摘要:
本高中英语讲义以“加拿大城市旅行”为主题,构建“词汇积累-语篇理解-文化语法整合”学习支架,涵盖26个核心词汇(如熟词生义kill、动词短语proceed to sth.)、固定搭配(spend time (in) doing sth.)及词性转换(astonish→astonished),为阅读语篇奠定基础,再通过记叙文分析多伦多与蒙特利尔的景观、文化差异及语法现象(如非限制性定语从句)。
该资料通过“词汇-语篇-文化”联动设计,助力学生提升语言能力(如运用owe sth. to sb.等短语),增强文化意识(对比多伦多唐人街与蒙特利尔魁北克文化),培养思维品质(分析现在完成进行时表持续动作)。课中辅助教师讲解词汇语法,课后学生可借助词汇表和语篇注释复习,弥补语言知识与文化理解盲点。

SEEING THE TRUE
NORTH VIA RAIL:TORONTO
AND MONTREAL
After Li Daiyu and her cousin arrived in Toronto, the largest and wealthiest city in Canada, they only [1]had a few hours to kill① before they had to proceed② to the next leg of their trip to Montreal, so they went on a tour of the city.They went up the CN Tower and looked across the shores③ of Lake Ontario.[2]Standing in the distance④, they were astonished⑤ [3]to see misty⑥ clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls, [4]which is on the south side of the lake. Water from the lakes flows into⑦ the Niagara River and over the falls on its way to⑧ the sea.
[1]此处是“have sth. to do”结构,意为“有某事要做”。
[2]此处是现在分词短语作时间状语。
[3]此处是动词不定式短语作原因状语,see misty clouds rising为“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。
[4]此处是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Niagara Falls。
The girls saw hundreds of skyscrapers of glass and steel⑨, and old-fashioned⑩ cars rolling by⑪. [5]As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said, “Lin Fei, one of my mother's old schoolmates, lives here. I should phone her and see if she's available⑫ for dinner.”
[5]此处是as引导的时间状语从句,as意为“在……的时候”。
They met Lin Fei around dusk⑬ over dinner at a restaurant in downtown Chinatown.The cousins chatted with⑭ Lin Fei, [6]who had moved to Canada many years earlier.
[6]此处是who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Lin Fei。
“This is the largest Chinatown in Toronto.We have a few more in the Greater Toronto Area, so you can guess that there are a lot of Chinese people in Canada! Chinese people [7]have been coming here for more than a hundred years.Therefore, we can get all kinds of⑮ great food here from all over China,” Lin Fei told them.
[7]此处是现在完成进行时,表示动作从过去某一时间开始,一直持续到现在,并且可能会继续下去。
The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal early the next morning.At the station, in contrast to⑯Toronto, they [8]heard people talking in French.They were surprised [9]to see that all the signs and advertisements⑰ were in French and many people spoke English with an accent⑱.
[8]此处是“hear sb. doing sth.”结构,意为“听到某人在做某事”。
[9]此处是动词不定式短语作原因状语。
“We don't leave until this evening,” said Liu Qian.“Let's go downtown.Old Montreal is close to the water.”
They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and visiting⑲ artists in their workplaces along St Paul Street.As they sat in a restaurant alongside the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them.
“Hello, my name is Jean-Philippe.I'm a photographer⑳,” he said, “and I was wondering where you are from.”
The girls told him they were from China and were on a train trip across Canada. When they told him they had only one day in Montreal, he said,“That's too bad. You owe㉑ it to yourselves to stay longer.Overall㉒, Montreal is a city [10]with wonderful sights and sounds.Most of us speak both English and French, and the city has unique Quebec culture and traditions.There are fantastic restaurants and clubs around, too.Here, we love good coffee, toast㉓, and cheese. And good music, of course!”
[10]此处是介词短语作定语,修饰a city。
That night the train was speeding㉔ along the St Lawrence River towards the Gulf of St Lawrence and down to the distant east coast towards the province of Nova Scotia and its largest city, Halifax.The cousins dreamt happily of㉕ the beautiful cobblestone㉖ streets, old brick buildings, and the red maple leaves of Montreal.
通过铁路看到
真正的北方:多伦多
和蒙特利尔
李黛予和她的表妹来到加拿大最大、最富有的城市多伦多后,离出发前往下一站蒙特利尔之前只有几个小时的时间,于是她们就在多伦多逛了逛。她们登上加拿大国家电视塔,眺望安大略湖的对岸。站在远处,她们看到湖南边尼亚加拉大瀑布升腾而起的水雾,感到非常震撼。湖水流入尼亚加拉河,越过瀑布流向大海。
两个女孩看到了成百上千的由玻璃和钢铁建成的摩天大楼,还看到了驶过的老式汽车。当她们从港区往北走时,李黛予说:“我母亲的一个老同学林菲住在这里。我得给她打个电话,看看她是否有空共进晚餐。”
黄昏时分,她们在市中心唐人街的一家餐馆里跟林菲见面吃饭。这对表姐妹和林菲聊了起来,林菲早在很多年前就搬到了加拿大。
“这是多伦多最大的唐人街。大多伦多地区也还有几处唐人街,所以你可以猜到在加拿大有很多中国人!一百多年来,中国人一直持续不断地来到这里。因此,我们可以吃到各种各样来自中国各地的美食,”林菲告诉她们。
火车当天深夜离开,第二天清晨到达蒙特利尔。与多伦多不同的是,她们在车站听到人们用法语交谈。她们惊讶地发现所有的指示牌和广告都是用法语写的,许多人说英语带有口音。
“我们直到今晚才离开,”刘倩说。“我们去市区逛逛吧。蒙特利尔旧城离水很近。”
她们在圣保罗街上可爱的商店里度过了一个下午,并拜访了工作场所里的艺术家。当她们坐在宽阔的圣劳伦斯河边的一家餐馆里时,一位年轻男士也坐了下来。
“你们好,我叫让·菲利普,是一名摄影师,”他说,“我想知道你们是哪里人。”
女孩们告诉他,她们来自中国,正在乘火车穿越加拿大。当她们告诉他,她们在蒙特利尔只待一天的时间时,他说,“那太可惜了。你们应该多待一会儿。总的来说,蒙特利尔是一座声色俱佳的城市。我们大多数人既说英语也说法语,这座城市拥有独特的魁北克文化和传统。周围还有很棒的餐馆和俱乐部。我们这里的人喜欢美味的咖啡、烤面包片和奶酪。当然还有动听的音乐!”
那天晚上,火车沿着圣劳伦斯河向圣劳伦斯湾飞驰,沿着遥远的东海岸驶向新斯科舍省和该省最大的城市哈利法克斯。这对表姐妹愉快地梦见蒙特利尔美丽的铺有鹅卵石的街道、古老的砖砌建筑和红枫树叶。
