8 It Pays to Advertise
花錢廣告很值得
☆教學目標
1. 藉由研讀英文廣告標語,使學生了解其對商品的重要性與廣告標語本身設計的巧妙性。
2. 學習並活用本課單字、片語,並介紹不定代名詞Some.... Others.... Still others....及使役動詞have/make + O + OC (Vpp)的用法。
3. 教導學生如何用英文來說服或勸說(persuading)他人進行某事。
4. 鼓勵學生發揮想像力與創意,自創響亮的廣告標語。
☆本課導讀
一則好的廣告可以深植人心,也可以讓產品價值提升、增加產品銷售量。在語言、圖像與音樂三大廣告成分之中,本課以廣告語言中的標語(slogan)來探討如何在最小的篇幅中,發揮文字的最大力量,以抓住消費者的心,達到說服的目的。
本課前兩段藉著Nike 利用其廣告標語 "Just Do It" 打敗強勁對手Reebok ,並鞏固其在運動用品不敗地位的例子,說明廣告標語對產品的重要性。文中並列舉了其他有創意或具有說服力的廣告標語,像是炸雞廣告 "Finger lickin' good"、美容塑身廣告 "Trust me, you can make it!"、漢堡廣告 "Have it your way",一再顯示廣告中文字標語的重要性。最後作者藉由提問學生一個有關電話簿的廣告標語 "Let your fingers do the walking." 背後的涵義,來激盪學生的想像力與創意。
在進行本課時,教師可以引導學生比較出現在路邊的看板、公車車體廣告,或是電視、廣播上所聽到、看到的廣告標語,引發學生思考廣告在小小的篇幅或短短的時間內所發揮的文字力量與創意。
Warm-up
1. 本課的課前活動第一部分,教師可以先利用這六件學生日常生活中常接觸到的商品圖片,與相對的廣告標語做配對活動。
2. 第二部分則可由教師提問學生,在生活周遭是否有其他印象深刻的廣告標語。為了讓學生有更多思考的空間,標語可以不限英文。
3. 若是時間許可,教師可以事先分組,請同學在課前各找兩組中、英文標語。讓學生做完第一部分的活動後,再分組上臺分享他們所蒐集到的資料,並分析這些標語本身設計的巧妙性。

Reading
在1980年代 ,Nike運動用品公司面臨了一個問題。他們正和對手Reebok競爭,所以他們需要一個嶄新的廣告來吸引更多顧客。某天在會議中,他們廣告公司的一位員工正告訴Nike的經理們,他有多崇拜他們的公司。「你們這些Nike人,只管做就對了。」他說道。突然間,所有的經理和廣告公司職員停止談話並相互對望著。他們找到了那完美的廣告標語!
1. They were struggling against their
competitor, ...a new advertisement to attract more customers.
(1) struggle against/with 與…競爭
‧Tony and Jim were struggling against each other to be the winner in the race.
(2) to attract more customers為不定詞片語,用來表「目的」。
2. ...was telling the Nike managers how much
he admired their company.
在此句中,the Nike managers作為tell 的間接受詞,而how引導的名詞子句作為tell的直接受詞。
3. Suddenly, all the managers...looked at one another.
(1) suddenly = all of a sudden = all at once 突然地
(2) one another 用於指稱二者以上的人或事物的相互關係;each other 則用在二者之間的相互關係。例:
‧The class gave one another gifts on Christmas Eve.
‧After Jay moved to America, he and his girlfriend often talked to each other on the phone.
4. They had just found the perfect advertising slogan!
這裡用過去完成式表示當那位員工說出 "You Nike guys, you just do it."這句話的當下,大家也同時發現到這句完美的標語,之後大家突然停止說話並互相對看。過去完成式通常會和just, already, lately等副詞連用。例:
‧By eight o'clock, the student had already studied history for three hours.
他們的新標語──「做就對了」,幫助Nike成為一家大型國際公司,而且從那時起,他們就一直使用它。它是一個充滿決心與熱情,可以激勵人心的標語。它意味著任何人,不僅僅是專業運動員,皆可從事各式運動,並保持強健、活躍與健康。在使用這個標語達十二個月後,Nike 已經為他們的知名運動鞋增加了市場占有率。
1. ...make Nike a big international company, and they have used it ever since.
