The Cat That Vanished (消失的貓)
威爾累得腦子都木了，他本可以繼續向北走，也有可能在某棵樹下頭枕草地昏昏睡去，但是，正當他站在那兒，試圖讓頭腦清醒些的時候，他看見了一隻貓。
那是一隻母斑貓，就像威爾家的莫克西一樣。它輕輕地走出靠著牛津一側街道上的一個花園，威爾正站在街邊。他放下購物袋，伸出手，那隻貓便跑到他身邊，在他的手指間來回蹭起了腦袋，就像莫克西常常做的那樣。當然所有的貓都是那樣的，盡管如此，威爾還是渴望回家以至於熱淚充滿了他的雙眼。
終於，那隻貓轉身跑開了。正值夜晚，它還要巡視自己的領地，捕捉老鼠。它輕輕地穿過馬路，朝著角樹林另一邊的灌木叢走去，然後在那兒停了下來。
威爾繼續盯著它，這時，他發現貓的舉動變得非常奇怪
它伸出爪子去拍它前面空氣中的某些東西，某種威爾看不見的東西。然後它向後一躍，脊背拱起，毛發豎立，尾巴僵直地伸著。威爾了解貓的習性。他更加警覺地看著，只見那隻貓再次靠近那個地方---角樹與花園樹籬的灌木叢之間的一塊空草地，又拍打了一下那裡的空氣。
它再次向後一躍，但這次沒有跳得那麼遠，也沒有那麼害怕了。於是幾秒鍾的嗅來嗅去，爪子碰觸，胡須抽動，終於好奇心戰勝了警惕性。
那隻貓向前一邁，然後就消失了。
威爾眨了眨眼睛。然後他靜靜地站著，緊靠離他最近的一棵樹干，這時一輛卡車轉彎駛過來，車燈照到他的身上。卡車開過去後，他穿過馬路，眼睛盯著那隻貓一直在打量的地方。這並不容易，因為他無法把目光集中在某件東西上，但是當他靠近那個地方，設法仔細觀察時，他看出了端倪。
終於，他從某些角度看到了。那兒看上去就像有人在距離路邊大約兩米的地方將空間切開了一塊，它大體呈方形，不到一米寬。如果你與那塊空間處在同等高度，從側面看你幾乎看不到它，從後面則完全看不見它。只能從最靠近馬路的一邊看到它，但也很難看清楚，因為透過它，你所看到的一切與這一邊完全相同：一片被街燈照亮的草地。
但是威爾深信不疑，另一邊的那塊草地在一個不同的世界裡。
他不可能說得出所以然來。他只是馬上就知道了，就好像他知道火會燃燒，善意是美好一樣。他所注視著的是某種極為陌生的東西。
僅僅是這一理由，就足以吸引著他俯下身子向更深處望去。他看到的一切使他頭暈目眩，心跳加速，但是他卻毫不遲疑：他把購物袋塞了過去，繼而自己也鑽了過去---穿過現實世界框架上的這個洞，進入另一個世界。
他發現自己站在一排樹下。那是一些高大的棕櫚樹，而不是角樹，像在牛津一樣，那些樹木沿著草地排列成行。只是，他所處的是一條寬闊的馬路中央，路的一側是成行的咖啡館和小商店，燈火通明，還在營業，在布滿繁星的夜空下，所有的店鋪都靜悄悄，無人光顧。在這個炎熱的晚上，空氣中彌漫著鮮花的芳香和海水咸鹹的味道。
威爾仔細地環顧四周。在他身後，滿月映照著遠處壯麗的青山的輪廓，山腳下的斜坡上坐落著帶有美麗花園的房子，還有一塊樹木叢生的公共綠地，一座古典風格的廟宇在其上閃著微微的白光。
空氣中的那個空洞就在他身邊，無論是從這邊還是那邊都很難看見，但卻確定無疑地存在著。俯身向空洞的那一邊望去，他看到了自己的世界---牛津的街道。他不禁一顫，轉過身來：無論這個新世界如何，總會好過他剛剛離開的那個世界。帶著逐漸出現的眩暈感覺，那種處在半夢半醒之間的感覺，他站起身來環顧四周尋找他的向導---那隻貓。

A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.
The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD)
During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.
The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)
During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.
One of the most important discoveries ring this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.
Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)
In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly instrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.
The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angr about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.
Modern Art (20th century to today)
At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modem art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles, but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modem art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?
