Friends 篇1

The activity here has been based around the concept of pragmatic competence being fundamental to learning.In order to implement the activity,we decided to go with explicit instructions as experiments by Billyer. s(1990),and Bouton. s(1994)resulted in students doing better when receiving explicit instructions compared to students who was not.Because of this,we decided to described,then explain and talk about the implicature with students. We also provided required input as well as practices,however it was not in this particular order.We went through with the activity as followed:1-22 minutes: The first part of the activity had the students watching the full episode of Friends.We then had them write down the sections they found interesting.23-30 minutes:The students were provided original scripts,and they were requested to explain which sections they found interesting,and why.31-50 minutes:We went over and discussed the students perceptions,while explaining any questions.Grice. s CP was also an alternative used in order to explain certain sections.

2.Verbal Humour Analysis regarding the Friends sitcom as viewed as CP Theory

E x p e r t : D u r i n g R o s s a n d E m i l y. s w e d d i n g r e h e a r s a l dinner,oebe makes a call to Emily. s step mother to say she wants to speak to Joey to tell him Rachel will come to destroy R o s s . w e d d i n g . M r s . Wa l t h a m : H e l l o , Wa l t h a m I n t e r i o r s . Phoebe:Oh,hi,Mrs.Waltham.I need to speak with either one of the best men,or Ross's sister Monica.Mrs.Waltham: Who is this?Phoebe:Oh,I'm Phoebe Buffay.I'm one of Ross's best friends.Mrs. Waltham: Well,if you're one of Ross's best friends,why aren't you here? Phoebe:Yeah,um,I can. t fly.I'm having my brother's babies. (laughter)Mrs.Waltham:Oh, I on the radio?(laughter)Phoebe: No.. umm,could I talk to one of them? It. s very very important.Mrs. Waltham:No,I'm bored with you now.I.m going to cut you off(She hangs up)(laughter) Phoebe:Ohh! Okay,I'm going to have to kick her ass too.(laughter)In fact,one could say that Phoebe breaches the Maxim both ways.On the one hand,one could claim that she. s providing too much information: the fact that she’s pregnant and not able to fly would suffice as an answer to the question.There is no need to mention who the actual father is.However,since Phoebe does mention the very peculiar fact that she. s having her brother.s children,she would of course have to provide more information to avoid the implication of incest(i.e.she would have to tell that she is a surrogate mother).Here,there is obviously not enough information and hence Mrs.Waltham. s obvious disbelief in the follow-up turn(Am I on the radio?),referring to typical phone games on the radio in which people are tricked or fooled,the implicature we get is “are you playing a trick on me?”.At this time,Phoebe is unaware that the superfluous vague information she provides just now will make Mrs Waltham doubt about the thruthfulness of what she speaks.And at the same time,she is still obsessed with putting forward her own request and does nothing to explain the awkward situation,which makes the“quality”of the whole conversation at risk.In the end,Mrs Waltham cut off this telephone conversation. What is humorous about this extract is the honesty and the‘matter of factness’ with which Phoebe provides the answer,an honest and ture answer,which must be supported by proper explanation and background information(her brother's wife can not bear baby and she is a surrogate mother for them ).Without proper explanation,it sounds actually very odd indeed and the other people will not believe what you says.

3.Conclusion

A few advantages of developing the pragmatic competence of L2 Learners through analysing the verbal humour that is found in the sitcom are:(a)unconstrained true items show traits of normal every day discourse in a way which anyone might hear don't,(b) it would draw learners' consideration rapidly and constantly,(c)this makes ready for clarification of more intricate subjects.

Making friends 篇2

Making friends

Every one needs friends. One relies on his friends for a lot of help during his lifetime; friends not only help through his difficulties and hardships(艰难) but also share his joys. Without friends one feels lonely and solitary(寂寞的).

