TEXT 1 Mr Bean
Mr Bean is an internationally recognised①comedy character in films and TV series. He has a reputation② for constantly③ encountering④ awkward⑤ situations, which greatly amuses⑥audiences of all nationalities⑦ and cultures 【1】. His humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely⑧ on⑨ body language that is universal⑩ 【2】.
【1】encountering awkward situations是动名词短语作介词for的宾语;which greatly amuses...cultures是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词situations,关系代词在定语从句中作主语。
【2】that rely purely on body language that is universal是定语从句,修饰先行词acts,在此定语从句中又包含一个定语从句that is universal,修饰先行词body language,关系代词在从句中作主语。
One of my favourite episodes was Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant. After being seated at his table 【3】, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, puts it in an envelope and places it on the table. 【4】 After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there 【5】. He opens it to find a birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see 【6】.
【3】动名词短语being seated at his table作介词after的宾语。
【4】本句是简单句,takes out, writes, puts和places构成并列谓语。
【5】as if he did not know it was there是as if引导的方式状语从句。
【6】本句是简单句,opens和puts是并列谓语,to find a birthday card是动词不定式短语作结果状语,for everyone to see是动词不定式的复合结构作目的状语。
【7】本句是简单句,takes,counts和puts构成并列谓语。
【8】until引导时间状语从句;that makes him smile是定语从句,修饰先行词thing,关系代词在从句中作主语;smile是省略to的不定式作宾补。
【9】called“steak tartare”是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰名词dish,dish与call之间是被动关系。
【10】to discover...hamburger是动词不定式短语作状语,表示原因。
【11】it是形式主语,真正的主语是that he finds the taste truly awful; as he is chewing是时间状语从句。
【12】when the waiters ask if everything is all right作介词except的宾语;if everything is all right作动词ask的宾语。
【13】indicating that everything is fine是现在分词短语作伴随状语,逻辑主语即主句主语he与indicate是主谓关系。
【14】hiding the raw meat是动名词短语作宾语,前面省略了介词in; anywhere he can reach是地点状语从句,anywhere相当于连词。
【15】so…that…“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句;sitting near him是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰woman,woman与sit之间是逻辑主谓关系。
【16】to watch Mr Bean on TV, to meet someone like him in real life和to have dinner with him都是动词不定武短语作宾语。
课文1 憨豆先生
憨豆先生是一个国际知名的影视喜剧人物。他的著名之处在于总是遇到尴尬的情境,这使来自不同国家、不同文化背景的观众都觉得非常好笑。憨豆先生的幽默总是通过一连串简单、可笑的动作清晰地表达出来,完全依靠肢体语言这一全世界都能理解的方式(普遍的)。
我喜欢的一集是憨豆先生在一家高档餐厅用餐的故事。在餐厅里就座后,憨豆先生拿出一张卡片,在上面写了几个字,塞进信封,放在桌子上。过了一会儿,他再看那个信封,露出惊讶的表情,好像完全不知道它在那里。打开信封后,发现是张生日贺卡,他便高兴地把贺卡放在桌上向大家炫耀起来。
看菜单时,憨豆先生脸上立刻露出震惊的表情。他把钱包里所有的钱都拿出来,数了数,放进碟子里。他担心地一会儿看看菜单,一会儿看看钱,最终找到了一种食物,脸上露出了微笑。然后他点了一道“鞑靼牛排”可上菜的时候,憨豆先生惊讶地发现“鞑靼牛排”其实就是生肉馅。他尝了尝,从他那咀嚼的表情就能清晰地看出,这东西一点都不好吃。他无法掩饰自己的感觉,除了在服务员问他是否一切满意时。服务员问他的时候,他笑着点点头,装作一切都好的样子。然而,当服务员没有注意的时候,他却忙着把生肉藏在他能够到的任何地方——糖碗、小花瓶、小圆面包里和盘子下面。最后他无计可施,居然把一部分生肉藏在旁边女士的钱包里,塞进餐厅小提琴手的裤子里!
我喜欢看电视里的憨豆先生,却不希望在现实生活中遇到像他这样的人,更不想和他共进晚餐!

