中级美语第35课

一.本课要点及示例

　　在这一课里, 我们练习几个由动词和介词构成的动词词组, 比方 "继续" keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on. "延迟" put off, p-u-t o-f-f, put off, "放弃" give up, g-i-v-e u-p, give up 等等, 我们还要学习由动词跟动名词构成的动词词组, 比方 "考虑参加" consider joining, "停止磋商" stop negotiating 等等.

　　现在我们先来听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说珍妮跟同学鲍勃谈起了大学毕业之后要不要上研究院的事情. 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.

　　M: Are you going on to graduate school when you get your BA? F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it. M: Why is that? F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school. M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese. F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again? M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go. F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.

　　现在我请两位英文老师再把整段对话用慢速度念一遍.

　　M: Are you going on to graduate school when you get your BA? F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it. M: Why is that? F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school. M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese. F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again? M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go. F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.

　　下面老师把对话里包含今天要学的语法的句子用慢速度再念一遍给你听.

　　F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree. F: I may postpone getting it. M: I've considered working for a while. M: I don't want to put off learning Chinese. F: Have you considered taking time off?

　　二.BE THINKING OF

　　听了上面那些句子, 我想你对我们今天要学的两种动词词组的用法已经有些概念. 第一种就是用上介词和动名词的动词词组. 下面我们用 is thinking of加上动名词来表示 "想作什么事", 比方 "珍妮想辍学". 这句话英文可以这样说 Jenny is thinking of quitting school. 下面我们作一组练习看看珍妮想作什么. 由老师念一个句子, 接着老师念一个词组, 学生就把词组代换到原来的句子里. 请你跟学生一起作练习.

　　M: Jenny is thinking of quitting school. M: selling all her books F: Jenny is thinking of selling all her books. M: moving to the east coast F: Jenny is thinking of moving to the east coast. M: finding a high paying job there. F: Jenny is thinking of finding a high paying job there. M: renting an apartment in the city F: Jenny is thinking of renting an apartment in the city. M: buying a car F: Jenny is thinking of buying a car.

　　三.用KEEP ON, PUT OFF, GIVE UP做问答练习

　　珍妮不想念书, 因为她想搬到东部找份工作.当然找工作不容易, 珍妮试了一次可是没成功, 她是不是应该继续试呢? 现在我们用keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on加上动名词作一组练习说明珍妮应该继续作什么事. 在这组练习里你也可以学到在美国找工作的过程, 比方 " 查找求人的广告" checking want-ads,"