Knowing how valuable friends are, we should be very careful in making friends. In order to make friends one should reach out first instead of just waiting. When one takes in initiative(主动的.行动), he will find many people who have common goals, tastes and interest with his. And his circle of friends grows. If one is always concerned about other people and helps them rid out a storm(平安度过困难), they will certainly become his good friends.

One should be polite, prudent(审慎的), sincere, honest, tolerant(宽恕的) and considerate in making friends. But one should also keep the principle in his mind that a good friends is helpful while a bad friends would be harmful. One should break off with false friends, get to know new ones and never forget old ones.

Friends 篇3

When American viewers said goodbye to the two popular TV series after eight seasons, fans shared their loss more than 10,000 km away in China, where millions tuned in online to watch the emotional finales. After the final episodes of Desperate Housewives were aired on May 14, Chinese netizens posted over 1 million messages paying tribute to the show on micro-blogging sites.

American shows like House M.D. and Desperate Housewives are not aired on Chinese television, but are instead watched by a growing number of young people on the Internet.

Fan favorites

“I still remember the Desperate Housewives scene that our teacher showed to us during an English class at college. Eight years are a long time, and along with the show, we gradually grew mature,” said Xia Xiaonuan, a devoted fan of Desperate Housewives, on her micro-blog.

“The show has accompanied me like a friend since I was a girl,” said Xu Duoduo, a 25-year-old mother living in Beijing who was also a loyal viewer of the TV series. As the show’s four housewives underwent various plot twists and turns, such as murder, illness, divorce and remarriage, Xu grew from a girl to a mother. Many like her have matured and changed to the backdrop of popular television dramas.

For the Chinese audience, American TV shows have played an increasingly important role in their entertainment lives.

“In addition to the clever plot twists, American TV series impress me with rich knowledge and expertise,” said Wang Fan, a 28-year-old audience from Chongqing Municipality.

After watching Lie to Me, a popular crime series where detectives solve criminal cases by scrutinizing suspects’ facial “micro- expressions,” Wang began observing people’s facial cues more closely.

“It is amazing that American screenwriters and directors could make an entertaining program so professional,” said Wang.

Chinese audiences first started watching American TV series in large numbers in the 1980s. In 1980, China Central Television(CCTV) broadcast The Man From Atlantis. The short-lived science fiction show, though flat by today’s standards, immediately swept China. After years of isolation from the outside world, the people were eager to learn more about the West. The broadcast became a landmark event in China’s long process of reform and opening up.

At that time, many households didn’t own televisions, and few domestic TV series were on the air. In 1979, the Central Government encouraged all local TV stations to produce TV series to spur demand. Any television station that could air 12 episodes a year was even given an award.

For the Chinese audience of the early 1980s, The Man From Atlantis was fresh and exciting. Many lines became common slang phrases among young viewers. Even the sunglasses worn by the hero, Mark Harris, became a stylish must-have accessory popularly referred to then as “Mark glasses.” His swimming style was widely adopted. The TV series also inadvertently introduced a new sport to China—playing Frisbee.

The people’s humor

Roger Christiansen, director of the international hit comedy show Friends, came to Beijing and Shanghai again in May of this year. And again, Chinese fans warmly welcomed him.

Friends attracted a devoted following in China during its 10-season run, and has not been forgotten since the series drew to a close in 2004.

Christiansen, who became the director of the situation comedy in 2000, said he was surprised by the show’s success in China because it was made for an American audience. He found that people of all countries and regions liked it for different reasons.

He admitted that he didn’t expect the humor to cross over and amuse the Chinese audience, as comedy is often culturally specific and difficult to translate. Although the show presented a different culture, certain elements of it were common to all human beings, said Christiansen.

Friends delivered a rare brand of comedy that had wide appeal. When the audience watched Friends, they laughed and cried along with the characters as if they were personal friends, said Christiansen to a group of Chinese journalists.

In his view, Chinese TV series were developing and making progress with shows in the United States. The screenwriting, lighting and sound effects improved as producers learned from one another.

