今天学习九十三课 our new neighbor, 我 们的新邻居。这节课的重点语法主要包括了一般过去时、一般将来时和现在完成时。 nigel 是 我们的新邻居,他是个飞行员,很少待在家里,一直在各个城市飞行。今天我们来了解一下飞行员的日常生活,看看 nigel 去过哪些地方,未来又准备飞去哪里。首先是我们的词汇环节,让我们来看一下这几个词。 new york, tokyo madrid 刚刚提到 nigel 的 职业是一名飞行员,现在我们来看一些和他日常相关的词汇, pilot return fly 接下来来了解一下这位新邻居。 nigel is our new next door neighbor, he's a pilot。 这句话用了一般现代时描述了 nigel 的 基本情况, 常用一般现代时来描述习惯性的状态。句子中的 next door 这个词是一个复合词,表示隔壁的来形容 neighbor。 介绍隔壁邻居的时就可以说, he is my next door neighbor, our next door neighbor are very kind。 我 们知道了 nigel 是 一名飞行员。 he was in the r a f。 原来他曾经在英国皇家空军。认知这句里的 was 表达的是过去时 描述 nigel 曾经的状态。 r a f 是 royal air force 的 缩写,指的是英国皇家空军。那么 nigel 当飞行员时去过什么地方呢? he flew to spain a week ago。 他 已经在一周前飞去了西班牙,一周之后还要去纽约和日本。 he will fly to new york next month the math after next, he'll fly to tokyo。 他 下下周将会回到伦敦。 he'll return to london the week after next。 他 是个忙碌的空中飞人。我们可以看到这几句中 使用了 will 加动词原形来描述将来会发生的事情,称之为一般将来时。比如你要描述周末的计划或者未来的行程,就可以这么来表达, i will go to the zoo this weekend, i will fly to sydney next week。 看来 nigel 每隔一段时间就有着不同的行程安排。 he's only forty one years old and he has already been to nearly every country in the world。 幸运的 nigel, 他 已经去了很多地方表达已经完成的事情。我们就要用现在完成时,也就是 have 或者 has 加上动词的过去分词。 另外要注意,这句话中的 and 相当于 but, 意思是然而在这里起到转折的作用。 nigel 才四十一岁就已经去过了世界上几乎每一个国家。 今天我们了解了 nigel 的 飞行员生活,复习了各种时态。我们可以用一般现在时来描述习惯性的日常活动和状态,用一般过去时来描述过去发生的事情,用一般将来时来描述将要发生的事情,用现在完成时来描述已经做过的事情。以上就是这节课的内容了, see you next time。

你住的地方叫 neighborhood, 隔壁住的人叫 neighbor。 这两个词长得像,意思也有关联,今天咱们就来拆拆 neighborhood 到底是怎么从邻居变成社区的。 neighborhood 可以 拆成两块。 neighbor 意思是邻居。 hood 是 抽象名词,后缀表示状态关系,群体。 neber 加 hood, 字面意思就是邻居关系,邻里情谊,你和邻居之间的关系就叫 neighborhood。 后来这个词从抽象的关系变成了具体的地方,也就是你们这群邻居住的社区街区。所以 neighborhood 的 本质就是一群邻居住的地方。 nebraska 最常用的就是社区街区。 safe neighborhood, 安全的街区 quiet neighborhood, 安静的社区也可以指临近地区。 in the neighborhood of the school 在 学校附近 还有一个短语, in the neighborhood of 可以 表示大约左右,比如 in the neighborhood of one hundred dollars, 大 约一百美元。这个用法是从附近隐身来的。 neighbor 本身也可以拆 n, 意思是附近巴尔来自古英语,意思是居住者,所以 neighbor 就是 住在附近的人。 neighboring 形容词,邻近的 neighboring countries 邻国 neighborly 木林的友好的 a neighborly gesture 友好的表示 hood 这个后缀也很好用。 childhood, 童年 manhood, 成年 likelihood, 可能性都是状态时期的意思。 好啦,今天的 neighborhood 就 讲到这里,记住哦内附近 bar, 住者住在附近是邻居。 neighbour 加 hood, 邻居关系便社区 safe neighborhood 安全区 neighborly 是 邻近, neighborly 是 友好 childhood manhood 都是 hood, 下次见了。
