3.语法:
复习宾语从句的用法。
4.语言运用:
运用所学语言,完成教科书和练习册中规定的听、说、读、写任务;当上了电影演员。
句中 the States 即the United States of America,口语中用 the States或 the US 显得明快。
14. As early as his second film, Chaplin had developed his own manner of acting, the one that was to become world-famous.早在他演第二部电影时,他已形成了他自己的风格, 即后来
闻名于世的那种风格。
(1) as early as his second film=as early as the time when he acted in his second film
(2) the one 是不定代词,在此句中指代前面的 his own manner of acting,作同位语。值得注意的是 one, ones 所指代的必须是可数名词,不能指代不可数名词,如我们可以说:
This shirt is too small for me; could you show me a larger one?
这件衬衫我穿太小,请给一件大一点的让我看看。
This is not my bike; mine is the smaller one. 这不是我的自行车,我的是一辆小一点的车。
但我们不能说:* I prefer green tea to black one. 与红茶相比,我更喜欢绿茶。
句中one用错了,应改为tea,因为tea是一个不可数名词。又如:
Pop music is the music he likes best. 流行音乐是他最喜欢的音乐。
句中第二个music不能换成one,因为music也是不可数名词。
(3) that was to become world-famous是一个定语从句, 修饰 the one,其中包含有“was to become”的结构为“be+to do”。 这种结构表示“将来”的概念,常表示“必然会……”,
“注定要……”的意思。又如:
On his first day in London he met Jane, who was to be his wife later.
在到达伦敦的当天,他遇见了Jane,她后来成了他的妻子。
He was later to regret his decision.事后他后悔作出了那个决定。(作出决定时就注定以后要后
悔的)
15. Even his way of walking down the street and turning a corner could be recognized as his own.
甚至他在街上走路和拐角处转弯的那种姿态, 都可以被认为是他独有的。
(1) a way of doing sth.意为:做某事的方法。又如:
I have no way of finding out where they live. 我无法查出他们住在何处。
There was only one way of doing this properly. 只有一个办法能妥善处理此事。
(2) way和chance一样,除后面跟of短语外, 还常跟动词不定式。又如:
The only way of getting/to get in touch with him is by telephone.
和他取得联系的唯一办法就是打电话。
We have no way of communicating/to communicate with him. 我们没法和他交流。
(3) walk down/up the street=walk along the street 。down和up在此均作介词用,等于along.
(4) be recognized as 意为“被公认为……;认出是”。 例如:
John is recognized as the best footballer in the school. 约翰被认为是学校中最好的足球手。
I recognized the handwriting as that of my father's. 我认出了那是我父亲的手笔。
16. After a short while 可视情况明白为:“不久”;“过了一会儿”。又如:
After a while the train stopped at a station. 过了一会儿,火车到站停靠了。
After a while, he began to work hard again. 不久他又拼命地工作起来了。
17. Chaplin's earliest films were silent, because the equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed.
卓别林最早期的电影是无声电影, 因为那时给影片配音的设备还没有研制出来。
(1) equipment是不可数名词。又如:video equipment影像设备;fire-fighting equipment 救火器材等。
(2) add...to... 意为“将……加至……” 又如:
She added sugar to her tea. 她在茶里加了一点儿糖。
Would you like to add anything to what I've said? 你想补充我刚才说的话吗?
If you add 5 to 3, you get 8. 如果你将5加上3,你就得到8。(5加3得8。)
18. The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogue.
有声电影的发展对卓别林来说是一个问题, 因为他对制作配有对白的影片没有把握。

They are uncertain about/of the future. 他们对将来没有把握。
I'm uncertain of/about the meaning of the sentence. 我不能确定此句的意思。
We are uncertain of the time they'll arrive. 我们不能肯定他们什么时候到。
I shall certainly be present, but I am uncertain about my wife.

