【新概念英语二】第22课:英国人讲的是英语吗?

如题所述

【课文】 First listen and then answer the question. 听录音,然后回答以下问题。 Why does the writer not understand the porter? I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English? 【课文翻译】 我终于到了伦敦。火车站很大,又黑又暗。我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走,于是向一个搬运工打听。我的英语讲得不但非常认真,而且咬字也非常清楚。然而搬运工却不明白我的话。我把问话重复了很多遍。他终于听懂了。他回答了,但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。“我是个外国人,”我说。于是他说得慢了,可我还是听不懂。我的老师从来不那样讲英语!我和搬运工相视一笑。接着,他说了点什么,这回我听懂了。“您会很快学会英语的!”他说。我感到奇怪。在英国,人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人之间相互听得懂,可我却不懂他们的话!他们说的是英语吗? 【生词和短语】 railway n. 铁路 porter n. 搬运工 foreigner n. 外国人 wonder v. 感到奇怪 【知识点讲解】 1 arrive in:到达,同义词:arrive at,reach,get arrive是不及物动词,因此后面一定要加介词使用。arrive in是指到达了大的地方,而arrive at则是指到达小地方。get to+宾语:到达 When will you arrive? When will you reach(arrive in) Beijing? When will you get to Beijing? How can I get there? get home:到家,get there:到那 home/there都是副词,副词跟动词连用的时候不需要加介词 2 the way to:通往...路 Can you tell me the way to the school? 你能告诉我去学校的路怎么走吗? 相关短语:give way 撤退,让路,屈服 by way of 经过,用……方法 The enemy troops had to give way. 敌军不得不撤退。 After months of prospecting he finally struck gold. 经过数月的勘探,他终于发现了金矿。 3 not only...but...as well:不但...而且... 这是一个并列连词,表示什么东西并列连接什么 I can speak Chinese. I can speak English.组合到一句话即为:I can speak not only Chinese but English as well. 类似的句子如:I not only sing but dance as well. 一般来说,not only 喜欢放在动词的前面。遇到实义动词和非实义动词的时候则习惯放在二者之间。I can speak not only Chinese but English as well. 4 neither...nor... 即不...也不...neither单独使用时词性很灵活,可以做代词,表示两者都不;做形容词表示两者都不的;做副词表示也不;做连词时表示既不,也不的意思。 I speak neither Janpanese nor English. 我既不会说英语,也不会说日语。 Neither of my sisters drinks coffee. 我的两个姐妹都不喝咖啡。 【上期作业回顾】 翻译以下三个句子。 1. 公司不喜欢经常抱怨的员工。 →The company do not like employees who often complain of. 2. 进门之前请先敲门。 →Please knock at the door before coming in. 3. 在国外的这几年,每逢春节都特别想念家里人。 →I miss my family very much during the Spring Festival in these years outside. 【课后作业】 翻译以下三个句子。 1我既不爱逛街,也不爱玩电脑游戏。 2 不但是我喜欢这部电影,我的妈妈也很爱看它。 3 为了飞机能准时到达机场,大家都奋力工作。
