L8 Sky Lantern Festival

單元教學目標


1. 認識元宵節施放天燈的習俗由來。
2. 認識台灣重要假日與節慶名稱。
3. 認識節慶活動與動詞的搭配用法。

課文重點分析

1. People in Pinghsi, in the north of Taiwan, have a very special way of celebrating the Lantern Festival

說明:in the north of Taiwan可視為「關係子句」(which is in the north of Taiwan)減化後的結果,主要用來補充說明Pinghsi位於台灣北部。

例句:
Kaohsiung, in the south of Taiwan, is famous for its Love River.
高雄,位於台灣的南部,是以愛河聞名。

2. Instead of hanging small lanterns at home or at the temple,…

(1) Instead of N/V-ing, S + V + …

例:Instead of studying, they went to a party.
       他們不是去讀書,而去參加了一個慶祝會。

(2) instead(取代地)單獨使用時,是一個「副詞」。

例:He wanted to make rubber, but instead he found a way to make chewing gum.
       他原本想製作橡膠,但取代地,他卻發現做出口香糖的方式。

例:I don't like this red bag. Give me the blue one instead.
      我不喜歡這個紅色包包。請給我藍色的那個。

3. …it was now safe to return home.

(1) It was now safe to return home.句中的主詞it,是一個「虛主詞」,表示it雖放在句首,但不是真正主詞,只是用來引介(introduce)後面真正的主詞。在此句中,出現在後面的不定詞結構(infinitive structure)的to return home,就是所謂的「真主詞」。

【補充】It is…that + 子句,也是經常在文章中出現用it當虛主詞的句型。

例:It is a miracle that Bob survived the car accident.
       鮑伯在這次車禍大難不此真是奇蹟。

4. … even as the festival becomes more popular every year,…

(1) “as”可以做副詞、介詞、或連接詞使用。此句的as是連接詞(conjunction),意思接近”when”或”while”。

(2) even(甚至)是副詞,常置於令人意外的字詞前面(如:動詞、名詞、比較級、介詞片語等),以為加強語氣。even as(正當…的時候;就在…時候)是「附屬連接詞」(subordinating conjunction),引導附屬子句,並使其與主要子句建立關係。

例:However, even as we look to the past, we should also look to the future.
       然而,就在我們回顧過去的同時,我們也應該瞻望未來。

5. …, this idea has not been lost.

此句使用「被動語態」(Passive Voice)句型中「現在完成式」的被動句型。
即 S + have/has + been + p.p.

例:The house has been sold to the Wangs already.
        這房子已經賣給王家了。

6. If you have a chance, you can go to Pinghsi yourself to experience the beauty…

(1) 句中的if是「從屬連接詞」(subordinating conjunction),用來引介一個「副詞子句」(adverbial clause),做為後面主要句發生在未來時的條件。因此,if所引導的「副詞子句」,也稱為「條件子句」(conditional clause),此句的時態通常是現在式。

(2) 「副詞子句」若置於句首,常用「逗點」(comma)把它與後面主要句分開,即 If S + V + …, S + V + …

例:If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will be able to hold the activity outside.
       明天不下雨,我們將能夠在戶外舉行活動。

例:If you are unable to lend me the money, I will go ask someone else for it.
       你無法借我這筆錢,我將去找別人想辦法。

例:You will get into big trouble if you don’t tell the truth.
        你不說實話,你會有大麻煩。

7. …you can go to Pinghsi yourself to experience the beauty.

句中的yourself,是「你們(你)自己」強調用。

例:The little boy made these cute lanterns himself.
       小男孩自己做了這些可愛的燈籠。

例:Maria will take a bus to the book exhibition herself.
       亞會自己搭公車去書展。

【補充】 oneself「反身代名詞」,指某人自己,強調用。

例:Help yourself to the food and drinks.
        拿食物和飲料。(說明:祈使句的主詞You常被省略)

L6 Net Buy





II. 課文重點分析


1. For the past nine years, I’ve been looking for one specific CD.
(1) I’ve been looking,表示作者一直在尋找,沒有間斷。
(2) have/has been Ving,這為現在完成進行式,用來表示動作的持續進行。

例:Edward has been studying computer science.
(愛德華一直在讀電腦科學。)

2. And each time I’ve left thinking that it’s probably no longer available.
(1) 原句為And each time I’ve left, I thought that it’s probably no longer available.
(2) 本句是表示兩個不同的動作,在同一時間發生。用分詞構句表示,leave和think兩個動作同時進行。
例:He walked away smiling at me.
(他走開時,一邊對著我笑。)

3. I compared prices, and, with just a few clicks, I had ordered the CD.
(1) with just a few clicks,意思為帶著幾聲的卡答聲,文法上為一個插入語。
(2) with…,表示有附帶狀況的補語,用來補充主要子句。此句表示作者比價的時候,順便點幾下滑鼠,便輕鬆的訂購到這片CD,由此可見網路購物的容易。

4. By now, I know how safe and how convenient Internet shopping is.
(1) by now,指的是「到現在為止」。
(2) 這裡的how,意為「多麼」,修飾其後的形容詞safe 和 convenient,意為多麼的安全和方便。

