新概念英语第二册第三课讲解

Lesson 3 Please send me a card

请给我寄一张明信片

Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Everyday I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!

参考译文

明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。去年夏天，我去了意大利。我参观了博物馆，还去了公园。一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语，之后还借给我一本书。我读了几行，但一个字也不懂。我每天都想着明信片的事。假期过得真快，可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。到了最后一天，我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床，买来了37张明信片。我在房间里关了整整一天。然而竟连一张明信片也没写成！

?过去经常或反复发生的动作。常与yesterday, last year, in

?1965, a moment ago等表示过去的时间状语连用。

? e.g. I got up at five yesterday, but I didn’t get up so early

?this morning.

?Did he watch TV last night?

?I was in Grade One last year.

?构成：动词用过去式

?否定、疑问句的构成：

?若句中有be动词或情态动词，则在其后加not 或将其调至主语前。若句中只有行为动词，则要用助动词did来帮忙。

一般过去时的用法

(1)表示过去的动作或状态

e.g. 我见到他时他非常忙。

He was very busy when I saw him.

(2) 叙述过去连续发生的一件件事

e.g. 他早上起得很早，打水，扫院，然后出去劳动。

He got up early in the morning, fetched water, swept the yard and then went out to work.

(3) 表示过去一段时间内经常或反复发生的动作。

e.g. 我弟弟十几岁时，几乎每天都打乒乓球。

When my brother was a teenager, he played table tennis almost every day.

规则动词过去式的构成

1、一般情况下，加-ed。

ask -- asked help -- helped watch -- watched

2、结尾是“e”的词，加-d。

dance -- danced love -- loved live -- lived

3、重读闭音节词，且末尾只有一个辅音字母的，先双写

这个辅音字母，再加-ed。

stop -- stopped drop -- dropped beg -- begged

4、以辅音字母加y结尾的词，改y为i，再加-ed。

carry -- carried study -- studied hurry -- hurried

过去式加-ed 的读音

1、在清辅音后，读清辅音/ t / 。

worked / kt /helped / pt /passed / st /

washed/ w??t / watched/ t ?t /

2、在浊辅音和元音后，读浊辅音/ d / 。

played / eid /carried / id /answered / 'ɑ:ns? d /

lived / vd / used/ zd / called/ ld /

3、在/ t, d / 音后面, 读/ id / 。

wanted / tid /needed / did /

注：

1.开音节分两种,绝对开音节和相对开音节。

绝对开音节：以发音的元音字母结尾的音节。

相对开音节：以“辅音字母+1个元音字母+辅音字母+不发音e结尾”的音节( re除外) 。

〔在开音节中, 元音字母发他们在字母表中的音〕

2.闭音节：“辅音字母+1个元音字母+辅音字母”的音节( al等除外)

在闭音节中,元音字母发不同的音

a e i o u

例：sat let sit not nut

英语的重读闭音节

1.英语重读闭音节就是所谓的元音字母不是发它本身的字母音，重读闭音节就是指在一个音节中，以辅音音素结尾的而且是重读音节的音节(重读闭音节即两个辅音中间夹一个元音).

比如apple 划音节就应该是ap/ple 前面那个ap 是一个音节，以辅音因素p结尾就是闭音节.

重读闭音节三要素：

（1）. 必须是重读音节；

（2）. 最后只有一个辅音字母；

（3）. 元音字母发短元音。

改变时态时，重读闭音节需要双写末尾辅音字母.

如:sit---sitting

begin---beginning(重读在gin这个音节上，相当于把gin改成双写的) .

像travel这种重读不在vel的，可以为travelled，也可以是traveled.

举两个很经典的例子：

forbid---forbidding (重读闭音节，双写).

prohibit---prohibiting （重读在第二音节，非重读闭音节，不双写）.

元音：a e i o u

辅音：b d g v r z n p m t c （k g) f l s h j x

重读闭音节法：两个辅音间夹着一个元音。

开音节分两种，一种叫绝对开音节，另一种叫相对开音节。

①绝对开音节：单个元音字母后面没有辅字母的重读音节。例如：no blue ba-by stu-dent se-cret.

②相对开音节：单个元音字母后面加单个辅音字母，再加一个不发音字母e构成的重读音节。例如：name th-ese bike home excuse.

什么叫闭音节？

单个元音字母后面有辅字母（r w y 除外）且以辅音字母结尾的重读音节。就是一个元音字母后跟一个辅音字母的单词。

例如：bag egg fish not cup 。

什么叫重读音节？

重读音节指的是单词中读音特别响亮的音节。用音标标记双音节、多音节词的读音时，应使用重读符号。单音节词多数是重读音节，标记读音时不需要使用重读符号。

双音节词的第一个音节通常是重读音节。

例如：stu-dent -Chi-na -sec-ond -au-tumn in--deed

含有a- be- de- re- in- ex- 等前缀的双音节词往往是在第二个音节上重读。双音节词的重读位置不会因增加前缀或后缀而发生改变。例如：

a-bout be-fore ex-cuse re-pair for-get-ful in-ven-tor

多音节词通常在倒数第三个音节重读。

例如：el-e-phant con-grat-u-la-tion

词尾有-ic或-tion,-sion的词，在-ic或-sion,-tion前的一个音节上重读。例如：im-pression republic；emphatic
