Good morning! I’m Lara, welcome to my channel. 大家早上好,我是Lara,欢迎来到我们的晨读栏目。
We’ve got a great lesson today all about real English.Exactly, English that you hear in movies and TV shows.OK, speaking of movies, today’s podcast takes place at the movies.Exactly. And that’s why it’s so fun today.Let’s just listen to this dialogue and we’ll be back later to explain it. A: Those people in front of us are making so much noise. It’s so inconsiderate! 我们前面的这些人真是太吵闹了。真的不考虑别人!
B: Don’t worry about it; It’s not such a big deal. 别太在意。这不是什么大事情。
A: Oh... I can’t hear a thing! Excuse me, can you keep it down? 噢。。。我听不清楚!不好意思,你们能小声点吗?
C: Sure, sorry about that! 当然,实在不好意思! A: Someone’s phone is ringing! 有人电话响了!
B: Honey, I think it’s your phone. Did you forget to switch it off? 亲爱的,我想是你的电话。你是不是忘记调静音了呢?
A: Oh, no! You’re right. That’s so embarrassing! 哦,不!你是对的。这太尴尬了!
C: Do you mind keeping it down? I’m trying to watch a movie here! 能麻烦你小声点吗?我正在看电影呢! 辅元连读:辅音+元音 一般情况下, 前一个单词词尾为辅音,后一个单词开头为元音,这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。 文章中:Do you mind keeping it down? 文章中:Don’t worry about it.辅元连读:辅音+半元音 如果前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以半元音开头,此时也要连读。文章中:Did you forget to switch it off?
In today’s vocabulary preview, we have several words. And the first word is “inconsiderate”. 今天的词汇预览有几个词汇,第一个词是“不体贴的”。 1. inconsiderate adj. [.ɪnkən'sɪdərət] 不为别人着想的;不体谅别人的;考虑不周的Right. So, for example, yesterday I was on the subway and it was full.And an old lady was standing there and no one got up to give her their seats.That was pretty inconsiderate. 真是太不体贴了。 "Don’t make so much noise." she said to the children.3. embarrassing adj. [ɪmˈbærəsɪŋ] 使人害羞的(或难堪的、惭愧的)It was embarrassing to Sam to meet her.Movies give delight to millions of people. This is our most important part for today’s lesson.