TEXT 2 The Contemporary① Chaplin
Rowan Atkinson② is an English actor, comedian③ and screenwriter④. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is mostly⑤ famous for⑥ many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward, clumsy⑦, but always amusing⑧ Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation⑨, then you are in for⑩ a surprise. On the contrary , he is nothing like Mr Bean.
Rowan was born on 6 January, 1955. He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers. His father was very strict and did not believe in the value of television.
课文2 当代卓别林
罗温·艾金森,英国喜剧演员、编剧。艾金森先生在英国的名气主要源于他参演了很多成功的影视剧。但在国际上,我们所熟悉的他是那个尴尬、笨拙,但总能把人逗乐的憨豆先生。如果你认为罗温·艾金森和他扮演的著名的憨豆先生角色一样(作品),那你一定会感到惊讶。相反,他本人实际上一点儿也不像憨豆先生。
罗温出生于1955年1月6日,随父母在农场长大,家中有三个哥哥。他的父亲非常严厉,不相信电视的价值。
罗温的学术生涯非常成功。他13岁就获得了一所寄宿学校的奖学金,之后就读于纽卡斯尔大学,并以专业第一名的优异成绩毕业(获得)。随后,他又取得了牛津大学电机工程硕士学位。这也许是他为什么那么喜欢跑车,而且收藏了很多跑车的原因吧。
罗温小时候有口吃的毛病,为了讲话更清楚,他说话格外仔细。这可能也是他所塑造的一些角色讲话方式与众不同的原因。
早在小学时,罗温就表现出了表演天赋,但直到大学毕业,他才决定当一名演员。1976年的一天发生了一件关键的事情,闲玩之中他对着镜子做鬼脸。后来他说,“我发现了自己的另一副面孔。”
英国广播公司电视台的制片人约翰·劳埃德说,遇到这样的天才很难得,与罗温的合作使他相信罗温会比查理·卓别林更出名。

surprised 语气较上述两个词弱,只表示“出乎意料的惊异”
对to one's astonishment(令某人惊讶的是)解释
在介词to前面加much来加强程度;在情感类名词前用great, deep等形容词修饰。用于这一结构的通常是一些表示高兴、惊讶、悲伤、满意、失望、遗憾等情感的名词。常见的有:astonishment (惊讶),amazement (惊愕),annoyance (烦恼,恼火),delight (高兴),dismay (惊愕、丧气),disappointment (失望),joy (高兴),relief (欣慰,释然),regret(遗憾),surprise (惊讶),satisfaction (满意),sorrow (悲伤)等。

易混辨析:
opposite/contrary
opposite指“对面的”,表示处于相对位置,不一定有对抗的含义,强调分离。contrary指“对立的”,常有对抗的意思,强调冲突。

③为了达到我们的目标,我们需要更努力。(attain)
_____________________________________________________
attainable
unattainable
To attain our goal, we need to make more efforts.
误区警示:
attain用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语,用作不及物动词时常与介词to连用,介词宾语多为名望、职务、权力、知识或某种理想的境界等。
如:attain (to) the age of 25届满二十五。
attain的近义词有obtain, acquire, get, earn, gain等。
acquire/obtain/attain/gain的辨析
acquire指经过不懈努力才获得的技术、知识等抽象的东西。
obtain指经过努力或付出代价或经过很长时间得到所需要的东西。
attain正式用语,指经过艰苦努力才使人达到完美境地。

第三版块:典型句式
1.现在分词作状语
(教材P15)When this happens, he smiles and nods, indicating that everything is fine.当这种情况发生时,他微笑着点头,表示一切都很好。
[句式分析] When引导时间状语从句,he为主句主语,smiles and nods是并列谓语。
现在分词短语indicating that everything is fine作状语。
现在分词(短语)作伴随状语
现在分词是分词的一种,由“动词原形+ ing”构成。现在分词(短语)作状语,可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、方式、让步、伴随等,其逻辑主语一般是整个句子的主语,两者之间为主谓关系。现在分词(短语)作伴随状语时,其表示的动作伴随句子谓语动词所表示的动作发生,即句子谓语所表示的动作为主要动作,分词(短语)所表示的动作作伴随性的次要动作,对谓语所表示的动作加以说明或作陪衬。
All night long he lay awake on the bed thinking of the problem.

