Step IV Listening and Explanations of some language points
T: Listen to the tape paying attention to pauses in the long sentences.
After listening,
T: Now let’s deal with some language points. Turn to Page 34. Let’s look at the sentences. The first: The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all. In this sentence, see means be the time when (an event) happens; witness. For example: This year sees the tercentenary of Handel’s birth. (今年是韩德尔诞辰三百周年) where we have ....is an attributive clause, which is used to modify a stage. For example: This is the old house where my grandfather lived ten years ago.
Then the second: We were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed… only then did we decide to answer violence with violence. From these sentences we know that they had tried to gain their equal rights in peaceful way, but it was in vain. So they turned to violence. In this sentence, in which we had either to accept…is an attributive clause, which is used to modify a position. And which was peaceful…is also an attributive clause, which is used to modify a way. Another example: I don’t like the way in which he talks.
