22、lls us one way a word can be used, I know from my own language that I cant always use words by simply looking them up in a dictionary and then putting them into sentences. Some words have many meanings. We have to know which meanings go where. Notes Context (文章或講話中的)前后文(根據(jù)前后文的邏輯可以確定某一個具有多種解釋的詞或短語的含義

23、) Which meanings go where 哪一種解釋講得通 A：我弄不懂為什么我們一定要記住會話。我們需要的是詞匯，而不是發(fā)音。 B：你不認為記住會話是學(xué)習(xí)詞匯的一個組成部分嗎？每當(dāng)我們記住一句會話，我們就記住了全部的上下文。而這上下文可以供我們了解一個單詞的一種用法。我從自己的語言中意識到，光靠查詞典然后把這些詞匯拼成句子，并不意味著會正確使用這些詞。有些意識有很多解釋。我們必須弄清楚在哪種情況下適用哪一種解釋。美國校園口語(10) 10.Spelling 拼音 A: You know, Ralph, since I started speaking English all the

24、 time my pronunciations getting better and even the grammars beginning to make some sense. But I dont think Ill ever be able to spell. B: Youre not alone there. I have trouble with spelling too.

26、也開始理順了。不過我不認為我能把字拼出來。 B：不是你一個人如此。我在拼音方面也有困難。當(dāng)我上小學(xué)的時候，我知道哪些詞是經(jīng)常拼錯的，但我沒有學(xué)會如何拼這些詞。 A：既然這么難，為什么學(xué)會準(zhǔn)確拼音又如此重要呢？ B：因為如果你能準(zhǔn)確無誤地拼音，人家就會把你看作受到教育的人。否則，在別人眼里你是個缺乏教育的人。美國校園口語(11) 11.Two-word Verbs 成語動詞 A: Hi, Mary, how are you doing?

Learning a language 學(xué)習(xí)一種語言 A: To speak a language, one must know its grammar almost co

39、mpletely, not just its vocabulary or its sounds, not even sets of rules for constructing sentences. But one cant learn a language by studying only its grammar. If you do this, you may learn only the grammar and not the language. Instead, by memorizing how to use them, one can learn both the grammar

40、of the language and the language. Notes Instead-rather A great many-a great deal A：為了能說一種語言，一個人不僅要掌握詞匯和發(fā)音，以及一系列造句的規(guī)則，還應(yīng)對語法做到差不多融匯貫通。但是僅僅學(xué)習(xí)語法，還不能掌握一種語法。如果只做到這點，那你學(xué)會的可能只是語法，而不是語言。相反，記住大量句子并學(xué)會使用這些句子，就能既學(xué)會語法，又學(xué)會語言。美國校園口語(15) 15.

It has a lot of words that are similar to words in Spanish. Even the sound systems are more similar than that of Ch

43、inese is to Spanish. How difficult a language is to learn depends mostly on how much it resembles your own language. Notes Sound system-the total arrangement of the vocal units of a language Resembles-is like A：人們常說漢語和英語是很難學(xué)的。有的時候我想要是我學(xué)法語或日語就好了。也許這兩種語言容易些。 B：可能，不過也可能不太容易。這要看你原來是說什么語言的。 A：為什么呢？這有什么關(guān)系

44、？ B：哦，語言大體上都是同樣地難學(xué)。一種語言中所說的絕大部分東西，在別的語言中差不多都有。 A：你的意思是說我學(xué)漢語會很容易？ B：不，因為你的母語是西班牙語。所以意大利語可能容易些。它有很多詞同西班牙語相似。連它的語音體系也比漢語更接近西班牙語。一種語言是否難學(xué)，主要看它在多大程度上同自己的語言相近美國校園口語(16) 16. American English Rhythm 美國英語的節(jié)拍 A: Hello, Harry. Where are you off to? B: Im going home to study my English lesson. A: English lesson

45、? B: Yes. Im trying to learn a little more. I dont always understand what people say, and they dont always understand me. A: Whatre you learning about? B: Well. For instance, some words in a sentence. The time between two of these stressed words is always about the same, no matter how many words the

46、re are. This is what makes English sound jerky. First you go very fast, and then perhaps you slow up. A: Hmmmm. I never noticed that. Give me an example. B: Sure, Heres a sentence we memorized for class. “You told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time.”It takes just as

47、long to say“not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time”as it does to say“you told me last night” Notes Accented-stressed Jerky 不規(guī)則地跳動 A：你好，哈里，你到哪兒去？ B：我回家去溫習(xí)英語課。 A：英語課？ B：是的，我想盡量多學(xué)一點。我總是聽不懂人家講的話，別人也聽不懂我講的話。 A：我在學(xué)習(xí)什么呢？ B：嗯，例如，在一句話中的有些詞是加重語氣的，讀音較重。不論一句中有多少加重的詞，其中兩個詞間隔的時間總是幾乎一樣的。這就使英語的音調(diào)顯得不平

48、穩(wěn)。開始你說得很快，后來可能慢下來。 A：哦，我倒從來沒有注意到這點。給我舉個例子。 B：可以。這兒有一句我們在上課時應(yīng)記住的話：“You told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time.”在說“not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time”這段話的時間就和說“you told me last night”這句話一樣長。美國校園口語(17) 17. “No”and“Not” “No”和“Not” A: Hi, Mary.
