VOA中级美国英语

一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们学习怎么用 some, s-o-m-e, some 跟 any, a-n-y, any的用法.
首先我们还是听一段对话,内容是说彼得暑假里跟着学校旅行团到纽约去玩,
回来之后把他在纽约拍的照片给他的朋友玛丽看, 两个人谈话的经过. 请你
注意英文老师的发音和语调.
M: Mary, have I shown you my pictures?
F: No, you haven't. Are these your pictures of New York?
M: Yes, they are. I took them last month.
F: Did you take any pictures of the skyscrapers there?
M: Yes, I took some. Here they are.
F: You took wonderful pictures! Did you have a good time in New York?
M: Yes, I did. Have you ever been there?
F: No, I haven't. I've never been anywhere!
M: Don't you want to visit New York sometime?
F: Yes, I do. I'll go there someday.
现在我们再听英文老师用慢速度把整段对话念一遍.
M: Mary, have I shown you my pictures?
F: No, you haven't. Are these your pictures of New York?
M: Yes, they are. I took them last month.
F: Did you take any pictures of the skyscrapers there?
M: Yes, I took some. Here they are.
F: You took wonderful pictures! Did you have a good time in New York?
M: Yes, I did. Have you ever been there?
F: No, I haven't. I've never been anywhere!
M: Don't you want to visit New York sometime?
F: Yes, I do. I'll go there someday.
在刚才那段对话里, 有些句子包含了我们今天要学的语法, 现在我请英文老
师把那些句子念出来, 请你注意听.
F: Did you take any pictures of the skyscrapers there?
M: Yes, I took some.
F: I've never been anywhere!
M: Don't you want to visit New York sometime?
F: I'll go there someday.

二.SOME

首先学习 some, s-o-m-e, some 的用法. 这个字可以用来表示 "一些", 在下面这
组练习里玛丽提出有关彼得在纽约的活动的问题, 比方 "他买了一些纪念品
吗?" Did he buy some souvenirs? "他寄了一些明信片吗?" Did he send some
postcards? "他去戏剧中心百老汇看了一些表演吗?" Did he see some shows
on Broadway? 等等. 这些问题请你一一用 some 和复数名词作肯定的答覆. 每
答完一句就请你听老师念正确答案.
F: Did he take some pictures?
M: Yes, he took some pictures.
F: Did he buy some souvenirs?
M: Yes, he bought some souvenirs.
F: Did he send some postcards?
M: Yes, he sent some postcards.
F: Did he see some shows on Broadway?
M: Yes, he saw some shows on Broadway.

三.SOME 短句

刚才那个练习你都会作吗? 现在我们再来学另外一个用法. some 也可以跟一
些别的字一起用, 来表示 "某一个", "某一些", 比方 "某个人" somebody,
s-o-m-e-b-o-d-y, somebody, "某些东西" 或是 "某些事情" something, s-o-m-e-t-h-
i-n-g, something, "某个地方" somewhere, s-o-m-e-w-h-e-r-e, somewhere, 等等.
在下面一组练习里老师提出一些有关到纽约旅行的问题,比方 "谁带彼得去看
表演了?" Who took Peter to see the shows? 接着老师说 somebody, 请你用老
师给你的字来回答问题, 所以正确答案就是: Somebody took Peter to see the
shows. 现在我们开始作练习, 每作完一句就请你听正确答案.
M: Who took Peter to see the shows?
M: somebody
F: Somebody took Peter to see the shows.
M: Who gave Peter some information about New York?
M: somebody
F: Somebody gave Peter some information about New York.
M: What did Peter tell Mary about New York?
M: something
F: Peter told Mary something about New York.
M: What did Peter bring back from New York?
M: something
F: Peter brought back something from New York.
M: When will Peter go to New York again?
M: someday
F: Peter will go to New York again someday.
M: When will Mary visit New York?
M: someday
F: Mary will visit New York someday.

