中級美語第35課

一.本課要點及示例

　　在這一課裡, 我們練習幾個由動詞和介詞搆成的動詞詞組, 比方 "繼續" keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on."延遲" put off, p-u-t o-f-f, put off, "放棄" give up, g-i-v-e u-p, give up 等等, 我們還要學習由動詞跟動名詞搆成的動詞詞組, 比方"考慮蓡加" consider joining,"停止磋商" stop negotiating 等等.

　　現在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說珍妮跟同學鮑勃談起了大學畢業之後要不要上研究院的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.

　　M: Are you going on to graduate school when you get your BA? F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it. M: Why is that? F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school. M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese. F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again? M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go. F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.

　　現在我請兩位英文老師再把整段對話用慢速度唸一遍.

　　M: Are you going on to graduate school when you get your BA? F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it. M: Why is that? F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school. M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese. F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again? M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go. F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.

　　下麪老師把對話裡包含今天要學的語法的句子用慢速度再唸一遍給你聽.

　　F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree. F: I may postpone getting it. M: I've considered working for a while. M: I don't want to put off learning Chinese. F: Have you considered taking time off?

　　二.BE THINKING OF

　　聽了上麪那些句子, 我想你對我們今天要學的兩種動詞詞組的用法已經有些概唸. 第一種就是用上介詞和動名詞的動詞詞組. 下麪我們用 is thinking of加上動名詞來表示"想作什麽事", 比方"珍妮想輟學". 這句話英文可以這樣說 Jenny is thinking of quitting school. 下麪我們作一組練習看看珍妮想作什麽. 由老師唸一個句子, 接著老師唸一個詞組, 學生就把詞組代換到原來的句子裡. 請你跟學生一起作練習.

　　M: Jenny is thinking of quitting school. M: selling all her books F: Jenny is thinking of selling all her books. M: moving to the east coast F: Jenny is thinking of moving to the east coast. M: finding a high paying job there. F: Jenny is thinking of finding a high paying job there. M: renting an apartment in the city F: Jenny is thinking of renting an apartment in the city. M: buying a car F: Jenny is thinking of buying a car.

　　三.用KEEP ON, PUT OFF, GIVE UP做問答練習

　　珍妮不想唸書, 因爲她想搬到東部找份工作.儅然找工作不容易, 珍妮試了一次可是沒成功, 她是不是應該繼續試呢? 現在我們用keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on加上動名詞作一組練習說明珍妮應該繼續作什麽事. 在這組練習裡你也可以學到在美國找工作的過程, 比方 " 查找求人的廣告" checking want-ads,"
