第四十五课 简化修饰名词的从句
一.本课要点及示例
在这一课里, 我们学习怎么样简化用来修饰名词的从句, 比方 "唱歌的人" the man who is singing 可以简化为 the man singing; "他唱的歌" the song which was sung by him 可以简化为 the song sung by him. 另外我们还要学习一些跟 音乐有关系的词汇.
现在我们先来听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说亨利跟小女儿琳达谈起了听流 行歌曲的事情. 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.
M: Linda, turn down the record player. I'm trying to read.
F: That's my new record, Dad. Don't you like it?
M: The man singing, is he the one who won all the music awards?
F: Yes, he is also the one singing in the movie we saw last night on T.V.
M: Well, I'm not too fond of his songs. He doesn't sing about meaningful things.
F: He does! You just don't listen to his songs.
M: You play them so loudly. Anyone not listening must be deaf.
F: Okey, Dad. I'll turn down the record player.
现在我们再把整段对话听一遍. 请你特别注意听.
M: Linda, turn down the record player. I'm trying to read.
F: That's my new record, Dad. Don't you like it?
M: The man singing, is he the one who won all the music awards?
F: Yes, he is also the one singing in the movie we saw last night on T.V.
M: Well, I'm not too fond of his songs. He doesn't sing about meaningful things.
F: He does! You just don't listen to them.
M: You play them so loudly. Anyone not listening must be deaf.
F: Okey, Dad. I'll turn down the record player.
现在我们把对话里包含了我们今天要学的语法的词组挑出来,再念一遍给你听.
M: the man singing
F: the one singing in the movie
M: anyone not listening
二.简化用来修饰名词的从句
听到这儿,我想你对怎么简化从句已经有点儿概念. 现在我请英文老师再念一 些句子进一步作比较.首先男老师念两个句子,比方:The man asks Linda to turn down the record player. He is Henry. 女老师就把两个句子合并成一句:The man who asks Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 然后女老师再用动词 加上 i-n-g 把从句加以简化,所以整个句子就变成: The man asking Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 老师念句子的时候请你注意听.
M: The girl is listening to the record. She is Linda.
F: The girl who is listening to the record is Linda.
F: The girl listening to the record is Linda.
M: The man is talking to Linda. He is her father.
F: The man who is talking to Linda is her father.
F: The man talking to Linda is her father.
M: The man asks Linda to turn down the record player. He is Henry.
F: The man who asks Linda to turn down the record player is Henry.
F: The man asking Linda to turn down the record player is Henry.
M: The man is singing. He won many awards.
F: The man who is singing won many awards.
F: The man singing won many awards.