(1) make Nike a big international company
句型分析
make + O + OC (Adj/N) 使…成為…
不完全及物動詞make接了受詞之後,須再接名詞或形容詞,作其受詞補語,句意才會完整。詳細用法請參見第二冊第四課句型解析一。例:
‧Technology makes our lives more convenient.
‧John's idea made the plan a successful one.
(2) ever since表「自從…以後就一直」。主要子句多使用完成式。例:
‧Henry has been sad ever since he broke up with his girlfriend.
2. It is an inspiring slogan full of....
→ It is an inspiring slogan which/that is full of....
此為由關係子句省略而來的形容詞片語,修飾先行詞an inspiring slogan。
好的廣告標語可以留存在人們的記憶達數十年。有一些廣告標語是有創意的,有一些是具有說服力的,還有一些是滑稽有趣的。有一個創意標語的例子,或許困擾著世界各地的英文老師,但這標語「●指回味」卻是個非常成功的案例。當然,它不是真的表示人們應該把他們的手指,放進他們的嘴巴裡。相反地,它使人們想起吃炸雞的美味。當然,"lickin'" 是 "licking" 這個字的縮寫。當有些字說得很快時,最後一個 "g" 的發音常常不是很清楚,就好比 "lovin'"這個字。
1. remain in one's memory表「停留在某人的記憶」。例:
‧The song has remained in my memory after hearing it for the first time.
2. Some are creative. Others are persuasive. Still others are funny.
此不定代名詞的用法,為描述多數對象時,僅挑其中三組來說明之句型,詳細用法請參見本課句型解析一。
3. "Finger lickin' good" 為代表肯德基的廣告標語。肯德基的創始者哈蘭‧桑德斯運用了十一種配料,研發出現今風靡全球的肯德基炸雞。桑德斯於美國南部的肯德基州設立了他的第一家炸雞店。
4. ...it reminds people of the good taste....
remind sb of sth 表示「使某人想起某事」。例:
‧This movie reminds him of his hometown.
remind 另可當「提醒」解。例:
‧My mother reminded me to bring an umbrella in case it would rain.
而具有說服力的廣告標語例子是由一家美容院所創造的。他們的廣告標榜「相信我,你可以成功!」這非常巧妙,因為許多女性都會懷疑美容治療是否真能改善她們的容貌。因為這則標語,她們不但信任這家美容院,而且也更有信心她們會變美麗。
1. ...is by a beauty salon.
此句by前面省略了made一字,表示「由…所創作」。例:
‧The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a very famous and interesting novel.
2. Their ad says, "Trust me, you can make it!"
(1) 當說明廣告或招牌的內容時,通常用say或read來作其動詞。同樣地,諺語、故事或報導也可用這二個動詞。例:
‧The sign on the wall says, "No Smoking."
(2) "Trust me, you can make it!"是由美容機構媚登峰在1996年所帶動的廣告標語。此標語為當時的臺灣帶來一股美容瘦身的風潮,也為當時臺灣的美容機構帶來蓬勃的發展。此標語並分別獲得廣告流行金句獎第三、四屆的金獎,以及第五屆的永恆金句獎。
3. ...many women doubt [whether beauty treatments can...].
此句中,由 whether 引導的子句作為doubt 的受詞,且whether在此可用if取代。例:
‧Many people doubt if the plan will be a success.
4. ...they not only trust the beauty salon, but they also have more confidence [that they will be beautiful].
(1) not only...but also... 不但…而且…
此為對等連接詞,用來連接詞性相同的兩個詞組。例:
‧Mr. Chou is not only a teacher but also a writer.
