Lesson 4 Can you go grab a jar of pasta sauce from the next aisle?你能去旁边的通道拿一罐意大利面酱吗?

Part 1 Real Life Situation

使用场景

You're grocery shopping with your son.You want to get pasta sauce,but it's in a part of the store that you've already been to.

你跟你的儿子一起去杂货店买东西。你想买意大利面酱,但是你已经走过了放意大利面酱的区域。

You ask your son this:Can you go grab a jar of pasta sauce from the next aisle?

所以你这样问你的儿子:你能去旁边的通道拿一罐意大利面酱吗?

Part 2 Pronunciation and intonation

发音讲解

So,in the sentence,pay attention to the pro-nunciation of these parts.

在这一句中,注意以下部分的发音:

1.In"Can you","can" is not pronounced as/kæn/but is weakened as/kən/.

1.在 “Can you” 中,“can” 不能发成/kæn/,而是要弱读成/kən/。

2.Try to link the words "grab a jar of",and weaken the word "of".Don't say/əv/,say/ə/.

2.试着将 “grab a jar of” 连读,并弱化 “of”,不要读成/əv/,而是/ə/。

3.Please don't add the "r" sound in "pasta"and "sauce":It's not "paster",but "pasta";not"source",but "sauce".

3.不要给 “pasta” 和 “sauce”的发音加上 “r”:不是 “paster”,是pasta;不是 “source”,是sauce

4."From" should be weakened,don't say/frɑːm/,say/frəm/.

4.“from” 应该弱读,不要读成/frɑːm/,而是/frəm/。

5.You don't need to link the words "next aisle",just leave out the "t" in next,and say"aisle" clearly.Also,if you used to say/aɪsl/,you were wrong.

5.“next aisle” 不用连读,省略next中的 “t” 就可以,“aisle” 发音要清 晰。另 外,如 果 你 习 惯 把“aisle” 读成/aɪsl/,你就错了。

Now,let's focus on tone and intonation.

现在,我们重点看看语气和语调。

In general,since it's a yes-or-no question,it should end with a rising tone:aisle.

一般来说,因为这是一般疑问句,它应该以升调结束:aisle。

Then,in "pasta sauce" the stress should be on "pasta",because you are specifying the type of sauce.

在 “pasta sauce” 中,“pas-ta” 要重读,因为你具体指出了酱的类型。

So,now you know how to say this sentence like a native speaker.

现在,你知道怎么像英语母语人士一样说这句话了。

Part 3 My explanation

英文讲解

The first expression we will learn is 我们要学习的第1个表达是

grabsomething) ( from somewhere某处某物

In casual English,you can sometimes use the word "grab" to mean "get".It means that you want someone to get it and bring it to you.

在非正式英语中,你可以用“grab” 这个词表示 “拿”。意思是你想要某人拿到某物,然后带给你。

Here are some other examples of "grab"used in this way:

以下是更多 “grab” 这种用法的例子:

I'm headed out to grab some lunch.You want me to pick you up something?

我要出去吃午饭了,你需要我帮你带点儿什么吗?

Jason,go grab your sister.I need her help with this.

杰森,去把你的妹妹找来,我需要她帮我做这个。

Use "from________" to tell where the thing that's being grabbed is.

使用 “from________” 来表示需要拿的东西在哪里。

Can you grab my screwdriver from the drawer in the basement?

你能从地下室的抽屉里帮我拿螺丝刀吗?

One other point:"grabbing" something means that you get it quickly.If it's going to take a long time to get something,don't use the word"grab".

另外一点:“grabbing” 意味着很快就能拿到某物。如果需要很长时间才能拿到,就不要使用 “grab” 这个词了。

The second expression we will learn is 我们要学习的第2个表达是

a jar ofsomething一罐某物

A jar is a glass bottle with a wide opening at the top.Pasta sauce is sold in a jar in the U.S.

“jar” 是一个顶部有宽大开口的玻璃瓶。在美国,意大利面酱通常装在这样的罐子里出售。

The third expression we will learn is 我们要学习的第3个表达是

the next aisle旁边的通道

An aisle is a space in between rows of things,like between seats or shelves.Most stores have aisles with different types of items on each aisle.

In the example above,"the next aisle"means"the aisle next to this one".It doesn't nec-essarily mean the one that you're going to next.

通道是两列东西之间的空间,如座位或货架之间的空间。大多数商店都有通道,每个通道上有不同种类的货品。

在上面的例子中,“the next aisle”的意思是 “这个通道旁边的通道”。它并不一定表示你下一个要去的通道。

The fourth expression we will learn is 我们要学习的第4个表达是

godo something做某事

In casual speech,you say "go (do some-thing)" to mean "go (somewhere) and (do something)".

在非正式英语中,如果你说 “go (do something)” 意味着 “去 (某处) 做 (某事)”。

For example

Do you want to go see a movie?你想去看电影吗?(This means to go to a movie the-ater and watch a movie.这句话的意思是去电影院看电影。)

Could you go find me a screwdriver somewhere?你能去哪儿帮我找一把螺丝刀吗?

(This means to go to the place where tools are kept and find a screwdriver for the speaker to use.这句话的意思是去放工具的地方找一把螺丝刀供说话人使用。)
