二.动词加宾语再加动词不定式
听了上面那些句子,你可能觉得今天要学的语法并不难, 不过句子里有些词汇,比方 "准许" permit, "授权"authorize. "鼓励" encourage等等你或许觉得有点儿生疏. 现在我们作第一组练习, 一方面学习语法,一方面记词汇. 我请英文老师根据刚才那段对话念一些句子.这些句子都跟凯特用信用卡有关系.比方"银行规定她必须有储蓄账户."Thebankrequiresherto have a saving account."银行可能要她付利息" The bank may ask her to pay interest.等等. 你先注意听男老师念句子, 然后跟着女老师把句子重复一遍.

M: The bank permitted her to charge with it.
F:The bank permitted her to charge with it.

下面我们再作一组练习把语法和词汇重复练习一遍. 练习的作法是老师用疑问词提出问句, 比方 What did the bank permit Kate to use? 接着老师念一个词组,比方 acreditcard,学生就用词组来回答问题,所以答案就是 The bankpermitted Kate to use a credit card. 现在我们开始作练习.在学生回答问题的时候请你也一起回答.

下面我们再作一组练习, 一方面再学学今天这一课的语法, 一方面也可以学一学在美国人们用信用卡的种种规定,比方有固定收入的人才可以申请信用卡,顾客用信用卡买东西必须在账单上签名, 除了银行,大商店也可以发信用卡给信用好的顾客等等. 练习的作法是老师念一个有从句的被动语态句子,比方"申请信用卡的人必须交出他们的财务方面的资料." People who are applying for a credit card are required to supply their financial information.请你用商店作主语把句子改成主动语态,所以答案就是 "商店要求申请信用卡的人交出财务方面的资料."The storerequires people who are applying for a credit card to supply their financial information. 这组练习里的句子比较长, 请你特别注意听, 每作完一句, 老师会念出正确答案给你听.
M: People who have regular incomes are permitted to apply for a credit card.
