Growing pains教案
“the two of us”我們倆,us僅指我們兩人; “two of us”我們中的兩個, us 所包含的人數大于二。
like crazy象瘋了一樣,英語口語中的習慣用法,相當于“as if we were crazy”。還可以說:like cats and dogs。
【英語語調】
語調(intonation)是一句話里聲調(pitch)高低抑揚輕重的配制和變化。英語有五種基本語調:升調(↗)、的降調(↙)、的升降調(∧)、降升調(∨)以及平調(→)。一句話除了詞匯意義(lexical meaning)還有語調意義(intonation meaning)。所謂詞匯意義就是話中所用詞的意義,而語調意義就是說話人用語調所表示的態度或口氣。一句話的詞匯意義加上語調意義才算是完全的意義。同樣的句子,語調不同,意思就會不同,請看下例:
1)a:jean,can you bring me the newspaper?
b:sorry?(↗)
jean用升調說“sorry”,其意思是“i didn't hear you.could you say that again,please?”
2)a:jean,can you bring me the newspaper?
b:sorry.(↙)
在對話2)中,jean用降調說“sorry”,顯然其意思是拒絕幫助或無能為力。
首先要知道英語主要有三種語調,分別是升調,降調和降升調。
升調一般表示"不確定" "話還沒有說完"或者"禮貌" 。經常用于下面幾類句型中:
(1)一般疑問句(yes-no questions) is he coming tonight? have you got the tickets?
(2)反問句(statements intended as questions) you are definitely coming? you like it?
(3)表示安慰或鼓勵(statements intended to be soothing or encouraging.) come with us.
(4)重復(repetition questions) when did you come?
說話時用"降凋",常常給人一種"完結"的印象。所以能使用降調的句子有以下幾類:
(1)陳述句(ordinary statements) you came on tuesday. i'd like some tea.
(2)特殊疑問句(wh- questions) when did you come? what's the time?
(3)帶命令口吻的祈使句(imperative sentences ( strong commands) put it over there! go and find it!
(4)感嘆句exclamatory sentences what an awful film that was!
如果要表示出"說話人改變主意,或話外有話之意",就可以用"降升調"。它主要出現在下面的句式中:
(1)含有對比的陳述句statements where contrast is implied. you can come on tuesday but not monday. he doesn't want it but his brother may.
(2)含保留意見的陳述句statements which imply reservation. i know his face. i like the colour of your dress.
(3)否認或矛盾statements which show disagreement or contradiction ──i can't do it. ──-you can. ──she arrived on monday. ──-on tuesday.
(4)警告warning. be careful. don't be late.