(2) confidence後的that子句為其同位語,用來說明confidence的內容。
…其他說服性的標語包括「隨你的意」,來自於一家速食餐廳的廣告。這個廣告將他們新鮮、為顧客量身訂做的漢堡,和其競爭對手預先做好的漢堡做比較。「隨你的意」是指你可以要求變化,像是多一些番茄切片或是少一些洋蔥切片,因為漢堡是專門為你製作的。另一則歷久彌堅的標語,則來自一家連鎖花商。標語為 「以花語傳遞」。人們送花有很多的理由,但不論訊息為何,這廣告表示花是一種理想的溝通方式。
5. "Have it your way"是漢堡王於1974年所開創的廣告標語。漢堡王當時甫推出新的餐點──華堡(Whopper),由於其配料豐富,因此提供顧客依個人喜好,要求漢堡配料變化的服務。此舉有別於大部分速食店追求標準、快速,卻難滿足顧客個人喜好不同的需求,也是當時同業中唯一提供此項服務的速食業者。
6. This ad compares their hamburgers [, which are...customer], with their competitors' [, which are...].
(1) compare A with B 比較A與B
‧I compared Mike's watch with mine, and I found they were similar.
(2) ...their hamburgers, which...
句型分析
N, who/whom/which...,
本句which 引導非限定的關係子句修飾其先行詞their hamburgers 和their competitor's。詳細用法請參見第二冊第七課句型解析二。例:
‧Mr. Wang, who is talking with Amy, is a doctor.
(3) their competitors'為their competitors' hamburgers所省略而來的獨立所有格。
7. stand在此表示「經得起(困難、考驗等)」。例:
‧Shakespeare's plays have stood the test of time and are loved by many people today.
8. "Say it with flowers"為國際花商公司Interflora的廣告標語。有鑑於新鮮花材不耐長時間運程的缺點,該公司藉由遍部全球的分公司機制,並以標語鼓勵顧客,即使相隔千里同樣能以花作為傳遞感情的媒介。
9. People have flowers sent for many reasons, ...are an ideal way to communicate.
(1) have flowers sent為have + O + OC (Vpp)的句型,此詳細用法請參見本課句型解析二。
(2) to communicate 為不定詞片語當形容詞用,修飾前面的an ideal way。
廣告標語幫助銷售產品,所以公司製作好的標語是值得的。最後,一個有趣的電話簿廣告標語寫著,「讓你的手指代步」。表面上,這沒有意義,因為你的手指並不會走路!但實際上,這是個含有產品重要訊息的成功廣告。你可以猜到它試圖要表達什麼訊息嗎?
1. pay vi. 值得,有利
‧It won't pay to sell this valuable ring passed from your dead mother.
2. "Let your fingers do the walking."
(1) 這是1964年加拿大的Yellow Pages公司為其電話簿黃頁廣告所設計的廣告標語。此標語強調黃頁廣告帶給人們的便利性,讓人們可以節省出門的時間,以手代步查詢店家號碼和店家聯絡,而不用親自走一趟。
(2) Let your fingers do....
句型分析
let + O + V
使役動詞let後面的受詞如果是「主動發出動作者」,其後可省略to,接原形動詞。詳細用法請參見第二冊第一課句型解析一。例:
‧ Don't let the dog come indoors.
(3) do the walking 是由動詞 walk 轉為動名詞後,以do作此抽象名詞的動詞。例:
‧My mom asked me to help her do the cooking.
