教案：

Hi, welcome to Xiaoming Yingyu! Let’s start with our slang for today.

歡迎來到小明英語！讓我們從俚語開始吧

OK. You all know the word “read”. It means to read some words, read a book.

你們都知道read這個單詞吧，意思是閱讀

But you can also understand what we call “body language”.

你也可以讀懂肢體語言

If you can look at somebody and know that they are feeling sad, or maybe that they are happy,

如果你看到一個人并且能知道他們是否憂傷，開心，

or they are lying to you, or they forgot to do their homework again. That means you are reading that person.

或者他們在對你撒謊，或者他們又忘了寫作業。意思就是你在讀那個人

You are understanding what they mean. If you do this really well, you can say that you are reading a person like a book.

你可以讀懂他們的意思。如果你很擅長，你可以說你可以像讀一本書一樣去讀人

I have some friends who are really good at reading people, and some other friends who aren’t.

我有一些朋友很擅長讀人，也有些朋友不擅長

That’s how you use that word in a sentence. There’s another slang phrase that says “read between the lines”.

你就可以這樣把它用在句子里。另外一個俚語叫做read between the lines

When you read a book, you read line after line. But sometimes there’s a little bit more meaning to a book than what you read.

當你讀書的時候，你會一行一行地讀。但是有的時候讀書也有更深一些的意思

A story about a young person moving to the city represents how life is full of opportunity. It’s not just about that person.

一個關于年輕人來到城市的故事講述了生活里的很多機遇，不僅僅是關于那個年輕人

A friend might spend a lot of time talking about how this girl ignoring him,

一個朋友可能會總跟你說一個女生怎樣忽視他

how he feels like she’s being so rude to him by not responding to his texts or ever spending time with him.

他感到她很粗魯，因為她從來不回短信或在一起相處

And then he might say “Can’t you read between the lines? I really like her.”

然后他可能會說“你難道看不出來嗎，我真的很喜歡她”

In this case, your friend is asking you to understand the bigger meaning, not just exactly what he tells you.

在這里，你的朋友想讓你去明白真正的含義，不僅僅是他告訴你的內容

Or another case, if your dad is telling you to get better grades,

或者，如果你爸爸告訴你要考高分

he’s trying to tell you between the lines that he cares about you and wants you to work harder so that you can have a better future.

他其實是在告訴你他很關心你，想讓你好好努力，有一個更好的未來

That’s our slang for today, now let’s talk about sentence structure.

這就是我們今天的俚語，現在我們來講句型

Here’s our first example: “There are differences in the amount of time required to complete reading this book.”

我們第一個例子是需要讀完這本書的時間因人而異

“There are differences in the amount (or number) of A required for B.

完成B所需要的A的數量因人而異

Another example is “There are differences in the amount of money required to buy a car.”

另外一個例子是需要買一輛車的錢因人而異

You might need a lot of money, you might not need very much.

你可能需要很多錢，也可能不需要很多

There are differences in how much you need of A, money, to do B, buy a car.

你需要的A，錢，去做B，買車，是因人而異的

One last example for you: “There are differences in the number of hotdogs required by a person to be full.”

最后一個例子是每個人吃熱狗的數量因人而異

I don’t need many hotdogs to be full, but my friend sometimes can eat a lot.

我不需要吃很多熱狗就可以吃飽，但是我的朋友有時候會吃很多

So there are differences in how many hotdogs you need to be full. Let’s talk about etymology.

所以吃多少個熱狗因人而異。我們來說說詞源吧

Our root word for today is glut, or gluten. In Latin, this means glue, or sticky substance.

我們今天的詞根是glut或者gluten。在拉丁語里，它的意思是膠水，或者粘的物質

Which of course glu kind of sounds like glue, right? So that’s the obvious one. That’s the one you can tell right away this root is used for.

Glu聽上去像glue吧？這個很明顯。你可以立刻就直到這個詞根在這里的用途

But there are a couple of other words that’s also used for. You might hear a lot, especially if you like cooking.

不過也有另外兩個單詞用這個詞根。如果你喜歡做飯，那你可能經常聽說下面這個詞。

Gluten is the part of wheat that has a lot of protein, and it’s what makes dough sticky.

Gluten（面筋）是小麥富有蛋白質的部分，這也是為什么面團會很粘

So you hear glue for gluten, the sticky part of wheat. Glue is also used in glutinous, which means gummy, chewy, sticky.

所以你聽到了glue，就像在gluten里，小麥粘的那部分。Glue在glutinous里也用到了，意思是粘性的

In English,糯米is called glutinous rice because it’s sticky. And if you are glutinating something, you are sticking them together.

在英語里，糯米叫做glutinous rice。如果你在glutinate某物，你在把它們粘在一起

If you glutinate two things, you are putting glue and you are putting something else on top and you can’t pull them apart.

如果你在glutinate兩個物體，可以用膠水把其中一個粘在另外一個上面，你無法把它們分開

So if you see glu at the beginning of a word, you have a pretty good chance of guessing correctly that it means to stick something to something else.

如果你看到了一個單詞以glu開始，那么它很有可能是和粘讓某物相關的
