第三十四課 動詞不定式(一)
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學習動詞加上 to, t-o, to 再加上另外一個動詞的用法, 比方 "拒絕參加" refuse to join, "要求得到" demand to get 等等. 我們還要學習許多 關于工會的詞匯.
首先我們來聽今天這一課的對話,內容是說凱特和他的同事比爾談起了參加 教師工會的事情, 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
F: Are you going to the union meeting tonight?
M: No, I refused to join a union. It's not professional.
F: I used to think that way, but not anymore. The union is here to stay, and I think it is a good thing.
M: Why do we need to have a union?
F: They communicate our views to the school board.
M: They demand to get more money and lighter workloads.
F: They work to get better learning situations for our students.
M: Like what?
F: They managed to get the school board to control class size and offer more courses.
M: Yes, they were helpful in those cases, but I still don't want to join the union.
現在我請英文老師用慢速度再把整段對話念一遍.
F: Are you going to the union meeting tonight?
M: No, I refused to join a union. It's not professional.
F: I used to think that way, but not anymore. The union is here to stay, and I think it is a good thing.
M: Why do we need to have a union?
F: They communicate our views to the school board.
M: They demand to get more money and lighter workloads.
F: They work to get better learning situations for our students.
M: Like what?
F: They managed to get the school board to control class size and offer more courses.
M: Yes, they were helpful in those cases, but I still don't want to join the union.
下面我們再把對話里包含了今天要學的語法的句子挑出來, 用慢速度念一遍 給你聽.
M: I refuse to join a union. I don't want to join the union.
F: I used to think that way.
M: Why do we need to have a union?
M: They demand to get more money.
F: They work to get better learning situations.
F: They managed to get the school board to control class size.
二.NEED TO
聽了上面那些句子, 我想你已經注意到用 to 連接的兩個動詞可以用來說明同 一個主語. 現在我們作幾組練習, 多學學這類動詞詞組. 首先我們學習 need to have. 比方 "工人需要減輕工作量." 這句話英文可以這樣說: Workers need to have lighter workloads.
下面英文老師用 need to have 作一些句子, 說明工人需要有什么, 比方 "較高 的工資" higher wages, "小額優惠" fringe benefits, "職業保障" job protection, "退休金" retirement pension,"工會代表" union representatives 等等. 你注意聽 老師念句子, 并且跟著學生把句子重復一遍.
M: Workers need to have higher wages.
F: Workers need to have higher wages.
M: Workers need to have better working conditions.
F: Workers need to have better working conditions.
M: Workers need to have more fringe benefits.
