課堂教案:
Thanks for coming to class today! Let's start with some slang.
歡迎來到今天的課,讓我們從俚語開始吧。
We have two that both use the word "cut". But there are no scissors involved in either of these meanings.
我們有兩個包含“切”的俚語。但是這里面的任何一個都沒有包含剪刀。
One is called "cut it out", and the other one is "not cut out for this".
一個叫做“cut it out”,另外一個叫“not cut out for this”。
Let’s talk about cutting something out.
讓我們討論cut it out。
When you say, "Please, Alex, cut it out". You are asking Alex to stop doing something.
當(dāng)你說,“Alex,請你cut it out”。你是在讓他停止做一件事情。
Basically when you say "cut it out", you don't like what someone is doing.
當(dāng)你說“cut it out”的時候,你不喜歡某人在做的事情。
They might not be prepared or capable of completing the job they are doing.
他們或許沒有準(zhǔn)備好或者沒有能力去做這件事。
What I like to think of is "cut it out" means to cut your behavior off, so that you can’t keep going, it’s stopped.
當(dāng)我想“cut it out”的時候,意思是把你的舉止切斷,這樣你就得停下來了。
Meanwhile, "not cut out for this" means you are not prepared for something, or you are not really the kind of person who should be doing the job.
它的意思是你沒有準(zhǔn)備好去做一件事情,“Not cut out for this”或者你不屬于應(yīng)該去做這件事的人群。
For example, if you’ve never sung or danced a day in your life and Lady Gaga asked you to perform with her, then you could say, "Sorry, but I'm not cut out for this".
如果你從來沒有唱過歌跳過舞,嘎嘎小姐邀請你和她一起表演,你可以說“不好意思,我不是這塊料”。
What I'd like to think of is a piece of paper and if you cut out a certain shape that shape is good for doing something.
我會去把它想成一張紙,然后你在上面剪一個形狀,這個形狀適合做一件事情。
When you are trying to complete a certain task you might need paper that of a certain shape. Other shapes of paper won’t work.
當(dāng)你需要完成一件事的時候,你需要一張有合適形狀的紙,其他形狀的都不可以。
So that’s what I think of when I think of the slang "cut out for this".
所以這就是當(dāng)我遇到俚語“cut out for this”時想到的。
You need the right shape or the right person for a task.
你需要合適的形狀或者人去完成一件事。
The ways to use those slangs are different.
這兩個俚語的使用方式不一樣。
The first one, “cut it out”, is a command.
“Cut it out”是一個命令。
You are asking someone to cut it out, or saying you wish someone would do this.
當(dāng)你告訴一個人“cut it out”.或者說你希望別的人來做這件事。
You wish they would stop doing what they are doing.
你希望一個人可以停止去做現(xiàn)在在做的事情。
The second one, "not cut out for this" is a description.
“Not cut out for this”是一個描述方式。
You are saying a person is not cut out for this or even a thing is not cut out for the task you are trying to accomplish.
可以用來描述一個人,或者一個物體不合適來完成某件事情。
So you can say, "I am not cut out for this job"or "Thomas is not cut out to be a waiter because he hates taking orders from people"
你可以說,“我不是這塊料”或者“托馬斯不是做服務(wù)生的料,因為他討厭受人指使”。
Our sentence structure for today has a funny example. See if you can catch the structure "The greater the number of people who want to go to the show the more tickets we are going to have to print".
我們今天的句型比較有意思,來看看吧,“如果有更多的人去看節(jié)目,我們需要印更多的票”。
The greater the number of A, the more B will occur.
如果有更多的A,更多的B就會發(fā)生。
Here’s another example "The greater the effort, the better the sense of accomplishment at the end of a task".
另外一個例子是“如果付出更多,那么完成一件事情的時候會有更多的成就感”。
So you are saying that the more you have of A, the more you will have of B.
也就是當(dāng)你有更多的A,你也會有更多的B。
One more example"The greater the size of a car, the more gas is necessary to get around".
還有一個例子“一輛車的體積越大,駕駛時需要的油也越多”。
Why don't you try making a sentence of your own with this structure?
你也來試試吧?
Thank you for coming to class today.I hope you learned something and I hope you had fun.
謝謝來到今天的課程。我希望你學(xué)到了一些知識。
If you have any questions, or if you have any suggestions or if you just want to try out the structure, follow me on Weibo.
如果你有任何問題和建議,或者想嘗試一下句型,那就來微博關(guān)注我吧。
If you try the sentence structure, we will correct your sentence for you.
如果你嘗試了句型,我們會幫你校正你的句子。
Thank you for coming to class, and see you tomorrow.
