Lesson 15 Fifty pence worth of trouble 五十便士的麻烦Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。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 生词和短语 appreciatev. 欣赏，感激 pocket money 零用钱 thriftyadj. 节约的 nephewn. 侄子，外甥 bouncev. 弹起，跳起 pavementn. 人行道 stick (stuck, stuck)v. 卡住，夹住，不能再动 brigaden. 旅，（消防）队 greasen. 润滑油参考译文 孩子们总是喜欢得到一些零花钱。爸爸妈妈当然经常给孩子零花钱，但是，叔舅婶姨也是孩子们额外收入来源。对于有些孩子来说，少量的钱可以花很长一段时间。如果50便士不拿来换糖吃，则可以放在储蓄罐里叮当响上好几月。但是能把储蓄罐装满的只有屈指可数的几个特别节俭的孩子。对大部分孩子来说，用50便士来买一大块好的巧克力，是算不了什么的。 我的外甥乔治有一个储蓄罐，但总是空空的。我给了不少50便士的硬币，但没有几个存到储蓄罐里。昨天，我给了他50便士让存起来，却拿这钱给自己买了50便士的麻烦。在他去糖果店的路上，50便士掉在地上，在人行道上跳了几下，掉进了阴沟里。乔治脱掉外套，卷起袖子，将右胳膊伸进了阴沟盖。但他摸了半天也没找到那50便士硬币，他的胳膊反倒退不出来了。这时在他周围上了许多人，一位女士在乔治胳膊上抹了肥皂，黄油，但乔治的胳膊仍然卡得紧紧的。有人打电话叫来消防队，两位消防队员使用了一种特殊的润滑剂才使乔治得以解脱。不过，此事并没使乔治过于伤心，因为糖果店老板娘听说了他遇到的麻烦后，赏给他一大盒巧克力。New words and expression 生词和短语Appreciate v.欣赏，感激- Thepoemistoodifficultformetoappreciate.- Iappreciateyourhelp.=bethankful/gratefultosb.- thankful = grateful（adj.感激的, 感谢的）pocketmoney 零用钱- beermoney 留给丈夫的零花钱- madmoney 女子留作应急之用的私房钱- greenmoney 美金（美圆是绿色的）- soft/foldingmoney 纸币, 钞票（folding adj.可折叠的）- hardmoney 硬币（hard adj.硬的, 坚固的）thrifty adj.节约的economical adj.节约的, 经济的frugal adj.节俭的, 朴素的nephew n.侄子，外甥bounce v.弹起，跳起- Thecoinwasbounced.同义词：jump(v.跳跃), leap(v.跃), hop(单足跳), spring(v.弹跳 n.弹簧), skip(v.跳跃, 略过)pavement n.人行道stick(stuck,stuck) v.卡住，夹住，不能再动- Hisarmwasstuck. 他的胳膊被卡住了。Stick v.坚持, 粘贴- Youmuststicktoyouridea. 你必需要坚持你的看法。- Stickthestampontheenvelop.stickwith 忠实于.（= be faithful to对.忠实）- faithful adj.守信的, 忠实的Brigade n.旅,（消防）队firebrigade（消防队）= firedepartment = firestationgrease n.润滑油uncle n.伯父, 叔父, 姨丈aunt n.姑妈, 伯母, 舅妈, 阿姨extra adj.额外的price n.代价, 价格, 价钱 drain n.排水沟roll vt,vi卷；滚动,转动,打滚sleeve n.袖子, 衣袖rub v.擦, 摩擦free vt. 使自由, 释放 upset adj.心烦意乱的,不适的,不舒服的 vt,vi打翻,弄翻,推翻；使烦乱 reward vt.酬谢,酬劳,报答 n.报酬, 奖金Text 课文DidGeorgegetanythingforhisfiftypence?What?Childrenalwaysappreciatesmallgiftsofmoney.= Childrenalwaysappreciate pocketmoney assmall gifts.孩子们总是喜欢得到些零花钱- Husbandsalwaysappreciatesmallgiftsofbeermoney.Mumordad,ofcourse,providearegularsupplyofpocketmoney,videaregularsupplyof. 定期地提供providesth forsb / providesb withsth 为某人提供某物- 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 都表示零花钱。作者在两段话里三处用了零花钱, 是为了让读者能够抓住主题。写作时要避免使用相同的词汇。Withsomechildren,smallsumsgoalongway.