The Mouse with No Name
One day, Miss Green came into school with five little white mice.
"These are the new shool pets," she said.
This one's name is Billy. Thisone's name is Boo. This one's name is Milly, and this one's name is Soo. But this little one has no name.
The little mouse with no name looked sad.
Then the wind blew and Miss Green dropped the mouse.
The little mouse with no name ran out of the door. He ran down the stairs and into the hall.
"A mouse! A mouse!" said the dinner lady, and she chased the little mouse.
The little mouse with no name ran out into the playground. "A mouse! A mouse!" said the cat. And then she chased the little mouse.
There he is! The mouse ran up a tree.
"A mouse! A mouse!" said the big bird, and he got the mouse and off he flew.
Then the wind blew, and the bird dropped the mouse.
Down, down, down went the little mouse.
The children looked and looked, but no one could find the little mouse with no name.
"Poor little mouse! The cat will get him!" The children said,"or the bird will get him! Or the dinner lady will get him! They were all very sad.
The children went back into the classroom. Miss Green took off her coat and there was the mouse, fast asleep in the hood of her coat!
Now the little mouse has a name. His name is "Lucky"!
Tips from Jessie's Mom:
1. Miss Green came into school with five little white mice.
1). mice 是 mouse 的复数形式,这是一个比较特殊的复数。
2). 这句话中的 with 意思是 “带着”。
整句翻译成:格林小姐带着五只白色 的小老鼠来到了学校里。
2. This little mouse with no name looked sad.
这句话中也有 with,但是这里的意思不同,应该翻译成 “...的”,是用来修饰
前面的 the little mouse。
整句翻译成:这只没有名字的小老鼠看起来很难过。
3. There he is.
(He is there.)
Off he flew.
(He flew off.)
Down went the little mouse.
(The little mouse went down.)
There was the mouse.
(The mouse was there.)
这四个句子都是 “ 倒装句 ”。也就是把句子的顺序调换了一下,作用是---强调。每个句子后面括号里的就是不倒装的样子,也是正确的表达方式。
4. 但是大家有没有发现,其实刚才讲的四个倒装句其实也是有各自特点的,前两句是一个特点,后两句是一个特点。大家可以认真思考一下,看能不能发现其中的奥妙!
欢迎大家给Jessie妈妈留言,看看你是不是发现了其中的秘密呢!
上期答案揭晓:
在上期节目中,Jessie妈妈提了个小问题,就是 --- 在表达”...说“时,为什么有时候 said 放在前面,而有时候却放在后面?
现在揭晓答案!
当我们用名词时,就需要把 said 放在前面。
当我们用代词代替名词时,例如 he, she, they 等,就需要把 said 放在后面。
例如:”Come“ said Ada / said Mom / said the man.
”Come“ she said / he said / they said.
