A lejmolás csúnya dolog. Leeching is a nasty thing. Lejmolni a legegyszerűbb. To be a leech is the simplest solution. Lopni még könnyebb. It's easier to steal. Nehezen tudta eldönteni melyiket vegye. It was difficult for him to decide which one to buy.

Szörnyű volt látni, ahogy ott szenvednek pályán.

It was terrible to see them suffering in the a field.

Szerintem könnyű volt megírni. I think it was easy to write it. Lepihenni melletted, menedék a szívem-

nek.

To lie down and rest beside you is a shelter for my heart.

Utálok csavarogni, mikor minden zsúfolt. I hate hanging about when everything is packed.

Alig várom, hogy találkozhassunk. I'm looking forward to seeing you. Nincs értelme veszekedni. It's no use quarrelling. Imádja, ha bámulják. She enjoys being stared at. Mindig iszik almalevet lefekvés előtt. He always drinks apple juice before going to bed.

Elrohant, miután meglátott. After seeing me he ran away. Gondold át, mielőtt meghívod. Think it over before inviting him. Adj valamit inni. Give me something to drink. Nincs senki, akihez szólhatnék. There is nobody to talk to. Unom már, hogy mindig én húzlak ki a csávából.

I'm getting tired of saving your butt.

Megpróbálunk valami jó megoldást találni mindenki számára.

We're trying to find a proper solution for everybody.

Nem felejtették el tököt hozni? Did you remember to bring pumpkin? Emlékszem, hogy az asztalra tettem, de most nem találom sehol.

I remember putting it on the table but now I can't find it anywhere.

Kipróbálta milyen mezítláb futni. He tried running barefoot. Megpróbált fölkelni, de nem ment. Hi tried to get put but he failed. Megállt, hogy felvegye a cipőjét. He stopped to put on her shoes. Abbahagyta a cipőhúzást. He stopped putting on her shoes. Vállaltam, hogy a hónap végére megcsinálom.

I undertook to do it by the end of the month.

Sikerült utolérnem. I managed to catch up with him.

Nem sikerült utolérnem. I failed to catch up with him. Felajánlottam, hogy kifizetem a szállodát. I offered to pay for the hotel.

Remélem, hogy hamarosan találkozunk. I hope to see you as soon as possible. Szólj, hogy hívjam fel az állatkertet. Remind me to call the zoo, please. Ez téged arra fog kötelezni, hogy minden kívánságát teljesítsd.

That will oblige you to fulfil all her wishes.

Tényleg akartam veled beszélgetni a do- logról, de nem gondoltam, hogy ma ilyen korán hazajössz.

I really meant to tell you about the situation very soon, but I didn't expect you to come home as early as that.

Nem akarlak elveszíteni. I don't want to lose you. Féltem közel menni hozzá. A was afraid to approach her. A zsugori fazonja nem volt hajlandó ki- The mean it refused to fork out a grand. pengetni egy rongyot. Ne felejtsd el megnézni, nem hagytam-e nálad a csipkés kombiném.

Don't forget to check if I have left my laced slip in your house.

Fontos lesz majd, hogy tudj angolul. It will be very important for you to speak English.

Nagyon betegnek tettette magát, de en- gem nem tudott átverni.

He pretended to be very sick, but he failed to fool me.

A rendőr meglátott egy embert, aki köz- szemérem elleni vétséget követett el és úgy döntött, hogy letartóztatja.

The policeman caught sight of a man committing a public nuisance, so he decided to arrest him.

Nem akarlak megbántani. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Abbahagytam az ivást meg a dohányzást, mert nagyon drága mulatság.

I gave up smoking and drinking because they are very expensive habits.

Nem bánom ha itt maradsz éjszakára, de légy szíves ne horkolj.

I don't mind you staying here for the night, but please don't snore.

Érdemes megvenni ezt a csinos kis olasz cipőt.

It's worth buying that pretty little Italian pair of shoes.

Érdemes venni ilyen bölcsőt, mert a baba álomba tudja ringatni magát.

It's worth buying a cradle like that because the baby can rock itself into sleep.

Nem érdemes sírni elszalasztott lehető- ségek miatt.

It's no use crying after missed opportunities

Muszáj kiszellőztetnem, amikor elmegy. I can never help airing the room after she leaves.

Mikor először ránéztem, nevetnem kellett, aztán meg sírnom.

When I first looked at her I couldn't help laughing, but then I couldn't help crying.

Ki nem állhatom, amikor telefüstöli a szobát. I can't stand him filling the room with smoke.

Én élvezem, mikor kint vagyunk a nyílt tengeren egy kis gumicsónakban, és kö-rülöttünk cápák.

I really enjoy being out there upon the high sea in a small rubber boat surrounded.

Élvezte, hogy itt fekszik a függőágyban és tíz szép lány kínálgatja itallal.

He enjoyed lying in the hammock with ten beautiful girls offering him drinks.

Nem tudtam megúszni, hogy ne találkozzam vele.

I couldn't avoid meeting him.

Javaslom, hogy mindent szavazzunk le. I suggest voting against everything. Nekem hiányzik, hogy minden reggel ötkor keljek.

I miss having to go to work at five every morning.

Megint kezdett pukkasztgatni, bár fi- gyelmeztettem, hogy ne tegye.

He started popping again, though I had warned him no to do it.

Nem tudta megállni, hogy ne csússzon egyre közelebb hozzá.

He couldn't help slipping closer a closer to her.

Még csak tárgyalni se hajlandó arról, hogy leköltözzön egy libafarmra.

She wouldn't even consider moving to the goose farm.

El tudod te képzelni Zsuzsit, amint egy libafarmon él?

Can you imagine Susie living on a goose farm?

Kétlem, hogy őszinte ez ügyben. I doubt him being honest about it. Tagadom, hogy bármi ilyesmit tettem volna, uram.

I deny doing anything like that, sir.

A tyúkok nehezményezték, hogy napi két tojást kelljen tojniuk.

The hens resented having to lay two eggs a day.

Sosem említetted, hogy volt dolgod vele. You never mentioned having had an affair with him.

Még egyszer nem kockáztatom meg, hogy kölcsönadjak neki.

I won't risk lending him any money once again.

Megfogta a tehén farkát, mely az istállóban kérődzött.

He caught the tail of the cow ruminating in the barn.

Dühös volt a sofőrre, aki az ablak alatt túráztatta a kocsiját.

He was angry with the driver revving his car under the window.

Megvigasztalta a lányt, aki ott sóhajtozott a szoba sarkában.

He tried to comfort the girl sighing in the corner of the room.

Te is láttad a csótányt, amelyik a lefolyó felé rohant?

Did you also see the cockroach running towards the plug-hole?

De szép az a medál, ami a nyakadban lóg. Wow, that's a beautiful medal hanging round your neck.

Kiszúrta azt az alakot, amelyik az Astoria sarkánál pénzt váltott.

