教案:

Thanks for coming to class today! Let’s start with some slang
欢迎来到今天的课,让我们从俚语开始吧

We have two that both use the word “cut”
我们有两个包含“切”的俚语

But there are no scissors involved in either of these meanings
但是这里面的任何一个都没有包含剪刀

One is called “cut it out”, and the other one is “not cut out for this”
一个叫做“cut it out”,另外一个叫“not cut out for this”

Let’s talk about cutting something out
让我们讨论cut it out

When you say, “Please, Alex, cut it out”
当你说,“Alex,请你cut it out”

You are asking Alex to stop doing something
你是在让他停止做一件事情

Basically when you say “cut it out”
当你说”cut it out”的时候

you don’t like what someone is doing
你不喜欢某人在做的事情

They might not be prepared or capable of completing the job they are doing
他们或许没有准备好或者没有能力去做这件事

What I like to think of is “cut it out” means to cut your behavior off
当我想“cut it out”的时候,意思是把你的举止切断

so that you can’t keep going, it’s stopped
这样你就得停下来了

Meanwhile, “not cut out for this” means you are not prepared for something
它的意思是你没有准备好去做一件事情

or you are not really the kind of person who should be doing the job
“Not cut out for this”或者你不属于应该去做这件事的人群

For example, if you’ve never sung or danced a day in your life
如果你从来没有唱过歌跳过舞

and Lady Gaga asked you to perform with her
嘎嘎小姐邀请你和她一起表演

then you could say, “Sorry, but I’m not cut out for this”
你可以说“不好意思,我不是这块料”

What I’d like to think of is a piece of paper and if you cut out a certain shape
我会去把它想成一张纸,然后你在上面剪一个形状

that shape is good for doing something
这个形状适合做一件事情

When you are trying to complete a certain task
当你需要完成一件事的时候

you might need paper that of a certain shape. Other shapes of paper won’t work
你需要一张有合适形状的纸,其他形状的都不可以

So that’s what I think of when I think of the slang “cut out for this”
所以这就是当我遇到俚语”cut out for this”时想到的

You need the right shape or the right person for a task
你需要合适的形状或者人去完成一件事

The ways to use those slangs are different
这两个俚语的使用方式不一样

The first one, “cut it out”, is a command
“Cut it out”是一个命令

You are asking someone to cut it out, or saying you wish someone would do this
当你告诉一个人“cut it out”.或者说你希望别的人来做这件事

You wish they would stop doing what they are doing
你希望一个人可以停止去做现在在做的事情

The second one, “not cut out for this” is a description
“Not cut out for this”是一个描述方式

You are saying a person is not cut out for this
可以用来描述一个人

or even a thing is not cut out for the task you are trying to accomplish
或者一个物体不合适来完成某件事情

So you can say, “I am not cut out for this job”
你可以说,“我不是这块料”

or “Thomas is not cut out to be a waiter because he hates taking orders from people”
或者“托马斯不是做服务生的料,因为他讨厌受人指使”

Our sentence structure for today has a funny example. See if you can catch the structure
我们今天的句型比较有意思,来看看吧

“The greater the number of people who want to go to the show
“如果有更多的人去看节目

the more tickets we are going to have to print”
我们需要印更多的票”

The greater the number of A, the more B will occur
如果有更多的A,更多的B就会发生

Here’s another example
另外一个例子是

“The greater the effort, the better the sense of accomplishment at the end of a task”
“如果付出更多,那么完成一件事情的时候会有更多的成就感”

So you are saying that the more you have of A, the more you will have of B
也就是当你有更多的A,你也会有更多的B

One more example
还有一个例子

“The greater the size of a car, the more gas is necessary to get around”
“一辆车的体积越大,驾驶时需要的油也越多”

Why don’t you try making a sentence of your own with this structure?
你也来试试吧?

Thank you for coming to class today

I hope you learned something and I hope you had fun
我希望你学到了一些知识

If you have any questions, or if you have any suggestions
如果你有任何问题和建议

or if you just want to try out the sentence structure, follow me on Weibo
或者想尝试一下句型,那就来微博关注我吧

If you try the sentence structure, we will correct your sentence for you
如果你尝试了句型,我们会帮你校正你的句子
