课堂详解

短文回顾: People in north of China 习惯于把剪纸贴在on their windows. It's also a kind of house decorations like couplets in the Spring Festival, which give an auspicious atmosphere. There are all kinds of 剪纸。However, 要提及的the most important one is a red character of "Fu". It means good luck and fortune. So, 在吉祥喜庆的场合,人们习惯把a red character of "Fu"贴在on doors or walls.

下面我们来学几个短语。

1. be used to 习惯于

这是个形容词性短语,短语中的to是介词,后面接名词或者代词。如果要时候习惯于做某事的话,遇到的是动词,就要使用动词的动名词形式,即:be used to doing。

Eg. He is used to eating out all the time. 他已经习惯在外面吃饭了。You'll get used to the weather.你会习惯这天气的。(be used to 和get used to比较)

2. on + 修饰词+occasion

当occasion要表达在……情况,场合下的意思时,一定是跟介词on搭配。修饰词不同,就有不同的意思。总的来说,在occasion前面的修饰词有指示代词,数词和形容词。

(1)on this/that occasion 此时(彼时)

Eg. On that occasion he looked a perfect fool. 在这个场合,他看起来就像一个大傻瓜。I was not at home on that occasion. 那时我正好不在家。

(2)on the present/last occasion 在这次(上次)

Eg. On the last occasion of the election, he was hard-pressed to ensure that a supportive government emerged. 在上一次选举中,他对操纵政府已经感到力不从心。

注解:hard-pressed ['hɑ:d'prest] adj. 经济拮据的, 被催逼的, 经历大困难的ensure [inˈʃuə] vt.保证,担保,确保 supportive [sə'pɔ:tiv] adj.支持的;拥护的emerge [i'mə:dʒ] 出现;显现 ensure sth sth 确保某物是某物

Eg. On the present occasion he had a good deal of curiosity to the event of an evening which had raised such splendid expectations. 这次他极想知道大家朝思暮想的这一个盛会,经过情形究竟如何。

注解:curiosity [ˌkjuəri'ɔsiti] n.好奇心 curiosity to sth 对......的好奇心
expectations [ˌekspek'teiʃən] [ pl.]前程,成功的前景 a good deal of 很多,大量的(它只修饰不可数名词)

(3)on several occasions几次

Eg . On several occasions he strolled home with her. 有几次他陪她走回家。

注解:stroll [strəul] n.散步,闲逛 stroll to somewhere with sb 和某人散步到某处

Eg . Of late he had pleaded office duty on several occasions when his wife asked for his company to any evening entertainment. 但是近来他太太要他晚上陪她出去玩时,他好几次推托说事情忙,脱不开身。

注解:plead [pli:d] 提出......为借口(理由)entertainment [ˌentə'teinmənt] 消遣,娱乐 company ['kʌmpəni] 陪伴 office duty 办公室工作asked for one's company to sth 叫某人陪自己去做某事 evening entertainment 晚间娱乐,晚间消遣 of late 近来,最近 (Eg. The days have been getting warmer of late. 近来天变得热了。)

(4)on occasion 偶尔, 有时

Eg . I meet her on occasion at the club or at the theatre. 我有时在俱乐部或剧院里遇到她。Despite their intelligence, cleaver men can still be tricked on occasion. 聪明的人也有被戏弄的时候。

3. such as 例如,诸如

Eg. In this paragraph there are many nouns, such as boy, girl, and book.这一段里面有很多名词,例如男孩、女孩和书本。It's more useful to learn modern languages, such as English and German, than Latin.学习英语和德语等现代语言比学习拉丁语更为有用。

说完了生词和短语,我们就要来看句法,无法不成章。您要把上文的意思清楚的跟老外说,我还得要说2个语法现象。

1. 我们刚才说到了mention这个词,那么在文中要使用过去分词修饰不定代词one。文中为:the most important one mentioned提及到的最重要的一种窗花。因为mention与one存在被动关系,所以要用过去分词。

2. 用customary这个词在句子中在表述习惯上惯例上做某事,要用上形式主语it和动词不定式做真实主语,即:It is customary to do sth. 例句在我们的单词中已经出现了,在此就不讲了。

那么,我们本期节目就即将结束了,那么到底上文如何表达老外能了解到我们中国春节贴窗花的文化习俗了,那就留个您的小小的功课了,您不妨用今天所讲的知识点用英文来完成上文。

亲爱的朋友们,飘飘的雪花装载着话说地道美语节目对你深深的思念,点点的星光闪亮了话说地道美语节目对你浓浓的情谊,缕缕的花香飘摇着话说地道美语节目对你绵绵绵的祝福,时时刻刻把你挂念,Juliet希望话说地道美语能给您带来一些收获,祝您在新的一年里通过话说地道美语在英语的学习上步步高!节节高!
