高中英语新教材的新语言现象
city.(SBI,P24)
How long are the travellers staying in this country?(SBI,P75)
长期以来,中学课本对延续动词的进行体表将来用法极少涉及,一般语法书
也只谈及某些短暂动词的进行 体可表将来,所以一些教师对这两句中延续动词
visit和stay的进行体表将来感到困惑。
进行体表将来多见于短暂性动词,但是象
dine,work,sleep,stay,play,do,have,wear等延续性动词的进行 体也可表示将
来。例如:
They're having a holiday next Monday.
What clothes are you wearing tomorrow?
在现代英语中,特别是在美国口语中,凡能够表示预先计划或安排的动作的
动词,无论是短暂性的还是延 续性的,都可以用进行体来表示将来。例如:
I'm told you are going away.Are you travelling very far?
I'm reading a paper tomorrow.
This afternoon I'm teaching some of our scouts how the compass works.
6.I suggest that you don't ask him home for the vacation.(SBI,P55)
过去许多参考资料皆执一词:suggest表"建议"时,其后宾语从句谓语要
用(should)do形式。本人认为 这条规则现在应该全面地表述为:多用(should)
do形式,也可根据时态呼应或具体情况采用其他形式。例如 :
I suggested that she might come to my office and have a talk withme.
I suggest that the door is painted light blue.
这样我们便能理解新教材中suggest后为什
么用了you don't ask…这样的
谓语形式。
7.A:I was going to play volleyball on Monday,but I can't now.
B:I'm sorry./Bad luck!/What a pity!(SBI,P56)
关于交际常识有些书上有这样的表述:听到对方不能满足自己要求或不能践
约之类的话时,不能说I'm so rry,而应该说:What a pity/shame!/Bad luck!
如有这样的单项选择题:
A:I'd like to go with you,but I'm busy with my examinations thesedays.
B:________
A.I'm sorry. B.Really?
C.What a pity! D.Never mind.
(给出的正确答案为C,而将完全正确的A项定为错误答案。)
此外,有的书上还对"I'm sorry…"的使用作了这样的说明:它用来表达
歉意;应答对方告知的不幸、不 悦、生病之类的事。现在我们还应该添上一条:
应答对方告知的一些听来有失望感的话。这样我们对这句话的 使用场合就有了
全面的认识,从而对新课本所出现的这种新语言现象就能理解和接受了。*
