(四)语法精讲
The–ingFormasAttributeandAdverbial
(-ing形式做定语和状语)
动词v-ing是非谓语动词的一种形式,在句中除可作主语、宾语、表语和宾语补足语外,还可作定语和状语。
1、定语:
(1)V-ing形式作定语时,如果是短语要放在它所修饰的名词后;如果是单个词,一般置其前(修饰代词时,置其后)。
例1:Themanstandingatthewindowisourteacher.
站在窗户旁的那个人是我们的老师。
例2:TherewasanexcitingfootballmatchonTVyesterday.
昨天电视播放了一场激动人心的足球赛。
例3:Thosesingingaresixstudentsofhim.
那些正唱歌的是他的六个学生。
(2)v-ing形式作定语时,可表达两种含义:
1)表示“供……之用”,相当于usedfordoing.如:writingdesk(=deskusedforwriting)写字台sleepingbag(=bagusedforsleeping)睡袋
2)表示“……的”意思,即表示被修饰的名词所具有的性质特征。可用定语从句来代替.如:asleepingboy(=aboywhoissleeping)一个睡着的孩子;amovingstory(=astorywhichismoving)一个动人的故事。
2、状语:
Arrivingattheschool(=Whenhearrivedattheschool),Ifoundmyclassmatesalreadyintheirplaces,readytobegintheclass.我到学校时,发现我的同学们都已坐在座位上,准备上课了。
2)原因状语
Beingveryuseful(=Becausetheyareveryuseful),computersareusedeverywhere.由于很有用,电脑被到处使用。
3)条件状语
Turningtotheleft(=Ifyouturntotheleft),youwillfindtheshop.向左拐,你就会发现那家商店。
4)让步状语
Thoughbeingtired(=Thoughtheyweretired),theywerestillinhighspirits.虽然累,但是他们情绪高昂。
(2)作方式,伴随和结果状语时,相当于并列句。如:
5)方式状语
Wearesittingbythewindow,talkingaboutwhathappenedyesterday(=andwearetalkingaboutwhathappenedyesterday).我们坐在窗户边,谈论着昨天发生的事。
6)伴随状语
Acrowdofchildrenranoutoftheclassroom,laughingandtalkinghappily(=andthaywerelaughingandtalkinghappily).一群小孩有说有笑地从教室里跑出来。
7)结果状语
Hisparentsdied,leavinghimalotofmoney(=andlefthimalotofmoney).他父母都死了,给他留下很多钱。
(3)如果v-ing表示的动作发生在谓语动词动作之前,应用其完成式“having+过去分词’。如:
Havingdrunktwoglassesofwater,Jackfeltabitbetter.
喝了两杯水,杰克感觉好一点。
(4)如果v-ing与主语之间存在着逻辑上的动宾关系,应用其被动式“having+been+过去分词”。如:
Havingbeengivensuchagoodchance,hewouldn’tgiveituptoothers.人家给了他这么好的机会,他不会给别人的。
(5)v-ing的否定式为“not+V-ing”.如:
(6)v-ing作状语,无论主动式还是被动式,其逻辑主语和句子的主语应保持一致。如:
走进屋子,他碰地关上了门。
(正)Enteringthehouse,heclosedthedoorwithabang.(=Whenheenteredthehouse,thedoorclosedwithabang.)
(误)Enteringthehouse,thedoorclosedwithabang.
(7)v-ing作状语时,分词和主语之间不能用连词or,and,but,so等,但可以用逗号。如:
已被告诉过多次,可是他仍然不理解。
(正)Havingbeentoldmanytimes,hestillcouldn’tunderstandit.(=hehadbeentoldmanytimes,buthestillcouldn’tunderstandit).
(误)Havingbeentoldmanytimes,buthestillcouldn’tunderstandit.
(8)judgingfrom(根据……来判断);generallyspeaking(一般来说);considering(考虑到)等短语常用作插入语,其逻辑主语可以和句子的主语不一致。如:
Judgingfromhisaccent,hemustbefromthesouth.
根据他的口音来判断,他一定来自南方。
Generallyspeaking,womenlivelongerthanmen.
一般来说,女人比男人长寿。
Theboydidquitewell,consideringthecircumstances.
考虑到具体情况,可以说那孩子干得很不错了。
(五)交际用语
Thanks(感谢)
1、Manythanks.\Thanksalot\Thankyouverymuch.

