【Text】
Lesson 59 In or out? 进来还是出去?
First listen and then answer the question.听录音, 然后回答以下问题.
Why did Rex run away?
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to 5 let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate 10 shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
参考译文
我家的狗雷克斯, 过去常坐在大门外面叫. 每当它想到花园里来时, 便汪汪叫个不停, 直到有人把门打开. 由于邻居们对狗叫很有意见, 所以我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来. 雷克斯很快成了开门的专家. 然而上星期我正要出去买东西时, 发现它正呆在花园里边靠门的地方. 这次它叫着让人把它放出去!从那以后, 它养成了另外一种坏习惯. 它从外面把门一打开, 就走进花园, 等着门自动关上. 这之后他就坐下汪汪叫起来, 直到有人来把它放出去. 出去之后, 它又马上把自己放进来, 接着再开始叫. 昨天, 我丈夫把大门卸了下来, 雷克斯很生气, 此后我们便再也没有见到它.
【课文讲解】
let sb do
let sb in让某人进来 / let sb out让某人出去 / let sb down让某人失望
let’s 省略式,口语
front gate 前门
would=used to 过去常常
every time=when 当什么时候,后面可以是点,可以是段
the monment=as soon as
when 当什么时候,后面可以是点,可以是段
the monment一...就...(强调的是瞬间)
every time : 每次, 每当
every time I turn to lesson 59, i will remember my teacher
The dog used to bark the front gate to let(make) somebody open the door.
complaim of抱怨
spend time doing花费某段时间去做某事
it takes sb事情做主语
sb spend time人做主语
train sb to do 训练某人做某事
press his paw 可省略为press the latch
press the button / press the figure on the button
button n.钮扣, [计]按钮 v.扣住, 扣紧
going out shopping 加了out 强调外出
so that : 以便于, 为了(表达目的)
after this
got : 是谓语动词 / have seen 也是谓语动词
so annoyed (that)
so...that...如此...以至于, 结果状语从句, 可以省略一个词,so 或 that 都可以
so that:目的状语从句必须具备一个特征, 在动词前面一定要出现情态动词
since(加在尾巴上) = since then : 从那时起到现在为止
【Special difficulties】难点
表达目的几种方式:to / in order to / in order that / so as to+原形/so that+目的状语从句
to+动词原形, that+从句
目的状语从句必须具备一个特征, 在动词前面一定要出现情态动词
目的状语从句当中不存在want, 只有to do
非谓语动词的否定形式在结构前面
如果发现do的动作不是由主语做的, 而是由其他人做的, 在to的前面加for sb
不定式的逻辑主语for sb to do sth
【Multiple choice questions】多项选择题
6 He was barking ______let him in.
a. for someone to b. in case someone c. so someone to d. so that someone
answer : a
so that引导目的状语从句
in case 以防万一, 如果: +句子,(状语从句,不会出现将来式)
EG.:Bring your umbrella in case it rains
so表示结果 : 引导句子,so 一旦出现会加句子,而to 是不定式是非谓语
to do 不定式做目的状语
for sb to do sth = so that sb do sth
7 As soon as he______ the gate from the outside he comes into the garden.
a. will open b.opens c. is opening d. has been opening
as soon as引导状语从句
状语从句中使用一般现在时取代一般将来时
be opening强调动作正在发生
has been doing现在完成进行时强调从过去延续到现在,并且不将延续