3. Can you guess [what it's trying to say]?
what疑問詞引導間接問句,作guess的受詞。詳細用法請參見本冊第五課句型解析一。
Cultural Note 資料增補
廣告的演進
現今廣告五花八門,花招百出,但回顧其歷史,廣告的誕生是歸因於「為產品作宣傳」這個基礎。因此自從有了商品的生產和交換,如何廣而告知此商品的存在,並吸引消費者的購買慾,便成為廣告的使命。
世上最早的廣告多是經由聲音進行的,又稱「叫賣廣告」。在西方歷史上,有名的古希臘奴隸買賣,便是經由叫賣的方式來吆喝與宣傳。而在中國歷史上,早在西周時期,詩經上便記載著:古代賣糖食的小販經由吹簫管的方式,來達到宣傳效果,吸引群眾。
除了叫賣式廣告,中國歷史上另一種廣告的宣傳方式,便是「懸掛式廣告」。所謂懸掛式廣告,是指將廣告內容書寫於一般紙張或布幔上,之後再懸掛於高處,以吸引路人目光。在清明上河圖中,懸掛式廣告已隨處可見,由此可知在宋朝,懸掛式廣告已被廣泛使用。
但紙面的廣告,便要追溯至印刷術發明之後。到了十五、十六世紀,印刷術在歐洲被廣泛使用,英國人威廉‧坎克斯製作了第一幅紙面廣告並張貼於倫敦各街頭,為教會的圖書作宣傳。到了十七世紀,廣告開始出現在一些報章雜誌中。
二次世界大戰後,電視機的發明,又將廣告的歷史帶入另一個新紀元。在電視節目之間,以影像的方式呈現產品的特性,藉此達到宣傳的效果。也由於電視廣告播放效果顯著的因素,廣告商願意投資大筆金錢換購重要時段的播放權,並因而支撐電視節目的製作經費。
到了現今的網路時代,廣告的形式又更加多元化。相較於電視廣告中,消費者沒有選擇性地接收廣告的訊息;網路廣告卻需經由消費者的點閱,才能連接到廣告的主網頁。這樣的轉變,將選擇權移交回消費者手上,而如何吸引消費者點閱網路廣告,似乎也成為現今廠商亟需思考的一個問題。
補充資料
廣告流行金句獎
隨著消費意識的高漲,廣告不僅對廠商來說是個重要的行銷管道,對消費者而言,也左右了購買的偏好及動機。面對現今林林總總的廣告,在1994 年,臺灣舉辦了第一屆的廣告流行金句獎。此獎項主要是針對廣告中的標語所設計的一個獎項。藉由此獎項的頒發,我們似乎也不難發現,好的標語為一個廣告所帶來的正面影響。
這個獎項的頒發,是由廣告主、媒體、廣告業聯合推薦作品,再經由消費者直接投票,選出得獎名單。將決定權回歸消費者這樣的作法,一方面是希望能明確傳達消費者對廣告的觀點,另一方面也希望能藉此鼓勵廣告主發揮創意,多多創造可以吸引消費者目光的廣告標語。
至2001年開始,同一主辦單位更舉辦了「學生廣告流行語金句獎」選拔活動。藉由這個活動,鼓勵新世代的年輕族群勇於發想,發揮創意,更期許培養下個廣告流行標語的創造者!有關「廣告流行金句獎」其他相關資料,可參考下列網站:

III. Topics for Discussion
參考解答
1.
I think the slogan means that people can get the phone numbers or addresses they want by flipping through the telephone directory. With their fingers, they can find the phone numbers that they want and call instead of going to the stores in person.
2.
I think simple and inspiring slogans make advertisements successful. "Just Do It" and "Impossible Is Nothing" are easy to remember and can inspire people to believe that they can do better if they go for it. In addition, creativity should be part of a good advertisement. Take "Let your fingers do the walking" for example. Instead of walking out, you can just flip through the telephone directory with your fingers and get what you want. Moreover, if the words in the advertisements are played wisely, they can remain in people's memories for a long time. For example, "We make other vegetables green with envy," is a good advertisement for potatoes. The Potato Board in America uses the phrase "green with envy" to express that other vegetables are very jealous of potatoes because of the flavor, nutrition and low calories of potatoes. Therefore, a good advertisement plays an important role in selling a product.

‧It's better to make preparations for the game in advance.
4. on the surface 表面上

5. make sense 有意義,合理

Grammar in Use
1. Some.... Others.... Still others....
此句型為不定代名詞的用法,當全體歸納成的類別不止三組,但舉例時,只提其中三組且還有其他組未提及時,就可使用此句型。例:
‧People in Taiwan have different religious beliefs. Some (people) believe in Buddhism. Others believe in Daoism. Still others are Christians.
