第二篇:走遍美國(guó)第一課act1
Richard: Excuse me.My name is Richard Stewart.I'm a photographer.May I take a picture of you and your little boy?
Mrs.Vann: What's it for?
Richard: It's for a book.Mrs.Vann: You're writing a book?
Richard: It's a book of pictures.I call it Family Album, U.S.A.Mrs.Vann: Oh, that's a nice idea.Well, it's fine if you take our picture.I'm Martha Vann.Richard: Thank you.I appreciate your help.I'm Richard.What's your name? Gerald: Gerald.Richard: How old are you, Gerald?
Gerald: Five.Richard: And where do you live?
Mrs.Vann: We live in California.Richard: Well, welcome to New York.OK, just a second.I'm almost ready here.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】
1.Excuse me.My name is Richard Stewart.I'm a photographer.這是Richard在與陌生人搭訕并介紹自己。
Excuse me 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)用來(lái)引起對(duì)方的注意。相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“對(duì)不起,勞駕”。
自我介紹時(shí)可以先介紹自己的名字,再說(shuō)明自己的職業(yè)。
介紹自己的名字時(shí),可以像Richard一樣,說(shuō)My name is Richard Stewart.也可以像Mrs.Vann那樣,說(shuō)I'm Martha Vann.2.May I take a picture of you and your little boy?
May I...是一種很禮貌的征求別人的同意的說(shuō)法,相當(dāng)于“我可以...嗎?”。
Richard 想要為Mrs.Vann 母子拍照片,他首先要征得當(dāng)事人的同意,否則鬧出肖像權(quán)的問(wèn)題可不是好玩滴~~
3.I appreciate your help.這是在受別人幫助或聽(tīng)了別人的忠告之后的感謝語(yǔ)。在Richard向Mrs.Vann說(shuō)明了照片的用途后,Mrs.Vann欣然接受拍照的請(qǐng)求,之后Richard立即向?qū)Ψ奖磉_(dá)了感謝。這里也可以說(shuō)I really appreciate it.4.Welcome to New York.Welcome to… 是迎接客人的客套語(yǔ)。Richard與Mrs.Vann母子攀談幾句后得知母子二人來(lái)自于California,于是Richard對(duì)他們說(shuō),歡迎到紐約來(lái)。
又例如:Welcome to HJ English
Richard: OK, Just a second.I'm almost ready here.Alexadra: Can I help you?
Richard: Oh, please.Hold Gerald's hand, please.Great!Now point to the buildings.Terrific!Give Mommy a kiss, Gerald.Nice!Thank you, Gerald.And thank you, Mrs Vann.Mrs.Vann: Oh, my pleasure.We'll be looking for your book.Richard: Thank you.Good-bye.Bye, Gerald.Thanks again.Alexandra: Oh, you're welcome.Richard: Hey, let me take your picture!
Alexandra: Wonderful.Please.Richard: Are you from New York?
Alexandra: No, I'm from Greece.I'm an exchange student.Richard: When did you come here?
Alexandra: Three months ago.Richard: Your English is very good.Alexandra: Thanks.I studied English in school.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】
1.Can I help you?
在為別人提供幫助前,我們可以說(shuō)Can I help you?
也可以說(shuō)Let me...(讓我,允許我),如本文中,Richard對(duì)Alexandra說(shuō)“Hey, let me take your picture!” 但是這種說(shuō)法沒(méi)有Can I...的禮貌程度高。
如果我們?cè)敢饨邮軒椭瑒t可以回答“Oh, please.” 或者“Yes, please.”。也可以像Alexandra那樣很可愛(ài)的講“Wonderful.Please.”
2.Great!/ Terrific!/ Nice!
在拍照的過(guò)程中,Mrs.Vann母子每在他的要求下擺一個(gè)新的姿勢(shì),Richard都會(huì)對(duì)他們的配合給予肯定。他用到的“Great!Terrific!Nice!” 都是用來(lái)表示“太好了,好極了,很好”的意思。
3.We'll be looking for your book.這里的look for是尋找的意思。
4.My pleasure./ You're welcome.當(dāng)別人對(duì)你表示感謝時(shí),可以用“My pleasure.”或者“You're welcome.”來(lái)進(jìn)行回應(yīng)。Richard: Your English is very good.Alexandra: Thanks.I studied English in school.Richard: Would you like some coffee?
