【Text】
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. "I can't hear a word!" I said angrily.
"It's none of your business," the young man said rudely. "This is a private conversation!"
參考譯文:
上星期我去看戲. 我的座位很好, 戲很有意思, 但我卻無法欣賞. 一青年男子與一青年女子坐在我的身後, 大聲地說著話. 我非常生氣, 因為我聽不見演員在說什麽. 我回過頭去怒視著那一男一女, 他們卻毫不理會. 最後, 我忍不住了, 又一次回過頭去, 生氣地說 : “我一個字也聽不見了!”
“不關你的事, “那男的毫不客氣地說, “這是私人間的談話!”
【課文講解】
1、Last week I went to the theatre.
動詞go的原義是離開一個地方去另一個地方,與介詞to連用後,常加上主語所要去的目的來代表主語的動作目的。
go to the +地點 表示去某地幹嘛
go to the theatre = go to the theatre to see a play去劇場看戲
go to the cinema =see a film 去電影院看電影
go to the dairy 去牛奶店
go to the + 人 + 's 表示去這個人開的店
go to the doctor's 去看病;go to the butcher's 買肉
以下短語中名詞前不加冠詞:
go to school 去上學;go to church 去做禮拜;go to hospital(醫院) 去看病;go to bed 上床,睡覺;go home(跟home相連一定表示沒有事情可做,回家休息)
I am at home. 在家休息
2、I had a very good seat.
seat一般指戲院、汽車等配置的固定座位,也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”等概念。
the front seat of a car 汽車的前座
Take a seat, please. 請坐。
3、I did not enjoy it.
enjoy vt. 欣賞,享受,喜愛
① enjoy +n. 喜歡,從當中得到一種享受(後麵不能跟人)
I enjoy the music.
enjoy the dinner/film/program/game
② enjoy oneself/代詞 玩的開心
We always enjoy ourselves.
③ enjoy +動名詞
Jane doesn’t enjoy swimming. She enjoys going to the theatre.
4、I got very angry.
get在這裏有“逐漸變得”的含義,接近become,是個表示過程的動詞,表示狀態的變化。而I was very angry則僅表示當時的狀態是生氣,並不暗示過程。
I am/was angry. 是一個事實
I got angry. 強調變化過程
It is hot.
It got hot.
got取代be動詞,got是一個半聯係動詞,可以直接加形容詞。
5、I could not hear the actors. I turned round.
hear+人:聽見某人的話
I could not hear you. Beg your pardon?
I couldn't hear you./I couldn't hear a word./I couldn't catch your words.
I couldn't hear you clearly./I couldn't catch your words.
Beg your pardon? /I couldn't catch your words.
turn round =turn around 轉身
6、In the end, I could not bear it.
in the end 最後,終於,表示一段較長的時間之後或某種努力之後
She tried hard to finish her homework by herself. In the end, she had to ask her brother for help.
I could not bear it/you/the noise.
7、I can't hear a word!
I can't hear a word.
美音:肯定I can [kAn] 否定,I can't[kAnt],它的/t/是吞進去的, 在讀音上很難區別, 隻能根據上下文來定
hear a word of sb. (a word 等於一句話)
He didn't say a word.
May I speak to Jim?/May I have a word with Jim?
8、It's none of your business.
one’s business 指某人(所關心的或份內)的事
It's none of your business./None of your business./It's my business. 不關你的事。
It is my business to look after your health. 我必須照顧你的身體健康。
none相當於not any或no one,但語氣較強。
She kept none of his letters. 他的信件她一封也沒有保留。
none of 這個短語有時可以表達一種斷然、甚至粗暴的口氣,尤其是在祈使句中:
None of your silly remarks! 別說傻話了!
