I'm trying to learn a little more. I don't always understand what people say, and they don't always understand me. A: What're you learning about? B: Well. For instance, some words in a sentence. The time between two of these stressed words is always about the same, no matter how many words there are. This is what makes English sound jerky. First you go very fast, and then perhaps you slow up. A: Hmmmm. I never noticed that. Give me an example. B: Sure, Here's a sentence we memorized for class. “You told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time.”It takes just as long to say“not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time”as it does to say“you told me last night” Notes Accented-stressed Jerky 不規(guī)則地跳動(dòng) A：你好，哈里，你到哪兒去？ B：我回家去溫習(xí)英語課。 A：英語課？ B：是的，我想盡量多學(xué)一點(diǎn)。我總是聽不懂人家講的話，別人也聽不懂我講的話。 A：我在學(xué)習(xí)什么呢？ B：嗯，例如，在一句話中的有些詞是加重語氣的，讀音較重。不論一句中有多少加重的詞，其中兩個(gè)詞間隔的時(shí)間總是幾乎一樣的。這就使英語的音調(diào)顯得不平穩(wěn)。開始你說得很快，后來可能慢下來。 A：哦，我倒從來沒有注意到這點(diǎn)。給我舉個(gè)例子。 B：可以。這兒有一句我們在上課時(shí)應(yīng)記住的話：“You told me last night not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time.”在說“not to let you argue me out of getting you up on time”這段話的時(shí)間就和說“you told me last night”這句話一樣長。 2.“No”and“Not” “No”和"Not” A: Hi, Mary. How've things been? I haven't heard anything about your English investigation for weeks. What're you studying now? B: Now it's negative-“no”and“not”, to be specific. A: There's nothing particularily unusual about “no”and“not”, is there? B: Not a lot, really. The main thing seems to be that “not”is used with verbs, and “no”everywhere else. Notes How've things been? 情況如何？(問候用語) Investigations-research A：你好，瑪麗。你過得怎樣？我有好幾個(gè)星期沒聽到有關(guān)你研究英語的情況了。你正在學(xué)習(xí)什么？ B：現(xiàn)在正在學(xué)否定詞--“No”和“Not”。 A：對于“No”和“Not”沒有什么特別要注意的地方，是嗎？
B：的確沒有什么，看來主要點(diǎn)在于“Not”和動(dòng)詞連用，而在其他地方用“No”。 |
