一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學(xué)習(xí)怎么樣簡化用來修飾名詞的從句, 比方 "唱歌的人" the man who is singing 可以簡化為 the man singing; "他唱的歌" the song which was sung by him 可以簡化為 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話, 內(nèi)容是說亨利跟小女兒琳達談起了聽流行歌曲的事情. 請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)在我們再把整段對話聽一遍. 請你特別注意聽.

二.簡化用來修飾名詞的從句
聽到這兒,我想你對怎么簡化從句已經(jīng)有點兒概念. 現(xiàn)在我請英文老師再念一些句子進一步作比較.首先男老師念兩個句子,比方:The man asks Linda to turn down the record player. He is Henry. 女老師就把兩個句子合并成一句:The man who asks Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 然后女老師再用動詞加上 i-n-g 把從句加以簡化,所以整個句子就變成: The man asking Linda to turn down the record player is Henry. 老師念句子的時候請你注意聽.
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.

M: The man is singing. He won many awards.
F: The man who is singing won many awards.

下面我再請老師念一些句子給你聽, 看看怎么簡化被動語態(tài)從句. 首先男老師念兩個句子,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. 后女老師再用動詞過去分詞把從句簡化. 所以句子就變成: Linda is listening to the record bought recently. 老師念句子的時候請你注意聽.
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.

下面我們看看怎么樣簡化否定的從句. 比方有一句話: " 不了解美國文化的人能夠欣賞美國歌曲. " People who don't understand American culture can appreciate American songs. 這句話可以簡化為: 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, 聽不懂歌詞的外國人都喜歡.
