Lesson 26 The best art critics 最佳藝術(shù)評(píng)論家

First listen and then answer the question.聽(tīng)錄音, 然后回答以下問(wèn)題.

Who is the student's best critic?

I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?'

She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'

I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

參考譯文

我是個(gè)學(xué)藝術(shù)的學(xué)生, 畫(huà)了很多畫(huà). 有很多人裝成很懂現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)的樣子, 總是告訴你一幅畫(huà)的 “意思” 是什么. 當(dāng)然, 有很多畫(huà)是什么 “意思” 也沒(méi)有的. 它們就是些好看的圖案, 我們喜愛(ài)它們就像我們喜歡漂亮的窗簾布一樣. 我覺(jué)得小孩子們往往比任何人都更能欣賞現(xiàn)代繪畫(huà), 他們觀察到的東西更多. 我的妹妹只有7歲, 但她總能說(shuō)出我的畫(huà)是好還是壞. 昨天她到我房里來(lái)了.

引號(hào)來(lái)替代

注意事項(xiàng) :

a The speech marks are above the line. They go outside all other marks like commas(, ) full stops(. )and question marks (?).

引號(hào)位于一行之上, 它們應(yīng)在句尾其他標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)—如逗號(hào)、句號(hào)、問(wèn)號(hào)—之外.

not only ...but ...as well.

as well 放在句子結(jié)尾, 且可以省略

Young children not only appreciate modern paintings better than others,

but notice more.

not only...but...

連接的是兩組謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞

upside down 與the right way up 意思相反

【Multiple choice questions】多項(xiàng)選擇題

4 What is it about? Tell me ______ .

a.what is it about b.what it is about c.what about it is d.what about is it

考特殊疑問(wèn)句的間接引語(yǔ)是什么

陳述句的間接引語(yǔ)以that引導(dǎo)

What time is it?

How old are you?

變成以　He asked me . 形式

He asked me what time it was.

He asked me how old I was.

⑴ 　特殊疑問(wèn)句由特殊疑問(wèn)詞引導(dǎo)

⑵　時(shí)態(tài).

主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是過(guò)去時(shí)時(shí), 其從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)為相對(duì)應(yīng)的時(shí)態(tài).

⑶ 　疑問(wèn)句變成間接引語(yǔ)時(shí), 要變成陳述句語(yǔ)序.

陳述句語(yǔ)序 : 主語(yǔ)在動(dòng)詞前邊.

⑷　人稱的變化

Is it nine o'clock? /He asked me.

if/whether 是否

He asked me if/whether it was nine o'clock.

tell me 要求間接引語(yǔ)

Tell me what it is about.

注意使用陳述句語(yǔ)序.

What about 中about 是介詞, 后接名詞或動(dòng)詞的ing形式, 不接句子

What about it?

Tell me后要求陳述句語(yǔ)序

5 She tells me ______ my pictures are good or not.

a.weather b.that c.if d.unless

5.沒(méi)有一個(gè)答案是對(duì)的

直接引語(yǔ)變間接引語(yǔ)的連接詞有3種 :

⑴陳述句中的that;

⑵一般疑問(wèn)句中的if/whether;

⑶特殊疑問(wèn)句中的特殊疑問(wèn)詞

if不可以與or not 連用
