lesson 4 The double life of Aflred Bloggs duola 课文原文 ① These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. ②People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. ③Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. ④This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation. ⑤When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. ⑥He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. ⑦He then changed into overalls (n.工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. ⑧Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. ⑨Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. ⑩Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. ⑪He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. ⑫He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. ⑬From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'. 重点: 1、本课书重点词汇、句型 2、词汇辨析:get married与be married;invent、discover、find与create 3、关于“倍数”的表达;too...to.../so ...that的表达等 难点:worth的用法 教学目标: 1、能理解课文大意、掌握课文中重点词汇、句型 2、能辨析相关近义词汇 3、理解worth的用法、记住worth的用法误区 课文精解 二、【课文讲解】 ①These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. 词汇 manual adj.体力的 (= physical adj.身体的, 物质的) manual work 体力工作=physical work mental work 脑力工作 翻译例句:1.体力工作和脑力工作都需要能量。 2. 有时脑力工作比体力劳动更消耗能量。 句法 people who do manual work = blue-collar workers people who do mental work = white-collar workers = people who work in offices for more money(far副词用来加强语气表远比...= much) 翻译 例句:高尚的(gracious)穷人比势利的(snobbish)富人更值得让人尊重。 A gracious poor man is far more respectful than a snobbish rich man ②People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. refer to...as = regard...as 把...看作为 - I always refer to him as bookworm(n.书呆子) for the simple reason = for 引导的原因状语从句 “出于这个原因” for the reason that(后加从句)多用于正式文体,because多用于口语中。 - He is referred to as a book worm for the simple reason that he spare no efforts reading. - He was sent to prison for he could not pay his debts. 即学即用: 努力奋斗的人更容易被视为成功者。(用定语从句表达) 因为他脾气暴躁,所以他老婆跟他离婚了。(get divorced with sb) 出于这个原因,他决定一览长城。 People who work hard are more likely to be seen as successful.