(2) dialogue 作“对白;对话”解, 大多作不可数名词用。又如:
He's not very good at writing dialogue. 他不擅长于写对白。
At last there can be dialogue between our two governments.咱们二国政府之间终于能进行对话了。
19. Two of his greatest films, “City Lights” and “Modern Times” were of this kind.
他最成功的影片中的二部《城市之光》和《摩登时代》就是这种影片。
句中 were of this kind = were films of this kind.我们一般不说“this kind of+名词复数”, 而用“名词复数+ of this kind”的结构。又如:
Books of this kind are hard to find now. 这类书现在很难找到。
Trees of this kind are very common in that area. 这种树在那个地区很常见。
20. Chaplin's later films, however, were not well received. 但卓别林后期的影片不太受欢迎。
句中 be well received 作“受到欢迎/好评”解, receive作“反响”解。又如:

这本书受到报界和公众的热忱欢迎。

(1) live 一般作不及物动词用。例如:We are living happily now. 我们生活得很幸福。

He lived ten years as a monk. 他过了10年和尚生活。
22. Before he died, he was honoured in a number of ways for his contributions to the film industry.

23. The film was set in California in the middle of the nineteenth century.
这部电影的背景是19世纪中叶的加利福尼亚。
句中 be set in 意为“以……为背景”,“(故事)的背景是”。例如:

卓别林被认为是电影艺术史上最伟大、最滑稽的演员之一。
(2) pan 在此句中作不及物动词用,意为“(用淘盘法)淘金” 。所谓用淘盘法淘金就是在水中用搅动淘金盘的方法使有用的金矿石颗粒与泥土等无用砂粒分开。
25. So far, they have been unlucky in their search for gold and have no money at all.
到目前为止,他们寻找金子运气不佳,身无分文。
(1) so far意为“到目前为止”。又如:
So far we have learned about 1 500 English words. 到目前为止我们已学了1 500个英语单词。
(2) be unlucky in sth. 意为“在某方面不幸运/不顺利” 又如:

(3) in one's search for sth 意为“寻找/寻求某东西”,
这个介词短语一般作状语用。 又如:

(4) a/the search for 意为“搜寻”。例如:

注:从上面的例子可以看出:“search”前如由a/the/one's等修饰时,介词一般用for,否则用of。
26. Chaplin and his friend are caught on the edge of a mountain in a snow storm in small wooden house. 卓别林和他的朋友被一场暴风雪困在山边的一座小木屋里。
(1) be caught in a rain/snow storm 意为“遇上雨/ 暴风雪” “be caught”在此句中意为“突然遇上(大雨,风暴等)。又如:

27. Chaplin sits down at the table and eats the shoe with a knife and fork, enjoying every mouthful.
卓别林坐在桌旁,手持刀叉,津津有味地吃起鞋子来。
(1) a knife and fork(吃西餐用的)一副刀叉。knife and fork 在此是固定词组,故不说 a knife and a fork 或 a fork and knife。 又如:
Put your knife and fork down on the plate if you've finished eating.
如果你吃完了,(请)将刀叉放在盘子里。
(2) knife and fork 作为一个整体,一般视为单数处理。 例如:

28. He makes it seem as if this is one of the most delicious meals that he has ever enjoyed.
他把吃皮鞋的情景演得像是他吃过的最香的一顿饭似的。
(1) make作“使得”解,后面跟的“it seem ”是复合宾语(即宾语it加宾补seem...),其中it指上句中“吃皮鞋”这件事。
(2) as if 意为“好像,似乎”的意思,在此句中引导一个表语从句(seem在此句中作连系动词用,意为“看来;似乎”)。又如:

He paused as if he found a difficulty. 他停顿了一下,好像是碰上了什么困难。
(4) as if 有时写成 as though, 以上例子都可以改成 as though 而意思不变。
(5) as if/though 后既可跟陈述语气(以上例子全是陈述语气)又可跟虚拟语气(虚拟语气是一种假设,往往不是现实)。例如:
I've loved you as if you were my son.
我一直把你当儿子一样爱着你。(而事实上“你”不是“我”的儿子)
I remember the whole thing as if it happened yesterday.
整个事情我还记得清清楚楚,就像是昨天刚发生的一样。(事实上并不是昨天发生的)

