14、人们的反应。他一边观察,一边在做记录。附近一个穿着黑色衣裙围着羊毛围巾的卖花姑娘也在躲雨。这时,有位先生(简称先)从这儿路过,他犹豫了片刻。伊:长官,这边来呀,买我这个苦命的女孩一束花吧。先:对不起,我没有零钱。伊:长官,我可以给你找零钱呀。先:(惊奇地)一英镑你找得开吗?恐怕没有再小的钱了。伊:(带有希望的神色)啊!好啦,长官,一定要从我这儿买一束吧。拿这一束,只要三个便士。(举起一些已经枯萎的花)助读讲解who引导限制性定语从句,修饰a poor flower girl。convince vt.说服;使信服;convinced that是过去分词短语作后置定语,也可以看作形容词短语作后置定
15、语。that是宾语从句,作convinced的宾语。现在分词短语listening toand watching作伴随状语。While watching是时间状语从句的省略,相当于While he is watching。G:(uncomfortably)Now dont be troublesome,theres a good girl.looks in his wallet(钱包) and sounds more friendlyBut,wait,heres some small change.Will that be of any use to you?Its raining heavi
16、ly now,isnt it?(leaves)E:(disappointed at the outcome,but thinking it is better than nothing)Thank you,sir.(sees a man taking notes and feels worried)Hey!

21、 is covered in writing)作后置定语,修饰paper。E:(looking confused)What if I was?Whats it to you?CP:(has been watching the girl and now speaks to Higgins)Thats quite brilliant!How did you do that,may I ask?H:Simply phonetics studied and classified from peoples own speech.Thats my profession and also my hobby.

28、望着这个姑娘的,这时跟希金斯说话了)太棒了!请问你是怎么知道的呢?希:仅仅是研究语音学,同时根据人们的言谈来对语音学进行分类。那是我的专业,也是我的业余爱好。你可以仅仅通过几句话就判断出一个人是哪个地方的。我可以根据任何谈话来判定他们是哪个地方的人,差距不超过六英里,有时候在伦敦甚至不超过两个街区。皮:恭喜你了!不过,你这样做有收入吗?希:当然有啰,还挺高呢。这是致富的年代。人们从伦敦的穷人区开始工作,年收入才80英镑。最后到了富人区工作,年收入就是10万英镑了。但是,他们每次开口说话时都会暴露自己。如今让我一教,她就会变成一个上层阶级的淑女皮:是吗?那太妙了!希:(粗鲁地)你瞧那个姑娘,英语
29、说得那样糟糕,那一口英语使她注定要在贫民窟里呆一辈子了。但是,先生,(高傲地)一旦她接受教导,学会正确地说话,这个女孩子可以在三个月内成功扮演使馆花园宴会的女公爵。说不定我还可以给她找份工作,当一名贵夫人的侍女或商店的店员。这些工作都要求英语说得好呢。伊:你说啥来着?店员?这正是我想要做的,真的!希:(不理睬她)你相信我说的话吗?皮:当然相信!我自己就学了好多种印度语,而且希:真的吗?那你认不认得皮克林上校呢?皮:当然认得,皮克林就是我。那么请问你贵姓?希:我是亨利希金斯。我还打算去印度见你呢。皮:我也正是到英国来找你的!伊:我呢?你们怎么帮助我呢?希:啊,拿去吧。(漫不经心地朝她的篮子里扔去
30、一把钱)好老兄,我们该美美地庆祝一番了。(一道离去)伊:(惊奇地看着收集起来的钱)啊,我还从来没有见过。整整一英镑呢!一笔财富呀!这的确给我帮大忙了。明天我一定去找你,亨利希金斯。等着瞧吧!你那口(模仿他的声音)“真正的英语”(用自己的声音)我倒要看看你能不能帮我找到(离去)助读讲解place在该句中的意思是“凭记忆或经验辨认”。every time引导时间状语从句,意为“每当的时候”。each time,any time,the first time,the last time等名词词组可用作连词,引导时间状语从句。once taught by me是once she is taught b
31、y me的省略,含有条件意味。that will condemn her to the gutter是that引导的定语从句,修饰English。第一步速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读P2830教材课文,选择最佳答案This text is mainly about the first experience of Eliza meeting with AProfessor HigginsBColonel PickeringCProfessor Higgins and Colonel PickeringDa gentleman答案C第二步细读把控文章关键信息细读P2930教材课文,选择最佳答案1H