如果還有時間,教師可補充下列用法:
(1) 教師可先利用下列表格讓學生熟悉「不定代名詞」的意義:
單數
複數
不定
one (一個)
another (其他不特定一個)
some (一些)
others (其他不特定幾個)
特(限)定
the other (剩下特定一個)
the others (剩下特定全部)
以直列的單數看來,當全體只有三個時,第一個被數到的為one,另一個未特定指哪一個,所以用another (另一個),而剩下的最後一個,就是特定剩下的那一個,所以用the other。就如同第一冊第四課曾提及 "One.... Another.... The other...."的句型,中譯為「一…另一…還有一…」。當要介紹三個人或三件事物逐一舉例時,便可使用。例:
‧I have three pairs of sneakers. One (pair) is Nike. Another (pair) is Reebok. The other (pair) is New Balance.
(2) 另外,教師可以跟學生補充,當所指的眾多對象只歸類成三大組來說明時,就須使用下列的句型"Some.... Others.... The others...."。例:
‧The teacher divided the class into three groups. Some students were to clean the classroom. Others were to clean the toilets. The others were asked to clean the gym.
*句型練習補充:
A. 利用句型"Some.... Others.... Still others...."回答下列問題。
1. What colors are the flowers in the basket? (red; blue; yellow)
→ ____________________________________
2. What are the students in the classroom doing? (sleeping; chatting; reading)
→____________________________________
3. Where do the products in the shop come from? (from Japan; from America; from Europe)
→____________________________________
4. What are those things on the table? (pens; books; pieces of paper)
→____________________________________
5. Who sent you all these postcards? (from Joyce; from Eric; from Lily)
→____________________________________
B.
利用"Some.... Others.... Still others...."的句型和提示字完成下列段落。
Last night, my family went to Yung-kang Street (永康街). Interestingly, we saw many foreigners from different countries. 1____________________________________ (from Japan; from the U.S.; from Philippines) My father said it was because the stores on this street offered them many entertainments. 2____________________________________ (sell clothes; sell delicious food; sell beautiful gifts) Among all of these stores, we saw one shop selling shaved ice (刨冰).

2. have/make + O + OC (Vpp)
此句型介紹使役動詞have與make的用法,之前在第二冊第一課句型一已經介紹過當使役動詞後接的受詞為「主動發出動作者」時,其後可省略to,接原形動詞。例:
‧If you happen to meet Simon, have him call me.
‧Do to others as you would have them do to you.
‧The sad news made everyone burst into tears.
‧My parents won't let me travel alone to New York City.
因此,若使役動詞have和make後的受詞為「被動接受動作者」時,其後須接過去分詞作其受詞補語。例:
‧I will have my hair cut tomorrow.
‧Father will have our house painted this weekend.
‧My mother had the dishes washed last night.
‧I made my clothes washed this morning.

廣告設計隨消費世代訴求而改變
當今的廣告設計,要想在激烈的市場競爭中求得生存與發展,不僅要了解人口世代劃分,同時還要認知消費者的心理與消費行為特點。
