Last week, our teacher asked us to draw a family tree, so I interviewed my grandmother. She pointed at an old photograph and said that everyone in it was related to us. She told me that our ancestors came to Taiwan about two hundred years ago and settled near a virgin forest. When my great-grandmother was young, she worked as a maid, and all the servants had to call the mistress of the house 'Madam'. After she got married, she became a housewife and did domestic work all day, even during her pregnancy. As for my grandfather, he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, but he studied hard and became a teacher.
上星期,老師要我們畫一棵家族樹,所以我去訪問了奶奶。
Last week, our teacher asked us to draw a family tree, so I interviewed my grandmother.
ask sb to + 原形動詞是「要求某人做…」。family tree 是「家族樹、家譜圖」。so 引出結果,前面加逗號;interview 當動詞是「訪問」,後面直接接人,不加介系詞。
她指著一張舊照片說,照片裡的每個人都和我們有親戚關係。
She pointed at an old photograph and said that everyone in it was related to us.
point at 是「指向」。said 是過去式,所以 that 子句也要用過去式 was(時態一致)。be related to sb 是「與某人有親戚關係」;everyone 雖然指很多人,但視為單數,動詞用 was。
她說,我們的祖先大約兩百年前來到台灣,在一片原始森林(virgin)附近定居下來。
She told me that our ancestors came to Taiwan about two hundred years ago and settled near a virgin forest.
ancestor 是「祖先」,談整個家族時通常用複數 ancestors。ago 要搭配過去簡單式(came、settled)。virgin forest 是「未經開發的原始森林」,virgin 在這裡表示「未被人類破壞的」。tell sb that… 後面一定要有受詞 me。
曾祖母年輕時當過女傭,所有的僕人都得稱女主人為「夫人」(Madam)。
When my great-grandmother was young, she worked as a maid, and all the servants had to call the mistress of the house 'Madam'.
maid 是「女傭」;the mistress of the house 是「(一家的)女主人」,不過 mistress 也有「情婦」的意思,平常寫作要小心使用。Madam 是對女士的尊稱;像本句這樣當頭銜、稱呼語使用時字首大寫,一般對話中 Yes, madam. 則可小寫。call sb sth 是「稱呼某人為…」;had to 是 have to 的過去式。
結婚後,她成了家庭主婦,連懷孕期間也整天操持家務。
After she got married, she became a housewife and did domestic work all day, even during her pregnancy.
get married 是「結婚」,強調動作;housewife 是「家庭主婦」;domestic 當形容詞是「家務的、家庭的」,domestic work 也可說 housework。during + 名詞(during her pregnancy)表示「在…期間」,pregnancy 是「懷孕(期)」。
至於外公,他是個在孤兒院長大的孤兒,卻靠著努力讀書成為老師。
As for my grandfather, he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, but he studied hard and became a teacher.
As for 是「至於」,用來轉換話題。orphan 是「孤兒」,orphanage 是「孤兒院」;who 引導限定關係子句,說明是怎樣的孤兒。studied hard 與 became 是兩個並列的過去式動詞。
Many people think that taking care of an infant is a housewife's job, but I strongly believe that fathers should take parental leave, too.
First, a baby needs consistent love from both parents. A father's presence gives the child a sense of safety, and playing together helps them grow close. Second, a new mother needs rest. A pregnant woman often feels tired for months, and after the birth she must get up several times a night for the infant. If her husband shares the work, she can sleep better and will not feel so upset all day. Third, sharing domestic work makes a marriage stronger. Couples who quarrel over housework every day may end up in divorce.
Some people worry that a company will be short of workers for weeks. However, with good planning, everyone can do their jobs. For a happy family, a few weeks of leave is a small price to pay.
許多人認為照顧嬰兒是家庭主婦的工作,但我堅信爸爸也應該請育嬰假。
首先,寶寶需要父母雙方持續的愛。爸爸的陪伴能給孩子安全感,一起玩耍也能讓他們變得親近。其次,新手媽媽需要休息。孕婦往往連續好幾個月都覺得疲倦,生產後她還得每晚起床好幾次照顧嬰兒。如果她的先生分擔工作,她就能睡得更好,也不會整天心情煩躁。第三,分擔家務能讓婚姻更穩固。每天為了家事爭吵的夫妻,可能落得離婚的下場。
有些人擔心公司會有好幾週人手不足。然而,只要好好規畫,大家都能完成工作。為了一個幸福的家庭,幾週的假期只是個很小的代價。
本題屬於「表態型」,在二選一或贊成/反對的題目中,第一段就要明確表態。開頭先用 Many people think… but I strongly believe… 點出社會上的普遍想法,再亮出自己的立場,形成對照。主體段用 First、Second、Third 列出三個理由:寶寶需要雙親、媽媽需要休息、分擔家務讓婚姻穩固,每個理由都附一個生活中的具體情況(一起玩耍、半夜起床、為家事爭吵)。最後一段先回應「公司人力」這個可能的反對意見,再用一句話回到主題收尾。全篇維持中立、體貼的語氣,聚焦家庭福祉,不要攻擊任何一方。
taking care of an infant is a housewife's job
動名詞片語 taking care of an infant 當 that 子句的主詞,視為單數,所以動詞用 is。動名詞當主詞可以表達「做某件事」這個概念。
Eating breakfast is good for your health.
吃早餐對健康有益。
I strongly believe that fathers should take parental leave
that 子句是 believe 的受詞,說明「相信的內容」。strongly 放在 believe 前面加強語氣,是表態文章常用的開頭。
I truly believe that everyone can learn a language.
我真心相信每個人都能學會一種語言。
If her husband shares the work, she can sleep better and will not feel so upset all day
if 子句用現在簡單式,主要子句用 can / will + 原形動詞,表示未來可能成真的情況。can sleep 與 will not feel 是兩個並列的結果。
If you leave now, you can catch the bus.
如果你現在出門,就趕得上公車。
Couples who quarrel over housework every day may end up in divorce
who 引導限定關係子句,修飾 couples,說明是「怎樣的夫妻」。may end up in 是「可能落得…的下場」,may 的語氣比 will 保守,適合用來陳述可能性而不誇大。
Students who read every day often write better.
每天閱讀的學生通常寫得比較好。
However, with good planning, everyone can do their jobs.
However 用來回應前面提到的反對意見,表示轉折。with good planning 是介系詞片語,意思是「只要好好規畫」,放在逗號之間當插入語。
The test was hard. However, most students passed.
考試很難。然而,大部分學生都及格了。
She pointed at an old photograph and said that everyone in it was related to us
間接敘述:主要動詞 said 是過去式,that 子句裡的動詞也要往過去推,所以用 was,而不是 is。
He said that he was tired.
他說他累了。
