39、 stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel that the heroine, a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, in her youth, poisoned every one of her five husbands.

44、y selling spiritual comfort.

Funny of Not?Whether we find

46、 a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up. The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which w

47、ould make an Englishman laugh to tears. Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplins early films. However, a new type

48、of humour, which stems largely from the U.S., has recently come into fashion. It is called sick humour. Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents.

53、发现突破口之新四篇你尝试过学习新概念第四册么？“新概念”一直以来被认为是一套英语学习的经典教材，而新四又是其中的龙头老大，你是如何来学习和利用这本教材的呢？有人为了出国考试来学这本教材，有人为了提高写作能力来了，有人学她只是为了领略英语语言和文化的魅力，还有人目的千种万种，而随着老师的指引，寻找到学习新概念四这本教材的突破口对于我们每个学习者来说都是关键的。每一个突破口都是一把钥匙，为我们开启新四的广阔视野。 突破口一，词汇。老生常谈，词汇是语言的基础。新四的词汇特点是较难和涉及的面较广，换句话说就是较全面。像：endow(L8,Lesson23); bewilder(L11, Lesson2

54、1); vicinity(L4,Lesson7); recuperation(L5,Lesson46) 等等。 这于我们好在可以大量的扩充现有词汇量，且令掌握词汇更丰富，而弊端就是为学习者们无形设置了障碍。看看新四教材说明就知道，新四的学习者要求至少有认知词汇3000字以上。这样的底限再加上难、广的新词汇，令很多人学习起来即刻觉得在理解文章和参与学习互动上困难重重。而针对新四这样的特点，我们又换一个角度看，掌握了词汇，甚至能熟练的运用新四的词汇，就等于不仅是为学习新四打好了基础，更是找到了新四学习的突破口，不是么？突破口二，文体和句子结构。符合规则，巧妙而优美的把词汇组合起来表达一个完整的意思

55、就是我们句子结构要研究的东东。句子串在一起又组成篇章，成了某种文体。新四教材的选材面广，文章来自众多现代作家的作品，题材、体裁各不相同，其中甚至包括一些广播讲话。这为我们掌握不同作品体裁背景下的不同结构，句式应用提供了多且精的学习可利用的资源。而真正学会了这些句子，结构，新四也就无论从内容上还是语言上都得到了突破。例如：第二十七课 The “Vasa” 作者在描写庞大的战舰时，使用了 “people watched this thing of beauty” (L9) 以及 “to produce this floating work of art” (L10), 就是最有力的佐证。突破口三，

56、引申和文化。如果新概念四只是难一点的词汇和句式结构，那么她与前面三册便无多大的区别，她的魅力便不会如同今天般迷人、耀眼。新四独特的魅力就在于根据其中文章提到的现象，文化，某一领域的词汇进行的衍生和差异性的对比。新四对于学者不易，对于教者更是要求到了几乎苛刻的地步。找到了文化的差异，理解了课文出现的语言和句式现象，引申出了相关的词汇，文化背景的介绍，由一看到了十，即又为学习新四找到了一大突破口。最为典型的课文莫过于第五课 Youth 和第四十四课 Patterns of Culture。突破口四，翻译。学会新四文章的翻译，如果你认为手持一本英汉词典就万事大吉就大错特错了。前文已经列述了新四的语言

57、，句式和篇章特点。而在完全理解新四词汇的基础上，把句式、篇章也理解的差不多后对于新四文章的翻译还是有欠缺的。新四的翻译不仅需要上下文的分析，更重要的是对背景知识的了解以及对相异文化的有所理解。与此同时，翻译还考验了学习者对互译的两种语言的感觉，也可称为语感。譬如，有些翻译的技巧在课文里俯拾即是，如：第九课 The Royal Espionage 里的一个“正说反译，反说正译”的句子。 第11行 Alfred stayed in the camp a week before he returned to Athelney. （阿尔弗雷德在敌人阵营中待了一个星期后回到了阿塞尔纳。） 新四每篇文章后

58、面都提供了译文，这为不同水平的学习者提供了方便，可参考，可比较，更可参照中文背诵整篇英文文章。从翻译着手，虽不可一步登天，但确可品味到新四文章的原汁原味，译者英语水平的提高也将指日可待。突破口五，积累和应用。新概念四教材所收录的文章大多出自现代作家之手笔，可以说其中的语言现象等都为现在说英语人士们所使用，其新鲜度和实用性可见一斑。学习者日常生活、交际中一定有机会用到这些现成的语言和句式，用学习时积累的投放到实际应用中，尝到甜头后再回来学习再积累，回过头又实践。这样形成了循环难道不是学习新四寻找到的可喜突破口么？前人的方法只为学习者们提供了有益的参考，各体间存在无数的差异，寻找到最适合你的新四学习突破口才能真正为你所用。最后，再赘言一句，最好的方法总是在不断实践中诞生的。祝新四学习者们好运！一册因为新概念一册的主要教学目的是锻炼我们的基本口语交际能力,同时还有1200个词汇的学习以及相应的语法巩固,所以,我有以下建议: 1.买一个复读机,然后每天对磁带进
