第四十六课　以 tion 和 al 结尾的词汇

一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们学习以 t-i-o- n 结尾的名词. 比方 education, introduction, production 等等. 我们还要学习以 a-l 结尾的形容词, 比方 national, emotional, historical 等等.

首先我们还是听两位英文老师念一段对话,内容是说彼得和玛丽谈起了有一出 歌舞剧在纽约上演轰动一时的事情.请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.

F: Peter, listen to the lyrics of this song.

M: What's so special about this song?

F: It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now. Do you like it?

M: Not very much. It sounds too emotional to me.

F: That's why it is so popular. It was recorded by Barbara Martin. I've heard that when she sang this song on stage the opening night, she created quite a sensation.

M: I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.

F: Well then, you need an introduction. The school drama club is putting on a musical production. Why don't you take me?

M: I have a better idea. Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz.

现在我们再听老师把对话重念一遍

F: Peter, listen to the lyrics of this song.

M: What's so special about this song?

F: It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now. Do you like it?

M: Not very much. It sounds too emotional to me.

F: That's why it is so popular. It was recorded by Barbara Martin. I've heard that when she sang this song on stage the opening night, she created quite a sensation.

M: I'm afraid my association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.

F: Well then, you need an introduction. The school drama club is putting on a musical production. Why don't you take me?

M: I have a better idea. Let's go to a jazz concert and I'll give you an education in jazz.

现在我请老师把对话里包含了我们今天要学的字的句子再念一遍给你听.

F: It's from the musical that is so popular in New York right now.

M: It sounds too emotional to me.

F: She created quite a sensation.

M: My association with Broadway musicals is rather limited.

F: You need an introduction. The school drama club is putting on a musical production.

M: I'll give you an education in jazz.

二.以TION结尾的名词

第一组练习是比较动词跟以 t-i-o-n 结尾的名词. 这些名词都是由动词演变来 的. 比方 "打算" intend 变成 intention, "申请" apply 变成 application, "竞争" compete 变成 competition, "通知" inform 变成 information, "吸引" attract 变成 attraction 等等. 现在老师给你念一些句子, 比较这种动词和名词在用法上的 分别. 句子的内容主要说到我们刚才在对话里提到的那位歌舞剧红星早年是 怎么样到纽约戏剧中心百老汇演歌舞剧的. 请你注意听男老师念句子,并且跟 着女老师把句子重复一遍.

M: New York attracts a lot of people. Broadway musicals are one of its attractions.

F: New York attracts a lot of people. Broadway musicals are one of its attractions.

M: Barbara intended to go to New York. She told her parents about her intention.

F: Barbara intended to go to New York. She told her parents about her intention.

M: They described New York for her. Their description sounded very exciting.

F: They described New York for her. Their description sounded very exciting.

M: She applied for a singing role in a Broadway show. Her application was accepted.

F: She applied for a singing role in a Broadway show. Her application was accepted.

M: She competed with a lot of applicants for the role and won the competition.

F: She competed with a lot of applicants for the role and won the competition.

M: The company informed her of the good news. She was very happy to hear the information.

F: The company informed her of the good news. She was very happy to hear the information.

刚才那些句子说明芭芭拉怎么样在纽约百老汇的一出歌舞剧里找到了演唱的 机会. 我希望你都听懂了. 如果没有完全听懂, 不要紧, 现在我们再作一组练习 换一个方式把那些句子重复练习一遍. 练习的作法是老师根据刚才那些句子 提出问句, 接着老师念出一个词组, 学生就用词组来回答问题. 下面就是一个 例子:

M: What did Barbara tell her parents?

M: her intention to go to New York

F: She told her parents about her intention to go to New York.

请你跟学生一起作练习. 同时特别注意以t-i-o-n结尾的名词.

M: What is one of the attractions in New York?

M: Broadway musicals

F: Broadway musicals are one of the attractions in New York.

M: What did Barbara tell her parents?

M: her intention to go to New York

F: She told her parents about her intention to go to New York.

M: What sounded exciting?

M: the description of New York

F: The description of New York sounded exciting.

M: What was accepted?

M: Barbara's application for a job in a Broadway musical

F: Barbara's application for a job in a Broadway musical was accepted.

M: What did she win?

M: the competition for the job

F: She won the competition for the job.

M: What did the company tell her?

M: the information that she was hired

F: The company told her the information that she was hired.

三.以AL结尾的形容词

下面我们作一组练习, 学学以 a-l 结尾的形容词. 这些形容词都是从名词演变 来的. 比方 "感情" emotion 变成 "激动" emotional,"喜剧"comedy 变成 "滑稽" comical, "戏院" theater 变成"有戏剧性的"theatrical,"音乐" music 变成 "有音乐 才能" musical 等等. 不过 musical 这个字也可以当名词用, 意思就是"歌舞剧".

下面这组练习里的句子是说到芭芭拉在音乐和演戏方面的才华. 练