THE BEST OF MANHATTAN』S ART GALLERIES
The Frick Collection (5th Avenue and E.70th Street)
Many art lovers would rather visit this small art gallery than any other in New York. Henry Clay Frick, a rich New Yorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collection to the American people. Frick had a preference for pre-twentieth century Western paintings, and these are well-represented in this excellent collection. You can also explore Frick's beautiful home and garden which are well worth a Visit.
Guggenheim Museum(5th Avenue and 88th Street)
This museum owns 5,000 superb modern paintings, sculptures and drawings. These art works are not all displayed at the same time. The exhibition is always changing. It will appeal to those who love Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. The Guggenheim Museum building is also world-famous. When you walk into gallery, you feel as if you
were inside a fragile, white seashell. The best way to see the paintings is to start from the top floor and walk down to the bottom. There are no stairs just a circular path. The museum also has an excellent restaurant.
Metropolitan Museum of Art (5th Avenue and 82nd Street)
The reputation of this museum lies in the variety of its art collection. This covers more than 5,000 years of civilization from many parts of the world, including America, Europe, China, Egypt, other African countries and South America. The museum displays more than just the visual delights of art. It introces you to ancient ways of living. You can visit an Egyptian temple, a fragrant Ming garden, a typical room in an 18th century French house and many other special exhibitions.
Museum of Modern Art (53rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues)
It is amazing that so many great works of art from the late 19th century to the 21st century are housed in the same museum. The collection of Western art includes paintings by such famous artists as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse. A few words of warning: the admission price is not cheap and the museum is often very crowded.
Whitney Museum of American Art (945 Madison Avenue, near 75th Street)
The Whitney holds an excellent collection of contemporary American painting and sculpture. There are no permanent displays in this museum and exhibitions change all the time. Every two years, the Whitney holds a special exhibition of new art by living artists. The museum also shows videos and films by contemporary video artists.
選修6 Unit 2 Poems-Reading
A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotions. Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms.
Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a common type of children's poetry. The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.
A Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird. If that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring. If that diamond ring turns to brass, Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass. If that looking-glass gets broke, Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat. If that billy-goat runs away, Papa's going to buy you another today.
One of the simplest kinds of poems are those like B and C that list things. List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme (like B) while others do not (like C).
B I saw a fish-portal all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire,
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw a coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw g girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.
C Our first football match
We would have won ...
if Jack had scored that goal,
if we'd had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we'd had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn't taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn't stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn't taken it easy,
if we hadn't run out of energy.
We would have won ...
if we'd been better!
Another simple form of poem that students can easily write is the cinquain, a poem made up of five lines. With these, students can convey a strong picture in just a few words. Look at the examples (D and E) on the top of the next page.
D Brother Beautiful, athletic Teasing, shouting, laughing Friend and enemy too Mine
E Summer Sleepy, salty Drying, drooping, dreading Week in, week out Endless
F A fallen blossom Is coming back to the branch. Look, a butterfly!
( by Moritake)
G Snow having melted, The whole village is brimful Of happy children.
(by Issa)
Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables. It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and, like the cinquain , can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using the minimum of words. The two haiku poems (F and G) above are translations from the Japanese.
H Where she awaits her husband On and on the river flows. Never looking back,Transformed into stone.Day by day upon the mountain top,wind and rain revolve.Should the traveller return,this stone would utter speech.,
(by Wang Jian)
Did you know that English speakers also enjoy other forms of Asian poetry - Tang poems from China in particular? A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English. This Tang poem (H) is a translation from the Chinese.
With so many different forms of poetry to choose from, students may eventually want to write poems of their own. It is easier than you might think and certainly worth a try!
I'VE SAVED THE SUMMER
I've saved the summer
And I give it all to you
To hold on winter mornings
When the snow is new.
I've saved some sunlight
If you should ever need
A place away from darkness
Where your mind can feed.
And for myself I've kept your smile
When you were but nineteen,
Till you're older you'll not know
What brave young smiles can mean.
I know no answers
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere
At the bottom of the day.
But if you've a need for love
I'll give you all l own
It might help you down the road
Till you've found your own.
