For some reason English has one of the largest collections of jokes based on plays on words. These jokes are often in the form of a dialogue in which one person uses a word in one sense, which the other person understands it or deliberately interprets it in a different sense. Here are some examples of the humorous dialogues.

The fourth period
Language points
備課時間：May 7th
上課時間：
Teaching Aim: Language points of this passage.
Teaching difficulty: The use of the language points.
Teaching Procedures:
Step One Language points.
1．In England，who can marry couples in church?
在英國，誰能夠在教堂里結為夫婦主持婚禮呢？
①marry用作及物動詞，意為“嫁、娶；把女兒嫁給某人；（指牧師或官員）為（雙方）主持婚禮。”
此時marry是終止性動詞，不能與一般時間連用，也不能和to連用。如：
My brother married a neighbour’s daughter.
Mr Brown wanted to marry his daughter to a rich man.
marry用作不及物動詞，意為“結婚”，也是終止性動詞，有時和副詞、形容詞連用。如：
John married young. 約翰早婚。
She married late in life. 她很晚才結婚。
在非正式文體中，“結婚”常用be/get married（to sb），get married表示動作，be married表示狀態，其中to不能換成with.如：
She got married to a man from her hometown. 她同一位同鄉結了婚。
Betty’s parents have been married for more than 25 years.
②couple意為“一對男女；夫婦”，作主語時，謂語動詞多用單數，若強調個體，有時也視為復數。如：
The young couple seems（seem）to be happy.
這對年輕人看起來很快樂。
a couple of有兩種含義。一種作“兩個”，另一種作“幾個、數個”。如：
They keep a couple of dogs. 他們養了兩條狗。
They stayed there for a couple of days. 他們在那呆了幾天。
2．How close to each other did the man and the woman live?
這位男士和女士相互居住得有多近？
close to意為“離……很近；在附近；幾乎”。如：
The British don’t like to stand close to each other.
It’s close to five o’clock now. Let’s have a rest.
現在快5點鐘了，咱們休息一下吧！
close與closely的辨析
close與closely皆為副詞，但有區別。
close意為“接近地，靠近地”，表示具體的概念；close多用來修飾由介詞引導的短語。
closely意為“仔細地，密切地”，常表達抽象的概念，它多用來修飾動詞和過去分詞。如：
Everyone felt that his words hit close to home.
大家都認為他的話擊中了要害。
This problem is closely connected with that one.
這個問題與那個問題有密切的聯系。
3．I would like to reach a wide audience，though I mostly have adults in mind.
我想影響廣大的觀眾，雖然我主要想著成年人。
①would like（= would love/ should like）常用來表示有禮貌的請求或表示個人意愿，意為“想要、愿意”，其后常接名詞、代詞、動詞不定式或含有動詞不定式的復合結構。如；
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Would you like to help me with the washing up?
Would you like me to have a look at your new dictionary?
②audience屬于集合名詞。意為“聽眾、觀眾、讀者”，以整體考慮時視為單數，而重點放在個人時，則視為復數。如：
The audience was/ were fascinated by her beautiful song.
聽眾被她那美妙的歌聲迷住了。
The program is said to have an audience of over two million.
③mostly意為“主要地、大部分地”，無比較等級形式，只用作副詞而不能用作形容詞。如：
Our weather has been mostly warm. 我們這里的氣候多數情況下都很暖和。
4．Still，I do not think everybody will find my kind of humour funny.
但我還是認為并非所有人都會覺得我這類幽默好笑。
①still用作副詞，意為“盡管如此；然而；但還是”。如：
He has treated you badly；still，he is your brother and you should help him.
他待你很不好，但他終歸是你的兄弟，你應該幫助他。
Although she felt ill，she still went to work.
②注意本句英漢表達的區別。英語中有些動詞，如：think，believe，expect，suppose，feel，quess，imagine等。當它們后面接一個具有否定意義的賓語從句時，通常要把主句的動詞變為否定式，而賓語從句中的謂語動詞用肯定形式。這種現象稱為否定轉移。在反疑疑問句中，若陳述部分是第一人稱，think等詞用一般現在時，則疑問部分需與從句中的主語和謂語保持一致，否則要與主句的主語和謂語保持一致。如：
I don’t believe what he said is true，is it?
我認為他說的不是真話。
I don’t think it’s going to rain tomorrow，is it?
You don’t think I have made mistakes，do you?
你并不認為我犯了什么錯誤，是嗎？
5．Jokes about speaking a foreign language，German for example，always works.
有關說外國話的笑話，比如說德語，總是能引人發笑。
work表示“產生預期的結果或作用”的意思，是不及物動詞，指計劃、辦法等。獲得所希望的結果。如：
Did the cleaning fluid work（on that stain）?
這種洗滌劑（對那塊污斑）管用嗎？
My plan worked，and I got them to agree.
我的想法奏效了，我讓他們同意了。
Stories always work with children.
對孩子而言，故事總是管用的。
6．Cross-dressing men or women often appear on the stage.
穿異性服裝的男演員或女演員經常亮相舞臺。
appear意為“出現，呈現”，用作不及物動詞，不能用于被動語態，其反義詞為disappear.如：
A rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain. 雨后天空出現彩虹。
We expected him at seven but he didn’t appear until eight.
我們期待他7點會來，但他到8點才出現。