The popularity of American sitcoms like Friends also contributed to the development of China’s own TV series.

The Chinese people first saw situation comedy in 1982, when the American TV series My Favorite Martian was broadcast by a number of local TV stations in China. Until the show was aired, most Chinese were unfamiliar with the format.

In the next 10 years another American sitcom, Growing Pains, entertained the Chinese audience with its amusing family-centered stories. The sitcom has since become a favorite form of television in the mainland.

The country saw its first domestic situation comedy in 1994, with the airing of Wo Ai Wo Jia (I Love My Family). The series became extremely popular and is loved by the audience even today. Similar to Growing Pains, the comedy focused on family life. By telling stories of three generations of a family and their neighbors, it presented a vivid picture of ordinary people’s lives. It presented Chinese humor with an American format.

Ready for primetime

The success of American TV series has led to comparisons with domestic shows.

“After watching House M.D., I couldn’t bear to watch domestic medical dramas any more. I find them simple and dull,” said Wang Qiang, a 28-year-old fan.

American shows attach great importance to interacting with the audience. No matter the stage of plot development, series are cancelled when ratings fall, said Wu Mengjie, a media professional.

In the eyes of Gao Qunshu, a Chinese director well known for making TV series about the lives of cops, the Americans have a prominent advantage—respect for commercial and artistic rules.

After a century of development, the Americans had established an effective mechanism for storytelling and movie production, said Gao.

Gao advised young directors not to rush into innovation, but to learn from the existing masterpieces of their American counterparts in the first place. Only in this way can they build a sound foundation for future creativity.

However, there is also encouraging news for domestic TV series, which have seen an increase in ratings despite widespread criticism. The number and size of the series are already enough to make China the world’s top producer of television shows.

According to official statistics, only half of these shows can be broadcast on television. Fortunately, the Internet has provided an alternative broadcasting platform for viewership.

The market-oriented operation which started in the 1990s has also served as a driving force for the development of Chinese TV series. The government investment and corporate sponsorship are no longer the only sources of funds for TV show production. More private capital has flown into the industry in the form of commercial investments or loans.

Friends 篇4

关键词：美剧,英语学习,英语学习方法,积极帮助

随着互联网的迅猛发展,美国原版的英文电影走进我们的生活中,这也成为我们学习英语的新路径。例如《绝望的主妇》、《生活大爆炸》、《越狱》、《老友记》等等,凭借特色的剧情,生动活泼的情景以及幽默地道的语言吸引了众多英语学习者的目光,他们通过更多的方式去了解剧情,搜集语言资料,翻译译文等等。这不仅激发了英语学习者的热情,更提升了英语口语以及听力能力,丰富了英语使用的语境和文化知识,并训练了学习者的英语思维。该文通过对《Friends》的分析,提出几点关于美剧对英语学习的帮助。

1《Friends》有利于英语学习者对异域文化以及历史的理解

电视剧《六人行》,又名《老友记》,是美国NBC电视台从1994年开播、连续播出了10年的一部幽默情景喜剧,也是美国历史上甚至是全球范围最成功、影响力最大的电视剧之一。全剧共236集,每集大约20分钟左右。短小故事的导入也让学习者对故事的发展产生兴趣,更有兴趣去探索其背景知识。故事主要描述了住在纽约的六个好朋友,从相识到后来一起经历了10年的生活中发生的一系列的故事。再这十年的故事发展中,历史事件以及典故不断穿插在其中,这有利于对历史的深层次理解。对于中国的英语学习者来说,最困难的就是中西方文化差异而产生的理解差异,思维逻辑的差异。而《Friends》之所以受人欢迎,其一是因为它完全具备消费良品的素质,而更重要的是,在身临其境的幽默中,我们感受到了如我们日常生活的发生的普通事情,通过不同职业不同性格的人因为情感、原则、利益、地位等问题产生矛盾、闹出笑话,也淋漓尽致的展现了爱情和友情的重要性。每一个剧中的人物都性格鲜明,不同的人物性格特点以及爆满的人物塑造也满足了英语学习者对美国社会文化的了解。文化通过语言来体现,我们从《Friends》感受到了一个民族的政治、经济、宗教、风俗等等方面的讯息,这些异域风情是通过荧幕自然、生动的展现出的。《Friends》无形中成为人们日常生活的一面镜子,可以让我们学习美国人的英语思维,文化氛围。可以让我们学习生活,去欣赏生活中的那些真善美。