四.ANY

刚才我们学习了some 的一些用法, 现在我们来学习 any, a-n-y, any. 这个字表
示 "任何".
在下面一组练习里玛丽用 any 问彼得一些他在纽约的活动的问题, 比方 "你
在纽约有没有跟任何外国人说话呢? " Did you talk to any foreigners in New
York? 或者" 你在动物园有没有看见任何熊猫呢? "Did you see any pandas
in the zoo? 这些问题彼得都一一的作否定的答覆. 现在请你注意听玛丽问问
题, 并且跟彼得一起回答问题. 请注意在这些句子里用的是复数名词.
F: Did you talk to any foreigners in New York?
M: No, I didn't talk to any foreigners in New York.
F: Did you see any pandas in the zoo?
M: No, I didn't see any pandas in the zoo.
F: Did you eat in any Chinese restaurants in New York?
M: No, I didn't eat in any Chinese restaurants in New York.
F: Did you buy any expensive souvenirs in New York?
M: No, I didn't buy any expensive souvenirs in New York.
下面我们把 some 跟 any 作个比较. 这两个字因为意思不同, 所以 some 常常
出现在肯定句里, 而 any 常常出现在否定句里. 在下面一组练习里, 老师用慢
速度念一些句子比较这两个字的用法. 这些句子还是跟彼得到纽约去玩有关
系. 每个句子我们念两遍, 请你听一遍, 跟着重复一遍. 在你重复的时候要特
别注意 some 跟 any 的区别.
M: Peter ate in some good restaurants in New York, but he didn't eat in any Chinese
restaurants.
F: Peter ate in some good restaurants in New York, but he didn't eat in any Chinese
restaurants.
M: Peter saw some foreigners in New York, but he didn't talk to any of them.
F: Peter saw some foreigners in New York, but he didn't talk to any of them.
M: Peter bought some souvenirs in New York, but he didn't buy any expensive ones.
F: Peter bought some souvenirs in New York, but he didn't buy any expensive ones.
M: Peter went to some zoos in New York, but he didn't see any pandas there.
F: Peter went to some zoos in New York, but he didn't see any pandas there.
练习了刚才那些句子我希望你对some 和 any 两者的分别有了一些认识. any
也可以跟别的字一起用, 比方 "任何人" anybody, a-n-y-b-o-d-y, anybody, "任何
事情" 或 "任何东西" anything, a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g, anything, "任何地方" anywhere,
a-n-y-w-h-e-r-e, anywhere 等等. 现在我们来作一组练习, 由玛丽问彼得一些有
关他在纽约的问题,比方他在地铁上有没有跟某个人交谈, 在中国城有没有买
某些东西等等. 这些问题彼得都一一的用我们刚才提到 anybody 跟 anything
作否定的答覆. 请你注意听玛丽问问题, 并且跟彼得一起回答.
F: Did you talk to somebody on the subway?
M: No, I didn't talk to anybody on the subway.
F: Did you buy something in Chinatown?
M: No, I didn't buy anything in Chinatown.
F: Did you get something for your parents?
M: No, I didn't get anything for my parents.
F: Did you visit somebody in New York?
M: No, I didn't visit anybody in New York.

五.ANYWHERE 和 SOMEWHERE

在下面一组练习里, 我们来比较 somewhere 跟 anywhere 的用法. 首先由老
师提出一个陈述句, 接着老师提出问句,请你根据陈述句来决定用somewhere
或是 anywhere 回答问题. 每回答一句就请你听正确答案.
M: Peter lost his hat in New York.
M: Where did he leave it?
F: He left it somewhere.
M: Where did he find it?
F: He didn't find it anywhere.
下面老师又提出一个陈述句. 请你还是跟刚才一样练习.
M: Peter went travelling, but Mary stayed home.
M: Where did Peter go?
F: He went somewhere.
M: Where did Mary go?
F: She didn't go anywhere.

六.ANYWHERE 短语用在肯定句

刚才我们学习的 any, anybody, anything, 跟 anywhere 都出现在否定句里, 但
是这些字也可以用在肯定句里:
下面英文老师用慢速度念几个例子, 内容都是说到纽约, 比方纽约地铁很方
便, 你可以坐地铁到任何地方; 纽约的摩天大楼比美国任何地方都多, 纽约饭
店和铺子很多, 要买什么, 要吃什么应有尽有等等. 每个句子老师念两遍,请你
听一遍, 跟着重复一遍.
M: Anybody can take the subway in New York.
F: Anybody can take the subway in New York.
M: The subway is very convenient. You can go anywhere on it.