He spotted the guy changing money in the corner ofAstoria.

Nem vette meg a lovat, amelyik ott nyerí- tett a karám sarkában.

He didn't buy the horse neighing in the corner the stockyard.

Viszont megvette a birkát, amelyik ott bégetett a lovon.

But he bought the sheep bleating on the horse.

Levágta a bajszát, amelyik mindig böködte a lány fülcimpáját.

He cut his moustache prickling the girl's earlobe all the time.

Karjába kapta a lányt, aki a "Júliá"-t énekelte.

He held the girl singing "Júlia".

Piroska észrevette a farkast, amint az a fák közt ólálkodott.

Little Red Riding Hood noticed the wolf lurking in the woods.

Minthogy húsz évig élt Olaszországban, tudta hogy kell spagettit főzni.

Having lived in Italy for twenty years, he knew how to cook spaghetti.

Minthogy kiválasztott egy pár kesztyűt, úgy döntött vesz egy hozzávaló bundát.

Having chosen a pair of gloves she decided to buy a matching frusta.

Miután már tíz éve ő volt a legnagyobb sztár elhatározta, hogy örökre visszavonul.

Having been the greatest star for ten years she decided to retire for good.

Miután leszerelt a hadseregtől, elment rendőrnek.

Having been discharged from the army, he decided to join the police force.

Mivel három kitűnő darabban már látta színpadon, neki szánta filmjének egyik főszerepét.

Having seen her on stage in three excellent plays, he considered her for a leading part in his movie.

Megkért, hogy menjek el. He asked me to leave. Felment a padlásra, s nem is nézett énrám.

She went up to the loft without even glancing at me.

Miután kiitta a sörét, elbúcsúzott. Having drained his beer glass, he said goodbye.

Záróra! Closing time!

Bejött a szobába, és mikor meglátott, rájött a csuklás.

She came into the room and seeing me started hiccuping.

Az istállóban tárolt széna és gabona illatától nagyon jól érezte magát.

The smell of the hay and grain stored in the barn filled him with a sense of well being.

Sose csináltam még szakálassal. I've never done it with a bearded guy. Csak ez a takaró van, amire fekhetünk. I've got just this blanket to lie on. A lány holmija mellé tette a cipőjét, amibe betuszkolta a zokniját, és a harisnyáját.

He placed his shoes stuffed with socks and garter next to her things.

Suttogott, ahogy feküdt mellette. She whispered lying beside him. Nagyon örült, hogy megtalálta a nadrágját He was overjoyed to find his pants.

Ezt kapom azért, amiért téged szedtelek fel, ahelyett hogy megvártam volna azt, amelyiknek van vér a pucájában.

It's what I get for picking you instead for of waiting for the one with guts.

Befagy a hátsó felem. My ass is frozen. Aztán továbbmentek, egy szó nélkül. Then they went on, neither speaking. Egy kutya kezdte követni őket. A dog began to follow them. Befejezted már a fésülködést? Have you finished combing your hair?

Meglepetten látta, hogy teljesen üres az utca.

He was surprised to see that the street was completely deserted.

Rá se rántott, hogy megálljon a pirosnál. He didn't bother to stop at the red light. Ennek semmi köze az üzlethez. That has nothing do with this deal. Neked most nem kéne itt lenned. You're not supposed to be here. Az ablakon beszűrődő holdvilág fényében látta meg őt.

By the moonlight straining through the window he saw her.

Hangja halk és visszafogott volt. His voice was low and impressed. Az a szerencsénk, hogy beszéltél vele. We got lucky with you talking to her. Úgy döntött, hogy a saját feje után megy. He decided to use his own judgement. Érezte, ahogy egyre jobban feszíti belülről a düh.

He felt a furious anger rising in him.

Nincs itt ma este senki, aki vigyázhatna a kicsire.

There is no one here tonight to look after the nipper.

A házból lépcsők vezettek az utcára. The house had steps leading down into the street.

Az életemet mentetted meg azzal, hogy észrevetted a skorpiót.

You saved my life by spotting the scorpion.

Egy kocsi dübörgött végig az utcán. A car came roaring down the street. Te aztán jól elijesztetted a festőket, akiket festeni küldtek!

You scared off the painters sent to paint the flat.

Még vagy tíz percig maradtak a szobában és közben dohányoztak.

They stayed in the room smoking for another ten minutes.

A Józsi mellett álló lány így szólt. The girl standing beside Joe said . Érezte, hogy az oldalához szorítják a karját. He felt his arms pinned to his sides.

Alig tudott beszélni. He had trouble talking. Két csodás órát töltöttek a lány heverőjén fekve, miközben egy filmet néztek.

They spent two brillo lying on her bed watching a film.

Jót fog tenni neked, ha vegyülsz egy kicsit a munkásosztállyal.

It'll do you good to mingle with the prole- tariat.

Az ember hajlamos elfeledkezni a köte- lességeiről.

One tends to forget one has obligations to meet.

A kínos helyzetet feloldandó, felhívta a nénikéjét.

To create a diversion she telephoned her aunt.

Körülnézve láttam, hogy jó néhányan táncolnak.

Looking around I could see quite a few people dancing.

Nem volt hajlandó felpróbálni azt az íz- léstelen pulóvert.

She refused to try the tasteless pullover on.

Úgy vásárolt össze-vissza, mint egy tébolyult.

She went mad buying clothes.

Van valami ötleted, hogy hogyan lehet gyorsan egymilliót szerezni?

Can you think of a way to make a million in a hurry?

Tiszta ideg, ha arra gondol, hogy szabadságra kell mennie.

He is getting neurotic about going on holiday.

Szenvedett, ha arra gondolt, hogy két hetet kell eltöltenie nélküle.

He was in anguish at the prospect of being without her for two weeks.

A lépcsőn álltak és órákon át csevegtek. They stood on the steps ringing the bell for ages.

Lepusztult egy fazon volt. He was a miserable-looking bloke. Láttad, ahogy ott korzózott és a dobozból szürcsölte a sört?

Did you see him walking along the promenade swigging out of a can of lager?

Még 339 mondat. Another 339 sentences to go. A BKV úgy ünnepelt, hogy minden dolgo-zójának adott egy ingyen buszjegyet.

BPTC celebrated by giving every worker an extra bus ticket.

A kutyák a kocsma előtt álltak, és a gazdájukat várták.

The dogs stood outside the bar waiting for their masters.

Ne nyüszögj már! Stop whining! Menj és foglald el magad! Go and find something to do! Valamit el kell mondanom. I've got something to tell you. Micsoda megaláztatás, hogy nyalókát kaptam a születésnapomra!

The humiliation of being given a lollipop for my birthday.

Nem tudtam mit mondani, így hát csöndben maradtam.

I couldn't think of anything to say so I kept quit.

