生活英语对话 Episode 4 : Another Round
本单元是关于在酒吧的对话
Michal: She's beautiful.
Alice: What's wrong with you?
Helen: Nothing! You know I think Michal really likes you.
Alice: Don't be daft! He's only being polite.
Helen: Do you think so?
Alice: Yes, and why are you so interested all of a sudden?
Helen: No, no reason really. Look, I've got to get back to the flat, I've got loads of studying to do.
Alice: Oh relax! The books can wait. Tim's buying the next round. What do you want?
本单元语言点是静态动词，静态动词描述状态(即性质不容易、也不会很快变化的动词，比如 what you believe，think，or own)，而非动作(jump, talk or buy)。这些动词通常不被用于进行式(ing)。
Stative (or state) verbs describe states (things that don't change easily or quickly, for example, what you believe, think or own) rather than actions (jump, talk or buy). These verbs are not normally used in the continuous form (ing).
Stative verbs can be grouped into these categories (静态动词可以分为以下类别):
Verbs of emotion (情感动词):
care feel hate
like loathe love
need prefer want
Verbs of ownership (领属动词):
own have possess
Verbs of the mind (认知动词):
believe mean suppose
forget realise understand
know remember doubt
Verbs of the senses - often used with 'can'
(感知动词，常与’can’一起用):
hear see smell
taste touch
Other verbs (其它动词):
contain depend matter
Some of these stative verbs can be used in the continuous form but their meaning will change. 一些静态动词可以用于进行式，但它们的意思将改变。比如:
To think:
Do you think so? (Stative - Is that your opinion? Is that the state of your belief?) 静态--这是你的看法吗?你是这样认为的吗?
He's thinking about his friends in Poland (Dynamic - The action of thinking. His friends are in his thoughts, in his mind right now but he might be thinking of something else soon). 动态—思考的行动。他在想他的那些波兰朋友。他现在正在想他的朋友们，但他不久就会思考其它的事情。
To have:
He has got brown eyes (Stative - He possesses brown eyes. The colour is unlikely to change). 静态--他有棕色的眼睛。这种颜色是不太可能改变的。
He's having a pint of beer (Dynamic - The action of drinking. He might be drinking something else soon). 动态--喝的动作。他在喝一品脱啤酒。他可能不久就会喝点别的什么东西。
To see:
I don't see what you mean. (Stative - I don't understand what you mean). 静态--我不明白你的意思。
She is seeing him next week. (Dynamic - She is meeting him). 动态--她将在下周与他见面。她将与他见面。
Vocabulary (词汇):