Alexandra: No, thank you.Tell me about your book.Richard: Oh, it's not finished yet, but I have some of the pictures.Would you like to see them?
Alexandra: Yes, I'd like that.Richard: Here they are.Family Album, U.S.A..It's an album of pictures of the United States: the cities, the special places, and the people.And these are pictures of people working: steel workers, bankers, police, street vendors, ambulance drivers, doctors...Oh, this is my father.He's a doctor.This is my mother.Alexandra: What's her name?
Richard: Ellen.My younger brother, Robbie.He goes to high school.This is my
sister Susan.She works for a toy company.Here's my grandfather.He lives in Florida.And this is my wife Marilyn.Alexandra: Oh, she's very pretty.Richard: Thanks.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】
1.Would you like some coffee?
Would you like...相當(dāng)于“你想要...嗎?”,在客氣地請(qǐng)對(duì)方做某事或請(qǐng)客時(shí)用。
如本文中,Richard問(wèn)Alexandra“想來(lái)一點(diǎn)咖啡嗎”,他說(shuō) “Would you like some coffee?”
在談到自己的書(shū)Family Album, U.S.A.時(shí),他問(wèn)對(duì)方“想要看一看嗎”,“Would you like to see them?”
如果我們不想接受,就說(shuō)“No, thank you.”
如果愿意接受,則說(shuō)“Yes.I'd like that.” 或者“Yes.Please.”
2.Here they are.把東西給別人看時(shí)用。單數(shù)時(shí)用 Here it is.3.Thanks.在本情境中出現(xiàn)的兩次“Thanks”都是對(duì)于別人贊美的回應(yīng)。
稱(chēng)贊對(duì)方,或?qū)Ψ降募胰?,是美?guó)人很重要的一種社交習(xí)慣,被人稱(chēng)贊時(shí),要表示樂(lè)于接受并愉快地感謝,不要急于否認(rèn)或自貶,也不要表現(xiàn)得扭捏不安。所以無(wú)論是人家說(shuō)你的英語(yǔ)好--“Your English is very good.”,還是稱(chēng)贊你的夫人很漂亮--“Oh, she's very pretty.”,都不必不好意思,只要說(shuō)聲 “Thank you” 就可以了。
ACT 1-4 “ 很高興認(rèn)識(shí)你。”
Richard: And what about your family?
Alexandra: They're in Thessaloniki.That's a large city in northern Greece.But now I'm living in the Bronx.Richard: With a Greek-American family?
Alexandra: No.Hispanic.Richard: Oh no!It's five thirty.Will you excuse me? I have to meet my wife.Alexandra: It was nice meeting you.Richard: It was a pleasure meeting you, too.Thanks for your help.And good luck!I've got to go.By the way.I'm Richard.What's your name?
Alexandra: Alexandra.Richard: Bye-bye, Alexandra.Thanks.Alexandra: Bye-bye.Richard!Richard!You left your bag.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】
1.And what about your family?
What about…在這里用以詢(xún)問(wèn)別人的情況,相當(dāng)于Tell me about…
2.the Bronx
是紐約市的五個(gè)行政區(qū)之一。另外的四個(gè)如下:
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island
3.Hispanic
意思是西班牙語(yǔ)系的,西班牙的。Alexandra和一個(gè)講西班牙語(yǔ)的家庭一起生活。
4.It was nice meeting you./ It was a pleasure meeting you.很高興認(rèn)識(shí)你。與新朋友第一次見(jiàn)面時(shí)可用此用語(yǔ)告別。
5.I've got to go.這句表達(dá)的意思是“我必須得走了”,與 I must go, I must be off之類(lèi)的告別語(yǔ)同義。
6.By the way…
此短語(yǔ)在轉(zhuǎn)換話(huà)題或者作補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明時(shí)用,相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)中的“順便說(shuō)一下……”。
