The Right Magic 钓鱼秘诀ACT I教师讲解版视频

In the Stewart's house early Saturday morning. Grandpa is making breakfast as Robbie enters.

Robbie:Hi, Grandpa.

Grandpa:Hi, Robbie.

Robbie:Can I help?

Grandpa:Yes, indeed. Hand me two eggs from the refrigerator, and I'll make you two fried eggs.

Robbie:How about some bacon?

Grandpa:I made enough for an army. You going to the baseball game today? It's a perfect day for it----a little cloudy but nice and warm.

Robbie:Dad and I were planning to go to the game, but he has to work today, and my friends don't want to go. It's not an important game, anyway.

Grandpa:Do you have any other plans for the day?

Robbie:I'll work on my computer. _________________1___________________

Grandpa:Maybe you can teach me how to work on a computer someday.

Robbie:Anytime. It's really easy, but, like anything, you need to work at it, Grandpa.

[They begin to eat breakfast.]

Robbie:[eating] This bacon is great. I love crispy bacon.

Grandpa:Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?

Robbie:Nothing much.

Grandpa:Well, maybe your dad and I could take you fishing with us.

Robbie:I'd like that, but…

Grandpa:But what?

Robbie:But Dad is always so busy.

Grandpa:Well, can you come fishing with me tomorrow?

Robbie:Sure, I can.

Later that morning. Philip is eating breakfast quickly. He is speaking with Grandpa.

Grandpa:Robbie says you can't take him to the game today.

Philip:I really feel bad about it, but they need me at the hospital today, in the children's ward.

Grandpa:I understand.

Philip:Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.

Grandpa:Definitely. We should. You and Robbie and me. Remember our first fishing trip?

Philip:I sure do…. Well, I've got to run, Dad. See you later. [He leaves.]

On the patio later that day. Grandpa is looking at some fishing gear, things he will need for catching fish. Philip enters.

Philip:Going fishing?

Grandpa:I'm thinking about it…. So, how's work?

Philip:Oh, the usual problems.

Grandpa:You're working pretty hard these days.

Philip:I guess I am.

Grandpa:_______________2___________________

Philip:I remember exactly. It was on his birthday, June second, two years ago. [He laughs.] We didn't catch anything.

Grandpa:Remember our fishing trips?

Philip:Yes. I loved them.

Grandpa:Remember catching your first fish?

Philip:How can I forget? I fell out of the boat! We had some good times together.

Grandpa:Yes, we did. Maybe we should do it again.

Philip:How about tomorrow?

Grandpa:Don't you have to work?

Philip:My paper work will wait.

Grandpa:Oh, Robbie will be thrilled. I am, too, Son.

Philip:I want to spend more time with Robbie.

Grandpa:Tomorrow. ____________3______________And Robbie will love it.

Philip:Well, what's the weather going to be like?

Grandpa:Radio says sunny and mild.

Philip:Well, I'll tell Robbie. And thanks, Dad.

Grandpa:Don't thank me. I'm just being a grandfather.

美国文化介绍

三.美国文化介绍

我们在学英语的过程中,无论是老师还是其他朋友经常告诉我们,学习一种语言,不只要学其语言,还要学其文化。现在就了解一下本文中出现的一些美国特色的文化吧!

1.美国非常喜欢利用周末或节假日外出活动。夏季喜欢去海滨或北方避暑。冬季喜欢到南方或高山滑雪……一般都是自己开车去。在外出旅行度假时人们住的地方之一就是“lodge”。“lodge”是建在乡下或山中的小屋子。一般人们外出狩猎或搞体育运动时的落脚之地。

2. fishing trips:钓鱼是美国最常见的休闲活动之一,但在很多州里,随便垂钓可能是非法的。一般都要购买钓鱼执照,并遵照各地的特殊规定。例如在若干长度以下的鱼,钓上之后须再放回水中,或对于钓竿的使用,有些特别的限制等。