appear還可作“似乎，好像，顯得”，不用于進行時。如：
You don’t appear to care much for music.
你好像不怎么喜歡音樂。（appear to do sth.）
she appears （to be）an honest girl.
她似乎是個誠實的女孩。（appear [to be] n / adj）
appear，look ，seem的辨析
appear指根據事物的表面現象而提出的判斷，暗含事實往往并非如此。
look指憑視覺印象而做出的判斷，實際上也可能如此。
seem是指暗含有一定根據，往往接近事實的判斷，是強調內心的感受，它們之后都可以接名詞、形容詞，to be不定式等結構。
7．The actors make us laugh by making fun of somebody’s way of dressing or telling an amusing story.
表演者通過取笑某人的著裝方式，講述有趣的故事，引我們發笑。
①make sb. do sth.的意思是“使某人做某事”，其中的do sth.為不帶to的動詞不定式作賓語補足語，這一結構變為被動結構時，原來的賓語變成了主語，賓語補足語變成了主語補足語，這時的不定式要帶to，除make外，see，hear等動詞也可接不帶to的動詞不定式作賓語補足語。例如：
A funny movie often makes us laugh. 滑稽的影片常逗得我們捧腹大笑。
②介詞by與動名詞或名詞連用，表示方式、手段或原因，意為“通過，憑借，因為”。如：
He caught a cold by playing soccer in the rain.
他在雨中踢足球而感冒了。
Don’t judge a person by appearance. 不要以貌取人。
by多用于動作，表示通過做什么事情以取得預期的結果。
with多用于一件東西、工具等，表示我們用的是什么工具。如：
He got what he wanted by talking very cleverly.
他話說得很乘巧，因而得到了他想要的東西。
He got what he wanted with flowers and chocolates.
他靠花束和巧克力糖得到了他想要得到的東西。
③an amusing story意為“一個好笑的故事”，amusing是現在分詞作定語。此外，動名詞也可作定語，其區別為：現在分詞作定語，它與所修飾的名詞之間在邏輯上存在著主謂關系，表示這個名詞的動作，可改寫成一個定語從句；動名詞作定語通常表示它所修飾的名詞的用途，可改寫成一個for短語，二者不存在邏輯上的主謂關系。試比較：
a sleeping boy（= a boy who is sleeping）一個睡著的男孩
a sleeping car（= a car for sleeping）一輛臥車
8．Today students of English，even if English is their mother tongue，cannot understand his jokes.
今天，學英語的學生，即使英語是他們的母語，也無法理解他的笑話。
even if相當于even though，意為“即使；盡管”如：
We will go，even if it rains. 即使下雨，我們也要走。
He will come，even if he is ill. 即使病了，他也會來的。
Even though it is hard work，I enjoy it. 盡管很難，我喜歡這件事。
9．Another type of people whose job is to make people laugh are comedians.
另一種類型的使人發笑的專業人員就是喜劇演員。
type意為“類型，樣式”，type of后的名詞通常不加冠詞。如：
what type of blood is yours? 你是什么血型？
She isn’t my type of woman. 她不是我喜歡的那種類型的女人。
kind，sort，type的辨析
kind特指性質相同，且有極相似之特征，比較籠統、模糊，而sort指大體相似的東西，它們常被通用；type指“型，類型”等，比較具體和肯定。這三個詞之后多接單數名詞。如：this kind of car或cars of this kind.
10．What comedians have in common with the players in a comedy is their way of playing with words.
滑稽演員與喜劇演員，共同點在于說話玩弄辭藻。
（have）…in common（with）意為“（和……）有共同之處，（和……）一樣”例如：
I haven’t a thing in common with my father.
In common with most young people he hates getting up in the morning.
他跟大多數年輕人一樣，早晨不愿起床。
out of the common異乎尋常，不平常。例如：
He had noticed nothing out of the common.
他沒有發現異乎尋常的事。
10．A few minutes later everybody is quiet，listening and thinking about the comedian’s words.
過了幾分鐘，大家都安靜下來，聽著臺詞陷入沉思。
listening and thinking…是現在分詞作伴隨狀語，表示同步于句子謂語的動作。例如：
Singing a pop song in a low voice，the girl came into the yard.
這姑娘低聲哼著流行歌曲，走進了院子。
The old man sat by the window，reading a newspaper.
11．Typical for China is the crosstalk show，where a pair of comedians entertain the audience with word play.
中國喜劇的典型是相聲，兩個滑稽演員通過玩弄辭藻來逗樂觀眾。
這是一句倒裝句，其主語是the crosstalk show，typical是形容詞，作表語。原來句子順序是The crosstalk show，…，is typical for China.但由于show后面跟了一句較長的非限制性定語從句，整個句子結構不平衡，所以把表語和系動詞前置。
12．Dating back to the Qing Dynasty，the traditional crosstalk shows，xiangsheng shows，have made people all over China roar with laughter for centuries.
傳統的相聲表演可以追溯到秦朝，已使全中國人笑了幾百年了。
date back to是固定短語，解釋為“可追溯到……；是……時代開始有的”不能用于被動語態，謂語常用一般現在時。
例如：This town dates back to Roman times.這個小鎮的歷史可以追溯到羅馬時期。
date from與date back to意思相似。例如：
The custom dates from the time when men wore swords.這一習慣開始于男子佩劍時代。
13．Skilled artists make use of all the richness of spoken language to create a rapid flow of fun.
技藝高超的藝術家利用豐富多彩的口語，創造出連綿不絕的樂趣。
a flow of表示“某事物的持續或連續供應”。又如：
cut off the flow of oil 切斷石油輸送
the constant flow of information源源不斷的信息
14．I decided to look on the whole matter as a great joke!
我決定將整件事情當作一個大笑話！
look on sb. / sth. as sb./ sth. 意為“將某人/某事看作…”例如：
She is looked on as the leading authority on the subject.她被認為是該問題的主要權威。

