第三十五課 動詞詞組(一)
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們練習幾個由動詞和介詞構成的動詞詞組, 比方 "繼續" keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on. "延遲" put off, p-u-t o-f-f, put off, "放棄" give up, g-i-v-e u-p, give up 等等, 我們還要學習由動詞跟動名詞構成的動詞詞組, 比方 "考慮 參加" consider joining, "停止磋商" stop negotiating 等等.
現在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說珍妮跟同學鮑勃談起了大學畢 業之后要不要上研究院的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
M: Are you going on to graduate school when you get your BA?
F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it.
M: Why is that?
F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school.
M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese.
F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again?
M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go.
F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.
現在我請兩位英文老師再把整段對話用慢速度念一遍.
M: Are you going on to graduate school when you get your BA?
F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it.
M: Why is that?
F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school.
M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese.
F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again?
M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go.
F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.
下面老師把對話里包含今天要學的語法的句子用慢速度再念一遍給你聽.
F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree.
F: I may postpone getting it.
M: I've considered working for a while.
M: I don't want to put off learning Chinese.
F: Have you considered taking time off?
二.BE THINKING OF
聽了上面那些句子, 我想你對我們今天要學的兩種動詞詞組的用法已經有些 概念. 第一種就是用上介詞和動名詞的動詞詞組. 下面我們用 is thinking of 加上動名詞來表示 "想作什么事", 比方 "珍妮想輟學". 這句話英文可以這樣 說 Jenny is thinking of quitting school. 下面我們作一組練習看看珍妮想作什 么. 由老師念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞組, 學生就把詞組代換到原來的 句子里. 請你跟學生一起作練習.
M: Jenny is thinking of quitting school.
M: selling all her books
F: Jenny is thinking of selling all her books.
M: moving to the east coast
F: Jenny is thinking of moving to the east coast.
M: finding a high paying job there.
F: Jenny is thinking of finding a high paying job there.
M: renting an apartment in the city
F: Jenny is thinking of renting an apartment in the city.
M: buying a car
F: Jenny is thinking of buying a car.
