一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们学习动词加上宾语再加上动词不定式的用法, 比方 "用信用 卡买" use credit cards to buy. "准许你用" permit you to use 等等, 我们还要谈 一谈美国人怎么用信用卡代替现钱来买东西.

首先我们听一段对话,内容是说凯特跟亨利谈起了用信用卡的事情. 请你注意 两位英文老师的发音和语调.

F: I am happy I started carrying the credit card that the bank gave us.

(来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

M: Why is that, Kate? Did you use it to buy something?

F: I sure did. On the way home I stopped at the store to buy some beef for dinner. I forgot that I didn't have any cash with me.

(来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

M: And they permitted you to pay with the card?

F: Yes. They didn't even ask me to give them identification. (来源：英语美食指南 http://food.englishcn.com)

M: We have to be careful. If we lose them and someone finds them, the bank will charge us for what they buy. (来源：英语问答中心 http://ask.englishcn.com)

F: How much has the bank authorized us to spend with the card? (来源：英语麦当劳－英语学习门户 EnglishCN.com)

M: Fifteen hundred dollars. The bank encourages us to use the card, but they will also require us to pay them back.

(来源：EnglishCN英语问答中心[e问e答])

F: You are right, Henry. I'll remember that.But the card sure makes it easy to spend money.

现在我们听两位老师用慢速度再把整段对话再念一遍.

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." The bank requires her to 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.

从刚才作的练习里我们可以知道, 在美国如果你在银行里有储蓄, 银行可能给 你信用卡代替现款用, 一段时间之后你才加上利息还清. 下面我们作一组代换 练习看看美国人常常用信用卡买什么东西, 比方买汽油, 买车票, 戏票, 付账等 等. 美国人也用信用卡邮购东西, 也就是 place mail orders, 或是"证明自己的 身份 "identify themselves. 现在我们开始作练习. 请你跟着老师把第一个句子 重复一遍, 然后把老师提出的词组代换到原来的句子里, 每作完一句就请你听 老师再把句子念一遍. (来源：英语交友 http://friends.englishcn.com)

下面我们换一个方式作练习, 一方面复习今天教的语法, 一方面再学一学信用 卡的用途, 比方 "买家具" buy furnitures, "订杂志" subscribe to magazines, "订礼物"order gifts 等等.练习的作法是老师念一个被动语态句子,请你用 one, o-n-e, one 作主语把句子改成主动语态说出来.下面就是一个例子:

(来源：专业英语学习网站 http://www.EnglishCN.com)

三.听短文回答问题 (来源：英语聊天室 http://chat.EnglishCN.com)

现在我们来作这一课的听力测验. 今天我们要听的文章是介绍美国人用信用 卡的情况.文章里不但提到什么是信用卡,为什么许多美国人买东西不用现款, 不开支票, 而用信用卡, 文章也解释了用信用卡的种种规定和信用卡的种种 用途. 文章里的词汇都是我们以前学过或是刚才练习过的.

现在请你注意听.

Americans spend a lot of money in their daily lives. Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on various expenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment, go to sporting events and do many things that cost money. (来源：英语e问e答 http://ask.englishcn.com)

However, many Americans don't pay cash or write checks for these things. More and more they pay for things with credit cards. Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语快餐EnglishCN.com)

Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes the store to charge the bank for the customer's purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It allows the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time. (来源：英语交友 http://friends.englishcn.com)

However, the bank requires the customer to pay interest on the unpaid part of the charges. (来源：英语麦当劳－英语快餐EnglishCN.com)

In this way the bank allows customers to buy things they cannot afford at one time.

(来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 www.EnglishCN.com)

People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. (来源：英语学习门户网站EnglishCN.com)

They also do not need to carry a lot of money.

刚才那篇文章如果你没有全部听懂, 没有关系, 等一会儿你还有机会听. 现在 我们先把今天测验的三个问题听一遍.

第一个问题是:

(来源：英语论坛 http://bbs.englishcn.com)

M: How do Americans pay for things they buy?

(来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

第三个问题是:

(来源：英语电影下载 http://bt.englishcn.com)

现在我请英文老师用慢速度再把整篇文章念一遍.
