第四十課 被動語態(tài)，美國婦女運動
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們要復習被動語態(tài); 我們也要談一談美國的婦女運動, 學一學 有關婦女運動的詞匯.
現(xiàn)在我們按照慣例先聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說亨利跟小女兒琳達談起了 婦女就業(yè)的問題. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調.
F: Dad, did Grandma go to the university when she was young?
M: No, she wasn't encouraged to do that.
F: Why not?
M: Well, at that time it was considered improper for a woman to have a higher education.
Grandma got married when she was eighteen and she spent all her life taking care of her husband and the kids.
F: You mean she never had a job?
M: No, women were told that they could not have a family and a career at the same time.
F: Mother could. She has a family and she is also a teacher. Isn't that a career?
M: Yes. Time has changed. Nowadays women are permitted to do things that they were not allowed to do before.
下面老師用慢速度再把整段對話念一遍給你聽.
