小明英語課堂 第8課:曬太陽
Welcome to class today! Let’s start with some slang
歡迎來到今天的課，我們從俚語開始吧
Our slangs today are both about catching things. Doyou know what catch means?
我們今天的兩個(gè)俚語都和“抓”這個(gè)詞有關(guān)系
The first slang is to "catch some Zs"
第一個(gè)叫“catch some Zs”
Yes, we are talking about Zs, just like in thealphabet
對(duì)的，我們說的是字母表里的Z
Zs are what are put in these little thought bubbles that come over people’s heads
Z就是我們放在那些浮動(dòng)泡泡里面的
when they are asleep in cartoons
在卡通里當(dāng)一個(gè)人睡覺的時(shí)候就會(huì)出現(xiàn)
You might have seen this before
你可能之前見過這個(gè)
So when you want to catch some Zs, you want to get some sleep
所以想抓一些Z就是想睡覺
because it’s just like you are catching the thoughts from those sleeping people’s minds
類似于從睡覺的人的意識(shí)里抓想法
Our other slang is to "catch some rays"
我們另外一個(gè)俚語是“catch some rays”
Rays are beams of light that come from the sun
“rays”的意思是太陽的射線
So, to catch some rays means to 曬太陽
所以，它的意思是曬太陽
If you catch enough rays
如果你曬太陽
You will become tanned ,your skin will become darker
你會(huì)變得黝黑
and a lot of people like that
很多人都喜歡有黝黑的皮膚
So people go outside to catch some rays during the summer or really any day that there isgood weather
所以他們很喜歡在夏天和晴天的時(shí)候出去曬太陽
And both of these slangs are used as verbs
這兩個(gè)俚語都是當(dāng)作動(dòng)詞來用的
You can say, I’m tired, I’m going to go catch some Zs
你可以說，我困了
if you want to say that you want to go sleep
我要去睡覺了
If you want to say that you are too pale
如果你覺得自己太白皙了
and you want to get darker
想變得黝黑一些
say "oh, it’s so nice outside, I’m going to go to the beach and catch some rays
你可以說“外面的天氣真好，我要去海灘曬太陽
and maybe you can ask a friend to come along"
你也可以邀請(qǐng)朋友一起來。”
So, our example for sentence structure today is
我們今天的句型是
"In order for Jimmy to remain a part of this group, he’s going have to calm down"
“Jimmy如果想留在這個(gè)組里，他需要平靜自己的脾氣”
And the basic structure is "In order for A to do B, it’s going to have to C"
基本句型是“如果A要去做B，A必須具備C才行”
A is our main subject. A wants to do B, but needs to do C to be able to do B
A是我們的主語。A想做B，但是需要做C才能夠去做B。
Another example is, "In order for me to get a good grade on this exam
另外一個(gè)例子是“如果我想考一個(gè)好成績
I am going to have to study a lot"
我需要好好學(xué)習(xí)”
Why don’t you try making a sentence?
你也來試試造句吧
Thank you so much for coming to class today
謝謝你來上今天的課
I hope you learned something
我希望你學(xué)到了很多知識(shí)
If you have any questions or comments, or if you want to try using the sentence structure