(by Rod McKuen)

譯文
人們寫詩有著各種各樣的理由。有些詩是為了敘事,或者說是描述某件事並給讀者以強烈的印象。而有些詩則是為了傳達某種感情。詩人用許多不同格式的詩來表達自己的情感。本文只談了幾種格式比較簡 單的詩。
孩子們最早學習的英文詩是童謠。像右邊的這首童謠(A)至今仍然是常見的。童謠的語言具體但富 有想像力,這能使小孩子們快樂,因為它們押韻,節奏感強,並較多重復。童謠不一定有什麼意義,甚至 (有的)看來自相矛盾,但是它們容易學,也容易背誦。通過童謠中的文字游戲,孩子們學習了語言。
(A)
小寶寶,別說話,
爸爸給你買個小嘲鳥。
小嘲鳥,不會唱,
爸爸給你買個鑽石戒。
鑽石戒,變成銅,
爸爸給你買個小鏡子。
小鏡子,打破了,
爸爸給你買個小山羊。
小山羊,跑掉了。
爸爸今天再去給你買一隻。
像(B)和(C)這樣的列舉事物的清單詩是詩歌中最簡單的一種。清單詩可長可短,可以重復一些 短語,較為靈活,形成固定句型和詩的節奏。有些清單詩有韻腳(如B) ,但有一些沒有(如C)。
(B)
我看到魚塘在燃燒
我看到魚塘在燃燒,
我看到房子向地主哈腰。
我看到人高一丈八,
我看到茅屋在天郊。
我看到汽球用鋁做,
我看到棺材把死人拋。
我看到兩只麻雀在賽跑,
我看到兩匹馬兒綉花包。
我看到姑娘像只貓,
我看到小貓戴花帽。
我看到有人在一旁瞄,
雖奇怪,但也把實情報。
(C)
我們的第一場球賽
我們本來會得冠….. .
如果傑克踢進了那個球,
如果我們還有幾分鍾,
如果我們訓練得更嚴格,
如果本把球傳給了喬,
如果有大批球迷助威,
如果我死死盯住球,
如果我們頭晚不熬夜,
如果我們沒有放鬆警惕,
如果我們沒有精疲力竭,
我們本來是會得冠......
如果我們能幹得更好!
另外一種學生容易寫的簡體詩是由五行組成的,叫做五行詩。用五行詩,學生可以用少量的詞語傳遞一幅動人的畫面。請看下一頁上端的D和E兩個例子。
(D)
兄弟
愛美,又愛運動
愛鬧,愛叫,又愛笑
是我的朋友
也是我的敵人
(E)
夏天
睏乏,咸澀
干潤,枯萎,恐怖
周而復始 永無止境
徘句詩(Haiku)是一種日本詩,由17個音節組成。它不屬英詩的傳統形式,但是在用英語寫作的人 們中間,這種詩也是很流行的。它容易寫,而且像五行詩一樣,它可以用最少的詞語呈現出一幅清晰的畫面,表達出一種特殊的感情。下面兩首徘句詩(右邊的F和G)就是從日文翻譯出來的。
(F)
落下的花朵
回到了樹枝上。
瞧啊,是個蝴蝶!
(G)
雪兒融化了,
整個村莊充滿著
歡樂的兒童。
(作者: Issa)
(H)
望夫石
王健
望夫處,江悠悠。
化為石,不回頭。
山頭日日風復雨,
行人歸來石應語。

課文翻譯：
The Story of J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter
作品《哈利波特》的天才般的創作者--- J.K.羅琳，是英國魔幻文學的顯赫人物。喬安妮
羅琳在老家---英格蘭的西南部---長大。但是關於《哈利波特》的想法是在從曼徹斯特開往倫敦的延遲的火車上闖入她的腦海的。她把他的想法寫在一個信封的背面。此後她去了葡萄牙教授英語，在那裡，她繼續給第一本《哈利波特》的框架添加血肉。但是她的名字永遠和蘇格蘭的愛丁堡聯系在一起，她生活在那裡並把整個系列的7本書的框架構思出來。
關於J.K.羅琳是怎樣在1990年開始《哈利波特與魔法石》的第一份草稿的，這里有許多趣聞。當她寫作時，她又另外一個麻煩，那就是她還要照看她才幾個月大的小女兒，而且由於他很窮，買不起打字機，只好用手寫。在愛丁堡的溫暖的咖啡館里，她要花好長時間才能喝完一杯咖啡（以便在此期間寫她的小說），因為她沒錢支付家裡的暖氣費。
成功並非一帆風順，羅琳曾經可能放棄。但她意志頑強並克服了所有困難。直到1997年她才完成第一部《哈利波特》小說，由於美國的出版商要求調整書名，這本書也被稱作《哈利波特與魔法石》。
羅琳完成她的第一步小說後，打算每年寫完一部一直到她完成整個系列。實際上，完成這個目標話費她10年的時間。繼第一部成功之後，隨後而來的幾本書的成功也就隨之而來了。第五部《鳳凰社》僅在發行當天就銷售出去700萬冊。
羅琳的寫作風格成了一些批評的對象，但是這些作品之所以重要時因為他們吸引了各個年齡段的讀者，並且在父母和孩子之間建立起了一條特殊的文字紐帶。在一個電腦游戲和電視節目盛行的時代里，它們也再度掀起了對閱讀的興趣。《哈利波特》甚至已經成為學校課程的一部分，這使得學生們特別開心。