Örülnél, ha megszabadultál tőlem, mi? You would be glad to get rid of me, wouldn't you?

Beszélt, és közben fel se nézett az újság- ból.

He spoke without looking up from his paper.

És ha azt mondanám, hogy ez nekem nagyon sokat jelent?

Supposing I said it meant at whole lot to me.

Miközben beszélt, a szőnyeg szélét rúgdosta.

He talked kicking at the edge of the rug.

Abbahagynád ezt a témát? Will you quit harping on that subject?

- Figyelj! - mondta, és felugrott. "Listen", he said leaping to his feet. Akár az igazat is megmondhatnád, ahelyett, hogy itt köntörfalazol.

You might as well tell me the truth instead of beating about the bush.

Mindent elrontasz azzal, hogy így állsz hozzá.

You spoil everything by taking the attitude.

Oly nagy rössel civakodtak és szidták egymást, hogy elfelejtették lemondani a meghívást.

They were so busy quarrelling and calling each other names that they forgot to cancel to invitation.

Nézd már, hogy teszi magát; enyhén szétnyílt ajkak, verdeső szempillák, aztán tágra nyílt szempár, időnként meg a karjára teszi a kezét.

Look what an act she is putting on; parted lips, eyelashes fluttering, and then her eyes opening wide and now and then a hand laid on his sleeve.

Nos, miután Józsi olyan volt amilyen, a lány nem tiltakozott a leosztás ellen.

Well, Joe being what he was, she didn't object to the share out.

Azt vártam, hogy bejelentik a lány és Józsi eljegyzését.

A expected to see her engagement to Joe announced.

Nem volt senki, aki a számlát fizette volna. There was no one else to pay the bill. Muszáj volt ez-két célzást ejtenem róla. I couldn't help dropping a hint or two about

him.

Felesége is volt valahol titokban. He had a wife tucked away somewhere. Gondoltam kitesz magáért. I expected her to do herself well. Ismertem azt a szokását, hogy úgy rendel ételt, hogy az étlapon lévő legdrágább fogást választja, akár szereti, akár nem.

A knew her habit of choosing a dinner by picking the highest prices on the menu, whether she liked the dish or not.

Kénytelen vagyok azt mondani, hogy nem sajnállak.

I'm bound to say I don't feel sorry for you.

Javára legyen mondva, soha nem titkolta, hogy pénzsóvár.

To do her justice she never concealed she was a mercenary.

Olyan fiatal, és olyan jó ránézni. She is so young and easy to look at. Ha egy lány hajnali kettőkor egy taxiban huzakodik, biztos lehet benne, hogy igazi úrhölgy.

Fighting your way home in a taxi at two o'clock in the morning may help you to reassure that you're still a lady.

Mindenkivel lekezelő volt, még velem is. She patronised everyone including me. Ezeknek a műanyag zacskóknak csak ki kéne bírni, hogy ne szakadjanak ki, ha az ember 800 méteren átcipeli őket.

These carrier bags ought to stand up to being dragged half a mile without splitting.

Egész este kenyértésztát dagasztottam I spent all evening bashing dough about. Ültünk és kényképeket néztünk. We sat around looking at photos.

Aztán horkolni kezdett. And then he started snoring. Nem lehet végigmenni az utcán anélkül hogy bele ne ütköznél seftesekbe, akik symphoniát árulnak.

You can't walk down the street without bumping into wheeler-dealers selling Symphonia cigarettes.

Eltökélt szándéka, hogy beáll rendőrnek. It is his ambition to join the police force. Régi filmekben láttam, hogy így csinálják. I've seen it done in old films. Mielőtt felkelt, aludt. Before getting up he was sleeping. Miután aludt, felkelt. After sleeping he got up. Miközben aludt, felkelt. (Holdkóros.) While sleeping he got up. (He is sleep- walker.)

79 (HETVENKILENC) APRÓSÁG 79 (SEVENTY-NINE) LITTLE ONES

Néhányan megbetegedtek. Some got ill. Valaki kopog. Somebody is knocking. Semmi sem hasonlítható hozzád. Nothing compares to you. Van aki tud, van aki nem. Ez már csak így van.

Some can, some can't. That's how it is.

Nincs só a levesben. There isn't any salt in the soup. Ki van zárva. No way. Van otthon valaki? - Senki. - De valaki csak mondta azt, hogy senki.

"Is there anybody at home?" "Nobody". "But somebody must have said 'nobody!"

Van még kávé a csészében? Is there some coffee in the cup?

Ez se tetszik, meg az se. I don't like either this or that. Egyik se tetszik. I don't like either. Nem mind a kettő tetszik. I like both of them. Kettőjük közül egyik se kéne. I wouldn't need either. Mindenki más meg tudta volna csinálni. Everybody else could have done it. Mindkét szülője imádja. Both of hi parents love him. Mind az apja, mind az anyja elismerte, hogy igaza volt.

Nem szeret focizni, de imád zongorázni. He doesn't like to play football but he loves playing the piano.

Bárcsak itt lennél. I wish you were here. Bárcsak szólna hozzám. If only he would talk to me. Bárcsak tudtam volna. I wish I had known. Bárcsak meg tudnálak érteni. I wish I could understand you. Bárcsak esne rám. I wish it would rain down on me. Bárcsak ne ettem volna meg. If only I hadn't eaten it. Oh. ha én is köztetek lehetnék. If only I could be with you. Bárcsak fiatalabb volnék húsz évvel. I wish I were twenty years younger. Ugye megmondtam, hogy ne vidd a szobába!

I've told you not to take in into the room, haven't I?

Jó, mi? It's good, isn't it?

Megszerzed nekem, ugye? You'll get for me, won't you?

Legfőbb ideje, hogy elzárd. It's high time you turned it off. Ideje, hogy legyen rám egy kis ideje. It's time you had some time for me. Legfőbb ideje, hogy felöltözz. It's high time you put on your dress. Ideje hogy újra kihívják a vak zongora- hangolót.

It's time the blind piano tuner called again.

Ideje már, hogy levágasd a hajad! It's about time you had your hair cut! Ideje, hogy beköltözzünk. It's time we moved in. Van kedved táncolni? Do you feel like dancing?

Mulatni volna kedvem. I feel like having fun. Kedvem volna lovagolni. I feel like riding. Mindig azt tette, amihez kedve volt. He always did what he felt like doing. Nincs kedvem vasalni. I don't feel like ironing. Van kedved egy csésze kávéhoz. Do you feel like a cup of coffee?

Nem szeretlek és a kutya sem. I don't like you and neither does the dog. Iccereg a macska és a hörcsög is. The cat is fidgeting and so is the hamster. Párizsit eszik és sajtot is. He is eating parizsi and cheese, too. Hideg van, meg sötét is. It's cold and dark, too. Nem tetszik ez, és nem tetszik az se. I don't like this, and I don't like that, either. Nincsen apám, se anyám. I've got neither father, nor mother. Énekelek és táncolok is. I sing and dance, too. Csöpög a csap és a WC is. The tap is dripping and so is the lavatory. Nincs rajtam pizsama és papucs se. I'm not wearing pyjamas and slippers either. A nyuszin van sapka és a farkason is. The rabbit is wearing a cap and so is the

wolf.

