【What】“Neither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple”是一篇小品文,以幽默、风趣的笔触例举并评价了英语中让学习者迷惑不解的“疯狂”现象,如hamburger(汉堡包)里面没有ham(火腿)、回到家里不会“晕家”(homesick)、shameless behaviors(无耻行为)和shameful behaviors(可耻行为)看似相反却是一回事等,从而反映了英语的趣味性、多样性、创造性和吸引力。 【Why】引导学生深入思考英语的特点,感受英语语言的幽默、“疯狂”和创意,激发学生对英语学习的兴趣。 【How】该文是一篇典型的小品文,语言风趣幽默,以作者与儿子关于英语词汇的讨论引入话题,通过列举大量的例子引导读者发现和思考英语表达中的有趣现象。该文信息比较零散,提到的语言现象涉及词汇构成、词义判断、缩略词、固定搭配和一词多义等方面。文章以最后一个例子“wind up my watch(给手表上紧发条)”和“wind up this passage(将本文收尾)”巧妙收尾,给读者留下充分的思考和回味空间,进一步展示了英语的趣味性和创造性。