(二)美语中的非正式用语
英语就像每一种语言一样是一直在变。新的俚语不断地出现,常常今天还在使用的,明天就被淘汰了。例如,在一九六O年代你若要形容一件很兴奋的事,你会说很「groovy」美好的,或是「farout」走在时代尖端的。而今天会形容为「cool」很酷,甚至「bad」好菜喔。从青少年、军人、小偷、到少数民族,美国社会中每一种附属团体都有自己的俚语。即使它们确实是英语,但是不属于那个团体的人就不会明白它的意思。因此局外人要正确地使用俚语实在不容易。
美国人喜欢把事物简化,甚至连他们的发音也很轻松自在,不是重音的发音或是音节,通常会被缩短或是和其它的音相连。因此,「Whatdoyouwanttodo」就变成了「Whaddayawannado」而「Idon'tknow.」听起来像「Idunno.」看看你能不能听懂以下的对话:
吉妮:Jeetyet
提姆:No,ju
吉妮:Skoeet!
现在,我们来把它翻译成一般的英文:
吉妮:Didyoueatyet(你吃过了没?)
提姆:No,didyou(还没有,你呢?)
吉妮:Let'sgoeat!(一块儿去吃吧!)
学校的老师们对这样的发音恐怕是不敢恭维。不过事实上,通常美国人在实际的生活中都是这么说话的。
然而有一种非正式的语言是你应当避免使用的。在美国咒诅骂人的话是会得罪人的。有时候人们会说「四字经」来表达愤怒和痛楚。很多这类咒诅的字眼是取自圣经,但是被人误用的。例如,「Damn」该死!指的是诅咒人在地狱里受永远的刑罚,所以「Damn」和「Hell」都是很强烈的诅咒。而毫不尊重地妄用上帝或耶稣的名字也会使人很不舒服。还有一件事:绝对不要讲「脏话」--对性或是人体低俗的描述。没错,确实有人是那么说话的,不过这种属于阴沟的「脏话」就让它归于阴沟吧。
美国人非常喜爱非正式、轻松的感觉。不论是藉由穿牛仔裤、T恤还是使用通俗的语言,他们都喜欢让自己轻松自在。所以如果你想说真正的美式英语,尽量随意就是了,尤其是你的英文老师没看着你的时候。

名词性从句的用法
一、名词性从句包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
1.Whenhewillcomeisstillunknown.(主语从句)
2.Idon’tknowwhohaswateredthefields.(宾语从句)
3.Theproblemisthatweneedmoremoney.(表语从句)
4.Haveyouheardthenewsthatourteamwonthegame(同位语从句)
二、名词性从句常见错误。
1)误用引导词
例如:医生正在设法减轻病人担心会死于这种疾病的恐惧。
误:Thedoctorsaretryingtoreducethepatient’sfearwhichhewoulddieofthedisease.
正:Thedoctorsaretryingtoreducethepatient’sfearthathewoulddieofthedisease.
析:由于which在此从句中不担任成分,说明从句不是定语从句而是同位语从句。同位语从句不能用which引导,应用that。
2)缺少或多用引导词
例如:他什么也没说并不意味着他同意我们的意见。
误:Hedidn’tsayanythingdidn’tmeanthatheagreedwithus.
正:Thathedidn’tsayanythingdidn’tmeanthatheagreedwithus.
析:that引导名词性从句时,尽管无意义也不担任成分,但除了在动词后引导宾语从句时可以省略外,其它情况一般不省略。
3)主谓不一致
例如:她何时何地与他见面还没有定。
误:Whenandwhereshewillmeethimarenotdecided.
正:Whenandwhereshewillmeethimisnotdecided.
析:一般情况下主语从句跟单数谓语动词。但当由what引导的主语从句内容的所指是复数名词时,谓语动词用复数。如:
Whatthechildrenneedaremoregoodbooks.
孩子们需要的是更多的书。
4)从句误用疑问语序
例如:他问我那辆自行车我付了多少钱。
误:HeaskedmehowmuchhadIpaidforthebike.
正:HeaskedmehowmuchIhadpaidforthebike.
析:名词性从句都用陈述句语序,即“引导词+主语+谓语”。
5)否定未转移
例如:我相信他们还未完成工作。
误:Ibelievethattheyhavenotfinishedtheirworkyet.
正:Idon’tbelievethattheyhavefinishedtheirworkyet.
析:当主句主语为第一人称时,动词为think,believe,suppose,guess等时,其后的宾语从句如为否定式,否定词not应否定主句的谓语。
6)缺少形式主语或形式宾语
例如:约翰昨天没有来,我觉得很奇怪。
误:IfeelstrangethatJohndidn’tcomeyesterday.
正:IfeelitstrangethatJohndidn’tcomeyesterday.
析:当宾语从句前有形容词或名词作宾补时,必用it作形式宾语,而将真正的宾语从句后置。又如:
IfounditquitepleasantthatIworkedwithhim.
我发现和他工作很愉快。