Remélem, elkapják. Én is. I hope they'll catch him. So do I. Hófehérkének nincs fehér ruhája, és a törpéknek sincs.

Emlékszem, hogyan öleltél át. I remember how you used to hold me. Régen minden más volt. Things used to be different. A lányok régebben rövidebb szoknyát hordtak.

Girls used to wear shorter skirts.

The workers used to get extra money on November 7th.

Nem az vagy, aki valaha voltál. You're not the man you used to be. Amikor még ifjú házasok voltunk, minden nap felhívtál.

When we were just married you used to telephone me every day.

Régen azért soványabb voltál. You used to be thinner. Régen gazember volt, de most barátsá- gos alak.

He used to be a jerk, but now he is a friendly guy.

Hová is mehettem volna? Where was I to go?

Úgy volt, hogy pénteken jönnek haza. They were to come home on Friday. Úgy van, hogy júniusban esküszünk. We are to be married in June. Másnap kellett volna elmennünk, de megbetegedtem.

We were to have gone away the next day, but I was ill.

Az elitélteknek 10-kor ágyban kell lenniük. All prisoners are to be in bed by 10 o'clock. Itt nem dohányozhatsz. You are not to smoke here. Minél nagyobb Pistike feje, annál több víz megyen bele.

Csak úgy. Off he went. Just like that. Olyan kicsi vagy, mint egy törpe. You're as small as a dwarf. Te meg olyan vagy, mint egy gőzmozdony. You're just like a steam engine.

Olyan a szemed, mint egy kispárna. Your eyes are like a little pillow. Heten vannak, mint a gonoszok. They are seven like the evil. Mint a filmeken. Like a movie scene. Pont olyan csinos, mint a mamája. She's as pretty as her mother is. Egy bolha egyensúlyozott a macska bajuszán.

There was a flea balancing on the cat's moustache.

Fecskék repültek Dél-Afrika felé. There were swallows flying towards South Africa.

Láttam, hogy kéz a kézben sétálnak a kertben.

I saw them walking hand in hand in the garden.

Hallottam, hogy Juliska énekel a fürdőszobában.

I heard Julia singing in the bathroom.

De jól áll az a pulóver. That pullover really suits you. Pont jó a cipő. Those shoes fit me. Öreg vagy te már, nem áll jól a láncos dzseki.

You're too old; a chain jacket doesn't suit you.

Hű, de jó kis sapka. Hű, és pont jó. Hű de jól áll. Hű, és a sáladhoz is megy.

Hm, that's a good cap. Hm, and it fits you. Hm, and it suits you, too. Hm, and it goes with your scarf.

You are nothing like my first wife.

Te nem tudod mit beszélsz. You don't know what you're saying. Pontosan tudom, hogy milyen nő volt az első feleséged.

I know exactly what kind of a woman your first wife was.

Igyekezett mindenkinek örömet szerezni. She tried hard to please everyone. Ő már csak ilyen volt. She was just like that. De azért nem volt olyan önző, mint te. But she wasn't as selfish as you are. Sokkal jobban főzött, mint te, és kész. She was much better at cooking than you cook

and that's it. Én még ilyen marhát nem láttam. I haven't seen a moron like you. Most már viselkedjél. Control yourself. Elvigyelek valahová ma este? Shall I take you out tonight?

És milyen jól néz ki meztelen. And how good she looks naked. Lehet, hogy festi magát. She my use make-up. Attól még nem lesz kopaszabb. That won't make her balder. Nincs több, ugye? There's no more, is there? Nincs. No.

A következőt jól jegyezd meg! Ha kijelentő mondatban akarod azt mondani, hogy sok,

akkor az a lot of, vagy lots of szavakat használd! E kettő bármelyike szerepelhet akár

megszámlálható, akár megs 11411q1614l zámlálhatatlan főnév előtt.

Például: He made a lot of mistakes. Sok hibát csinált. His son gives him a lot of trouble. A fia sok bajt okoz neki. Lots of money is spent on beer every year. Minden évben sokat költenek sörre. I have got lots of leisure time. Sok szabadidőm van. She's got a lot of cars. Sok autója van.

Lots of és a lot of helyett használhatsz plenty of-ot is meg még másokat is, de az előbbi

kettő a leggyakoribb.

Ha a mondat kérdő, vagy tagadó, a many és a much használata javasolt. Many-t

használj megszámlálható főnevek előtt, s a főnevet tedd többes számba. Much-ra akkor

van szükség, ha a főnév megszámlálhatatlan, és természetesen ez nem is tehető többes

számba.

Például: He didn't make many mistakes. Nem vétett sok hibát. Did he make many mistakes? Sok hibát csinált? He hasn't got much leisure time. Nincs sok szabadideje. Has he got much leisure time? Sok szabadideje van? His son didn't give him much trouble. A fia nem okozott sok gondot neki. Has she got many cars? Sok autója van?

Kijelentő mondatban is many/much-ot kell használni abban az esetben, ha valamilyen

módosító szó áll a sok előtt.

Például: so, as, too, how, very, rather stb.

Például: He's got so many problems with his car. Annyi baja van a kocsijával. I've got as much as two forints. Annyi mint két forintom van. There are too many people standing in front Túl sok ember áll a tűz előtt. of the fire.

A sok ellentéte köztudomásúan a kevés. Nos ez a szó az angol nyelvben is létezik,

méghozzá kétféle formában:

(a) few; (a) little;

A helyzet ugyanaz, mint a many/much esetében, vagyis az egyik (mégpedig az (a) few)

vonatkozik vonatkozik megszámlálható főnevekre, míg az (a)

little megszámlálhatatlanokra. Nincs azonban különbség kijelentő, kérdő és tagadó

mondat között, vagyis mindháromban e két szó jelenti azt, hogy kevés.

Bizonyára fúrja az oldalad, hogy miért tettem zárójelbe az a határozatlan névelőt

(magyar jelentése: egy) few, illetve little előtt. Nos azért, mert magyarban is mást jelent,

ha azt mondod:

Van egy kevés pénzem, vagy pedig

Kevés pénzem van.

Nos, ha a few, illetve a little szerepel a mondatban, akkor van egy kevés valamiből, ha

pedigfew, vagy little, akkor kevés van valamiből.

Például: I wrote a few letters. Megírtam néhány levelet. I wrote few letters. Kevés levelet írtam. He had a little trouble. Volt egy kis baja. He had little trouble. Kevés baja volt. I've got a little time. Van egy kis időm. I've got little time. Kevés időm van. We saw a few people there. Láttunk ott néhány embert. We saw few people there. Kevés embert láttunk ott.

