第四十七課　英文字后頭加上字母S
一.本課要點(diǎn)及示例

在這一課里, 我們要復(fù)習(xí)五種在英文字后頭加上字母 s 的說(shuō)法. 頭兩種是把兩 個(gè)字簡(jiǎn)化為一個(gè)字, 比方把 he is 說(shuō)成 he's, 或是把 he has 說(shuō)成 he's; 第三種 是用來(lái)表示復(fù)數(shù)名詞,比方 teachers, students, 第四種是第三人稱單數(shù)動(dòng)詞, 比 方 "買(mǎi)" buys, "吃" eats 等等; 最后一種是用來(lái)表示所有格, 比方 "美國(guó)人的" American's, "政府的" government's 等等. 同時(shí)我們也要學(xué)習(xí)跟美國(guó)賦稅制度 有關(guān)系的詞匯.

現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)聽(tīng)今天這一課的對(duì)話, 內(nèi)容是說(shuō)亨利跟凱特談起了繳所得稅的事 情. 請(qǐng)你注意兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語(yǔ)調(diào).

F: Henry, our income tax is due soon. Did you call our accountant?

M: He's figuring out our taxes right now. I gave him all the records on our income and expenses last week.

F: The government has deducted taxes from our paychecks all year. I hope we get some of that money back or at least that we won't have to pay more.

M: Remember the money your aunt left us when she died, and the money you made when you taught night school?

F: Yes.

M: Well, that's all taxable income.That money has put us in a higher tax bracket.

F: What does that mean?

M: It means we have to pay more taxes.

F: Well, it looks like we'll have to make more money this year just to pay last year's taxes.

現(xiàn)在我們把整段對(duì)話再聽(tīng)一遍

F: Henry, our income tax is due soon. Did you call our accountant?

M: He's figuring out our taxes right now. I gave him all the records on our income and expenses last week.

F: The government has deducted taxes from our paychecks all year. I hope we get some of that money back or at least that we won't have to pay more.

M: Remember the money your aunt left us when she died, and the money you made when you taught night school?

F: Yes.

M: Well, that's all taxable income.That money has put us in a higher tax bracket.

F: What does that mean?

M: It means we have to pay more taxes.

F: Well, it looks like we'll have to make more money this year just to pay last year's taxes.

現(xiàn)在老師把對(duì)話里包含了我們今天要學(xué)的語(yǔ)法的句子再念一遍給你聽(tīng).

M: He's figuring out our taxes right now.

M: I gave him all the records on our income and expenses last week.

二.SHE'S和HE'S

首先我們根據(jù)對(duì)話內(nèi)容一方面練習(xí)把she is 簡(jiǎn)化為 she's, 把 he is簡(jiǎn)化為 he's, 一方面也復(fù)習(xí)對(duì)話里的新詞匯. 練習(xí)的作法是老師念一個(gè)句子, 比方: Kate is talking to Henry. 學(xué)生就把句子改為: She's talking to Henry. 請(qǐng)你跟學(xué)生一起作 練習(xí). 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始.
