俗话说,“小孩小孩你别馋,过了腊八就是年。”农历腊月初八,是中国传统节日——腊八节(Laba Festival)。“腊”代表中国农历的十二月,腊八粥(Laba porridge)是Laba Festival的“重头戏”。Sally和Jolly用Vlog记录了他们一家过Laba Festival的温暖生活,咱们一起去看看吧!
腊八粥也称“八宝粥”(Babao porridge),它由多种食材熬制而成,但各地食材搭配有所不同,主要有米(rice)、红豆(red beans)、莲子(lotus seeds)、枣子(dates)、花生(peanuts)等。
Sally和Jolly在超市挑选食材,想知道近处多个物品是什么时,可以问:“What are these?”询问较远的物品时,可以问:“What are those?”“these”和“those”指代复数的事物,回答都用“They are ...”或“Theyre ...”,意思是“它们是……”。
“Are these/those ...?”意为:“这些/那些是……吗?”它是一般疑问句,其答句用:“Yes, they are./No, they arent.”
选择正确的选项补全句子。
( ) 1.—Are these peanuts? —Yes, they _________.
A. are B. arent
( ) 2. —What are those? —_________ dates.
A. Its B. Theyre
買东西询问价格时,可以用“How much”,意思是“多少钱”。单数或不可数名词用:“How much is ...? ”回答时常用:“Its+价格.”复数名词用:“How much are ...? ”回答时常用:“Theyre+价格.”
“How much”除了可以用来询问价格,还可以用来询问不可数名词的量。如:How much rice would you like? (你想要多少米饭?)询问可数名词的量用“How many”,如:How many apples would you like? (你想要多少个苹果?)
选词填空。
A. How many B. How much
1. — are these peanuts? —Fifteen yuan, please.
2. — dates do you have? —I have thirty-two.
3. — porridge would you like? —Id like a bowl of porridge.
Sally想知道腊八粥的味道如何,于是问:“How is it?”妈妈用“Its hot and nice.”来表达对腊八粥的夸赞。
“How”还经常与其他形容词或副词搭配使用,构成特殊疑问词。如:“How old” 用于询问年龄,“How about” 用于询问对方意见,“How long”用于询问花费的时间和物体的长度,“How far ”用于询问距离,等等。