A listát az oktatási gyakorlat és a társalgási könyvek, tankönyvek szituációinak 2

évtizede tartó elemző használata érlelte ki. A sorszámozást sajnos csak így tudtam

megoldani - de mindenképpen meg akartam könnyíteni a listában való eligazodást. A

lista elemeinek gyakorlati használatát és megtanulását a gyakori átolvasás, hangos

felolvasás, minidialógusokban való elhelyezés segíti, vagyis törekedni kell arra, hogy a

klisészerű kifejezéseket, de akár a jelzőket és elöljárókat is igyekezzünk minél

széleskörűbb jelentéssel alkalmazni. Még a bonyolultabb kérdésekre is megfelelő lehet

egy egyetlen szavas, minél lényegre törőbb, minél informatívabb válasz.

Access to English - Starting out - 5.1. - ARTHUR’S DREAM (audio)

(A hanganyag az Explorer keresőben nyílik meg.)

It’s Sunday afternoon. It’s raining. Arthur’s sitting in an armchair in Mrs Harrison’s

sitting-room. He’s thinking. He isn’t happy; he’s miserable. The television’s on but Arthur

isn’t watching it. What’s he thinking about? He’s thinking about Mary. What’s she doing

this afternoon? She isn’t sitting at home and she isn’t watcing television.

She’s sitting next to Bruce in his car. They’re driving into the country. Arthur isn’t driving

with Mary. He hasn’t got a car and he hasn’t got any money.

Now Mrs Harrison’s walking into the sitting-room. What’s she carrying? She’s carrying a

tray. What’s on the tray? There are two cups of coffee - one for Arthur and one for Mrs

Harrison.

Now the coffee’s on the arm of Arthur’s chair, but he isn’t drinking it. Arthur’s sleeping.

He’s dreaming. What’s he dreaming about? He‘s dreaming about Mary.

In his dream Arthur’s got a car. Bruce isn’t driving the car; Arthur is. Arthur’s driving the

car and Mary’s sitting next to Arthur. She isn’t sitting with Bruce. Arthur and Mary are

going to the seaside together. It isn’t raining now. The sun’s shining and the birds are

singing. It’s a beautiful day and Arthur’s happy.

Now Arthur and Mary are lying on the beach. Arthur’s wearing a pair of swimming-trunks

and Mary’s wearing a bikini. Mary’s eating an ice-cream, and Arthur’s smoking a

cigarette. Bruce isn’t lying on the beach with Mary; Arthur is.

- Look at all those people, Mary. They’re swimming in the sea. It’s a beautiful day.

- Yes, it’s a lovely day. The water’s warm, the sun’s shining and I’m very happy.

- I’m happy too, Mary. We’re together and we’re lying on this lovely beach.

- I’ve got the radio here, Arthur.

- Good, switch it on.

- … and the next postcard’s from Arthur Newton of 21 Gladstone Avenue, Middleford so

we’re playing this record for Arthur and his girlfriend Mary Stephens. Arthur and Mary are

librarians in Middleford. Happy days, Arthur and Mary …

- Listen, Mary, they’re playing our song.

- Oh, Arthur, you are sweet … Oh look, some children are playing cricket over there on

the sand near the sea.

- Oh yes. That boy with red hair’s hitting the ball very hard. Now that little blonde girl’s

running into the sea.

- Oh dear. She isn’t coming back … Good heavens! She’s drowning! And Arthur’s going

in!

- Oh dear, my Helen’s drowning!

- No, she isn’t. Look, Arthur’s carrying your child on his back. He’s coming out of the

water now. Is she all right?

- Yes, she’s OK. She’s unconscious but she’s breathing.

- Oh, thank you, young man.

- Oh, it’s nothing at all.

- Look, she’s opening her eyes.

- Mummy, where am I?

- You’re all right now, darling, thank to this young man.

- Oh, Arthur, you’re so brave. I’ve got a wonderful boyfriend.

- You’re wonderful too, Mary. You’re wonderful …

- Am I really wonderful, Arhtur? Well, you aren’t drinking my coffee.

- Oh dear!

Arthur álma

Vasárnap délután van. Esik az eső. Arthur éppen egy karosszékben ül Mrs Harrison

nappalijában. Éppen gondolkodik. Nem boldog; szerencsétlenül érzi magát. A tv be van

kapcsolva, de Arthur nem nézi. Miről gondolkodik? Mary-ről gondolkodik. Mit csinál ő

most ma délután? Nem otthon ül és nem a tv-t nézi.

Ő Bruce mellett ül a férfi kocsijában. Ők éppen kocsival vidékre mennek. Nem Arthur

autózik Mary-vel. Neki nincsen autója és nincsen pénze.

Most Mrs Harrison besétál a nappaliba. Mit visz a kezében? Egy tálcát visz a kezében. Mi

van a tálcán? Két csésze kávé van - egy Arthur-nak és egy Mrs Harisonnak.

Most a kávé Arthur székének a karfáján van, de nem issza. Arthur alszik. Éppen álmodik.

Miről álmodik? Mary-ről álmodik.

Álmában Arthurnak van autója. Nem Bruce vezeti az autót; hanem Arthur. Arthur vezeti

az autót és Mary Arthur mellett ül. A lány nem Bruce mellett ül. Arthur és Mary éppen

együtt mennek a tengerpartra. Most éppen nem esik. A nap süt és a madarak pedig

énekelnek. Ez egy gyönyörű nap és Arthur boldog.

Most Arthur és Mary fekszenek a tengerparti strandon. Arthur egy úszónadrágot visel,

Mary pedig egy bikinit. Mary éppen fagyit eszik, és Arthur pedig egy cigarettát szív. Nem

Bruce fekszik a strandon Mary-vel; hanem Arthur.

***

- Nézd azt a sok embert, Mary. Úsznak a tengerben. Ez egy gyönyörű nap.

- Igen, ez egy szép nap. A víz meleg, a nap süt és én meg nagyon boldog vagyok.

- Én is boldog vagyok, Mary. Együtt vagyunk és fekszünk ezen a gyönyörű strandon.

- Itt van nálam a rádió, Arthur.

- Jó, kapcsold be.

- … és a következő képeslap Arthur Newton-tól jött, Middlefordból, a Gladstone Fasor 21-

ből, szóval most ezt a felvételt Arthur-nak és Mary Stephens-nek játszuk. Arthur és Mary

könyvtárosok Middlefordban. Boldog napokat, Arthur-nak és Mary-nek …

- Hallgasd, Mary, a mi dalunkat játsszák.

- Óh, Arthur, édes vagy … Oh, nézd, néhány gyerek éppen krikettezik ott a homokon a

tenger mellett.

