Lesson 15 Fifty pence worth of trouble 五十便士的麻煩Listen to the tape then answer the question below.聽錄音，然后回答以下問(wèn)題。Did George get anything for his fifty pence? What? Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and ants are always a source of extra income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If fifty pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate. My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead he bought himself fifty pence worth of trouble. On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his fifty pence and it bounced along the pavement and then disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed is right arm through the drain cover. He could not find his fifty pence piece anywhere, and what is more, he could no get his arm out. A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire brigade was called and two fire fighter freed George using a special type of grease. George was not too upset by his experience because the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his troubles and rewarded him with large box of chocolates.New words and expressions 生詞和短語(yǔ) appreciatev. 欣賞，感激 pocket money 零用錢 thriftyadj. 節(jié)約的 nephewn. 侄子，外甥 bouncev. 彈起，跳起 pavementn. 人行道 stick (stuck, stuck)v. 卡住，夾住，不能再動(dòng) brigaden. 旅，（消防）隊(duì) greasen. 潤(rùn)滑油參考譯文 孩子們總是喜歡得到一些零花錢。爸爸媽媽當(dāng)然經(jīng)常給孩子零花錢，但是，叔舅嬸姨也是孩子們額外收入來(lái)源。對(duì)于有些孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，少量的錢可以花很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間。如果50便士不拿來(lái)?yè)Q糖吃，則可以放在儲(chǔ)蓄罐里叮當(dāng)響上好幾月。但是能把儲(chǔ)蓄罐裝滿的只有屈指可數(shù)的幾個(gè)特別節(jié)儉的孩子。對(duì)大部分孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，用50便士來(lái)買一大塊好的巧克力，是算不了什么的。 我的外甥喬治有一個(gè)儲(chǔ)蓄罐，但總是空空的。我給了不少50便士的硬幣，但沒有幾個(gè)存到儲(chǔ)蓄罐里。昨天，我給了他50便士讓存起來(lái)，卻拿這錢給自己買了50便士的麻煩。在他去糖果店的路上，50便士掉在地上，在人行道上跳了幾下，掉進(jìn)了陰溝里。喬治脫掉外套，卷起袖子，將右胳膊伸進(jìn)了陰溝蓋。但他摸了半天也沒找到那50便士硬幣，他的胳膊反倒退不出來(lái)了。這時(shí)在他周圍上了許多人，一位女士在喬治胳膊上抹了肥皂，黃油，但喬治的胳膊仍然卡得緊緊的。有人打電話叫來(lái)消防隊(duì)，兩位消防隊(duì)員使用了一種特殊的潤(rùn)滑劑才使喬治得以解脫。不過(guò)，此事并沒使喬治過(guò)于傷心，因?yàn)樘枪昀习迥锫犝f(shuō)了他遇到的麻煩后，賞給他一大盒巧克力。New words and expression 生詞和短語(yǔ)Appreciate v.欣賞，感激- Thepoemistoodifficultformetoappreciate.- Iappreciateyourhelp.=bethankful/gratefultosb.- thankful = grateful（adj.感激的, 感謝的）pocketmoney 零用錢- beermoney 留給丈夫的零花錢- madmoney 女子留作應(yīng)急之用的私房錢- greenmoney 美金（美圓是綠色的）- soft/foldingmoney 紙幣, 鈔票（folding adj.可折疊的）- hardmoney 硬幣（hard adj.硬的, 堅(jiān)固的）thrifty adj.節(jié)約的economical adj.節(jié)約的, 經(jīng)濟(jì)的frugal adj.節(jié)儉的, 樸素的nephew n.侄子，外甥bounce v.彈起，跳起- Thecoinwasbounced.同義詞：jump(v.跳躍), leap(v.躍), hop(單足跳), spring(v.彈跳 n.彈簧), skip(v.跳躍, 略過(guò))pavement n.人行道stick(stuck,stuck) v.卡住，夾住，不能再動(dòng)- Hisarmwasstuck. 他的胳膊被卡住了。Stick v.堅(jiān)持, 粘貼- Youmuststicktoyouridea. 你必需要堅(jiān)持你的看法。