第四十七課 英文字后頭加上字母S
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們要復習五種在英文字后頭加上字母 s 的說法. 頭兩種是把兩 個字簡化為一個字, 比方把 he is 說成 he's, 或是把 he has 說成 he's; 第三種 是用來表示復數名詞,比方 teachers, students, 第四種是第三人稱單數動詞, 比 方 "買" buys, "吃" eats 等等; 最后一種是用來表示所有格, 比方 "美國人的" American's, "政府的" government's 等等. 同時我們也要學習跟美國賦稅制度 有關系的詞匯.
現在我們來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說亨利跟凱特談起了繳所得稅的事 情. 請你注意兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
F: Henry, our income tax is due soon. Did you call our accountant?
M: He's figuring out our taxes right now. I gave him all the records on our income and expenses last week.
F: The government has deducted taxes from our paychecks all year. I hope we get some of that money back or at least that we won't have to pay more.
M: Remember the money your aunt left us when she died, and the money you made when you taught night school?
F: Yes.
M: Well, that's all taxable income.That money has put us in a higher tax bracket.
F: What does that mean?
M: It means we have to pay more taxes.
F: Well, it looks like we'll have to make more money this year just to pay last year's taxes.
現在我們把整段對話再聽一遍

F: The government has deducted taxes from our paychecks all year. I hope we get some of that money back or at least that we won't have to pay more.

現在老師把對話里包含了我們今天要學的語法的句子再念一遍給你聽.

二.SHE'S和HE'S
首先我們根據對話內容一方面練習把she is 簡化為 she's, 把 he is簡化為 he's, 一方面也復習對話里的新詞匯. 練習的作法是老師念一個句子, 比方: Kate is talking to Henry. 學生就把句子改為: She's talking to Henry. 請你跟學生一起作 練習. 現在我們開始.

F: She's talking to Henry.
M: Kate is asking Henry about their income tax.
F: She's asking Henry about their income tax.
M: Kate is suggesting that Henry call their accountant.
F: She's suggesting that Henry call their accountant.
M: Henry is telling Kate about their taxable income.
F: He's telling Kate about their taxable income.
M: Henry is explaining the higher tax bracket to Kate.
F: He's explaining the higher tax bracket to Kate.
