每日口语|经典视听说教材《走遍美国》013

来自:小芳老师

走遍美国是我认为最优秀的口语教材之一,由美国新闻总署赞助,美国麦克米伦公司制作。在数十位英语专家和作者通力合作之下,费了8年(1983-1991)的时间,才制作完成这部划时代的巨作。虽然教材有点久远,但是对于练习口语还是非常的有帮助,大家可以通过以下步骤进行学习。

1. 先看视频,了解大致情节。

2. 再听音频,盲听音频3-5遍,大致听懂。

3. 通过文本,学通全部内容。

4. 再听音频,模仿跟读练习语音和口语。

5. 盲听音频,最后盲听音频尽可能多遍,听出画面感。

注:需要每天坚持,不能三天打鱼,两天晒网

Transcript

ACT 1-1  “反正也不是一场重要的比赛。

Robbie: Hi, Grandpa.

Grandpa: Hi, Robbie.

Robbie: Can I help?

Grandpa: Yes, indeed. Hand me two eggs from the refrigerator, and I'll make you two fried eggs.

Robbie: How about some bacon?

Grandpa: I made enough for an army. You going to the baseball game today? It's a perfect day for it - a little cloudy but nice and warm.

Robbie: Dad and I were planning to go to the game, but he has to work today, and my friends don't want to go. It's not an important game, anyway.

Grandpa: Do you have any other plans for the day?

Robbie: I'll work on my computer. I have a new math program, and I want to learn how to use it.

Grandpa: Maybe you can teach me how to work on a computer someday.

Robbie: Anytime. It's really easy, but, like anything, you need to work at it, Grandpa.


ACT 1-2  “也许你爸爸和我可以带你去钓鱼”

Robbie: This bacon is great. I love crispy bacon.

Grandpa: Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?

Robbie: Nothing much.

Grandpa: Well, maybe your dad and I could take you fishing with us.

Robbie: I'd like that, but…

Grandpa: But what?

Robbie: But Dad is always so busy.

Grandpa: Well, can you come fishing with me tomorrow?

Robbie: Sure, I can.

Grandpa: Robbie says you can't take him to the game today.

Philip: I really feel bad about it, but they need me at the hospital today, in the children's ward.

Grandpa: I understand.

Philip: Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.

Grandpa: Definitely. We should. You and Robbie and me. Remember our first fishing trip?

Philip: I sure do…. Well, I've got to run, Dad. See you later.


ACT 1-3  “我只是在当个好爷爷而已。

Philip: Going fishing?

Grandpa: I'm thinking about it. So, how's work?

Philip: Oh, the usual problems.
