中级美国英语Lesson3:Manymuch和therebe

第三课　Many, much 和 there be
一.本课要点及示例

在这课里我们要学习怎么用many, m-a-n-y, many 跟 much, m-u-c-h, much.这两个 字都有 "很多" 的意思, 可是用法不同. 另外我们还要学习用 there is 跟 there are 做句子.

首先还是请你听一段对话, 内容是说 Henry 跟 Kate 的儿子 Peter 要参加学校办 的夏季旅行团到纽约去玩. 他问妈妈应该带几个箱子, 带多少钱等等问题. 我们 还是先用正常速度把这段会话念一遍, 请你注意英文老师的发音和声调:

M: Mom, I'm going to spend two weeks in New York this summer.

F: That's wonderful!

M: How many suitcases do I have to take?

F: Take two - a big one and a small one.

M: How much money do I need to take?

F: About three hundred dollars.

M: Are there many interesting places in New York?

F: Yes,there are a lot of museums and beautiful churches.

现在我们用慢速度再把这段对话念一遍给你听:

M: Mom, I'm going to spend two weeks in New York this summer.

F: That's wonderful!

M: How many suitcases do I have to take?

F: Take two - a big one and a small one.

M: How much money do I need to take?

F: About three hundred dollars.

M: Are there many interesting places in New York?

F: Yes, there are a lot of museums and beautiful churches.

刚才那段话, 不知道你听懂了多少? 现在我再把对话里有 many, much, 跟 there are 的句子挑出来, 用慢速度念一遍:

M: How many suitcases do I have to take?

M: How much money do I need to take?

M: Are there many interesting places in New York?

F: Yes,there are a lot of museums and beautiful churches.

二.MANY和NUCH

下面我们看看什么时候用many, 什么时候用much. 刚才我说过这两个字的意思 都是 "很多", 相当于 a lot of 这个词组, 可是在用法上的区别是凡是指可以数的 东西就用many, 指不可以数的或是统称性的名词就用 much. 一般说来 many 跟 much 多半是用在疑问句和否定句里, 而 a lot of 则不受限制.

现在我们来作一组练习, 内容都是说到 Peter 的朋友问他关于到纽约去的事情.

请注意朋友提出的问句用的都是 many, 而 Peter 都是用 a lot of 作肯定的回答.

好, 现在我们开始练习. 请你每听一句就跟着重复.

F: Are you going to New York with many friends?

M: Yes, I'm going to New York with a lot of friends.

F: Are you going to visit many interesting places in New York?

M: Yes, I'm going to visit a lot of interesting places.

F: Are you going to eat in many restaurants?

M: Yes, I'm going to eat in a lot of restaurants.

F: Are you going to write many letters to your parents?

M: Yes, I'm going to write a lot of letters to my parents.

下面一组练习谈的还是 Peter 到纽约的事情. 这次朋友用的是 a lot of 来提出问 句, 可是 Peter 用 much 作否定的答覆. 还是请你听一句, 重复一句.

F: Do you need a lot of time to pack?

M: No, I don't need much time to pack.

F: Do you plan to take a lot of money with you to New York?

M: No, I don't plan to take much money with me to New York.

F: Do you want to spend a lot of time shopping in New York?

M: No, I don't want to spend much time shopping in New York.

F: Do you plan to spend a lot of money in New York?

M: No, I don't plan to spend much money in New York.