⑧________________ (praise) for his job, Tom worked harder.
looking
finding
striking
lecturing
Writing
allowing
Not having talked
Having been praised
特别注意:
现在分词时态和语态的变化
当现在分词(短语)表示的动作先于谓语动词所表示的动作发生时,应用现在分词的完成式;当现在分词(短语)表示的动作与主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系且表示正在进行的时候,应用其被动式。
Having finished his work, he went home.完成了工作,他就回家了。(分词短语所表示的动作先于谓语动词所表示的动作发生,用完成式)
Being asked to answer the question, he stood up.被要求回答这个问题,他站了起来。(分词短语所表示的动作与主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系且分词短语所表示的动作正在进行,用被动式)
2.并列谓语动词
(教材P14)...Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, puts it in an envelope and places it on the table.
……憨豆先生拿出一张卡片,在上面写了几个字,塞进信封,放在桌子上。
(1)并列谓语动词就是主语发出的几个一连串的动作,往往用and连接;
(2)并列谓语动词时态结构必须一致。

医生检查了他流血的腿,告诉他他需要立即动手术。

⑥She set out soon after dark and ________ (arrive) home an hour later.
drove
killing
paid
leading
sat
arrived
误区警示:
并列谓语动词必须用连词连接,若没有连词,则要用非谓语动词。
3.This/That/It is why...这/那/它就是……的原因。
(教材P15)This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking.这可能也是他所塑造的一些角色讲话方式与众不同的原因。
[句式分析] 本句是一个复合句,why引导表语从句。

why
because

that
This was because
This was why
The reason why we were astonished was that
归纳拓展:
(1)This/That/It is why...“这/那/它就是……的原因”,why引导的从句说明前面某件事情的结果;
(2)This/That/It is because...
“这/那/它是因为……”,because引导的从句说明前面某件事情的原因;
(3)The reason why... is that...“……的原因是……”,why引导的是定语从句,that引导的是表语从句,不要错用成because。
4.so...that引导的状语
(教材P15)He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist!
最后他如此绝望,甚至把一些藏在坐在他旁边的一位女士的钱包里,还把一些扔进了餐厅小提琴手的裤子里!

特别注意:
(1)在该句式中,so.../such...放在句首时,主句部分要用倒装。
(2)so many/few如此多/少和so much/little在英语中是固定搭配,在使用中要注意,不要用错。如:
①He made so many mistakes in his homework that he got punished by the teather.
②He made so few mistakes in the exam that he got almost full marks.
③He made so much progress that the teacher praised him a lot.
④There is so little food left for him that he has to go out to buy some.

(教材P15)As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor.早在小学时,罗温就表现出了表演天赋,但直到上大学,他才决定当一名演员。
[句式分析] 本句中包含一个“It was/is+被强调部分+that”构成的强调句型,强调的是时间状语only later at university。
强调句型的基本结构:It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他部分。该句型可以强调句子的主语、宾语、状语等,但不能强调谓语。使用时应注意:
(1)构成强调句的It本身没有词义,但不能用其他词代替。
(2)被强调部分指人时用that/who均可,其他情况用that。
(3)被强调部分无论是单数还是复数,It后的be动词均用单数形式,即用is或was。用is还是was要根据原句的时态来确定。
It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.[谚]唯有思想,非地点或环境,方能决定人之苦乐。(强调主语)
It was in the street that I saw a young man carrying a baby across the road.

归纳拓展:
强调句型的特殊形式:
(1)特殊疑问句式:特殊疑问词(被强调部分)+is/was it+that+句子其他部分?
(2)一般疑问句式:Is/Was it+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他部分?
(3)not...until...结构的强调句型:It is/was not until...that+句子其他部分。
语境助记:
Bach died in 1750, but it was not until the early 19th century that his musical gift was fully recognised.巴赫于1750年去世,但直到19世纪初他的音乐天赋才完全得到认可。
特别提醒:
判断一个句子是否是强调句的方法:把句子中的“It is/was”和“that/who”去掉,剩余部分若结构完整、意义明确,则为强调句型,否则就不是。
