【课堂热身】
首先,let's warm up。我们先来做个热身。进入我们今天的复习环节。在第19课第1讲中,我们谈到了当今竞争残酷社会中一群“熬夜族人”。他们通宵达旦的工作或者是活动叫做all-nighter。“熬夜族人”要熬夜,“熬夜”叫做“pull an all-nighter”。像“熬更打夜”“挑灯夜战”“开夜车”都可以用pull an all-nighter来表述。
【课堂主题】
那么我们如何用地道美语来称呼“熬夜族人”呢?这就是我们今早的Spiritual Breakfast。那么我们现在就开始第19课第二讲的学习。Lesson 19 : How to say “熬夜族人”in real American English?
【课堂详解】
All my dear listeners, listen to my sentence —— He is a real night owl 1, being always calling me after midnight. Listen again! He is/a real night owl, being always calling me/ after midnight. 亲爱的朋友们,您觉得这句话中哪里表述出了“通宵达旦工作的人”的意思呢?
{答疑解惑}
He is a real night owl, being always calling me after midnight. 他真是一个十足的夜猫子,总是在午夜后打我的电话。在这句话中用了一个在夜间崭露头脚的动物来比喻a person who likes to be active at night。它是 —— Night Owl,意思是猫头鹰。Just because a night owl always comes out at night, it's used to figure a person who likes to go to bed late; a person who likes to enjoy night-life, and so on. 所以,通宵工作的人叫做Night Owl。但是Night Owl的比喻义不光是指通宵工作的人,还指深夜迟迟不睡的人,喜欢晚睡的人;喜欢享受夜生活的人。
其实,我们中国的俗语“夜猫子”就是指以上所说的通宵达旦工作或者是通宵达旦活动的人。可见,我们中西方的语言还是有共同之处的。夜猫子是“猫头鹰”的别称,由于它总是晚间出现,所以就用来比喻“开夜车的人”“熬更打夜的人”“挑灯夜战的人”。
{例句详析}
Next , let's learn the above example sentence in details。下面我们就来详细的看看刚才的例句。He is a real night owl, being always calling me after midnight. 这句话有三个要点。
第一、形容词real在这句话中是used to emphasize 2 a state or quality。Real在本句话中起到强调的作用。我们再来看2个例句。1. He looks a real idiot 3. 他看上去是个十足的傻子。This accident could have produced a real tragedy. 这事故差点酿成一场悲剧。(注解:这句话使用了虚拟语气,体现在谓语上——could have done,表示有可能发生的事情,但是没有发生。Could have produced a real tragedy意味着还没有发生惨剧,但是这个accident很严重,不过还没有到“覆水难收”的地步。For example: I could have done better if I had been more careful. 如果我再仔细一点,我可能还考得好一些。这句话就是指我就是还不够仔细,所以考试考得还不是很理想。)第二、Being always calling me after midnight是一个现在分词短语,在本句中作原因状语,补充说明为何称他为“夜猫子”的原因。 我们再来看一个例句:Some student need to pull an all-nighter for their exams, not hitting the books in normal times. 一些学生为应付考试而挑灯夜战,是因为平时没有努力学习。这句话中hit the books是个俚语,是study hard,努力学习的意思。Not hitting the books in normal times是否定结构的现在分词短语做原因状语,说明考试前要熬夜的原因。
第三、现在分词中的谓语结构中是be always doing something,这个结构是频率副词和现在进行时连用来表示对某人反复发生的行为动作的厌恶,憎恨等思想感情。例如:Why are you always getting in my hair every time I study? 为何我每次学习的时候,你就来打搅我?句中的get in one's hair是个俚语,意思是disturb somebody,打搅某人的意思。这句话表示出了说话者很讨厌、厌烦那个打搅他学习的人。
{例句拓展}
Finally , let's look at tow 4 more sentences to be familiar with the phrase, a night owl, that means a person who likes to be active at night. 最后我们来看2个例句来熟悉a night owl是熬更打夜的人这个比喻义。1. He becomes a night owl when the English final exams is coming. 英语期末考试一来临,他就成了夜猫子。(注解:Be a night owl就是pull an all-nighter的意思。)2. He has been a night owl. 他向来就是个夜猫子。
【课堂总结】
我们今天学了些什么呢?Let's have a summary. 下面我们就进入课堂总结的环节。第一、我们学了“熬夜族人”的称呼是 —— Night Owl,它是猫头鹰的意思,作为“熬夜族人”的意思是这个词的比喻义。第二、我们接触了肯定结构和否定结构的现在分词短语做原因状语的功能。第三、我们讲了could have done这个虚拟语气的用法和意思。第四、我们学了表示对某人反复的行为动作有厌恶,憎恨等情感的句型——Sb/sth+being+频率副词+doing,简而言之,就是频率副词与现在进行时连用。
