第四十八課　以 tive和 ity 結(jié)尾的詞匯
一.本課要點及示例

在這一課里, 我們學習一些以 i-v-e 結(jié)尾的形容詞, 比方active, impressive 跟一 些以 i-t-y 結(jié)尾的名詞, 比方 possibility, popularity 等等. 另外, 我們也要學習一 些跟新聞傳播有關(guān)系的詞匯.

現(xiàn)在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話,內(nèi)容是說亨利跟女兒琳達談到了看電視新 聞的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).

F: Dad, what are you watching on television?

M: I'm watching the news, Linda. Why don't you join me and watch it too?

F: The news is boring. It's always the same thing.

M: You should know what's going on in the world. There's always the possibility that things could affect you.

F: I like things that are more active, more creative and more entertaining.

M: If you watched the news regularly, you would find it very informative.

F: Well, if you want me to watch the news with you, can we change to Channel 7?

M: Why?

F: Because the anchor-man on Channel 7 has a personality.

現(xiàn)在英文老師再把整段對話念一遍, 請你注意聽.

F: Dad, what are you watching on television?

M: I'm watching the news, Linda. Why don't you join me and watch it too?

F: The news is boring. It's always the same thing.

M: You should know what's going on in the world. There's always the possibility that things could affect you.

F: I like things that are more active, more creative and more entertaining.

M: If you watched the news regularly, you would find it very informative.

F: Well, if you want me to watch the news with you, can we change to Channel 7?

M: Why?

F: Because the anchor-man on Channel 7 has a personality.

下面我們來聽老師把對話里包含了我們今天要學的一些詞匯的句子再念一遍.

M: There's always the possibility that things could affect you.

F: I like things that are more active, more creative and more entertaining.

M: If you watched the news regularly, you would find it very informative.

F: Because the anchor-man on Channel 7 has a personality.

二.以-TIVE 和 -SIVE 結(jié)尾的形容詞

首先我們練習一些以 t-i-v-e 結(jié)尾的形容詞. 這些形容詞都是從動詞演變來的.

練習的作法是由男老師念動詞, 然后女老師把這個動詞演變成的形容詞念出 來, 接著男老師用那個形容詞作句子, 女老師就照樣重復一遍. 下面就是一個 例子.

M: act

F: active

M: Reporters are active in gathering news.

F: Reporters are active in gathering news.

這組練習里的句子都是說到電視記者的工作, 比方新聞界競爭激烈, 記者們忙 著跑新聞, 盡量把消息告訴觀眾, 希望作到消息又新又快; 他們必須要文筆好 又得知道觀眾的喜好,因為他們知道觀眾可以自由選擇節(jié)目, 不受歡迎的節(jié)目 就會被淘汰等等. 現(xiàn)在請你注意聽, 并且跟女老師一起把句子重復一遍.

M: act

F: active

M: Reporters are active in gathering news.

F: Reporters are active in gathering news.

M: inform

F: informative

M: They want to be as informative as possible.

F: They want to be as informative as possible.