30. Having a black hat on, Chaplin carried a stick, which he used to swing in the air.
卓别林头戴黑礼帽,手持拐仗在空中挥舞。
(1) Having a black hat on 是现在分词短语,在此句中作方式状语用,修饰“Chaplin carried a stick.”
(2) have a hat on = wear a hat。一般 have sth. on 表示的是一种状态而不是动作,所以不用其进行时态。 例如:
He has on a white shirt today. 相当于 He is wearing a white shirt today. 所以一般不说 He is having on a white shirt today.
31. His earliest films, all of which were produced in a great hurry, are not often shown today.
他最早期的电影都是匆忙赶制出来的,现已不大上映了。
介词短语in a hurry意为“匆忙”, 一般在句中作状语或表语用。又如:
He left home in a hurry. 他匆匆地离开了家。
In his hurry, he forgot to leave his address. 匆忙间他忘了留下地址。
She seemed to be in a hurry to leave. 她似乎急着走。
I'm in no hurry to go. 我不急着走。
32. More often, one person, for example, a woman, played the piano.
常常是有一人,比如一位女性,弹着钢琴。
(1) play the piano 是“弹钢琴”的意思。 演奏乐器如:play the piano/the guitar/violin/flute(弹钢琴/弹吉它/ 拉小提琴/ 吹笛子)等,其乐器名前一般要用定冠词 “the”。
(2) 进行体育活动,例如: play basketball/volleyball/ football(打篮球/打排球/踢足球)等,其体育用具名称前不能加任何冠词(a,an,the)。
33. Pick out the wrong sentences and correct them. 找出错误的句子并加以改正。
句中 pick out 作“仔细找出”解。 又如:Have you picked out the movie you want to see?
你有没有选定你要看的电影?
My wife is going with me to help me pick out a new suit. 我妻子将和我一同前往,帮我挑选一套新的西装。
34. Chaplin who was brought up by his mother learnt to dance at an early age.
卓别林由他母亲抚养,很早就学会了舞蹈。
句中 bring sb. up 意为“抚养成人”〔to educate and care for (a child) until grown-up〕。 又如:
It's not easy to bring up children. 将孩子抚养成人不是一件容易的事。
She was brought up to believe that money is the most important thing in life.
她从小就被灌输一种信念,即金钱是生活中最重要的东西。
He was born in Shanghai but brought up in Beijing. 他生在上海长在北京。
35. 本单元学习非限定性定语从句。以下几点请注意:
(1)先行词和引导词之间用逗号; 如果这个定语从句处在另一个句子中间,那么其前后都要用逗号。例如:
A) On the train from Beijing to Dalian we met a Japanese, who spoke wonderful Chinese.
在北京去大连的火车上我们遇见了一个日本人,他讲一口漂亮的中文。
B) The project, which lasted four years, cost $ 1billion. 那个项目持续四年,耗资10亿美元。
(2) 非限定性定语从句一般不用that引导。例如:
C) The temple, which was built on the edge of the lake in 1456, was destroyed in an earthquake two years
ago. 那座庙宇在二年前的地震中被毁了,它是1456年建于那湖边的。
D) The man in the black coat, who used to be our English teacher, has just come back from the US.
那个穿黑衣服的男人刚从美国回来,他以前是我们的英语老师。
E) He went to live in Hong Kong in 1943, when he was 12. 他于1943年去香港定居,当时他12岁。
F) He was born in that old town, where there have been some changes in the last few years.
他出生在那个古镇上,近几年那里有了一些变化。
我们可以从以上A) B) C) D) E) F)六句中看出, 非限定性定语从句一般不用that引导。
(3) 非限定性定语从句的作用与其说是“限定”,倒不如说是一种“补充说明”。请注意以下句子的译文:
Tom's father, who is an engineer, stayed in Egypt for 4 years.
汤姆的父亲是个工程师,他在埃及呆了4年。 或译成:汤姆的父亲在埃及呆了4年,他是个工程师。 但不能译成:汤姆的当工程师的父亲在埃及呆了4年。这样译,给人一个印象,好像他还有不当工程师的父亲。
又如:Her brother, who is 18 this year, is a PLA man.
她的弟弟是个解放军战士,现年18岁。 但不能译成:她的18岁的弟弟是个解放军战士。 如果这样译,就意味着她的弟弟不止一个, 而是有二个以上。
(4) “限定”和“非限定”有时在意义上区别很大:
All the books there, which have pictures in them, were written by Lu Xun.
那里的书都是鲁迅写的,书里面都有插图。
All the books there that have pictures in them were written by Lu Xun.
那里凡是有插图的书都是鲁迅写的
Unit 2 No Smoking, please
Lesson 5
Step 1 Revision
1 Check the homework exercises.
2 Revise simple phrases for asking permission: ask individual Ss Can I borrow your book, please? May I open the window? Could I use your pen, please? etc. Help the Ss to answer Yes, of course. Then get the Ss to ask each other for permission to do things.
Step 2 Presentation
SB Page 7, Part 1. Books closed! Tell the Ss Wang Bing wants to do two things. What are they? Listen carefully. Speech Cassette Lesson 5. Play the tape or read the dialogue (playing both parts yourself). Get the Ss to tell you the answer. (Smoke; use the phone.) Then ask Can he smoke in the office? Why not? (No; it's not allowed.) and Can he use the phone? (Yes.)
Step 3 Language focus
Ask How does Wang Bing ask for permission? What words does he use? Play or read the dialogue again and note the answers on the Bb:
