第四十六課 以 tion 和 al 結尾的詞匯
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學習以 t-i-o- n 結尾的名詞. 比方 education, introduction, production 等等. 我們還要學習以 a-l 結尾的形容詞, 比方 national, emotional, historical 等等.
首先我們還是聽兩位英文老師念一段對話,內容是說彼得和瑪麗談起了有一出 歌舞劇在紐約上演轟動一時的事情.請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
F: Peter, listen to the lyrics of this song.
M: What's so special about this song?
F: It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now. Do you like it?
M: Not very much. It sounds too emotional to me.
F: That's why it is so popular. It was recorded by Barbara Martin. I've heard that when she sang this song on stage the opening night, she created quite a sensation.
M: I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.
F: Well then, you need an introduction. The school drama club is putting on a musical production. Why don't you take me?
M: I have a better idea. Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz.
現在我們再聽老師把對話重念一遍
