第四十五課 簡化修飾名詞的從句
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學習怎么樣簡化用來修飾名詞的從句, 比方 "唱歌的人" the man who is singing 可以簡化為 the man singing; "他唱的歌" the song which was sung by him 可以簡化為 the song sung by him. 另外我們還要學習一些跟 音樂有關系的詞匯.
現在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說亨利跟小女兒琳達談起了聽流 行歌曲的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
M: Linda, turn down the record player. I'm trying to read.
F: That's my new record, Dad. Don't you like it?
M: The man singing, is he the one who won all the music awards?
F: Yes, he is also the one singing in the movie we saw last night on T.V.
M: Well, I'm not too fond of his songs. He doesn't sing about meaningful things.
F: He does! You just don't listen to his songs.
M: You play them so loudly. Anyone not listening must be deaf.
F: Okey, Dad. I'll turn down the record player.
現在我們再把整段對話聽一遍. 請你特別注意聽.
M: Linda, turn down the record player. I'm trying to read.
F: That's my new record, Dad. Don't you like it?
M: The man singing, is he the one who won all the music awards?
F: Yes, he is also the one singing in the movie we saw last night on T.V.
M: Well, I'm not too fond of his songs. He doesn't sing about meaningful things.
F: He does! You just don't listen to them.
M: You play them so loudly. Anyone not listening must be deaf.
F: Okey, Dad. I'll turn down the record player.
現在我們把對話里包含了我們今天要學的語法的詞組挑出來,再念一遍給你聽.
M: the man singing
F: the one singing in the movie
M: anyone not listening
二.簡化用來修飾名詞的從句
聽到這兒,我想你對怎么簡化從句已經有點兒概念. 現在我請英文老師再念一 些句子進一步作比較.首先男老師念兩個句子,比方:The man asks Linda to turn down the record player. He is Henry. 女老師就把兩個句子合并成一句:The man who asks Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 然后女老師再用動詞 加上 i-n-g 把從句加以簡化,所以整個句子就變成: The man asking Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 老師念句子的時候請你注意聽.
M: The girl is listening to the record. She is Linda.
F: The girl who is listening to the record is Linda.
F: The girl listening to the record is Linda.
M: The man is talking to Linda. He is her father.
F: The man who is talking to Linda is her father.
F: The man talking to Linda is her father.
M: The man asks Linda to turn down the record player. He is Henry.
F: The man who asks Linda to turn down the record player is Henry.
F: The man asking Linda to turn down the record player is Henry.
M: The man is singing. He won many awards.
F: The man who is singing won many awards.
F: The man singing won many awards.