Teaching Aims:
1.Learn the“-ing”form used as the Attribute and Object Complement.
2.Learn about word formation.
3.Improve the students' ability to make sentences and write.

Teaching Aids:
1.a projector and some slides
2.a computer for multimedia use
Teaching Procedures:
step Ⅰ. Revision
Teacher checks the students' homework.
step II. Word Study
Read these sentences and find words of the same root from this unit. Then translate the sentences into Chinese. Do you know what“the words of the same root”means? For example, we have learned the words: nation n.; national adj.; nationality n. And we can say that the three words have the same root, because each of them has the word root“nation”
Step III. Grammar
Now please turn to Page 42.Look at Grammar: The -ing form(1) can often be used as the Attribute.
The Attribute: If an“-ing”form is a single word, it is usually put before the word it modifies. If it is a phrase. It is often placed after the word it modifies.
Examples:
1.interesting crosstalk amusing story
laughing audience cross-dressing men
2.Woody Allen is famous for her role acting as a woman.
In the four phrases, each“-ing”form is used as the attributive. Because it is a single word, it is put before the word it modifies, while in the sentence, the“-ing”form is placed after the word it modifies, because it is a phrase
More examples:
a flaming ray灼熱的光線； the dancing girl舞女
working people勞動人民 smilig faces微笑的面孔；
a flying kite翱翔的風箏 an interesting crosstalk有趣的相聲；
an exciting event激動人心的事件 the rising sun升起的太陽；
the suffering peasants受苦受難的農民 the coming week下周；
The Object Complement:It is used after the verbs: see, hear, feel, watch, notice, keep, find,
get, have etc.
Now, let’s look at the v-ing used as object complement
1.I saw them forcing (force) the door open with a hammer.
2.We heard them laughing (laugh) after the comedy show; they sounded very happy.
3.I heard him dropping (drop) something heavy into the river.
4.You can see them performing (perform) every night this week at the New Theatre.
5.I could hear the newly-married couple quarrelling (quarrel) every day over very small matters.

7.I saw the people entering (enter) the theatre, and there were 286 of them.
8.We watched three old men sharing (share) their food with each other.
9.We watched the children diving (dive) into the water from the top diving board.

補充歸納：
一、關于“動詞+賓語+補語”結構
1.不定式作賓語補足語
(1)可用不定式作賓語補足語的動詞有：
ask,beg,cause,expect,force,forbid,oblige,invite,order,permit,require,persuade,want,warn,call on, wait for等。
But he didn't invite her to have dinner with them.
(2)下列動詞后面跟不定式作賓語補足語時要省略to have, let, make, hear, see, watch, notice, observe, listen to, look at, feel等(help后帶不帶to均可)。
He listened to his mother climb the stairs.
Will you help me(to)repair my bike?
(3)另外下列動詞后面也可以用不定式作賓補：allow, drive, get, wish,hate,leave,like,set,teach等。
I'd like you to come and meet my relatives.
2.現在分詞作賓補
可帶現在分詞作賓補的動詞：
(1)feed, find, get, have, hear, keep, see, send, watch等。
The night before the procession, the two cheats had their lights burning all night long.
After an hour or two I felt the wind getting stronger.
(2)leave, observe, set, smell, listen to look at等。
They went off together and left me sitting there.
3.過去分詞作賓補
可帶過去分詞作賓補的動詞：

