1、新思維綜合英語（1）Unit 10(6672),Unit10 Learning objectives,How to talk about the size of an apartment 如何談論公寓大小How to ask about apartments 如何詢問公寓情況How to talk about transportation如何談論交通,Lesson 66Is it still available?,Debbie is looking for an apartment. Her friend Hiro is helping her.,Focus Questions,A 1. Wh

2、at is the apartment, which Hiro finds in the newspaper, like? 2. Why doesnt Debbie want the apartment? 3. Where is the one-bedroom for $650 a month?,B 1. Whats more about the one-bedroom apartment for $650 a month? 2. How is the public transportation? 3. Will Debbie accept the studio apartment? Why

3、or why not?,Language points in the dialogue,How does this sound? 1. “這個聽起來怎樣？”一般來說這句話是個引子，好讓對方注意自己接下來要說的話。人們有時也會說Listen作為開場白。 2. sound在這里是一個半系動詞，后面接表語，如：It sounds great to me. 對表語提問的時候要用how。如：How are you feeling now? I feel better.,Sunny one-bedroom near transportation, centrally located 1. Sunny, 晴

4、朗的，能曬到太陽，朝陽的 2. one-bedroom一居室（一間臥室加一間客廳，有廁所和廚房） 3. near transportation 交通方便 4. centrally “中心地”，這里表示市中心。 Its just what Im looking for. 句中what Im looking for做表語，相當于the one that Im looking for，這里的關系代詞that可以省略。 to look for“尋找”，區(qū)別于find“找到”。,Its $850 a month including utilities. Including utilities means

5、 that the cost of services such as water and electricity are included in the amount charged for the rent. 水電等設施的費用已包含在房租內(nèi)了。 Does it say how much it is? 這個句型是第十單元的語法重點，叫做embedded questions，嵌入式問句。這個句子中，特殊疑問句how much is it被嵌在另一個疑問句does it say中。這個時候被嵌入的問句需要用陳述句形式表達出來，也就是說how much is it放在does it say后面應該變

6、為how much it is。,本課的兩段對話中還出現(xiàn)了下列嵌入式疑問句： (In Dialogue A) (1) Does it say how much it is? (2) Do you have any idea where that is? (In Dialogue B) (3) Do you happen to know how often it runs during rush hour? (rush hour = peak hour高峰期) 學習一個常用句型：Do you know + 嵌入式疑問句。以上三句話可變成： (1) Do you know how much it

7、is? (2) Do you know where that is? (3) Do you know how often it runs during rush hour? I cant afford to pay that much. 1. to afford to do something 有經(jīng)濟能力去做某事 2. that much意思是such a large sum of money。,Maybe you should look for a roommate. 1. 給他人提建議，經(jīng)常會用should，you should do something這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)，如果前面加上maybe聽

8、起來會更委婉一些。如：Maybe you should find someone who can help. 也許你應該找個人幫忙。 2. roommate 室友。后綴mate 表示“同伴”。如：schoolmate 同學 classmate 同班同學。 No, Id rather have my own place. Id rather do something, 寧愿做某事 Id = I would 表達自己的喜好；寧可不做某事 Id rather not do something。對話中用到would rather 的句子有： (In Dialogue A) - Maybe you sh

9、ould look for a roommate. - No, Id rather have my own place.,(In Dialogue B) (1) - Do you have a car? - Yes, but Id rather not drive to work. (drive to work 開車上班) (2) Id rather not live on the first floor. Now here is a one-bedroom for $650 a month on Oak Street. Do you have any idea where that is?

10、在具體的某某街道用介詞on，泛指在街上用介詞in，即in the street。 Its off Washington, near the park. off = near，指不在華盛頓，而是在華盛頓附近，如：Were staying in a hotel off the airport expressway. 我們住在離機場高速公路很近的一個賓館里。,Answers to the Focus Questions,A： 1.

11、room near transportation, centrally located. 2. Why doesnt Debbie want the apartment? Its $850 a month and Debbie cant afford to pay that much. 3. Where is the one-bedroom for $650 a month?

14、n be used or obtained 可用的，可以得到的；(2) free to be seen, talked to, etc. 有空的，可會見的，可與之交談的。如：Im available in the afternoon. 我下午有空。 Could you tell me more about it? 用could you tell me來詢問信息，口頭交流和書面文中都很常見。用could不用can，很委婉的說法。tell somebody about something, 告訴某人某事。 sure回答請求，表示沒問題。,The living rooms pretty large

15、about eighteen by twenty-three feet. 1. there be 句型表示“存在”，與have有區(qū)別。have表示擁有，歸屬。如：(1) There is a wood bridge over the river. 河面上有一座木橋。(2) I have a brother who works in Finland. 我有一個哥哥，在芬蘭工作。There be中be動詞根據(jù)后面名詞的單復數(shù)而變化。 2. Bath 浴室，洗澡。如：I took a bath after doing exercise. 鍛煉后我洗個了澡。,3. living room 起居室。 4

16、. pretty: adv. fairly, moderately, 相當，頗為。pretty much, almost, 幾乎，差不多。如：The car is pretty much new. 這輛車幾乎是全新的。 5. eighteen by twenty-three， 18 X 23, 注意介詞by來表示長乘以寬。 6.

Do you happen to know是一種委婉的詢問方式。 2. happen to “偶然，碰巧”，如：I happened to find a love letter in the novel he lent to me

18、. 我偶然在他借我的小說里找到一封情書。 3. to lend something to somebody 把借給某人 4. how often表示頻率，即“多久一次”。 5. rush hour高峰期 6. or so 大約，左右,It sounds perfect. What floor is it on? 1. Perfect, “完美”，這里表示令人滿意，沒什么可挑剔的。 2. The first floor, （英式英語）第二層；（美式英語）第一層。英國與美國對first floor的概念不一樣。美國的first floor相當于英國的ground floor，地面層。英國的firs

19、t floor其實是在第二層，相當于美國的second floor。我們國家的用法跟美國是一致的?！霸趲讓訕恰?用介詞on。,本課里學習了幾個 “how + adj 或adv” 提問的句子： How much is the apartment? How close is the building to public transportation? How often the bus runs during rush hour? How soon will the apartment be available? 注意區(qū)別這些以 How 開始的疑問句的含義。 在請求別人幫忙但別人最終沒能幫上忙的時

36、： (1) In places like abandoned buildings, shelters, bus and train stations, subways, and city streets. (2) Large cities such as New York, London and Bombay can barely cope with the large numbers of people living on the streets. 在這兩句話中，like和such as后面一般引出例子（名詞），表示“比如說”的意思。如：Next term I will have sever

Nor is it easy to describe a typical homeless person nor表示也不，當nor放在句
