中級美國英語動詞詞組（一）
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們練習幾個由動詞和介詞構(gòu)成的動詞詞組, 比方 "繼續(xù)" keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on. "延遲" put off, p-u-t o-f-f, put off, "放棄" give up, g-i-v-e u-p, give up 等等, 我們還要學習由動詞跟動名詞構(gòu)成的動詞詞組, 比方 "考慮參加" consider joining, "停止磋商" stop negotiating 等等.
現(xiàn)在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話, 內(nèi)容是說珍妮跟同學鮑勃談起了大學畢業(yè)之后要不要上研究院的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).

F: I've considered going on for a Master's Degree, but I may postpone getting it.
M: Why is that?
F: I think I'd like to work for a while before I start graduate school.
M: I've considered working for a while, but I don't want to put off learning Chinese.
F: Have you considered taking time off to go to China again?
M: I've thought of doing that. If I get a chance, I will. Otherwise, I'll finish the graduate program and then go.
F: With a graduate degree, you will have more opportunities.
現(xiàn)在我請兩位英文老師再把整段對話用慢速度念一遍.

二.BE THINKING OF
聽了上面那些句子, 我想你對我們今天要學的兩種動詞詞組的用法已經(jīng)有些概念. 第一種就是用上介詞和動名詞的動詞詞組. 下面我們用 is thinking of加上動名詞來表示 "想作什么事", 比方 "珍妮想輟學". 這句話英文可以這樣說 Jenny is thinking of quitting school. 下面我們作一組練習看看珍妮想作什么. 由老師念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞組, 學生就把詞組代換到原來的句子里. 請你跟學生一起作練習.

三.用KEEP ON, PUT OFF, GIVE UP做問答練習
珍妮不想念書, 因為她想搬到東部找份工作.當然找工作不容易, 珍妮試了一次可是沒成功, 她是不是應該繼續(xù)試呢? 現(xiàn)在我們用keep on, k-e-e-p o-n, keep on加上動名詞作一組練習說明珍妮應該繼續(xù)作什么事. 在這組練習里你也可以學到在美國找工作的過程, 比方 " 查找求人的廣告" checking want-ads,"申請工作" applying for jobs. "寄履歷表" mailing resumes 等等. 請你注意聽老師提出的問題, 并且作肯定的答覆. 每作完一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.
M: Should Jenny keep on trying?

下面我們用 "放棄" give up, g-i-v-e u-p, give up 加上動名詞作句子,看看鮑勃為了到中國去是不是應該放棄他的一些個人喜好, 比方抽煙, 畫畫兒等等. 練習的作法是老師提出一個問題, 學生就根據(jù)問題作否定的答覆.學生作練習的時候請你也一起作.

四.SUCCEEDED IN
珍妮和鮑勃大學畢業(yè)之后都暫時不想繼續(xù)念研究院. 可是在美國許多大學生在大三, 大四的時候就已經(jīng)想好了將來要念哪個研究院; 美國許多研究院也不斷地改善設施, 提高學生人數(shù).下面我們作一組練習用succeeded in, s-u-c- c-e-e-d-e-d i-n, succeeded in 加上動名詞作一些過去時態(tài)句子, 說明學校當局成功地作了什么事, 比方 "使教學設備現(xiàn)代化" updating teaching equipment."籌募私人贈款" raising private donations, "消除預算赤字" eliminating budget deficit 等等. 練習的作法是老師先念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞組, 你就把詞組代換到原來的句子里, 每作完一句, 就請你聽老師把句子再念一遍.

M: updating teaching equipment
F: The university administration succeeded in updating teaching equipment
M: raising private donations
F: The university administration succeeded in raising private donations.
M: eliminating budget deficit
F: The university administration succeeded in eliminating budget deficit.
五.動詞加動名詞
下面我們學習動詞加上動名詞的用法. 在上一課里, 我們學過一個英文句子里如果有兩個動詞都是說明同一個主語的時候必須在兩個動詞之間加上 to, 比方 I want to study 等等. 不過有些動詞例外, 比方 "延遲" postpone, "考慮"consider, "停止" quit, "后悔" regret,"恢復" resume 等等. 要在這些動詞后面再加一個動詞的時候必須把第二個動詞改成動名詞, 比方 consider going, quit smoking, resume studying 等等.
現(xiàn)在我們作一組練習學學這種詞組. 練習的內(nèi)容都是跟學校有關系的, 比方學校當局延遲提高學費, 教師工會后悔組織罷工等等.練習的作法是老師提出一個問題,你就作肯定的答覆. 比方老師說: Did the professors regret organizing a strike? 你就回答說: Yes, they regretted organizing a strike.
現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句就請你聽老師念正確答案.

六.聽短文回答問題
現(xiàn)在我請英文老師念一篇介紹美國研究院的文章. 這篇文章談到美國學生為什么要念研究院.現(xiàn)在請你注意聽, 等一會兒, 我們要根據(jù)文章問你幾個問題.
Most American university students study for four years or more to get a college degree. During this time, they are called undergraduate students. When a student completes his courses, he earns a bachelor degree which will help him find a job. Many students postpone finding jobs. They stay at the university and work for a higher degree. Other studens take a job for a few years. Then they quit working, and they resume studying at the university. These students work to earn higher degrees; a master's or a doctorate. They are called graduate students. Graduate students specialize in a particular field of study. They study to become experts in this field and to learn new advances in their fields while they earn an M.A. or Ph.D. Sometimes when they get an M. A. in one field they begin studying another field. They hope that when they earn their graduate degrees they will succeed in finding important jobs. They hope to get jobs that are interesting and high paying. The life of a graduate student is often difficult. They are usually too busy studying to make a good living. Often they have to pay high tuition fees for their education. Some give up studying before they get their degrees. But most keep on working at their studies until they graduate. In today's world, most graduate students don't regret spending time with their studies. They are finding that things are changing very fast. New developments are occurring in all fields. For many graduate study has become a necessity.
現(xiàn)在老師先把等一會兒要問你的問題念一遍給你聽.
第一個問題是:
M: What degrees do graduate students work to earn?
第二個問題是:
M: Why do people go to graduate school?
第三個問題是:
M: Why has graduate study become necessary for many people nowadays?