(2)hear, make, watch等。

4.形容詞或名詞作賓補
除上面的非謂語動詞之外，還有少數動詞可以帶to be加形容詞作賓補，用來說明賓語的狀態或特征。
The Arctic Ocean is considered by some people to be a northern part of the Atlantic Ocean.
另外，find, think, know, believe, suppose等也可以如此用法。其中consider, find, think的賓補也可不用to be，直接用形容詞或名詞。
We found him(to be)dishonest.
They thought Mary(to be)the best singer in the class.
We know this to be a fact.
5.注意各種不同賓補的區分
(1)現在分詞和過去分詞作賓補的區別：現在分詞作賓補時，賓語和賓補有邏輯主謂關系。
Tom heard Mary singing in the next room.
而過去分詞作賓補時，賓語是后面過去分詞的承受者。
Jack wants to have his hair cut.
(2)不定式和現在分詞作賓補的區別：不定式作賓補時，賓語和賓補有邏輯主謂關系，并有將要發生的含義，而現在分詞作賓補時有正發生或已發生的含義。

Don't have horses running at the door?(running表示正在或一直不停地跑)
Do you hear someone knocking at the door?
I heard someone knock(at the door)three times.我聽見有人敲過三次門。
二、with的用法歸納
(1)表示“和……一起”。
He is going to study English with me.他要和我一起學英語。
He is staying with his uncle.他和他叔叔住在一起。
(2)表示“一致；同意，同情”。
As to this point I cannot agree with you.關于這點我不能同意你。

(4)表示“用……材料覆蓋、填充、裝飾、供應等”。
Fill the glass with wine.把杯子倒滿酒。
We are well provided with food and clothing.

(5)表示工具、媒介，作“用……，以……”解，with在此種用法中可用于主動語態和被動語態的句子中。
I dry my hand and face with a towel.我用毛巾擦干手和臉。
(6)表示“具有、附有”之意，相當于“having”。
There was a box with a lid on the desk.桌上有一只附有蓋子的盒子。
(7)表示“帶在……身上”，多用在bring, carry, have, take等動詞之后。
I have no money with me.我身上沒有帶錢。

(16)表示讓步，作“盡管、雖然”解，相當于“in spite of”。

(17)表示“某一動作的附帶狀態”，常形成“with+obj.+補語”的句型。
I sleep with the windows open.我開著窗睡覺。
He went out with his hat on.他戴著帽子出去。
(18)與副詞連用形成“副詞+with+賓語”的感嘆句。
Off with your hat!=Take off your hat!脫帽！
Down with your money.交出錢來。
三、詞語辨析
(一)kind, sort, type
1.漢語中的“種”“類”意思相近而又有區別。英語中也一樣，kind, sort, type等用法相同又有區別。總的來說，kind和sort用法是相同的，只是kind較正式，sort則多用于口語和商業用語，另外，sort有時含有輕蔑的意味。type則指更為具體的東西，譯為“類型、型號、樣式”。
Do you know what type of blood is yours?
你知道你的血型嗎？
常見的表示種類的詞組有：a kind/sort of, this kind of, that kind of, all kinds of, many kinds of, different kinds of, various kinds of,等；of后面的名詞多用單數，且不用冠詞。如：a kind of flower, all kinds of bamboo.
2.說某一種類的東西常用of a kind的結構。
They are all of a kind, I like roses of this kind.
3.問種類常見的方法是：
What kind/sort of book do you like?你喜歡哪類書？
What kind/sort of man is he?他是哪種類型的人？
4.sort含有輕蔑的意味。如：
How did you get this sort of idea into your head?你怎么想出這種主意來呢？
I'll do nothing of this sort.這種事我不干。
5.a kind of car, a sort of car, a new type of car等都可以說，而type更側重外觀“式樣”，含“風格”的意思。
Her beauty was of another type.她的美麗是另一種風格的。
(二)make fun of, play a joke on, laugh at,意思是“取笑，嘲弄某人”；
play a joke on sb.意思是“開某人玩笑、戲弄某人”;
laugh at sb.意思是“譏笑、諷刺某人”。
It's wrong to make fun of the blind.取笑盲人是不對的。
We shouldn't play a joke on the cripples.我們不應捉弄殘疾人。
Many scientists laughed at it .But Einstein stuck to his theory and went on with his research.