《哈利波特》的影響不僅僅局限於講英語的國家。羅琳的小說已被翻譯逾55種語言，估計已經向全世界發行超過2.5億冊。據推測到2005年，羅琳的銀行累計存款已超過十億美元。那是她已是第一位億萬富翁作家。
簡介
《獅子，女巫，魔衣櫥》的創作者---C.S.劉易斯（1898-1963）是英國最偉大的魔幻文學作家之一。露西發現了冰天雪地的納尼亞，在那裡她和她的兩個哥哥，一個姐姐遇見了白女巫。他們也遇見了獅子阿斯蘭，唯一能打敗女巫並把夏天歸還給納尼亞的人。跟隨阿斯蘭，孩子們學會了勇敢和寬恕。他們歷經大喜大悲，最終學到了智慧。他們在納尼亞的時光是最大的冒險，那是每個孩子都夢寐以求的。
《獅子，女巫，魔衣櫥》節選
那是她看到面前有一道光，離它不遠處可以看到魔衣櫥的後面，但走起來卻很遠。有種又涼又軟的東西灑落在她身上。片刻之後，她發現她正站在晚間的樹林中間，積雪踩在腳下，雪片從空中飄來。
露西感到有點害怕，但同時她也感到好奇興奮。她扭頭向後望去，透過黑色的樹干，她仍能看到魔衣櫥的入口處，甚至還能瞥見她走出的那個空房子。（當然，她讓魔衣櫥的門開著，因為她知道把自己關在衣櫥里是件很愚蠢的事情。）廚外看起來仍是白天。露西想：「如果發生了什麼事，我總是可以跑出來的」她開始往前走，伴著腳下咯吱咯吱的積雪聲穿過樹林，走向那邊的亮光處。大約十分鍾後她走到那裡，發現它原來時個燈柱，她不知所措，然後，她聽到有人正啪嗒啪嗒地向她走來。不久之後一個奇怪的人就從樹林那邊走過來，出現在燈光下面。
他比露西略微高一點，因下雪而打著傘，傘上覆蓋著雪。從腰往上，他看起來像個人，但他的腿像羊腿（上面的毛又黑又亮），腳不是人腳而是羊蹄。他還有尾巴，不過起初路西沒有看到，因為舉著傘的手臂巧妙地遮住了他的搖擺以至於看不見。他脖子上長著長長的紅毛，他的皮膚也略帶紅色。他的臉又小又奇怪但卻很好看，鬍子很顯眼，頭發打著卷兒，兩只羊角從卷發里穿出來，長在前額的兩側。他的一隻手，正如我剛才所說的，舉著傘；在另一隻手裡拿著幾只棕黃色的包裹。通過包裹和他身上的雪，他剛才好像去買聖誕禮物了。他是個半人半羊人。但看到露西時，他驚訝得把他的包裹都掉落到地上了。
「我的天哪！」他不禁喊道。
The Lord of the Rings(指環王)
20世紀最著名的魔幻故事之一是托爾金的《指環王》三部曲。這個故事的三個部分都被成功地拍成了電影。故事發生在一個叫做中世紀的世界。人類只是當時存在的生物物種之一。這個世界也存在著精靈族，他們是擁有魔力且永遠不會死掉的高個子的美麗的生靈。有霍比特人，他們像個子矮小的人，居住在山洞中。也有愛小人，他們與小的，醜陋的人相似，居住在深山中。
在《指環王》中，有一個邪惡的叫做索倫的巫師，他擁有巨大的魔力，製造了九枚戒指。任何生靈擁有了其中的一枚戒指就會擁有巨大的魔力。但是索倫製造了一枚戒指——魔戒——它可以控制所有的戒指。擁有這枚戒指的人可以控制整個中世紀。
幸運的是，這枚戒指已經丟失了數百年了。但是後來它被一個霍比特人發現了。索倫已是到這枚魔戒已經被找到了，於是派他的生靈來奪回它。如果他得到了這枚魔戒，索倫將統治整個中世紀，而中世紀也將變成一個充滿黑暗的恐懼的地方。一個善良的巫師甘達夫意識到為了拯救整個中世紀必須摧毀魔戒。為了做到這點，某人必須將魔戒帶入索倫的王國。在那兒，他們必須在曾經製造這枚魔戒的火焰中毀掉它。這三本書講述了在毀掉魔戒的征途上發生的故事。在三部曲中的最後一本書中，在索倫和那些想拯救中世紀的生靈之間展開了一場可怕的戰爭。
許多人認為《指環王》時20世紀最好的英文小說。當然，也有一些人不喜歡讀魔幻小說。但是如果你喜歡，那麼它應該是你必讀的一個故事。
不知道這個是不是。

在第二次世界大戰期間，安妮住在荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是猶太人，所以他們不得不躲藏起來，否則就會被德國的納粹分子抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了25個月之後才被發現。在那段時期，她的日記成了她唯一忠實的朋友。她說：「我不願像大多數人那樣在日記中記流水賬。我要把我的日記當作自己的朋友，我把我的這個朋友叫做基蒂。」現在，來看看安妮自1942年7月起躲進藏身處後的那種心情吧。

Dear kitty,
I wonder if it』s because I haven』t been able to be outdoors for so long that I』ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That』s changed since I was here.
