中级美国英语Lesson31:虚词it的用法[一]

第三十一课　虚词 it 的用法（一）
一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们学习虚词 it, i-t, it 的用法, 比方: "买房子不容易" It isn't easy to buy a house. "买房屋保险是必需的" It's necessary to buy house insurance等 等. 另外我们要学习许多有关买卖房屋的词汇.

现在我们来听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说亨利跟凯特谈起了邻居卖房子的 事情. 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.

F: Henry, the Fishers finally sold their house.

M: Well, it's good to hear that.

F: It hasn't been easy to sell a house these days. I was worried.

M: So was I. And the Fishers were so anxious to move. Did they get their price?

F: They got five thousand dollars less than they were asking for the house.

M: It isn't bad. It's expected to get less than what is asked.

下面我请英文老师把整段对话再用慢速度念一遍, 请你注意听.

F: Henry, the Fishers finally sold their house.

M: Well, it's good to hear that.

F: It hasn't been easy to sell a house these days. I was worried.

M: So was I. And the Fishers were so anxious to move. Did they get their price?

F: They got five thousand dollars less than they were asking for the house.

M: It isn't bad. It's expected to get less than what is asked.

现在老师把包含了it 的句子用慢速度再念一遍给你听.

M: It's good to hear that.

F: It hasn't been easy to sell a house these days.

M: It's expected to get less than what is asked.

二.IT

听了上面几个句子, 我想你已经注意到 it 的用法. 比方 "拥有一幢房子很困难" It's difficult to own a house. 在这个句子里 it 指的就是 to own a house.

现在我们作一组练习, 学学这种用法. 练习里的句子都是跟买房子, 租公寓有 关系的. 练习的作法是老师念一个句子,接着老师给你一个动词词组, 比方 "买 公寓" to purchase a condominium, 老师也可能给你一个形容词, 比方 "经济实 惠" economical, 请你把听到的代换到句子里.

M: It's difficult to own a house.

M: purchase a home

F: It's difficult to purchase a home.

M: costly

F: It's costly to purchase a home.

M: purchase a condominium

F: It's costly to purchase a condominium.

M: practical

F: It's practical to purchase a condominium.

M: economical

F: It's economical to purchase a condominium.

M: rent an apartment

F: It's economical to rent an apartment.

M: common

F: It's common to rent an apartment.

我希望刚才那组练习你都作对了. 下面我们再作一组练习, 用刚才那种句子构 造学学买房子或是租房子应该注意的事情, 比方 "选择合适的地点" select the right location, "有好邻居" have good neighbors, "有个讲理的房东" have a reasonable landlord 等等. 练习的作法是老师提出一个问题, 请你作肯定的答 覆. 每作完一句还是请你听老师念正确答案.

F: Yes, it is important to select the right location.

M: Is it important to live in a good neighborhood?
