第三十六课　动词不定式（二）

一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们学习动词加上宾语再加上动词不定式的用法, 比方 "用信用 卡买" use credit cards to buy. "准许你用" permit you to use 等等, 我们还要谈 一谈美国人怎么用信用卡代替现钱来买东西.

首先我们听一段对话,内容是说凯特跟亨利谈起了用信用卡的事情. 请你注意 两位英文老师的发音和语调.

F: I am happy I started carrying the credit card that the bank gave us.

M: Why is that, Kate? Did you use it to buy something?

F: I sure did. On the way home I stopped at the store to buy some beef for dinner. I forgot that I didn't have any cash with me.

M: And they permitted you to pay with the card?

F: Yes. They didn't even ask me to give them identification.

M: We have to be careful. If we lose them and someone finds them, the bank will charge us for what they buy.

F: How much has the bank authorized us to spend with the card?

M: Fifteen hundred dollars. The bank encourages us to use the card, but they will also require us to pay them back.

F: You are right, Henry. I'll remember that.But the card sure makes it easy to spend money.

现在我们听两位老师用慢速度再把整段对话再念一遍.

F: I am happy I started carrying the credit card that the bank gave us.

M: Why is that, Kate? Did you use it to buy something?

F: I sure did. On the way home I stopped at the store to buy some beef for dinner. I forgot that I didn't have any cash with me.

M: And they permitted you to pay with the card?

F: Yes. They didn't even ask me to give them identification.

M: We have to be careful. If we lose them and someone finds them, the bank will charge us for what they buy.

F: How much has the bank authorized us to spend with the card?

M: Fifteen hundred dollars. The bank encourages us to use the card, but they will also require us to pay them back.

F: You are right, Henry. I'll remember that.But the card sure makes it easy to spend money.

下面我把对话里包含了今天要学的语法的句子挑出来, 请英文老师再念一遍 给你听.

M: Did you use it to buy something?

M: And they permitted you to pay with the card?

F: They didn't ask me to give them identification.

F: How much has the bank authorized us to spend with the card?

M: The bank encourages us to use the card.

M: They will also require us to pay them back.

二.动词加宾语再加动词不定式

听了上面那些句子, 你可能觉得今天要学的语法并不难, 不过句子里有些词 汇, 比方 "准许" permit, "授权"authorize. "鼓励" encourage 等等你或许觉得有 点儿生疏. 现在我们作第一组练习, 一方面学习语法,一方面记词汇. 我请英文 老师根据刚才那段对话念一些句子. 这些句子都跟凯特用信用卡有关系. 比 方 "银行规定她必须有储蓄账户." The bank requires her to have a saving account. "银行可能要她付利息" The bank may ask her to pay interest.等等. 你 先注意听男老师念句子, 然后跟着女老师把句子重复一遍.

M: The bank allowed Kate to use a credit card.

F: The bank allowed Kate to use a credit card.

M: The bank permitted her to charge with it.

F: The bank permitted her to charge with it.

M: The bank authorized her to spend 15 hundred dollars with it.

F: The bank authorized her to spend 15 hundred dollars with it.

M: The bank requires her to have a saving account.

F: The bank requires her to have a saving account.

M: The bank encourages her to use it.

F: The bank encourages her to use it.

M: The bank will ask her to pay the money back.

F: The bank will ask her to pay the money back.

M: The bank may ask her to pay interest.

F: The bank may ask her to pay interest.

下面我们再作一组练习把语法和词汇重复练习一遍. 练习的作法是老师用疑 问词提出问句, 比方 What did the bank permit Kate to use? 接着老师念一个词 组, 比方 a credit card, 学生就用词组来回答问题, 所以答案就是 The bank permitted Kate to use a credit card. 现在我们开始作练习.在学生回答问题的时 候请你也一起回答.

M: What did the bank permit Kate to use?

M: a credit card

F: The bank permitted Kate to use a credit card.

M: What did the bank allow her to do with it?

M: charge with it

F: The bank allowed her to charge with it.

M: How much money did the bank authorize her to spend?

M: 15 hundred dollars

F: The bank authorized her to spend 15 hundred dollars.

M: What does the bank require her to have?

M: a saving account

F: The bank requires her to have a saving account.

M: What does the bank encourage her to do?

M: use the credit card

F: The bank encourages her to use the credit card.

M: What will the bank ask her to do?

M: pay the money back

F: The bank will ask her to pay the money back.

M: What may the bank ask her to pay?

M: interest

F: The bank may ask her to pay interest.

从刚才作的练习里我们可以知道, 在美国如果你在银行里有储蓄, 银行可能给 你信用卡代替现款用, 一段时间之后你才加上利息还清. 下面我们作一组代换 练习看看美国人常常用信用卡买什么东西, 比方买汽油, 买车票, 戏票, 付账等 等. 美国人也用信用卡邮购东西, 也就是 place mail orders, 或是"证明自己的 身份 "identify themselves. 现在我们开始作练习. 请你跟着老师把第一个句子 重复一遍, 然后把老师提出的词组代换到原来的句子里, 每作完一句就请你听 老师再把句子念一遍.

M: People use credit cards to buy a lot of things.

M: buy clothes

F: People use credit cards to buy clothes.

M: purchase gasoline

F: People use credit cards to purchase gasoline.

M: purchase tickets