- Oh, igen. Az a vörös hajú fiú most nagyon erősen megüti a labdát. Most meg az a szőke

kislány beszalad a tengerbe.

- Jaj, istenem. Nem jön vissza… Jóságos ég! Fuldoklik! És Arthur bemegy!

- Oh, istenem, a Helenem fuldoklik.

- Nem! Nézze, Arthur hozza ki a gyerekét a hátán. Éppen most jön ki a vízből. Rendben

van?

- Igen, jól van. Eszméletlen, de lélegzik.

- Oh, köszönöm, fiatalember.

- Oh, igazán semmiség.

- Nézd, éppen kinyitja a szemét.

- Mami, hol vagyok?

- Most már jó vagy, drágám, hála ennek a fiatalembernek.

- Oh, Arthur, te olyan bátor vagy. Csodálatos barátom van.

- Te is csodálatos vagy, Mary. Csodálatos vagy…

- Tényleg csodálatos vagyok, Arthur? Hát, még a kávémat sem iszod.

- Oh, istenem!

43 elöljárót tartalmazó, 448 szavas összefüggő angol példaszöveg (mellékelt

magyar fordítással), mintegy 86 példával a határozói viszonyok gyakorlására.

Bevezetésnek vegyük sorra a szövegben felhasznált elöljárókat – a lista

természetesen nem tartalmaz(hat) minden elöljárót, és ezen elöljárók minden lehetséges

jelentését sem. Mégis biztos alapot nyújt, ha már ennyit tudunk azokról a „kis szavakról”,

amik malterként tartják össze a szövegek tégláit, vagyis konkrét jelentést hordozó szavait.

Az elöljárók, pontosabban a határozói viszonyok kifejezésének ismerete minden nyelvtudás

egyik alapköve, enélkül még érthető alapszintű nyelvtudásról sem beszélhetünk. Az elöljárók

ismeretében a legalapabb szint az, hogy valamiféle támpontunk legyen ezen nyelvtani elemek

jelentéséről – ez a lista a minimális tudást mutatja be.

A segédigékhez hasonlóan ezt a nyelvtani kategóriát is remekül lehet sorozatpéldákkal

A példaszöveg „tisztán”:

I tell you something about my day. It was full of exciting events.

After I’d got up I looked through the window and I saw the sun shining above the

mountains not far from our town. I went out of my room and stood at the handrail of the

balcony for a while. It was at about 8 o’clock and the weather was as fine as two

monthsago when I visited my best friend in a forest where he owns a small house near a

beautiful lake among several high hills. Between us there is about 10 kilometres and I

couldn’t see the forest he lives in because it is behind some higher mountains. It was fine

and I wantedto do something outside the house – there were many things to do round the

house, forexample I had to replace some tiles on the roof, and to dig the small flower

garden in front of the house, and to remove the weeds along the fence. My

neighbour opposite us told me that the front of our house is really weedy.

I don’t know why he said it to me because the front garden of the house next to us was

weedier than ours. It’s lucky that he can’t see beyond our fence because I haven’t had

timefor our inner garden since the beginning of this summer, but of course I’d like to make

it nice before the school-year begins. It will be in two weeks, and on the 1st (of) September

I want to arrange a garden party for my colleagues together with their families.

Unfortunately, I can’t do it without help, and my family is not always willing to help

me withgardening because they don’t like doing anything inside our fences and outside the

building.

I thought that we would go to my friend’s house. It’s very nice to sit under the trees of his

garden below the beautiful hills.

If we want to get there we have to go across some rivers, down some hills then up some

others, then to turn left before we reach a deep cleft and after that to go into a long

tunnel. By the time we arrive we’ll have had a beautiful trip behind us. By the lake, beside a

small waterfall there is narrow cliff over the water. During our usual meetings we always

walk there – we can get there within a quarter of an hour – and we usually sit

there untilsunset begins – we watch the birds flying towards the setting sun (it’s beautiful!),

and we both say, that it’s really great to be off from the town and in nature.

A példaszöveg – magyarul:

Mesélek neked valamit a napomról. Tele volt izgalmas eseményekkel.

Miután /Azután hogy felkeltem, kinéztem az ablakon és láttam, hogy süt a nap a

várostólnem messze lévő hegyek fölött. Kimentem a szobámból, és megálltam egy

darabig az erkély korlátjánál. Ez kb. 8-kor volt, és az időjárás olyan remek volt, mint 2

hónappal ezelőtt, amikor meglátogattam a legjobb barátomat egy erdőben, ahol van egy kis

háza egy gyönyörű tó mellett, több magas hegy között. Közöttünk van kb. 10 kilométer, és

én nem láttam azt az erdőt, ahol/amiben ő él, mivel az néhány magasabb hegy mögött van.

Remek volt az idő, és én csinálni akartam valamit a házon kívül – sok tennivaló volt a

ház körül, például, ki kell cserélnem néhány cserepet a tetőn és felásni a kis virágoskertet a

ház előtt, és eltávolítani a gyomokat/gazt a kerítés mentén. A velünk szemben lévő

szomszédunk mondta nekem, hogy a házunk eleje igazán gazos.

Nem tudom, hogy miért mondta ezt nekem, mert a mellettünk lévő háznak

az előkertjesokkal gazosabb volt, mint a miénk / a miénknél. Szerencse, hogy nem

lát át/túl a kerítésünkön, mert a nyár eleje óta nem volt időm a belsőkertünkre, persze

szeretném azt is megszépíteni még mielőtt a tanév elkezdődik. Ez két hét múlva lesz, és

szeptember 1.-énrendezni akarok egy kerti partit a kollégáimnak a családjaikkal együtt.

Sajnos, ezt nem tudom megcsinálni segítség nélkül, és a családom pedig nem mindig

hajlandó segíteninekem a kertészkedésben, mivel nem szeretnek csinálni semmit sem a

kerítésen belül és az épületen kívül.

Arra gondoltam, hogy majd elmegyünk a barátom házához. Nagyon kellemes a gyönyörű

hegyek alatt lévő kertjének a fái alatt üldögélni.

Ha oda akarunk jutni, át kell menünk néhány folyón, le néhány hegyen, aztán fel néhány

másikon, aztán balra fordulni mielőtt elérnénk a mély szakadékot, és azután pedig be egy

hosszú alagútba. Mire odaérünk, már egy gyönyörű kirándulás lesz mögöttünk. A tónál, egy

kis vízesés mellett van egy keskeny szikla a víz fölött. A szokásos találkozásaink ideje

alattmindig elsétálunk oda – negyedóra alatt odaérünk – és rendszerint ott

üldögélünk amíg a naplemente el nem kezdődik – nézzük a madarakat, ahogy repülnek a

lenyugvó napirányába (az valami gyönyörű!), és mindketten azt mondjuk, hogy igazán

nagyszerű dologkiszakadni a városból és a természetben lenni.