此句暗含：with other children, small sums cant go a long way.goalongway 维持很久- Themoneywehavewillgoalongway.goalongwaytowards 对.大有帮助- Thiswillgoalongwaytowardsovercomingthedifficulty.（overcome vt.战胜, 克服）介词with和for的区别：For(介词)：关于, 对于.来说, 考虑到.的事实- TheweatherisquitewarmforNovember.- Forhim, thiswillbeanentirelynewhobby.With(介词)：在某一方面(多用于二者的比较)- Withsomepeople, pleasureismoreimportantthanwork.- Somepeoplemayacceptthatexcuse, butitwontworkwithme.Iffiftypencepiecesarenotexchangedforsweets,theyrattleformonthsinsidemoneyboxes.Pence 便士（penny, pennies都是pence的复数：）afiftypence 一个五十便士的硬币fiftypennies 五十一便士的硬币exchangefor 换取, 以.来交换- The little boy exchanged his pen for candy.（candy n.糖果, 冰糖）rattle vt.(拟声词) 叮当作响 = tinkle（vi, vt (使)发玎玲声, (使)发出玎当声）roar 呼啸（重点突出老虎、狮子等大动物的吼叫声）- The car roar by me. / Listen, a lion is roaring.shoutat 大喊大叫 = barkatgrunt vi.(猪等)作呼噜声vt.咕哝着说出- Heisgrunting.（adj.咕咙的, 哼哼唧唧的）slam v.砰地关上, 砰地放下Onlyverythriftychildrenmanagetofillupamoneybox.fillup 装满1up：表示方向upto（表示到达目的地） - Sheranuptohim. 她跑到他面前。Towards（表示朝某个方向） - Sherantowardshim. 她向他跑去。2表示沿着, 走向更远的地方（侧重强调距离更远了）- Theywalkedupthestreet. 他们沿着街道走远了。- Theychildrenrunupthegardenpathtogreettheirfather.3系动词+up（表示消费、摧毁、彻底、光、用完）- Drinkupyourwhisky. / Eatupyourvegetable.- Finishitup. 完成它 / burnup烧光 / useup用光4表示积存, 从少到多, 积小成多- Wemustlayupsomeboiledfoodforthewinter.Lay up贮存 = storeup储藏, holdup, gatherup收集起5表示从河的下游到上游, 河流入口处以上到源头的某一点- TheyaresailinguptheThames. 他们正沿着泰晤士河而上。- Thehouseisuptheriver. 这个房子在河的上游。6动词+up（表示包起来、封住、盖住）- buttonup扣上纽扣（- button your coat up 把外衣的纽扣扣上） - wrapup 包裹起来（wrap up the shoes with newspaper 用报纸把鞋子包起来）- lockup 锁起来（lock the house up 用锁把房子锁起来）- fastenup 拴紧, 钉牢, 锁牢 / save up 储蓄, 贮存- wash up 洗涤餐具, 洗手洗脸, 把冲上岸 / doup 重新整修, 包好Formostofthem,fiftypenceisasmallpricetopayforanicebigbarofchocolate.fiftypenceissmallprice to pay = fiftypenceisnotmuchtopaya smallprice =notmuchmoney 并不是很多- Forhim twothousanddollarsissmallprice topayforit.- Forme fivehundredYuanisnotasmallpricetopayforabicycle.Mynephew,George,hasamoneyboxbutitisalwaysempty.VeryfewofthefiftypencepiecesandpoundcoinsIhavegivenhimhavefoundtheirwaythere.pound coin n.1英镑硬币findtheirwaythere=reach 抵达, 到达, 找到自己的去处find ones way into/to- Riversfindtheirwaytothesea.- Howdidsuchafoolishstatementfinditswayintoprint?
