本課您將學(xué)到:on the one hand…, on the other hand…句型及big, large, great, giant(沒(méi)有大,只有更大)
美國(guó)人生活很富裕,然而這樣的生活也有煩惱。吃還是不吃?就是一直困擾他們的問(wèn)題之一。
Picture this: Two very fat men enter an ice cream shop. They sit down and order two giant sundaes(圣代). After enjoying their rich desserts(點(diǎn)心), they go to a health club and have a good workout(訓(xùn)練). They're trying to work off(發(fā)泄) all those calories(卡路里) they ate. Who would be so silly(愚蠢)? Some Americans would.
When it comes to health and fitness, Americans have mixed(混亂的) emotions(感情). On the one hand, they are concerned about their health. On the other, they have some very unhealthy habits(習(xí)慣).
「讀書筆記」
Picture是圖畫,除了指現(xiàn)實(shí)中的圖像,也可以指頭腦中的畫面、想法,比如有人對(duì)你說(shuō)了一段話之后問(wèn)Did you get the picture?意思就是“你明白了嗎?”當(dāng)picture做動(dòng)詞時(shí),就有要你在頭腦中描繪picture的意思,也就是“去想象一下吧”,Picture this.
兩個(gè)大胖子進(jìn)入一家冰淇淋店,(Two very fat men enter an ice cream shop)他們坐下來(lái)點(diǎn)了兩客大圣代。(They sit down and order two giant sundaes.)吃完高熱量的甜點(diǎn)后,(After enjoying their rich desserts)再去一家健身俱樂(lè)部好好地運(yùn)動(dòng)一番,(they go to a health club and have a good workout)想把吃進(jìn)去的熱量消耗掉。(They're trying to work off all those calories they ate)誰(shuí)會(huì)這么傻呢?(Who would be so silly?)有些美國(guó)人就是這么傻。(Some Americans would)
這段中的rich可不再是“富有”的意思,而是“富含”,Oranges are rich in vitamin C.(桔子富含維他命C.)
談到健康與健美,(When it comes to health and fitness,)美國(guó)人有矛盾的情結(jié),(Americans have mixed emotions)他們一方面關(guān)心自己的健康,(On the one hand, they are concerned about their health)另一方面又有一些很不健康的習(xí)慣。(On the other, they have some very unhealthy habits.)
「句型留言板」
應(yīng)用今天的句型,可以幫助你把文章寫得更有條理,它就是on the one hand…, on the other hand…一方面……,另一方面……
如果你有兩種截然不同的甚至是相反的想法需要表達(dá),比如既想去參加Party又想在家學(xué)習(xí),就可以說(shuō)這樣一句話:
On the one hand, I want to go to the party, but on the other hand I ought to be studying.
一個(gè)想要辦理出國(guó)的人看到這樣的現(xiàn)狀,十分困惑不解,
On the one hand, a lot of people going to the US, but on the other hand, a lot of people coming back from there.
一方面,許多人前往美國(guó);另一方面,很多人又從那回來(lái)。
看來(lái),出國(guó)不出國(guó)并不重要,重要的是找到適合自己的生活方式。你說(shuō)對(duì)嗎?
「語(yǔ)法小教室」
今天的語(yǔ)法知識(shí),我們來(lái)講講表示“大”的幾個(gè)形容詞。
普通也是常用的就是big,可以指外形大小,(That shirt is too big for me.)也可以指長(zhǎng)度、寬度。(How big are you round the waist?)large和big意思差不多,不過(guò)稍微正式些。
Great不只是大,還有“壯觀”“重要”的意思,尤其是當(dāng)我們描述某些抽象的事物,要用great表示大的意思。比如:She showed great courage.(它表現(xiàn)出了極大的勇氣。)
Giant則是“巨大”,表示比同類事物大得多。有個(gè)皮鞋廠把自己做廣告的鞋做成了轎車那么大,這就可以說(shuō)是a giant sized shoe(一只巨型的鞋)。
在城郊有一個(gè)很大的超市,面積相當(dāng)于兩個(gè)足球場(chǎng),要形容它的大,就可以說(shuō)There's a giant supermarket just outside the town.
好了,今天的基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)輕松學(xué)就到這里,我們學(xué)了on the one hand…, on the other hand…句型及big, large, great, giant的區(qū)別,你都記住了嗎?
Hope to see you again. Bye!