現代營銷理論提出了新的人口世代劃分觀點,出生於同一時代的人處於共同的社會、政治、歷史和經濟環境中,因而會產生相同或相似的觀念和行為。不同人口世代的消費者,其收入、興趣、愛好、消費觀念以及消費行為等各不相同,所以他們對產品、品牌也就有著不同的需求和價值體驗,成功的廣告正是將這兩者技巧性的結合起來。
以消費學的觀點來說,個體消費行為與特點主要受到三個因素的影響:(1)消費者的價值觀與信念,因為消費者的價值觀與信念反映了他們的生活觀念。(2)消費者的行為和興趣,特別是品牌(brand)能成為左右這些行為或興趣的一部分,並為消費者帶來額外的情感性利益,因為它反映了消費者的生活方式。(3)消費者期望的擁有物,它反映了消費者需求滿足感的實現。所以,針對消費者特點展開的廣告就是要找到消費者的動心之處,也就是消費者的生活觀念、興趣與價值的體現。
美國營銷界把人口劃分成三個主要世代,即二次大戰後至六○年代生育高峰的一代(Baby Boomer)、越戰到1979年的X一代(X-Generation)和新新人類或N一代(Neo-Generation)。這裡新新人類是指1980年之後出生的人,而我們的學生多屬這範疇。以下是針對Neo-Generation消費心理與因應出的廣告文化特性做一簡短分析。
A. 著重「自我」與「自立」,東西文化觀念差異越來越小
由於商品文化蓬勃發展、網路互聯、電子商務頻繁與高科技的普遍,與以前社會比較,當代的新新人類從小就習慣於影視語言和網路語言,對時尚廣告反應迅速。他們不像上一輩的人有太多傳統文化的記憶和歷史包袱。再加上少子化的影響,這一代人受到了長輩無微不至的呵護,物質生活相對比較優越。從消費心理學的角度來說,過多的呵護反倒會形成一種逆反心理,他們想要保有更多自己的空間,「自立」的意識較高。因此,成長於當今的文化環境下,新新人類在物質追求上更加注重感性化、愛電腦與上網甚於愛書,較早買車子、房子的消費觀念也早已深入其心中。也因這些生活觀念的引領,他們在消費行為上表現較大膽,在他們眼裡很少有不能做的事。
再者,冷戰之後,全球消費思潮與消費文化基本趨向大同境界。所以多數的新新人類,與世界各國同齡的人追求著共通的流行。因此,在美國紐約、法國巴黎、日本東京、韓國首爾,還是臺灣的臺北或高雄,可以看到幾乎同樣裝束的年輕世代,喜歡追求自我或標新立異地扮酷。在這一代人身上,東西方的文化差異似乎變得越來越小。
B. 當代廣告強調「創意」與「附加價值」
由於新新人類喜歡多變、刺激、新穎的生活方式,他們對商品的忠誠度一般不高。廣告設計特別是「創意」便需要新穎獨到,宣傳時就要做到有時代感和渲染力強。因為青少年對新品牌很快會厭倦而轉向其他品牌,所以要不斷地變換產品包裝和廣告形式,以保持品牌的活力和新鮮度。因此廣告產品與流行音樂、影視明星、體育明星等的結合就是一種廣告宣傳的有效方式。
選擇產品或品牌的準則,新新人類不再基於「好」或「不好」這一傳統的理性認知觀,而是更基於「喜歡」或「不喜歡」的感性情感態度觀,因為其所追求的是產品或服務能提供的一種「感覺或附加價值」。因此,在廣告中,傳播與溝通的重點是宣揚產品的品牌價值,具體的包括顯示身分或階層的象徵、美的感受、時尚與先鋒、好玩及趣味性、潮流或流行性等。
再者,要能凸顯「個性」的追求特點,使多數人對商品的情感性、誇耀性及符號性價值的要求,早已超過了商品或服務的物質性價值及使用價值。新新人類消費需求的日趨個性化與多樣化,促使現代廣告設計方向更加重視「情感滿足」與「附加價值」,勝過「機能價值」。
English Workshop
I. Useful Expressions of Persuasion (勸說)
1. 本單元提供學生表達勸說(persuasion)的常見英文用語。活動進行中,老師可提醒學生英語「勸說」(persuasion)的語氣比「建議」(advice, suggestion)來得更為強硬。但仍需保持禮貌的態度。
2. 課本範例為高二生要說服高一生加入熱舞社,因為貼切學生的校園生活,教師可先以本範例作為示範,並讓學生兩人一組練習角色扮演。
3. 若時間允許,可和同學分析對話模式,並以下面提供的二種常見情境,讓學生分組自創對話腳本,並進行口語練習。
參考對話情境:
Situation One
The class will take a trip to Danshui (淡水). Everyone in class will join the trip except for Linda. Now, the class leader James is persuading Linda to join them.
Situation Two
The school will hold an English conversation contest a month later. Vivian, who likes English very much, would like to persuade Jamie to join it with her. However, Jamie seems not so interested in this contest.
4. 如果時間許可,教師可補充下列接受或拒絕他人勸說的用語,提供給學生參考:
(1) 接受他人的勸說
‧Thanks for your suggestion. I love to.
‧Sounds great/nice/terrific.
‧What a great/terrific idea! I'd really love to.
‧Sure. That would be fun/interesting.
‧That's perfect! I'll be looking forward to it.
(2) 拒絕他人的勸說
‧Thank you/Thanks for asking, but I'm afraid I still can't go there with you/join it/buy it.
‧I'm sorry. I can't.
