B1U6 Reading, Grammar, & Exercises

Reading P1
When it comes to sports competitions3, you may think of the Olympicsž. However, not all competitions are so serious. The following two examples show a “healthy” sense4 of humor5. 說到運動競賽,你可能會想到奧林匹克運動會。然而,並非所有的比賽都如此嚴肅。以下兩個例子展現了「健康的」幽默感。
1 When it comes to sports competitions, you may think of the Olympics.
= Speaking of sports competitions, the Olympics may come to your mind.
2 However, not all competitions are so serious.
= Yet, some competitions are not so serious.
not all 並非全部,為部分否定的句型。類似用法還有not every, not always 等。
SPP 3: Not all + N…   Not all of N…
²      此為部分否定的句型,表「並非所有」。
²      not all後加名詞時,all為形容詞。not all of後加名詞時,all為代名詞。兩者意思相同。
However, not all competitions are so serious.
(然而,並非所有的競賽都如此嚴肅。)
Not all of us were invited to the party.
(並非我們所有人都受邀參加派對。)
3 The following two examples show a “healthy” sense of humor.
1. The following (adj.) + 名詞,表下列的事物,但 the following 亦可為代名詞。此時句中動詞單複數,則視其後所代表事物的名詞來決定。
• The following is a name list.
• The following are the names of my wedding guests.
2. healthy 在此有雙關語,故有引號。一來表示健康的運動競賽,再者表示 crazy contest 雖然瘋狂,但卻是健康幽默的。
Reading P2
The first event6 is the International7 Birdman in Englandž. It began in 1971. It is held in mid-August every year and attracts8 an audience of tens of thousands. 第一項比賽是在英格蘭的國際鳥人大賽。它在1971 年第一次舉辦。每一年在八月中舉行,吸引了數萬名觀眾前來。
4 It is held in mid-August every year and attracts an audience of tens of thousands.
1. be held 舉辦 = take place
2. mid-August 八月中。八月初則用 early August,八月底即 late August
3. audience為集合名詞,要表示觀眾數量時,可用an audience of + 數量,或數量 + in the audience
• There were 30,000 people in the audience.
4. tens of thousands 指數以萬計的,而hundreds of thousands 指數十萬計的。
SPP 1: S + be + P.P. (+ by O)
²      此句型表示「被……、遭受到……」。
²      I ate the sandwich.為例,原來主詞是I,受詞是the sandwich;當the sandwich移到句首成為主詞,則動詞需改為被動,變成was eaten,最後加上by me表示動作由「我」完成。所以全句是The sandwich was eaten by me.
²      be動詞應隨時態變化,現在式用am/is/are;過去式用was/were;未來式用will be;現在完成式用has/have been;過去完成式用had been
²      若做動作的對象不重要或不明確,則by + O可省略。
²      動詞片語改為被動時,介系詞需保留。如:We will take care of (處理) the garbage. The garbage will be taken care of by us.
    The International Birdman is held in mid-August every year and attracts an audience of tens of thousands.
(國際鳥人大賽在每年八月中舉辦,且吸引數萬名觀眾。)
    The shirt I bought online was sent to me last Friday.
(我在網路上買的襯衫上週五寄給我了。)
Grammar

S + be + P.P. (+ by O)
1. 此句型為「被動語態」,是以動作的承受者作為句子的主詞,表示「被……」。
The windowswere broken by Jack.
動作的承受者
2. 將主動語態的句子改為被動語態時,步驟如下:
  (1) 將原本的受詞(即「動作的承受者」)移到句首。
  (2) 動詞改為「be + P.P.」。
  (3) 原本的主詞移到句尾,前面加上介系詞by
A large number of peoplespeakEnglish.
 

Englishis spokenbya large number of people.
3. 當動作執行者不明確、不重要或泛指一般人時(如:someonepeopletheyyou),「by + O」多省略不提。
Someonebuiltthe library in 1990.
The librarywas built in 1990 (by someone).