Do you mind if I smoke?
Would you mind if I smoked in the office next door?
I wonder if I could use your phone.
Add the words revised earlier:
Can/May/Could I...?
Explain that these are all ways of asking permission to do things. Tell the Ss that Do/Would you mind... ? = Does/Would it bother you...? Note the Past Tense form in the conditional phrase Would you mind if I did...?
This sounds very polite. Play or read the dialogue again. This time the Ss listen and repeat. Then they practise the dialogue in pairs. Note that non- smoking offices means offices in which smoking is not allowed.
Step 4 Practice
SB Page 7, Part 2. Go through the phrases in the table and make sure the Ss understand them. Go ahead = Please do. Carry out a short drill. Say to the Ss:
T: You want to borrow my pen. Use Do you mind. Ss: Do you mind if I borrow your pen? T: No. Go ahead. You want to use my dictionary. Use
Would you mind... ?
Ss: Would you mind if I used your dictionary? T: No. Go ahead, (etc.)
Practise negative replies. Ask individual Ss Would you mind if I kept your pen/threw your dictionary out of the window? etc. Then the Ss work in pairs, asking their partners for permission to do the actions in Part 2.
Step 5 Dialogue
SB Page 7, Part 3. Go through the model dialogue with the whole class. Make it clear that B is unwilling to help, but agrees in the end. Get the Ss to make up similar dialogues and ask some pairs to act out their dialogues in front of the class.
Step 6 Workbook
Wb Lesson 5, Exx. 1-3.
Read and act out the dialogue in pairs. Call out several pairs to give out their performance in front of the class.
Discuss the answers to Ex. 2 in pairs. Then check the answers with the whole class. The Ss are encouraged to give different answers.
For Ex. 3, get two Ss to read aloud the model dialogue. You may use different expressions to make another dialogue with a student about the same picture. Then let the Ss practise in pairs with the other three pictures. Finally call out several pairs to give their dialogues.
Step 7 Consolidation
Practise the dialogue in SB Page 7, Part 1 again.
Homework
Finish the Workbook exercises.
Revise the dialogues in SB Lesson 5.
Write one of the dialogues in Ex. 3 in the exercise book.
Lesson 6
Step 1 Revision
Check the homework exercises, especially Wb Les¬son 5, Ex. 3.
Revise the dialogues in SB Lesson 5. If necessary, give the Ss more drilling in the asking for permission phrases in SB Lesson 5, Part 2.
Step 2 Preparation for reading
Brainstorm smoking. Draw a No smoking sign and ask What does this mean? Where can you find this sign? Why is smoking not allowed? Who smoke more cigarettes in China: men or women? Make a note of the Ss' answers on the Bb. Teach some key vocabulary, such as a packet of cigarettes, tobacco and habit at this stage.
SB Page 8, Part 1. Talk about the picture in the usual way. Ask What can you see in the picture? (Mother, her child, and a cigarette.) What does the picture mean? (It means that smoking is bad for the health of your family.) Trans¬late the Chinese into English. (For the health of your family ....) Explain that the slogan indicates "YOU MUST STOP SMOKING!"
Then read through the questions at the top of the page. Let the Ss read the passage quickly to find the answers. (Both sentences are true.)
Step 3 Reading
Wb Lesson 6, Ex. 1. Read through the exercise with the Ss and make sure they know what to do. Then let them read the passage carefully and note the answers. Discuss the answers with the whole class and deal with any language points that arise.
Notes:
a tobacco: the name of the plant that is made into ciga¬rettes
b illnesses caused by smoking tobacco: These include heart and lung diseases.
c bedclothes = sheets, blankets, cover, etc, put on a bed (not the clothes a person wears in bed |