KÉRDEZÉS MÓDJA AZ ANGOLBAN

2013.05.29. 01:54 aforizmágus

A kérdő mondatokat nem az állító mondatok

változataiként, hanem önálló kommunikációs egységekként kell megtanulni. Jelen

munkámban 5 kérdésképzési lehetőséget nézünk át, a lehető legtömörebben.

A vizsgált kérdéstípusok:

1. Yes/No = Igen/Nem – Eldöntendő kérdés

1.2. Több alternatívás Y/N kérdés

2. Wh-? – Kérdőszavas kérdések

2.1. Az alanyra való rákérdezés

2.2. A főigére való rákérdezés

2.3. A tárgyra való rákérdezés

2.4. A határozókra való rákérdezés

2.4.1. Időhatározóra való rákérdezés

2.4.2. Helyhatározóra való rákérdezés

2.4.3. Módhatározóra való rákérdezés

2.4.4. Célhatározóra való rákérdezés

3. Utókérdés

4. Hangsúlyos – Állító és tagadó mondatok kérdő hangsúllyal

A kérdésképzés csak a Segédige és az Alany szórendjének, valamint a

helyes kérdőszókiválasztásának a dolga. (Természetesen arra is oda kell figyelni, hogy az

elöljárók hová kerüljenek)

*** *** ***

A leírásokban használt rövidítések:

A = alany

Si = segédige

Fi = főige

T = tárgy

H = határozó

Si+n’t = segédige összevonva a ’not’ tagadószó hiányos alakjával, pl. is not = isn’t; are not =

aren’t

WH- = kérdőszavak: what, who, which, when, where, whose, why, how

sg = something = valami

sy = somebody = valaki

***

1. YES/NO-QUESTIONS?

ELDÖNTENDŐ KÉRDÉSEK

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+Fi+T+H

Eldöntendő kérdés szórendje:

Segédieg+Alany+Főige

Si+A+Fi

Rövid válasz adása:

- Yes, A (névmás formában) + Si(teljes alakjában, mivel itt hangsúlyos).

- No, A (névmás formában) + Si+n't.

1.2. TÖBB ALTERNATÍVÁS Y/N-KÉRDÉS

Si+A+Fi and / or Si+A+Fi?

Erre a kérdésre nem lehet egyszerű „Yes” vagy „No” választ adni, hanem a megfelelő

alternatívát kell válaszként adni, esetleg, ha egyik sem felel meg nekünk, akkor azt

mondhatjuk: Neither (of them). Vagy, kettőnél több alternatívánál: None (of them).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------

2. WH-QUESTIONS

KÉRDŐSZAVAS KÉRDÉSEK

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+Fi+T+H

A Kérdőszavas kérdésből mindig az a mondatrész hiányzik, amire a Kérdőszó rákérdez.

Ezekkel a következőkben részletesen foglalkozunk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------

2.1. Az Alanyra való rákérdezés:

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+Fi+T+H

WHO

WHO OF .....

WHOSE

WHOSE .....

WHAT

WHAT ....

WHICH

WHICH .....

WHICH OF ...

HOW MANY ....

Si

Fi

T

H ?

Az Alanyra való rákérdezésnél az egyenes szórend megmarad.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2. A FŐIGÉRE VALÓ RÁKÉRDEZÉS:

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+Fi+T+H

A Főigére általában a DO ige megfelelő alakjával kérdezünk:

What Si A Do (with sg)?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------

2.3. A TÁRGYRA VALÓ RÁKÉRDEZÉS:

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A mondat tárgyára való rákérdezés szerkezetei:

Who

Whose

Whose ....

What

What ....

Which

Si

A

Fi (elöljáró)

H

Which ....

How many..

A Tárgy+elöljáró, vagy Főige+elöljáró

Elöljárós tárgynál az elöljáró a kérdésben az ige után áll, nem pedig a kérdőszó előtt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------

2.4. A HATÁROZÓRA VALÓ RÁKÉRDEZÉS

A kérdőszó a határozó típusának megfelelő kell, hogy legyen.

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+Fi+T+H

A határozóra való rákérdezés szerkezete:

Megfelelő Határozó-Kérdőszó+Si+Fi+T?

2.4.1. IDŐHATÁROZÓRA VALÓ RÁKÉRDEZÉS

When

What time

Which season

How often

How many times

Which day

A+Si+Fi+T+H

A célhatározóra való rákérdezés szerkezetei:

Why Si A Fi T H ?

What for ?

3. UTÓKÉRDÉS – „UGYE (NEM)…?”

Az utókérdés minden tankönyvben szerepel, a magyarban a (tag)mondat elejére vagy végére

illesztett „ugye (nem)” szócskával képezzük. Ezzel az egyszerű módszerrel az állító és tagadó

mondatokból tudunk kérdő mondatot képezni. Az alapszerkezet sokféle árnyalatának

ismertetését mellőzöm, az alapszerkezetet mutatom be, és egy egyszerű, általánosan

használható változatát.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.1. UTÓKÉRDÉS ÁLLÍTÓ MONDATOK UTÁN.

Állító mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+Fi+T+H

Az utókérdésben az alapmondatunk segédigéjét tagadó formában, és alanyának névmással

helyettesített formáját ismételjük meg, fordított szórenddel.

Alany+Segédige+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó, segédige+NOT + Alany (névmási megfelelőjével)

A+Si+Fi+T+H, Si+n’t+A?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2. UTÓKÉRDÉS TAGADÓ MONDATOK UTÁN.

Tagadó mondat szórendje:

Alany+Segédige+NOT+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó

A+Si+NOT+Fi+T+H

Az utókérdésben az alapmondatunk segédigéjét NOT nélkül, és alanyának névmással

helyettesített formáját ismételjük meg, fordított szórenddel.

Alany+Segédige+NOT+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó, segédige + Alany (névmási megfelelőjével)

A+Si+NOT+Fi+T+H, Si+A?

A szabályos utókérdés gyakorlására egyszerű állító és tagadó mondatokból álló példamondat

sorok remekül alkalmasak – egyszerűen csak mindegyikhez megfelelő utókérdést kell

szerkeszteni.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

3.3. AZ UTÓKÉRDÉSEK PRAKTIKUS EGYSZERŰSÍTÉSE

„…, RIGHT?” SZERKEZETTEL.

Az angol utókérdés szerkesztése a magyarok számára bonyolult műveletnek tűnhet, mivel a

magyarban egy puszta szó mondatba illesztésével, és nem pedig nyelvtani transzformációkkal

oldjuk meg. Valójában az angol megoldás is egyszerű, mivel az alapmondat saját elemeit

használja fel, plusz szó bevonása nélkül.

Az eredeti angol írású tankönyvek általában nem hívják fel a figyelmet egy egyszerű

megoldásra, bár jómagam az eddigi 20 éves, több tucatnyi tankönyvsorozattal való munkám

során egyszer(!) már láttam ezt leírva egy tankönyvi dialógusban.