Reading P3
In the event, people run along a platform9, jump off over the sea, and try to fly. To win the first prize of 30,000 pounds, serious contestants make machines or hang-glidersžto reach10 the 100-meter markž. However, some people join the event just for fun. They do not use anything except their own bodies. The point is not to “fly” a long distance, but to entertainž the audience. 比賽中,人們沿著平臺跑、跳到海面上、並試著飛起來。為了贏得三萬元英鎊的第一名獎金,認真的參賽者會製作飛機或滑翔翼來達到 100 公尺的目標。然而,有些人參加比賽只是為了好玩。除了用自己的身體,他們並未使用任何東西。重點不是「飛」得遠,而是娛樂觀眾。
5 In the event, people run along a platform, jump off over the sea, and try to fly.
此句中含有三個動作,run, jump off try to fly,表示出比賽如何進行,給讀者清楚的進行畫面。over the sea 指在海面上。
6 To win the first prize of 30,000 pounds, serious contestants make machines or hang-gliders to reach the 100-meter mark.
1. To win = In order to win 為了要贏
2. machine 除了解為機械外,亦可指交通工具:如機車、汽車、自行車、飛機。

7 The point is not to “fly” a long distance, but to entertain the audience.
1. not... but...
句型文法
not... but... 是……而是……

接的部分須為同等的語法結構。
• Regina married Max not because he was rich, but because he loved her very much.
• Ivy wrote me a letter not in Chinese, but in English.
2. not to fly... entertain the audience為不定詞片語,作為主詞補語。
3. a long distance 一段長的距離
SPP 5: not... but...
²                此句型表示「不是……而是……」,當中but為對等連接詞,所以其兩端結構需對稱,如:Adj but AdjN but N
²                not... but...連接不同主詞時,動詞配合but後面的主詞變化。
²                not only… but (also)…表「不但……而且……」,可參考第七課句型II

文法句型
Focal Point 1
S + be + P.P. (+ by O)
教學建議
  本句型主要是介紹被動用法:S + be + P.P.(+ by...)的句型與其他相關句型用法。老師可以從主動與被動的觀念分析開始,接下來再講解本課句型:S + be + P.P. (+ by...)的用法;學生觀念清楚後再延伸到助動詞的被動用法,不定詞、動名詞的被動用法。
(1) 課文句型:現在式與過去式被動
S + is/am/are/was/were + P.P. (+ by...)
說明:
英文的被動式是將主詞與受詞互相交換位置而形成的,「by + 動作者」常在某些情況下被省略。
改成被動時,要注意主詞與動詞的配合。
• People use cellphones all over the world.(主動)
→ Cellphones are used all over the world.(被動)
• Someone took out a dictionary.(主動)
→ A dictionary was taken out.(被動)
(2) 補充句型:完成式被動
S + has/have + P.P.(主動)
S + has/have + been + P.P.(被動)
說明:使用現在完成式的情形如下。
到目前為止,動作已經完成。
到目前為止,動作已持續一段時間。
• Many rivers in Taiwan have been polluted.
• The Picasso painting has been stolen from the museum.
(3) 補充句型:語氣助動詞被動
S + aux + be + P.P. (+ by...)
說明:助動詞(will/can/must/have to/should...)是依句意需要而添加;助動詞的被動用原形動詞 be + P.P.
• We must protect our beautiful world.
→ Our beautiful world must be protected.
• A typhoon will hit southern Taiwan next week.
→ Southern Taiwan will be hit by a typhoon next week.
(4) 延伸句型:不定詞與動名詞被動
S + V... + to be + P.P.
說明:有些動詞之後必須接不定詞 to + VR(表主動);to be + P.P.(表被動)。
• We all hope to be given another chance.
• Children like to be treated kindly.
S + V... + being + P.P.
說明:有些動詞或介系詞之後必須接動名詞V-ing(表主動);being + P.P.(表被動)。
• Tommy enjoys being praised by his friends.
• We must protect children from being hurt.

SPP 6: a number of + N
²                a number of表「一些」,等於several,後接複數名詞。
²                the number of後加複數名詞,表示「……的數目」。如:The number of pandas in this area has increased.,當中主詞為the number,表示「熊貓的數目」,所以動詞應用單數動詞。

SPP 2: make + O + Adj/N
²      make在此為不完全及物動詞,表示「使……變成……」。
²      受詞補語為形容詞或名詞,用來修飾或補充說明受詞的狀態。

(現在有些人希望使極限燙衣成為奧運的比賽項目。)
      Going on a working holiday in Australia has made David more open-minded.
(去澳洲打工度假使David心胸更加開闊。)
15 This would certainly be difficult to achieve.
1. This指前一個句子,想要極限燙衣可以成為奧運比賽項目的夢想。
2. achieve = realize = accomplish 實現(夢想);達成(目標)
16 However, the contestants’ fighting spirit shows that nothing is impossible.
1. fighting spirit 戰鬥精神為主詞。
2. Nothing is impossible 可能的出處是聖經verse Luke 1:37 “For with God, nothing shall be impossible”,而知名運動鞋 Adidas,在 2006 年曾有句廣告 slogan “Impossible is Nothing”(一切皆可能)。
