我也来怀旧之《英语学习篇 V 2.0 》,这头一句话,相信不少朋友还是能背出来。

The Artist

Long, long ago there live a king. He loved horses. One day he asked an artist to draw him a beautiful horse. The artist said, “All right, but you must wait.” So the king waited. He waited and waited. At last, after a year he could not wait any longer. He went to see the artist himself.

Quickly the artist brought out paper and a brush. In five minutes he finished drawing a very beautiful horse. The king was angry. “You can draw a good horse in five minutes, yet you kept me waiting for a year. Why?”

“Come with me, please,” said the artist. They went to the artist’s workroom. There the king saw piles and piles of paper. On every piece of paper was a picture of a horse. “It took me more than a year to learn to draw a beautiful horse in five minutes,” the artist said.

我的问题又来了:P,最后一段里,这句

On every piece of paper was a picture of a horse.

是不是应该加个 there 呀?

    The New School Year

    It’s September, and we’re back at school. It’s good to see all my teachers and friends again. They all look fine.

    We’re in Grade Two this year. We’re going to have a new subject – physics. I hear physics isn’t easy. I’m going to work hard at it. I’m not very good at maths, but Wei Fang says she’s going to help me. I think I can do better than last year.

    I like English very much. I always work hard at it. This year I’m going to go more speaking. Zhang Hong likes English too, but he needs help. I’m going to help him.

    This term I’m going to work for the wall-newspaper. My classmates say I draw well, and my handwriting is good. It’s interesting work, and I like it.

    I’m going to do my best this year.

    * * * * * * *

    个人感觉:短短的文中出现“work hard”两次,令我感觉不太舒服。

    另外请朋友们帮忙看看这句

    It’s interesting work, and I like it.

    是不是缺个冠词。瘦猪:你有空请帮忙确定一下,你是权威嘛。
    • 来自初二课文?It’s interesting work, and I like it. 是缺个冠词an。
      • 是,《初级中学课本》,第三册,人民教育出版社中小学外语编辑室英语组编,封底上还说:北京外国语学院邓炎昌教授审订。
      • WORK不是不可数吗?
    • 看来蛋泥要挑战中国的英文教育了, 哈哈
    • I'm going to save it into Danny's folder.
      • 别介。不是我的作品,转来的不算。不过我也有苦劳呀,我可是照着书一个字一个字打出来的。:P

      • 初中英语课文里是: there was a little monkey....
      • 这是个到装句, 强调介词短语部分,不需要THERE. (正常顺序:A picture of a horse was on every piece of paper.)
      • 1) work是不可数名词,不能加不定冠词“a”。2) 倒装。有时因为句子的主语比较长,或是为了强调表语,或是为了更紧密地与上文衔接,常将表语放在句首,同时颠倒主语和谓语动词的位置。例如
        On the rostrum were portraits of Chairman Mao and Chairman Hua, with red flags on either side.
        主席台上悬挂着毛主席和华主席的画像,画像两边掛着红旗。

        There be只是倒装结构的一种。
      • 竞猜竞猜!我猜《英语学习篇 V 3.0 》是不是该轮到著名的“Carl Marx was born in Germany……”了?:P
        • Karl Marx
          • 哼!一看你就是没学过我们全日制高中一年级英语课文的同学。那篇课文的题目是《How Carl Marx Learn Foreign Language 》。B-)
            • 瘦猪是对的,您记错了。我学过并教过这一课。
              • 我老觉得您的洋文比我好多了...
                • 你这个家伙,起什么哄!我们都应该向你学习啊。
                • 9494,(我也起起哄)
                  • 祝贺你再就业成功!
                    • 谢谢,本周三就找老板聊聊。
              • 哎呀,欺负瘦猪未遂。:P
                • 这叫搬...砸... :-P
          • Karl, 或Carl 都可以, Carl 是Karl的异体.
        • .... and German was his native language.
          • 尽管课文背得熟,可直到现在,仍然经常将德国说成GERMAN。
        • 当然是Carl Marx,没错!
          • 有请GOOGLE大仙,HOHO
            • 也请猪狗大仙,呵呵
              • 现任加拿大总理可被翻成“克雷蒂安”或“克理靖”或“克里田”或……但我清楚地记得当年的课本是印成Carl的
                • 见#662820
        • hehe.茴香豆有几种写法? 。
    • 就是这种不伦不类的下三烂“中国式英语”误人子弟,培养出好几代自称过10级英语却在鬼老面前象个呆头鹅一样的所谓移民“人才”。
      • 同意。我的一个邻居就是个教了几十年中式英语的教授,遇到来访的美国教授,听不懂,说不出。还说老美不会说英语。他教出的学生能比他强多少?
        • 还有一个例子:前驻美大使李肇新,英语专业的研究生,许国璋的弟子。中美撞机后上TALK SHOW。真的让人见识到了那种英语教学的“成果”。
    • 该句正确,不缺冠词。学英语的中国人都会有这种感觉,尤其在写的时候,常在不需用THE的地方用THE。
      • 同感