5. And CDs and books aren’t the only things to be found online.
(1) to be found online,本來為that are to be found online,是一形容詞片語。本句指的是,能在網路上找到的東西,並不是只有CD和書本,還有其它的東西。

6. It’s of course also convenient to do all your shopping from your desk!
(1)這裡的it,指的是之後的不定詞片語,to do all your shopping from your desk.
(2)本句指的是,坐在書桌前就可以購物,這當然是一件相當便利的事。

7. What’s more, you can save lots of money by comparing prices on different sites.
(1)What’s more,更甚而。之後接的事情,比之前提到更重要的事。

8. I admit, Internet shopping has its drawbacks.
此處的逗號,並非斷句,是用來表示語氣上的加重,以突顯後面的事。

9. For now, many companies only ship to U.S. addresses.
(1)For now,到目前為止,此處的逗號,亦非斷句,是用來強調後面的事。。
(2)這裡的companies,作者雖沒有講清楚,應該是指美國的公司,只送貨到美國的地址。

10. Also, the money you save is sometimes lost on shipping and handling fees.
(1)這裡的you save,是一個形容詞子句,前面省了that 或which,修飾之前的名詞,the money。
(2)also 之後的逗號,亦非斷句,是用來張顯省下的錢會浪費在運費和處理費。

11. For some of us, the Internet may make shopping too easy.
For some of us, 此處的逗號,則是單純的斷句,並非用來突顯後面的事。

L5 Communicating with Signs

單元教學目標

1. 觀察及認識日常生活中常見的標示。
2. 學會並靈活運用本課單字、片語。
3. 學會用while及All you need to do is… 的句型。
4. 藉由標示學會看懂、並且能夠口說簡易的日常生活英語。

課文重點分析

1. As you drive or walk along the streets in almost any city, you can't help but notice that there are signs everywhere: store signs, street signs, traffic signs.

連接詞as可連接兩個同時發生的事件,譯為「當……時候」,用法與while接近。
例:
(1)  Tim cried as he spoke. (Tim cried and spoke at the same time.)
(2) As he talked, we all looked at the big pimple on his nose. (He talked and we all looked at the big pimple on his nose at the same time.)

比較:以上句子也可以用while,即 I cried while I spoke.

但若一件事緊接著另一件事發生,而非同時,則用when,不能用as。
例:
(1) When he got home, he took a hot bath.(先到家再洗澡,不可能同時到家兼洗澡。)
(2) They got married when (while) they were living in Kaohsiung.

總之,兩個動作同時發生用as。若一個動作先發生,或持續的狀態較久,則用when。而while則可以是as,也可以是when;關於while的用法,詳見本課Grammar Focus。

2. While many of these signs communicate with words, there are many others that rely entirely on symbols.
(1) 連接詞while可用來連接兩個子句,在此強調兩件事的差異。
例:
(a) While I like staying home, my husband likes traveling.
(b) The afternoon tea set costs $120, while the refill is free.
(2) 此處之others 為代名詞,指other signs。

3. Anyone from any country, speaking any language, can understand them quickly and easily.
原為形容詞子句who speaks any language修飾先行詞anyone。
例:
Many signs that use symbols to communicate can convey a message quickly.
= Many signs using symbols to communicate can convey a message quickly.

4. That is why they are called international signs.
wh-疑問詞可帶出名詞子句。此處why they are called international signs是一名詞子句,用來作主詞補語。
例:
(1) That is why he was late.
(2) Spring is when the birds fly back to the north.

5. International signs have become more important around the world as more and more people are traveling from country to country.
連接詞as可引導一個表示原因的子句,意思接近because。
例:
(1) As it was getting dark, they decided to stop traveling.
(2) You should learn to be independent as you are grown up.

6. On the highway, if you’re looking for a gas station or a phone, all you need to do is watch for the (… ) or (….) signs.

此處之all為強調用法,即the only thing,用後面的形容詞子句you need to do修飾。主詞all you need to do (= the only thing you need to do)為單數主詞,故動詞用單數動詞;be V. 之後可加不定詞或名詞做主詞補語。
例:
(1) All you need to do is (to) go home and have a good sleep.
(2) All she wants is (to) take a hot bath.

7. In some places, you may even need to watch for signs that warn of deer or cattle wandering onto the road.
(1) 介係詞of 表示「……的存在」。warn of 即「提醒……的存在」。
例:
(a) His speech warned of the terrorists around us.
(b) He warned me of the danger of joining the race.

(2) 原為形容詞子句which wander into the road修飾先行詞deer or cattle。詳見課文重點分析3。

8. Therefore, in order to understand signs, we need to know words as well as symbols.
(1) 副詞therefore「因此」為一轉折語(transitional word),可承接上下文之因果關係,使文章較有連貫。例:
Not all of the signs use symbols to communicate; therefore, learning languages is also important.
“I think; therefore, I am.” 我思故我在。(笛卡爾之名言)

比較:therefore語氣較so強烈,且是副詞無法連接兩個子句。

(2) in order to + 原形V. 可表示目的「為了……」in order to understand signs亦可放在句首或句末。即
(a) In order to understand signs, we need to know symbols as well as symbols.
(b) We need to know symbols as well as symbols in order to understand signs.
