【主题——吃透美语】
Today we'll carry on with "Let's have it." 今天我们来吃透美语。何谓“吃透”。我所说的“吃透”二字就是“二精读”“一精听”。二精读:一是阅读,就是把一个句子完全弄清楚:每个单词的词性、用法和在句子中扮演的角色,也就是说这个词在句子中充当什么成分,一个都不要放过。二是发音,要把一个句子读得完美,何至完美?就是每个单词不光出来,还要注意单词的重音,次重音;单词完后就是意群,要注意意群的连读,弱读,省略读,浊化音等等;意群完了,就是整个句子,根据情境那些单词要重读,意群和意群的连读,节奏的把握和感情的投入等等。一精听就是听录音时听出快速英语中每个连读弱读,省略读,浊化音、之类的地方。The above said is what we'er going to experience. Here we go. Please listen to the dialogue again.
A : I don't want to tell you why I was punished.
B : Let's have it. The teacher is upset with you.
【关键句子】
1 I don't want to tell you why I was punished.
【Real Speech】[ai'dəut.wɔdə'delju:waiwaiwɔz’puliʃt]
点拨
1 want to want是音标[t]结尾,to以音标[t]开头,因此前面的[t]就不发音。紧接着看to在美语中可发为[tə],而[t]在元音[ə]前浊化为[d]. So it's pronounces as['wɔndə]。The stress falls on the first syllable.
2 tell you tell以辅音[l]结尾,you的发音是半元音[ju:],元音和辅音进行连读,so it's pronounced as['telju:]. The stress falls on the first syllable.
3 why I why以元音[ai]结尾,I的发音也是[ai], 当2个ai要打架了,我们这是用[w]来调解他们。So , it's pronounced as['waiwai]。The stress falls on the first syllable.
【Key Words】surprised 是surprised 的过去分词,it means"feeling or showing surprise". 意思是:觉得奇怪的,感到以外的。Let's look at it classical phrase: be surprised at something or somebody, 译为真想不到某人......真想不到某事......。For example: I was surprised at how quickly she agreed. 我没想到他就这么快的同意了。I'm surprised at you, behaving like that in front of kids. 我真想不到他在孩子面前会做出这样的举动。I am surprised to do something和I am surprised that, 这个大家都很熟悉了,不过在此啰嗦一句,to do something是动词不定式做原因状语。That 后面引导的从句时补语从句,也成为形容词从句。
Surprising是surprise的现在分词,也是形容词。It means "causing surprise". 意思是:令人惊奇的,出人意料的,使人惊奇的。Let's look at some typical sentences. It's surprising what people will do for money. 人为了钱什么都干得出来,这不足为奇。A saying goes, "Money talks."常言道:“有钱能使鬼推磨。”
Okay, both surprised and surprising are adjective. How can they be made right use of them. Actually, it's easy. 主语使人就用过去分词性质的形容词surprised, 主语是物,就用现在分词性质的形容词surprising. In addition, 如果我们说到副词的话,就只是surprisingly, 不管使人还是物,没有surprisedly这个单词. For example: Surprisingly, she agreed straight away. 真想不到,她立马同意了。Not surprisingly on such a hot day, the beach was crowded. 在这么热的天,海滩上人们攒动不足为奇。
【Grammar】to tell you why I was punished是动词不定式做want的宾语,在这个动词不定式中,why I was punished是宾语从句,做tell的直接宾语,you做tell的间接宾语。
3 Let's have it.
【Real Speech】[lets'hævit]
点拨:have是以辅音[v]结尾,it是以元音[i]开头,辅音和元音连读,so, it's pronounces as['hævit]. The stress falls on the first syllable.
【Key Word】In this sentence, have means "perform a particular activity".作为这个意思,我有很熟悉的短语,such as : have a bathe洗澡,have a shower 淋浴,have a wash 洗一下。
【Translation】快点说。/让我听听看。/说说看。
3 The teacher is upset with you.
【Real Speech】[ðə'ti:tʃə.rizʌp'zetwiðju:]
点拨:
1 teacher is upset teacher以辅音[r]结尾,is是以元音[i]开头,连读为[ri],继续往下看,is以辅音[z]结尾,up以元音[ʌ]开头,在进行连读为[zʌ],upset发音为[ʌp'set],但是在美语中,[s]浊化为[z]. So, this sense group is pronounced as[.rizʌp'zet]. The stress falls on the third syllable and secondary stress falls on the first syllable.
2 with you with以辅音[ð]结尾,you的发音为半元音[ju:],辅音和元音连读。So, it's pronounced as [ðju:]
【Translation】老师对你生气了。
【Key word】In this sentence, upset means "unhappy or disappointed because of something unpleasant that has happened". 意思是:不高心,难过,沮丧,失望。For example: There's no point getting upset with him about it. 犯不着因他的事儿难过。And I am upset that ...这个用法大家很熟悉了,that 后面引导的是补语从句。Here we've got set phrases: be upset with somebody对某人发起,be upset about something 因某事难受,生气,be upset with somebody about something 因某事对某人生气。By the way, let's look at another phrase: an upset stomach ,意思是肠胃不舒适,腹泻
