练习材料:Lesson50 Taken for a ride
I love traveling in the country, but I don't like losing my way. I went on an excursion recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected. ' I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus,' but I don't know where it is.' ' I'll tell you where to get off,' answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
' You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.'
' Is this Woodford Green ?' I asked. 'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly.' I forgot to put you off.' 'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.' 'We are going back now,' said the conductor. 'Well, in that case, I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.

知识笔记: [i:]
1. get off有两种理解,即“动词 + 副词”和“动词 + 介词”.原因是off这个单词既可作副词,又可作介词.而且get这个动词也麻烦,它既可以作及物动词,又可以做不及物动词.所以,这个结构有四种理解.
1) get为不及物动词,而off为副词.
此时get off视为一个不及物动词短语,不能加宾语,但可以单独使用或在其后加上介宾短语,即:get off ( + 介宾/副词)如: We got off immediately after breakfast.早饭后我们立即启程.
2)get为及物动词,而off是副词.
此时get off为一个及物动词短语,可以加上宾语.如果宾语为名词/名词短语,则宾语可以放在get和off的中间,也可以放在其后;如果宾语为代词,则它只能放在get和off中间.此时,整个结构为:get ... off ( + 介宾/副词)如:I'd like to get this letter off by the first post.我想将这封信在邮局第一次收信时寄出去.
The children had to get themselves off to school as both their parents went out to work at eight o'clock.
由于父母都在八点钟去上班了, 孩子们只好自己去上学.
3)get是不及物动词,而off为介词.
此时get off后面必须加上宾语,以和off形成介宾短语.而且宾语无论是名词还是代词,都必须放在介词off的后面.结构为:get off + 宾语如:This is where I get off the bus.这就是我下车的地方.
4)get是及物动词,而off是介词.
此时get off是一个及物动词短语,get后面和off后面都必须加上宾语,意思基本上可以翻译为“使得...离开...”.结构为:get + 宾语1 + off + 宾语2如:Can you help (to) get this old man off the bus?你能帮忙让这个老人家下车吗?

练习感悟:开始从零学习音标才发现自己在拼读的过程中存在很大障碍,好像和汉语拼音有很大差距,先从元音开始,慢慢来吧。重新开始读,坚持下去吧。