2《Friends》对英语听力、口语训练有重要的推进作用

对于英语初学者来说,《Friends》无疑是最佳的提高英语的途径。在整部剧中,都是简单的人物对话,没有长句,并且词汇也是些口语的基本词汇,例如:working on commission赚佣金,take your forever to find……花费很长时间找到某物等等,这些对于想突破发音以及基础对话的学习者来说是练习的经典之作。像类似《Friends》这样的经典美剧带给学习者更多的就是真实的语言环境,也营造了相应的语言文化氛围。很多英语学习者掌握了大量的单词,但是真正要想说一口地道流利的美式发音却很困难,一张口就会给人发音不地道的感觉,这就是口语练习没有相应的环境。英语的语音对于学习英语来说是基础,它包括单词的发音以及核心词汇和日常习语的掌握,语音语调也是英语学习者需要注意的方面,通过对《Friends》反复观摩,会对发音错误的单词有一个良好的纠正作用、模仿过程。学习英语的康庄大道离不开对句子的仿效,对句子的循环练习。这样才能在模仿与反复观摩的双重动力下产生脱口而出的地道口语。《Friends》给学习者通过大量的精彩情节展现了单词以及句子的使用语境,对语感的建立起到至关重要的作用,并营造了听力训练的实用信息。在现有的大量英语听力训练材料中话题陈旧,句式固定,很难让学习者产生学习兴趣,而《Friends》这种美剧带给英语学习者的是日常生活中的实用语句,并用妙趣横生的方式让学习者记忆深刻,每个人物在发音中的连读、弱读都风格迥异,与我们日常练习的听力材料相差深远,因此通过对美剧的反复观看,也能够起到纠正发音、熟悉不同的发音风格以及积累句型的作用,更在潜意识中理顺了地道英语的逻辑思维,这对日后的听力训练产生了巨大的推动作用。

3《Friends》有利于英语学习者阅读能力的提升

很多英语学习者都有感受,从我们学习英语开始接触的大部分英语都是经过加工和修饰,比较完整的句子,常常使用的都是长句、复杂句,逻辑严谨,层次分明。但是英语作为一门语言在日常交际中,不可能都说长句、复杂句,有很多短句、单句、省略句。我们在阅读的过程中就时常产生困惑,这些省略句表达了什么,这些俚语是什么意思,造成了阅读障碍,这些跨文化的因素可以通过像《Friends》这样的美剧来解决。在第一遍观看《Friends》时,很多英语学习者都关注字幕内容,一般像美国英语,语音的输出频率在每分钟一百五十个音节左右。在美剧中,每个人物都有自己语速,再加上连读、弱读等不同,英语学习者在初学对话的过程中,就会在听力的过程中潜意识的加快阅读的速度。也会在潜意识里对对话内容进行精看或者是泛看。在这个过程中,英语学习者的阅读速度也会不知不觉中得到锻炼。

在遇到美剧中内容难以理解时,推动了大部分的英语学习者做些相应的阅读以便增加词汇量,以及惯用语法的学习,会进行深入阅读进行流行语和文化背景知识的阅读,并查阅相关的语言文化资料。这些都在潜移默化中推动了英语学习者阅读能力的提升。

