一.本課要點(diǎn)及示例
    在這一課里, 我們學(xué)習(xí)怎么樣簡(jiǎn)化用來修飾名詞的從句, 比方 "唱歌的人" the man who is singing 可以簡(jiǎn)化為 the man singing; "他唱的歌" the song which was sung by him 可以簡(jiǎn)化為 the song sung by him. 另外我們還要學(xué)習(xí)一些跟音樂有關(guān)系的詞匯.
    現(xiàn)在我們先來聽今天這一課的對(duì)話, 內(nèi)容是說亨利跟小女兒琳達(dá)談起了聽流行歌曲的事情. 請(qǐng)你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).
    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.
    現(xiàn)在我們?cè)侔颜螌?duì)話聽一遍. 請(qǐng)你特別注意聽.
    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?

M: You play them so loudly. Anyone not listening must be deaf. F: Okey, Dad. I'll turn down the record player.
    現(xiàn)在我們把對(duì)話里包含了我們今天要學(xué)的語法的詞組挑出來,再念一遍給你聽.
    M: the man singing F: the one singing in the movie M: anyone not listening
    二.簡(jiǎn)化用來修飾名詞的從句
    聽到這兒,我想你對(duì)怎么簡(jiǎn)化從句已經(jīng)有點(diǎn)兒概念. 現(xiàn)在我請(qǐng)英文老師再念一些句子進(jìn)一步作比較.首先男老師念兩個(gè)句子,比方:The man asks Linda to turn down the record player. He is Henry. 女老師就把兩個(gè)句子合并成一句:The man who asks Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 然后女老師再用動(dòng)詞加上 i-n-g 把從句加以簡(jiǎn)化,所以整個(gè)句子就變成: The man asking Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 老師念句子的時(shí)候請(qǐng)你注意聽.
    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.
    下面我再請(qǐng)老師念一些句子給你聽, 看看怎么簡(jiǎn)化被動(dòng)語態(tài)從句. 首先男老師念兩個(gè)句子,比方: Linda is listening to the record. It was bought recently. 接著女老師就把兩句話合并為一句:Linda is listening to the record which was bought recently. 后女老師再用動(dòng)詞過去分詞把從句簡(jiǎn)化. 所以句子就變成: Linda is listening to the record bought recently. 老師念句子的時(shí)候請(qǐng)你注意聽.
    M: Linda is playing a record. It was recorded by her favorite singer. F: Linda is playing a record which was recorded by her favorite singer. F: Linda is playing a record recorded by her favorite singer. M: Linda is listening to the record. It was bought recently. F: Linda is listening to the record which was bought recently. F: Linda is listening to the record bought recently. M: Linda likes to listen to songs. They are sung by her favorite singer. F: Linda likes to listen to songs which were sung by her favorite singer. F: Linda likes to listen to songs sung by her favorite singer. M: The song won many awards. It was sung by Linda's favorite singer. F: The song which was sung by Linda's favorite singer won many awards. F: The song sung by Linda's favorite singer won many awards.
    下面我們作一組練習(xí), 一方面把從句簡(jiǎn)化, 一方面學(xué)習(xí)新詞匯. 練習(xí)的作法是由老師念一個(gè)有從句的詞組, 比方 "描述日常生活的歌曲" song which depict day to day situations. 學(xué)生就用動(dòng)詞加上 i-n-g 把詞組簡(jiǎn)化為: songs depicting day to day situations. 這組練習(xí)里有許多有用的詞匯,比方 "表達(dá)" express, "形容" describe, "反映" reflect, "以……為特點(diǎn)" feature,"主題" theme, "旋律" melody,"步調(diào)" pace, "節(jié)拍" rhythmic beat 等等, 請(qǐng)你在作練習(xí)的時(shí)候特別注意聽.學(xué)生作練習(xí)的時(shí)候請(qǐng)你也一起作.

" People who don't understand American culture can appreciate American songs. 這句話可以簡(jiǎn)化為: People not understanding American culture can appreciate American songs. 下面我們作一組練習(xí)多學(xué)學(xué)這種說法. 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容是說美國(guó)歌曲在世界各地普遍受歡迎, 連不說英文, 聽不懂歌詞的外國(guó)人都喜歡.
    現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你注意聽老師念一個(gè)有從句的句子, 然后請(qǐng)你把從句簡(jiǎn)化, 再說出整個(gè)句子. 每作完一句老師會(huì)把句子再念一遍給你聽.

    今天我們要聽一篇介紹美國(guó)音樂的文章. 這篇文章除了提到美國(guó)流行歌曲的種類和特點(diǎn), 還提到這些歌曲在世界各地都受歡迎的原因. 文章里許多句型和詞匯都是我們剛才練習(xí)過的.現(xiàn)在請(qǐng)你注意聽.
    One of America's most important exports is her modern music. American popular music is played all over the world. It is enjoyed by people of all ages in all countries. Though the lyrics are English, nevertheless people not speaking English enjoy it. The reasons for its popularity are its fast pace and rhythmic beat. The music has many origins in the United States. Country music, coming from the rural areas in the southern United States, is one source. Country music features simple themes and melodies describing day to day situations and the feelings of country people. Many people appreciate this music because of the emotions expressed by country music songs. A second origin of American popular music is the blues. It depicted mostly sad feelings reflecting the difficult lives of American blacks. It is usually played and sung by black musicians, but it is popular with all Americans. Rock music is a newer form of music. This music style, featuring fast and repetitious rhythms, was influenced by the blues and country music. It was first known as rock-and-roll in the 1950's. Since then there have been many forms of rock music, hard rock, soft rock, punk rock, disco music and others. Many performers of popular rock music are young musicians. American popular music is marketed to a demanding audience. New popular songs are heard on the radio several times a day. Some songs become popular all over the world. People hear these songs sung in their original English or sometimes translated to other languages. The words may differ but the enjoyment of the music is universal.
