Daddy和Mummy決定國慶節(jié)假期里帶Peppa和George去國外旅行,他們建議兩個(gè)孩子提早做好旅行攻略。George開心得一蹦三尺高:“Oh, I’m so exciting!”
Peppa:George,你激動(dòng)得單詞都用錯(cuò)啦!Exciting和excited都是形容詞,都表示激動(dòng)、興奮的意思,但表示的對(duì)象不同。Exciting表示某事物令人興奮的,而excited的對(duì)象是人。所以你應(yīng)該說:I’m so excited.
George:What exciting news!I am so excited!
(多么激動(dòng)人心的消息啊!我太興奮了?。?/p>
Peppa:Mummy is very excited, too. Listen, she is singing excitedly in the garden. (媽媽也很興奮。聽,她正在花園里興奮地唱著歌呢。)
George:哈哈,Peppa你也用錯(cuò)詞了吧,怎么是sing excitedly呢?
Peppa:Excitedly是副詞,興奮地,是形容詞excited加-ly變來的,一般用在動(dòng)詞后面,這里的sing是動(dòng)詞啊。
Look, Daddy is watching TV excitedly.
(看,爸爸正在興奮地看電視。)
There’s an exciting football match on TV.
(電視上有一場激動(dòng)人心的足球賽。)
George:哦,我好像明白了。還有類似excited和exciting這樣的詞語嗎?
Peppa:當(dāng)然有啊,interested和interesting,bored和boring,surprised和surprising,等等。如:
1. The story is very interesting. 這個(gè)故事很有趣。
I’m interested in music. 我對(duì)音樂感興趣。
2. The book is very boring. 這本書很枯燥。
I feel very bored. 我感到很煩。
3. It is surprising news. 這是個(gè)令人驚訝的消息。
We are surprised at your words. 對(duì)于你的話我們感到很詫異。
George:我記住了,遇到這類相似的形容詞,要先辨別清楚是針對(duì)人的,還是針對(duì)某件事情,這樣就不會(huì)錯(cuò)了。
Daddy和Mummy正在商量去哪兒,乘坐什么交通工具去,Peppa和George 也加入了討論。
Daddy:How about going to Egypt? How can we get there? By air?
(去埃及怎么樣?我們怎么到達(dá)那兒呢?乘飛機(jī)嗎?)
Peppa:Oh, I don’t want to go by plane. (我不想坐飛機(jī)去。)
It’s not safe to take a plane, do you remember “Boeing 737 Max” ?
(乘飛機(jī)不安全,你們記得“波音737”嗎?)
George:We may travel by sea, it’s safer.
(我們可以乘船去旅行,這樣更安全。)
Daddy:飛機(jī)出事故也是極少發(fā)生的,不必太介意乘坐飛機(jī)。
1. Road safety is really very important. 道路安全真的是很重要。
2. We must follow the traffic rules, and stay safe on the road.
我們必須遵守交通規(guī)則,在路上保持安全。
3. To keep safe, we must wait on the pavement.
為了保持安全,我們必須在人行道上等待。
4. We must cross the road safely. 我們必須要安全地穿過馬路。
George:Safe, safely和safety,聽得我好暈?。?/p>
Mummy:Safe安全的,是形容詞,一般用法是be safe或放在名詞前修飾名詞;safely安全地,是副詞,一般跟在動(dòng)詞后面;safety安全,是名詞。
George:這些我都能理解,但stay safe,keep safe是為什么呢?
Mummy:系動(dòng)詞stay和keep,意思是“保持”,相當(dāng)于be動(dòng)詞,后面也用形容詞。類似的系動(dòng)詞還有l(wèi)ook(看起來),feel(感到),smell(聞起來),sound(聽起來),become(變得),get(變得),等等。如:
look happy 看起來開心 look sad 看起來難過
feel tired 感覺累 feel thirsty 感覺渴
smell nice 聞起來很好 sound great 聽起來很棒
become cloudy 變得多云的 get angry 變得生氣的
Peppa:嘻嘻,我也聽懂了!真希望旅行的日子快點(diǎn)到來!