- Stickthestampontheenvelop.stickwith 忠實(shí)于.（= be faithful to對(duì).忠實(shí)）- faithful adj.守信的, 忠實(shí)的Brigade n.旅,（消防）隊(duì)firebrigade（消防隊(duì)）= firedepartment = firestationgrease n.潤(rùn)滑油uncle n.伯父, 叔父, 姨丈aunt n.姑媽, 伯母, 舅媽, 阿姨extra adj.額外的price n.代價(jià), 價(jià)格, 價(jià)錢 drain n.排水溝roll vt,vi卷；滾動(dòng),轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng),打滾sleeve n.袖子, 衣袖rub v.擦, 摩擦free vt. 使自由, 釋放 upset adj.心煩意亂的,不適的,不舒服的 vt,vi打翻,弄翻,推翻；使煩亂 reward vt.酬謝,酬勞,報(bào)答 n.報(bào)酬, 獎(jiǎng)金Text 課文DidGeorgegetanythingforhisfiftypence?What?Childrenalwaysappreciatesmallgiftsofmoney.= Childrenalwaysappreciate pocketmoney assmall gifts.孩子們總是喜歡得到些零花錢- Husbandsalwaysappreciatesmallgiftsofbeermoney.Mumordad,ofcourse,providearegularsupplyofpocketmoney,videaregularsupplyof. 定期地提供providesth forsb / providesb withsth 為某人提供某物- The villagers provided a regular supply of food for the soldiers.= The villagers provided the soldiers with a regular supply of food smallgiftsofmoney, pocketmoney, extraincome 都表示零花錢。作者在兩段話里三處用了零花錢, 是為了讓讀者能夠抓住主題。寫作時(shí)要避免使用相同的詞匯。Withsomechildren,smallsumsgoalongway.此句暗含：with other children, small sums cant go a long way.goalongway 維持很久- Themoneywehavewillgoalongway.goalongwaytowards 對(duì).大有幫助- Thiswillgoalongwaytowardsovercomingthedifficulty.（overcome vt.戰(zhàn)勝, 克服）介詞with和for的區(qū)別：For(介詞)：關(guān)于, 對(duì)于.來(lái)說(shuō), 考慮到.的事實(shí)- TheweatherisquitewarmforNovember.- Forhim, thiswillbeanentirelynewhobby.With(介詞)：在某一方面(多用于二者的比較)- Withsomepeople, pleasureismoreimportantthanwork.- Somepeoplemayacceptthatexcuse, butitwontworkwithme.Iffiftypencepiecesarenotexchangedforsweets,theyrattleformonthsinsidemoneyboxes.Pence 便士（penny, pennies都是pence的復(fù)數(shù)：）afiftypence 一個(gè)五十便士的硬幣fiftypennies 五十一便士的硬幣exchangefor 換取, 以.來(lái)交換- The little boy exchanged his pen for candy.（candy n.糖果, 冰糖）rattle vt.(擬聲詞) 叮當(dāng)作響 = tinkle（vi, vt (使)發(fā)玎玲聲, (使)發(fā)出玎當(dāng)聲）roar 呼嘯（重點(diǎn)突出老虎、獅子等大動(dòng)物的吼叫聲）- The car roar by me. / Listen, a lion is roaring.shoutat 大喊大叫 = barkatgrunt vi.(豬等)作呼嚕聲vt.咕噥著說(shuō)出- Heisgrunting.（adj.咕嚨的, 哼哼唧唧的）slam v.砰地關(guān)上, 砰地放下Onlyverythriftychildrenmanagetofillupamoneybox.fillup 裝滿1up：表示方向upto（表示到達(dá)目的地） - Sheranuptohim. 她跑到他面前。Towards（表示朝某個(gè)方向） - Sherantowardshim. 她向他跑去。2表示沿著, 走向更遠(yuǎn)的地方（側(cè)重強(qiáng)調(diào)距離更遠(yuǎn)了）- Theywalkedupthestreet. 他們沿著街道走遠(yuǎn)了。- Theychildrenrunupthegardenpathtogreettheirfather.3系動(dòng)詞+up（表示消費(fèi)、摧毀、徹底、光、用完）- Drinkupyourwhisky. / Eatupyourvegetable.- Finishitup. 完成它 / burnup燒光 / useup用光4表示積存, 從少到多, 積小成多- Wemustlayupsomeboiledfoodforthewinter.Lay up貯存 = storeup儲(chǔ)藏, holdup, gatherup收集起5表示從河的下游到上游, 河流入口處以上到源頭的某一點(diǎn)- TheyaresailinguptheThames. 他們正沿著泰晤士河而上。- Thehouseisuptheriver. 這個(gè)房子在河的上游。6動(dòng)詞+up（表示包起來(lái)、封住、蓋?。?