(一)美式友谊
史帝夫和亚瑟最初是在一所美国大学的化学课上认识的。亚瑟是从约旦来的国际学生。他很兴奋能够认识美国人,他要更多学习美国文化;亚瑟希望他和史帝夫会成为好朋友。
亚瑟有点困惑了,对于美国文化,他是个局外人(外行)。他不了解美国人对友谊的看法。美国人把「朋友」这个字用得非常广泛,一般的泛泛之交和亲密伙伴都算是朋友。美国人的朋友包含有学校的朋友、工作的朋友、运动的朋友或是街坊邻居。这些友谊都是建立在共同的兴趣上,当共同从事的活动结束时,友谊也可能跟着消失了。现在,史帝夫和亚瑟不再是同学,他们的「友谊」也就改变了。
在一些文化里,友谊意即两人之间一种强烈的,一世之久的情感。在这些文化里,友谊发展得慢,因为要持久。但美国是个急速变化的社会,有些研究发现每年每五个美国家庭之中,就有一个家庭搬家。美国人的友谊建立得快,但也可能改变得快。
从美国来的人可能刚开始看起来很亲切。美国人常能很容易地和陌生人聊天,他们交换关于自己的家庭、兴趣和工作的个人资料,他们可能热情地微笑说「祝你有愉快的一天」或是「待会儿见」,而同学也许会说「我们找一天聚聚」,但是美国人的友善并不意谓真正的友谊。

(一)挪威人和自然
挪威首都奥斯陆人口不足五十万,它的城市文化给人们带了强烈的凝聚力,人们有了一种与自然和谐相处的责任感。这种凝聚力源自他们的历史,并且得到了发扬和光大。
挪威人与自然的亲密关系造就了挪威人的单纯和不羁。他们对人体艺术大胆而由衷的追求,使他们与自然景观融为了一体。
市政厅广场前,AkerBrygge码头俯瞰着海湾。如今,它已经变成了步行街、购物中心和娱乐区。但最引人注目的仍然是峡湾中的声声海浪和沐浴在日光下的片片轻舟。
挪威的内陆地形崎岖,近三分之一被树木覆盖。尽管纬度很高,挪威的海洋气候却是十分湿润,它受来自墨西哥湾的暖洋流影响,沿海终年不结冰。
卑尔根,挪威东南港城,布满了许多颜色鲜艳的小房子,它们属于汉萨联盟的德国商人们。数次大火之后,卑尔根仍然保持了中世纪港口和商业中心的原来面貌。联合国教科文组织把它列入了世界文化遗产名录予以保护。
卑尔根市中心有一个大公园。整个公园几乎被一个八角湖所覆盖,它周围聚集了市内主要的博物馆。
市内最美丽的遗迹Hakonshallen位于卑尔根堡的城墙之内,这座13世纪的哥特式建筑,原是在卑尔根掌控北海海上贸易的时期为聚会和接待客人而修建的。
在观景台上能看到卑尔根、海湾及周围葱葱群山最好的风光。在这儿,我们将由衷的对挪威人尊崇自然的独特方式而感叹。

(二)美国人的开车习惯
在美国开车是一种生活方式。
美国不是没有大众运输工具,很多都市都有出租车、公车和地下铁帮助通车族上下班。有些规模大的大学甚至有公车在校园里载送学生到各个教室上课。不过大部份的人还是觉得开车更方便,即使他们得面对交通拥挤的问题。现今忙碌的家庭通常拥有一辆以上的车。很多人把车子视为地位的象征,但是不管他们的社会地位如何,没有车的人往往觉得很受束缚。.大家都需要学习一些好的驾驶人应该遵守的基本道路规则。
下面是在美国优良驾驶的十大诫命:
1.礼让有先行权的车子。
2.不超车。
3.行车不超速。
4.遵守所有的路标和交通警察的指挥。
5.听到警笛声时,立即靠边停车。
6.遇到红灯和停止标志时要完全停下来。
7.在行人穿越道上要礼让行人。
8.只能在指定的停车地区内停车。
9.转弯或换车道时要打方向灯。
10.不要酒后驾车。
开车对美国人的必要性,就像鸟儿需要飞翔一样,几乎就是他们天性的一部份。对许多美国人而言,「坐在方向盘后面」就像是他们自然栖息之处。不过,如果他们不小心开车的话,他们可就会变成濒临危险的动物了。
