Lesson 10 Not for Jazz. First listen and then answer the question: what happened to the clavichord?
[ˈlɛsən] [tɛn] [nɑt] [fər] [ʤæz]. [fɜrst] [ˈlɪsən] [ənd] [ðɛn] [ˈænsər] [ðə] [ˈkwɛsʧən]: [wʌt] [ˈhæpənd] [tə] [ðə] [ˈklævəˌkɔrd]?
We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord. It was made in Germany in 1681. Our is kept in the living-room. It has belonged to our family for a long time. The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.

任务配置:L0 + L4
知识笔记:
单词:
- jazz, Jazz 是种什么音乐呢?一般解释都比较枯燥无味,可以直接去听几首,看下电影《海上钢琴师》英文名《The Legend of 1900》
- 百度百科:Jazz. 爵士乐(Jazz),于19世纪末20世纪初源于美国,诞生于南部港口城市新奥尔良,音乐根基来自布鲁斯(Blues)和拉格泰姆(Ragtime)。爵士乐讲究即兴,以具有摇摆特点的Shuffle节奏为基础,是非洲黑人文化和欧洲白人文化的结合。20世纪前十几年爵士乐主要集中在新奥尔良发展,1917年后转向芝加哥,30年代又转移至纽约,直至今天,爵士乐风靡全球。爵士乐的主要风格有:新奥尔良爵士、摇摆乐、比博普、冷爵士、自由爵士、拉丁爵士、融合爵士等。
- clavichord,击弦键琴,见下图,跟现代钢琴piano有很大不同。
- grandfather, [ˈgrændˌfɑðər] / [ˈgrænˌfɑðər]
- year, [jɪrz] / [jərz]
- the living-room, the这个单词好像发音很轻,基本上就是嘴唇碰了一下感觉。
- 另外,关于rooms的分类见下表(来自Wikipedia),不用记太多,常用的记下:living-room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, baby's room, bathroom.
- struck,strike过去式,“敲击”。记得在lesson 9 也出现过,那里表示钟表敲击,strike twelve 敲击12下。这里表示敲击按键。
- string,弦
词组:
- belong to,属于
- 通常把belong同to连在一起(“属于”),但是belong也有不同to一起而是同别的状语或表语成分一起的时候,意思是“处在这个状况时很合适”。
【例如】Are you sure these documents belong together? 你肯定这几份文件是应该放在一起的吗?/ She doesn't belong married to Joseph. 她嫁给约瑟夫是嫁错了人。
- 有时候belong单用,也可以表示“处于这个状况时很合适”。
【例如】When he opened it he was taken aback - what was printed inside didn't seem to belong. (Graham Greene, The power and the Glory, p. 18) 他把书打开,愣了一下,里面印的似乎不对头。
- be shocked
- It is being done
音标发音:
- have an, 注意这两个词连读了
- 继续昨天lesson 9的 /aʊ/ 的发音:allowed,now,our
练习感悟:
Answer: The clavichord was played a jazz so hard by a visitor that two of strings were broken.
Thoughts: /aʊ/的发音继续加强,town,shout,allow,now,our
