一. 设问句
Has it ever happened to you?
这种事在你身上出现过吗?
Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket?你有没有把裤子塞进洗衣机,然后又想起裤子后兜里头有张大面额的纸币?
When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white?
当你把裤子抢救出来的时候,有没有发现那张纸币意见变得比白色还白呢?
1)第一个问号:欲擒故纵
代词it:后指
2)第二个问号:问题的具体内容
强烈代入感,阅读动能得到延续
3)第三个问号:问题的高潮
看似是结局,实则是开端。
4)目的:eye-catching
例一:1965年美国奥斯卡最佳影片The Sound of Music《音乐之声》中的一首著名歌曲
How do you solve a problem like Maria? 我们该拿玛利亚怎么办好呢?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? 我们该如何追逐白云?
How do you solve a problem like Maria? 我们该拿玛利亚怎么办好呢?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand? 我们该如何将海浪留在沙滩上?
How do you solve a problem like Maria? 我们该拿玛利亚怎么办好呢?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? 我们该如何将月光握紧手中?
分析:设问+排比+暗喻:cloud, wave, moonbeam
Answer a question with another question
例二:英国著名戏剧家、诗人William Shakespeare威廉莎士比亚的一首14行诗
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
thee=you的宾格
分析:
自问自答:Thou art more lovely and more temperate: 你可比那夏日更可爱温良。
Thou=you的主格形式
art=are.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
或许我可用夏日把你来比方?
但你比夏日更可爱也更温良。
夏风狂作常摧落五月的娇蕊,
夏季的期限也未免还不太长。
二. 情态动词need
1.基本面梳理
1) 同时具备实意动词和情态动词双重身份。
2)作为实意动词: 有变位,
第三人称单数needs,
过去式/过去分词needed,
现在分词needing.
用法:直接加名词—> sb. needs sth.,
加不定式to do—> sb. needs to do sth, 或者A needs B to do sth.;
3)作为情态动词: 无变位
用法:直接加动词原型—> sb. need do sth,
否定式sb. need not do sth.= sb. needn’t do sth.
sb. needn’t have done sth.本不需要做某事,
You needn’t have brought me a present. Your coming here is the best present.
你不必给我带礼物来啊(客套),你能来我就最开心了。
4) 课文里的原句:
People who live in Britain needn’t despair when they make mistakes like this.
当英国人犯这种错误的时候,他们不必感到绝望。
分析:
这句里的need就是情态用法中的否定式need not, 缩写形式needn’t,后面的despair是动词原形形式。可以替换成实意动词的用法:don’t need to despair,两者意思是一样的。
2. need的高端用法
概述:need单挑must, ought to, should, have to:这场没有硝烟,没有流血的词汇之战,need已经赢了。
分析:
1)need自带“温柔光环”
比较:You should do sth. VS I need you to do sth.
you should do sth.:更为“凶悍”、“彪悍”、“对方高高在上、自己被居高临下”;
I need you to do sth.:打上了一层“防撞贴条”,语气上软化
Put away your toys now. 对比I need you to put away your toys now.
I need you to tell me something, Steve, about last Friday night. Do you remember last Friday night, Steve?
I need you to come visit me 3 times a weeks, can you do that for me?
结论:
I need you to do sth.一定程度上解除了听者的戒备与抵触心理,比you should do sth.更容易获得对方的服从。
2)sth. needs to be done = sth. needs doing 里的暗藏心机
小A说:The trash needs to be taken out. 垃圾要带出去呀。
小B说: The dishes need to be washed. 餐盘要洗洗呀。
小C说: The room needs to be cleaned up. 屋子要打扫打扫呀。
小D君:……
分析:用sth. need to be done来“踢皮球”。
结论:不捅破做事人应该是谁,把话搁在那里,让听者自己拿捏呗。
3)need的崛起&祈使语气的没落
Do Not Smoke. 对比 I need you not to smoke.
Sit down. 对比 I need you to sit down.
Listen up. 对比 I need you to listen up.
结论:英语追求“迂回留有余地”、“显得彬彬有礼”、“不得罪人”的趋势,使得祈使句很少使用,导致替代品need to则高频出镜。
三、后置定语变轻巧
Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team(called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog.)
对英国人来说,值得庆幸的是英国银行有一个残钞鉴别组,负责处理那些把钱塞进机器或者塞给狗的人所提出的索赔要求。
分析:
a team called Mutilated Ladies
a boy called Tom
a girl called Susan
a city called Shanghai
a team(which is)可精简成分 called Mutilated Ladies
a teamwhich iscalled Mutilated Ladies which deals with…笨重
课后挑战:请用简略的方法表达下面的后置性定语
1)a boy who was riding a bike
2)a room which looks over a huge garden
3)a table which stands in the middle of the room
4)a dog which is running towards Tom
四. so long as和as long as的用法总结
课文原句:So long as there’s something to identify, we will give people their money back. 只要有东西可供识别,我们会把钱还给人家的。
1. 比较长度: as...as...和形容词long搭配,表示”跟什么一样长”,比如
My rope is as long as yours.
我的绳子跟你的一样长。
否定形式:My rope is not as long as yours. 我的绳子没你的长。
此时,可以换成so long as, 即= My rope is not so long as yours.
2. 条件状语从句家族的固定连接词组,意思是“只要”,表示一种底线要求,此时,as long as可以换成so long as,两者意思一样,so long as略微正式古雅一些,as long as偏日常口语一些。
Back Street Boys—>As Long As You Love Me 《只要你爱我》
莎士比亚Sonnet 18的最后两句里面:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
只要人眼能看,人口能呼吸,
我诗必长存,使你万世流芳。
3.引导原因状语:“既然”,相当于since:
As long as you're here, you may as well help me with the garden.
既然你在这儿,就帮我一起打理打理花园吧。
此时也不能替换成so long as.
结论:as long as 和 so long as 可以互换的场景只有2个
1)长度同级比较的否定式:not as long as = not so long as
2) 引导条件状语从“只要”: 基本含义一致,语气略有差异(正式/非正式)
课后挑战答案:
1)a boy riding a bike
2) a room looking over a huge garden
3) a table standing in the middle of the room
4) a dog running towards Tom
这个冬天,想落在你的星球,被你保留

老师,为什么fiance上面要加一个符号?
佐伊和佐伊 回复 @远方的过去_n4: 这是来自法兰西的外来词汇。尊重原语言的拼写,一般会保留法语里的“小帽子”