…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn』t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn』t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I』d seen the night face to face…
…Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very sty windows. It』s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.
Yours,
Anne

親愛的基蒂：
我不知道這是不是因為我太久無法出門的緣故，我變得對一切與大自然有關的事物都無比狂熱。我記得非常清楚，以前，湛藍的天空、鳥兒的歌唱、月光和鮮花，從未令我心迷神往過。自從我來到這里之後，這一切都變了。
……比如說，有一天晚上天氣很暖和，我故意熬到晚上11點半都不睡覺，為的就是能獨自好好地看看月亮。但是因為月光太亮了，我都不敢打開窗戶。還有一次，就在五個月以前的一個晚上，我碰巧在樓上，窗戶是開著的，我一直呆到非關窗不可的時候才下樓去。漆黑的雨夜，刮著大風，電閃雷鳴，烏雲滾滾，我完全被這種景象鎮住了。這是我一年半以來第一次親眼目睹的夜晚……
……不幸的是……我只能透過那滿是灰塵的窗簾下那臟兮兮的窗戶看看大自然。只能隔著窗戶看那大自然實在沒意思，因為大自然是需要真正體驗的東西。
你的安妮

THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH
At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.
通向現代英語之路
在16世紀末，大約有五至七百萬人講英語。幾乎所有這些講英語的人都住在英格蘭。在其後的一個世紀中，英格蘭人為征服世界航海到了世界其他一些地方，結果世界的其他地方的人們也開始說英語了。今天，把英語作為自己的第一語言、第二語言或外語來使用的人比以往任何時候都多。
Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don』t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:
British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?
American Amy: Yes, I』d like to come up to your apartment.
以英語作為母語的人，即使他們所講不是同一種英語，他們也能彼此聽懂。請看看這個例子：
英國人貝蒂：來看看我的公寓嗎？
美國人艾米：好的，我來看看你的公寓吧。
So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then graally between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600』s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.
那麼，隨著時間的推移英語為什麼發生了變化呢？實際上，當不同文化相互交流滲透時，所有的語言都會有所發展和變化。開始，英格蘭人在大約公元450年到1150年之間所說的英語與我們今天所說的英語很不一樣。當時的英語更多的是以德語為基礎的，不像我們現在說的英語。後來，大約在公元800年至1150年之間，英語慢慢變得不那麼像德語，因為統治英格蘭的那些人開始是說丹麥語，後來說法語。這些新來的定居者豐富了英語語言，尤其是豐富了英語詞彙。所以到17世紀初的時候，莎士比亞能夠得以使用比以往任何時候都豐富的詞彙。1620年一些英國定居者來到了美洲，後來到了18世紀的時候，一些英國人還被帶到了澳大利亞。英語也就開始在這兩個國家使用。
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
最後到19世紀的時候，英語這種語言就變得穩定了。當時，英語的拼寫發生了兩個很大的變化：先是塞繆爾•約翰遜編寫了他的英語詞典，後是諾亞•韋伯斯特出版了《美國英語詞典》。後者使得美式英語的拼寫有了其獨特的個性。

教學難點 Master the usage of the -ing form as adverbials and properly use it in writing
教學過程
Lead-in: Song appreciation
(1) Play the song Take me to your heart before class.
