第三十九課 時間從句,抽煙與戒煙
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里,我們一方面復習用when, w-h-e-n, when, before, b-e-f-o-r-e, before, since, s-i-n-c-e, since 等等介詞開頭, 用來表明時間的從句, 一方面復習以前學 過的一些動詞詞組, 同時我們要學一學有關抽煙,戒煙的一些詞匯.
首先我們來聽今天這一課的對話,內容是說鮑勃告訴珍妮他想戒煙. 請你注意 聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
M: Jenny, I'm going to stop smoking when I finish this pack of cigarettes.
F: Good for you, Bob, but why are you telling me?
M: To help me stop. When I tell all my friends, then I won't dare to smoke in front of them.
F: Why do you want to quit? I thought you liked to smoke.
M: I do. But it's getting so expensive. And now that I'm jogging, when I run, I can hardly breathe
F: I'll help you quit. Whenever you want a cigarette, call me and I'll take your mind off it.
M: Thanks, Jenny, I'll do it.
F: Bob, why don't you stop now? You don't have to smoke the rest of that pack.
M: I just bought it. I don't want to waste my money. I'll call you tomorrow.
下面老師用慢速度再把整段對話念一遍.
M: Jenny, I'm going to stop smoking when I finish this pack of cigarettes.
F: Good for you, Bob, but why are you telling me?
M: To help me stop. When I tell all my friends, then I won't dare to smoke in front of them.
F: Why do you want to quit? I thought you liked to smoke.
M: I do. But it's getting so expensive. And now that I'm jogging, when I run, I can hardly breathe
F: I'll help you quit. Whenever you want a cigarette, call me and I'll take your mind off it.
M: Thanks, Jenny, I'll do it.
F: Bob, why don't you stop now? You don't have to smoke the rest of that pack.
M: I just bought it. I don't want to waste my money. I'll call you tomorrow.
現在我把對話里包含時間從句的句子挑出來, 請老師再念一遍給你聽.
M: I'm going to stop smoking when I finish this pack of cigarettes.
M: When I tell all my friends, then I won't dare to smoke in front of them.
M: When I run, I can hardly breathe.
F: Whenever you want a cigarette call me.
二.表明時間從句的介詞
現在我們開始作練習. 第一組練習是說鮑勃什么時候抽煙, 練習的作法是老 師念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞或是詞組, 比方 "緊張" nervous, "在指定 地區" in the designated area 等等, 學生就把他聽到的詞組代換到原來的句 子里. 在學生作練習的時候請你也一起作.
M: Bob smokes when he is studying for the exams.
M: nervous
F: Bob smokes when he is nervous.
M: in the designated area
F: Bob smokes when he is in the designated area.
M: watching television
F: Bob smokes when he is watching television.
下面一組練習是說鮑勃什么時候不抽煙, 比方在跑步的時候, 在禁煙地區的 時候等等. 請你跟剛才一樣作練習.
M: Bob doesn't smoke when he is in a theatre.
M: on a bus
F: Bob doesn't smoke when he is on a bus.
M: jogging
F: Bob doesn't smoke when he is jogging.
M: in a restricted area
F: Bob doesn't smoke when he is in a restricted area.
下面我們作一組綜合練習, 用許多不同介詞作表明時間的從句, 同時我們也要 復習一些跟動名詞一起用的動詞詞組, 比方 take up, keep on, give up 等等. 練 習的內容也都跟鮑勃抽煙有關系. 請你注意聽老師問問題, 并且根據問題作肯 定的答覆. 每回答一句老師就會念正確答案給你聽.