‧I wish I could, but I....
‧I hate to turn you down, but I must....
‧I appreciate the invitation, but I'm afraid I can't.
II. Creating a Slogan
1. 教師可以建議學生觀察自己所推薦的社團具備的特性來創造標語,並提供下列創作標語的原則予學生參考。
◎運用簡單或熟悉的字詞。
◎順口押韻。
◎簡潔有力,盡量限制在3到8個字詞之內。
◎運用主動句而不用被動句。
◎運用肯定句而不用否定句。
◎有力、鮮明、生動、幽默、富創意。
2. 除了課本的熱舞社和辯論社外,教師可以提供學生下面學校常見社團的英語名稱,讓學生個人或分組,事先在課前替自己參加過的社團創作一個響亮的廣告標語。也可要求學生融入自己創造的標語,為社團做一個簡短的英文介紹。

(1) The Ad of the Day (本日最佳廣告)
將全班同學分成6~8組不等,並由老師指定一商品,像是球鞋、飲料、修正液等,要求每一組同學都為這一指定商品想出廣告標語,然後每一組派代表上臺發表,並由教師選出最有創意者為優勝。
(2) Guessing Game (猜一猜)
由每一組同學自行選擇一商品並為其設計廣告標語,記得提醒同學不要向別組透露商品內容,然後各組派代表上臺發表其標語,並讓其他組的同學猜一下所廣告的東西是什麼,猜中最多商品的那組即為優勝者。
教師可提醒學生,不要在標語中點出商品名稱或品牌,只需描述其特質或優點即可,以增加遊戲的困難度及趣味性。
Conversation
一位推銷員正試著說服潔美購買一臺電子字典。(J =潔美,S =銷售員)
J: 我家裡已經有一本日文字典了,謝謝你。
S: 但不是電子字典,對吧?
J: 不是,但為什麼我需要一臺電子字典呢?
S: 嗯,首先,他們容易攜帶。這臺就可以放進妳的口袋。
J: 那很實用,但如果那麼小,它有充足的字彙量嗎?記住,我可是在大學唸日文,所以要學很多的字彙。
S: 它的字彙量夠多了。它儲存的字彙比任何一個「紙本」字典還多。
J: 好吧,但我通常都在家讀書,那麼擁有這一臺又有什麼意義?
S: 妳會唸妳從字典內查詢到的每一個單字嗎?
J: 不太會。我經常需要查閱無聊的發音指南。
S: 有了這一臺電子字典,妳可以查詢單字,然後一按按鈕,它就會唸這個單字,或是整個句子。妳聽…
J: 哇!這聽起來就像是真人發音。讓我試一下…
1. ...is trying to persuade Jamie to buy....
字詞搭配
persuade sb to V 說服某人做…
‧You can't persuade me to buy this car because I have no money.
2. ...it's easy to carry.
sth be easy to V表示「某事很容易…」。但若表示「對某人來說,做某事很容易」,必須要用It is easy for sb to V....的句型。例:
‧It is easy for you to finish this work in a week.
3. ...if it's so small, does it have enough words?
這句話用到直說法條件句,用來表示一般事實的陳述。
4. ...I have a lot of vocabulary to learn.
這裡的不定詞to learn為形容詞的作用,修飾前面的受詞vocabulary。
5. more than enough相當於more than is needed ,表示「夠多了」。例:
‧I can't eat anymore. I have eaten more than enough.
6. ...what's the point of getting....
What's the point of V-ing...?表示「做某事的目的為何」。例:
‧Since you have made the decision, what's the point of asking my suggestion?
7. look up表示「查閱(字典)」。
‧After looking up the word in the dictionary, I know its meaning.
8. sound like + N 表示「聽起來像…」,後面須接名詞,若表示「聽起來…」,可用另一用法"sound + Adj"。例:
‧It sounds like a good idea.
→ The idea sounds good.
S: 妳現在覺得如何呀?
J: 這用起來既好玩又有趣。這臺多少錢?
9. What do you think of it now?
字詞搭配
think of/about... 認為…
‧We think of Paul as a good leader.
‧I am thinking about moving to the countryside.