综上所述,像《Friends》这样的美剧对于英语学习来说具有巨大的影响力。在听力、口语、阅读等方面都有巨大的促进作用,很多英语学习者都从中收益颇多。我们可以充分利用美剧的丰富资源,色彩丰富的画面,引人入胜的情节,激动人心的配乐等等调动了一切利于英语学习的因素,我们要适当进行调整,在兴趣中学习语言,突破传统的英语学习模式,打开了学习者的耳朵也让学习者感受到了学习英语前景是广阔的,并让英语学习者在生动活泼的情节发展与饱满人物塑造中学习英语,那些精彩的对白以及精雕细琢的画面让英语学习者久久不能忘怀,在享受异国风情的同时又展开了余韵不尽的英语学习。

Friends 篇6

Invited by the CPAFFC, a delegation of the Forum of Sino-Burkinan Friendship headed by its honorary president Zephirin Diabre visited Guangzhou, Xian and Beijing from October 15 to 21, 2007.Though diplomatic relations between China and Burkina Faso suspended in 1994, contacts between the two peoples have never stopped. The delegation attended the 102nd Session of the China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) and visited the Xian National Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone. In Beijing, it called on the China-Africa Business Council, the Export-Import Bank of China, the Ministry of Land and Resources, CNOOC International Limited, China Nuclear International Uranium Corporation, Beijing Holley-Cotec Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., China-Africa Development Fund and China Construction Bank.

Since its founding in 2004, the Forum of Sino-Burkinan Friendship has attracted many personages from the economic, trade and banking circles to join in. They all wish to promote the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries through economic and trade contacts. It is their firm conviction that as Chinas influence in the world grows and its economic size increases, no one can succeed in his attempt to prevent the normalization of relations between Burkina Faso and China.

The delegation made a call on the Export-Import Bank of China to discuss matters concerning the development of bilateral trade and economic relations. The Bank suggested that the mineral resources of Burkina Faso be converted into cash liquidity to construct infrastructure facilities, for which China can provide funds. Chinas economic cooperation mode suits the development in Africa. The delegation was told that as Chinas telecommunications sector has achieved an annual growth rate of 60 percent overseas and that both Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Corp. have their offices in Burkina Faso, if bilateral diplomatic relations are restored, Burkina Faso will enjoy buyers credit from the Export-Import Bank of China, which will have great impact on its economic development. Members of the delegation expressed regret that they are not entitled to get preferential loan and buyers credit because there are no diplomatic relations between the two countries. Members of the delegation Alain Coefe, former commerce minister and the present president of Burkina Fasos Administration Council of the Mansion of Enterprise, and Bernard Zangre, deputy editor-in-chief of Observer, a daily newspaper with the largest circulation in Burkina Faso, said that they would publish reports on what they had seen and heard in China in newspapers and appeal to the government to resume diplomatic relations with China at an early date.

The delegation also paid a visit to the China-Africa Business Council. The Council was set up in the wake of the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. It has already organized Chinese entrepreneurs to go to Togo, Zambia and Tanzania to hold commodity exhibitions and sales and achieved good results. The Burkinan friends said that they were capable of hosting delegations from relevant Chinese departments to come to their country to invite investment, mount exhibitions and hold economic and trade forums. They hoped to carry out nongovernmental economic and trade exchanges to promote governmental ties. They believed that when diplomatic relations between the two countries resumed, bilateral trade and economic exchanges would be elevated to a higher level and cooperation would expand.

The Burkinan friends expressed the hope that Chinese entrepreneurs would come to Burkina Faso to develop and utilize solar energy. With strong sunshine, the annual average temperature in the country is 35 degrees centigrade, the highest 45 degrees centigrade. They said, Chinas good-quality but cheap construction materials and electronic products are very popular in Burkina Faso. Now, about 70% of daily necessities in the market are from China, but they enter Burkina Faso through entrepot trade. They hoped to realize direct trade through promoting the normalization of diplomatic relations.