(2) Start the class with a clip of the song sung by the teacher.
(3) Lead the Ss to notice the -ing form used as adverbials in the lyrics.
This is a warming-up step designed to arouse Ss』 enthusiasm and to come to the point.
Step 1: We Choose
Task 1: Observe the -ing form in each sentence and decide what it refers to.
(reason, result, concession, time, manner, condition)
1. Being very rich, he spends as much money as he likes. (reason)
2. Working hard, you』ll surely succeed. (condition)
3. They sat there, waiting for the beginning of the sports meeting. (manner)
4. Walking on the street, he came across a long-lost friend. (time)
5. The polar bear was not careful enough, falling on the icy ground. (result)
6. Not understanding what you are talking about, I still admire you. (concession)
It is intended to remind Ss that the -ing form can be used as various kinds of adverbials. Ask several Ss to answer and, if necessary, interpret the sentences for them with adverbial clauses.
Task 2: Check the words in red and decide their relation with the subject and the predicate. (A. active B. passive C. meanwhile D. before-after)
Laughing and jumping, he left school.
Having finished his homework, he left school.
Being talked about at that time, he left school.
Having been punished, he left school.
First, let Ss choose the correct relation between the -ing form and the subject and that between the -ing form and the predicate in each sentence. Then lead Ss to sum up the differences among 「doing」, 「having done」, 「being done」 and 「having been done」.
Task 3: Read the sentences aloud and recall the tips.
When the reading is finished, ask Ss how to use the -ing form as adverbials.
It is intended as a transition from 「what」 to 「how」 and the second step is naturally introced.
Step 2: We Change
Task 1: (Group work) Identify the mistakes in the following sentences and change the sentences into correct ones. Discuss your reason.
1. I had a wonderful childhood, travel around the world.
2. When crossed the road, you should be careful.
3. Having not finished his homework, he was punished by his parents.
4. Working hard, your dream will come true.
It is aimed to revise the usage of the -ing form as adverbials. By group discussion, Ss may find it easier to solve the problem. Matters such as non-predicate, relation, conjunction, negative words and logical subject are all involved.
Task 2: (Pair work) Orally change the adverbial clauses or compound sentences into the -ing form as adverbials.
e.g. After we have been informed of Mr. Li』s birthday, we hurried to express our best wishes on the blackboard.
(Notice that only the clause part will be changed: predicate→non-predicate)
Having been informed of Mr. Li』s birthday, we hurried to……
1. Because we hoped to convey our concern for him, we asked Miss Zhu to bring him a card.
2. When we danced together, we felt very excited.
3. Although we had not met him before, we still treated him as an old friend.
4. If you think it over, you will have a good idea.
5. She stood on the stage and played with her hair.
6. He was so humorous that he made us burst into laughter.
It is designed for Ss to put into practice the tips mentioned in the previous task.
Step 3: We Chat
Task 1: Using the correct form of the given verbs, help me to complete the caption of my moment.
Last month, I led my students to join in the oral English competition.
(live) far away from the site, we had to get up early in the morning. (not eat) anything before, I felt hungry. As for the students, though tired, they were still enthusiastic about the coming challenge, (talk and laugh) on the bus. When (arrive) at the site, they were very excited.
(devote) to practicing before, they did a wonderful job in the competition, (bring) glory to our school. As far as I am concerned, (make) great efforts to practice, any of you can also stand out.
It is a revision of the tips mentioned. In addition, it sets an example of how to use the -ing form as adverbials in our daily life.
Task 2: Writing
o Choose a picture to post.
o Write the caption for it.
o Try to use the -ing form as adverbials. (3 minutes)
Ss are asked to choose a picture from five and write the caption for it by using the -ing form as adverbials in 3 minutes. This is to integrate what has been covered and put it into practice.
Task 3: Sharing
o Move around the classroom.
o Share your moment.
o Get 「like」 or 「comment」.
(You may also leave your comment when discovering any grammatical mistake.)
An example is shown to clarify the instruction. Then Ss are given five minutes to share their moments with their classmates. This is a peer proof-reading activity.
Task 4: Presenting
o How many「 likes」 have you got?
o What about 「comments」?
o Who would like to share with the whole class your moment or the comments you got?
This is for several volunteers to present their works and notice the common mistakes when using the -ing form as adverbials.
Step 4: Summary
Summarize what we have learnt today:
o 6 kinds of adverbials
o 4 forms of -ing
o 5 tips
This is to remind Ss of what they have learnt today.
課後習題
