M:Come on. Don't be a couch potato. Let's play outside.
S:No, my favorite soap opera will be on in five minutes.
M:Soap opera? I bet you are watching a love story with pretty actresses and handsome actors.
S:How do you know?
M:I used to watch such TV series.
S: You're an expert. Let's watch it together. The story is so moving.
M: I don't watch TV series any longer.
S: But why?
M: There're so many advertisements on TV.
S: Yes, but it's worth waiting for the romantic love stories.
M: Sue, the stories are not real. They are just made to attract such young girls as you.
S: Nonsense.
M: You're so keen on soap operas.
英語筆記
1.be 與 on 連讀,中間加輔助音/j/,連讀為/b?j?n/。
2.used to 是系動詞,不重讀。
3.moving 在這里不是“移動”,而是“感人的”。
4.romantic 詞尾的/k/與love 中的/l/相遇,失去爆破,讀作/r???mænt?/。

系動詞在句中的重讀情況
在英語中,系動詞位于句中時一般不重讀。如:
I am a student.
我是個學生。(am不需要重讀)
He looks very tired now.
他此刻看起來很疲憊。(looks不需要重讀)
如果系動詞位于句尾,則需要重讀。如
Yes, I am.
是的,我是。(am需要重讀)
如果系動詞位于句首,則可重讀也可不重讀。如:
Is the man over there your teacher?
那家邊的那個人是你們的老師嗎?(is可重讀,也可不重讀)
類似的情況還有助動詞、情態(tài)動詞等。如:
You do not seem happy today.
你今天看起來不高興。
Yes.I can.
是的,我能。(can需要重讀)
Have you read all the books?
這些書你都讀過了嗎?(have 位于句首,可重讀可不重讀)