A megoldás a magyar (vagy német) mintát követi – egy egyszerű visszaigazolást váró

szavacskát (… RIGHT? – …, IGAZ? / …, ÍGY VAN?) illeszt a mondat végére.

Ezzel a módszerrel „megspórolhatjuk” a bonyolultnak látszó nyelvtani szerkesztgetési

manővert mind az állító, mint a tagadó mondatok után.

A mondatok szerkezet tehát:

Alany+Segédige+(NOT)+Főige+Tárgy+Határozó, RIGHT?

A+Si+(NOT)+Fi+T+H, RIGHT?

*** *** *** *** ***

4. HANGSÚLYOS KÉRDÉSEK –

ÁLLÍTÓ ÉS TAGADÓ MONDATOK KÉRDŐ HANGSÚLLYAL

Mivel az angolban a kérdéseket általában külön szórendi szerkesztéssel formázzák meg, ezért

gyakorta előfordul, hogy a hanglejtés alapján nem sokban különbözik egy állító vagy egy

mondattól. A kérdő mondatokra jellemző hanglejtést azonban az angolok is elsősorban

kérdésként értelmezik, vagyis számukra a beszédben a hanglejtés fontosabb útbaigazító egy

mondat értelmezésekor, mint a mondat szerkezete. Ha állító, vagy tagadó mondatot kérdő

hangsúllyal mondunk ki, akkor azt „annak rendje és módja szerint” kérdésként fogják

értelmezni. Korlátozott mértékben ez írásban is működik, persze erősen az adott szituáció

függvényében.

A hétköznapi életben az utókérdéshez hasonló, megerősítést váró vagy meglepődést kifejező

kérdésekben ez teljesen megszokott jelenség. Azoktól hallva, akiknek a nyelvhasználatából

egyértelműen kitűnik, hogy nem gyakorlott használói a nyelvnek, ezt teljesen természetesnek

veszik, és minden probléma nélkül úgy értelmezik, ahogy az illető nyelvhasználó eredetileg

szándékozta. A huzamosabb gyakorlás amúgy is rászoktatja az embert az anyanyelvi beszélők

nyelvhasználatához való igazodásra, vagyis a (nyelvtanilag is) „helyes” nyelvhasználatra.

(A kérdésképzés tanulásának PLC szemléletét és módszereit egy külön anyagban

ismertetem.)

Segédeszköz a kérdőmondatok szabályos képzésének gyakorlásához

A kérdő mondatok szabályos képzésének gyakorlására praktikus segédeszközként

használható a következő egyszerű táblázat, amely néhány mozdulattal megrajzolható, majd a

kívánt kérdéstípus elemeinek beírásával sorozatban gyakorolható. Hatásosan gyakorolható

még új szókincs begyakorlására is.

Egy adott szövegből a kérdések elemzésére is felhasználható, és amennyiben a kérdés nem

kategorizálható, akkor azok külön gyakorlás tárgyai, alapjai is lehetnek.

71 kiejtésileg igen problémás angol szó 2013.05.28. 01:02 aforizmágus

Nyelvtanári tapasztalataim alapján állítottam

össze ezt a listát. A kezdőkkel ezt szoktam gyakoroltatni, és megkapják a listát is – továbbá a

haladókkal is ezt szoktam annak vizsgálatára használni, hogy megállapítsam, hogy mennyire jó és

pontos a kiejtésük.

Ha ezeket jól ejtik ki, és odafigyelnek ezek kiejtésére, akkor a kiejtésükkel nem lehet gond!

A kiejtést az egyszerűség kedvéért magyaros átírással írtam le – ha a kiejtés az adott leírásnak

megfelel, akkor már az érthetőségi kritériumoknak is megfelel!

Némi pontosítás:

(D) – zöngés –th- kiejtése, kb. a d, hehezettel ejtve

(SZ) – zöngétlen –th- kiejtése – pösze sz

(W) – u-ból induló hang, ami átmegy a következő hangba

(å) – olyan, mint a magyar á, csak éppen röviden ejtve, ezért van pont, és nem ékezet az a-n

13. ... a little black cloud had suddenly blotted out ( to cover or hide something

completely ) the sun.

14. They certainly look pretty chummy. ( friendly )

15. Lani quickly got her thoughts together and gave her opinion.

16. Welcome aboard, Lani !

17. ... he had given them a pep talk, urging the debaters to do their best

18. Around noon, the brilliant blue sky suddenly clouded over, and within moments

rain began pouring down.

19. Lani's father wouldn't be able to come by for her until at least five o clock.

20. Could you come pick me up at three ?

21. I live in Manoa, I hope that's not far out of your way.

22. How much farther is your house ?

23. I don't take criticism very well, I'm afraid.

24. ... do you think you could give me a few pointers ?

25. ... the very idea of reciting the pieces from memory gave her the chills.

26. Do I detect a note of skepticism there ?

27. .. are you in the phone book under Marshall or under Gorgeous ?

28. ... he went off on this tangent about turning the homeless into chefs ...

29. Sam's such a flake.

30. ... but sometimes I wish I'd lighten up and have some fun for a change.

31. It's about time you made a move on him, Lani.

32. ... many couples are lounging on ( to stand or sit in a lazy way ) the grass,

enjoying the beautiful day and each other's company.

33. Sometimes you have to go out on a limb ( take a risk ) and hammer a point

home.

34. .. there's no reason you and Amy can't win at affirmative.

35. I'll be happy to work with you again whenever you like, just say the word.

36. Has he asked you on a date yet ?

37. .... if he doesn't care about me, I'd absolutely die of embarrassment.

38. I'll be hitching a ride with ( to ask for a free ride from the drivers of passing

cars by putting your hand out with your thumb raised ) you guys ....

39. Lani was spooning up her French chocolate ice cream with .....

40. Chase never took cheap shots (=an unnecessarily rude remark) at the

opposing team or the judges.

41. I've been bending your ear ( to talk to someone, especially about something

that is worrying you ) about the tournament ever since we got here.

42. I do have other interests.

43. Everybody says you are excellent on the soccer field.

44. That's what I had in mind. Think you can stand it.

45. I laughed so hard, I almost fell out of my seat.

46. We're good friends, that's all.

47. .... he seemed unsure of himself, almost at a loss for words ......

48. Mr. crowell told Lani at great length about growing up on his family's sugar

plantation.

49. He can be pretty long-winded sometimes.

50. Lighten up, Chase. You may be my debate team captain, but you are not my

tennis coach, you know.

51. .... my Dad's birthday is next month ......

52. I have to get some stuff for my sisters, and I could use some feminine input.

53. Then maybe we could grab a bite to eat and take in a movie or something.

54. Listen, Darce. Do you think I'm fickle.

55. .... you are thinking about ditching him for that nutcase ?

56. Sometimes I feel like I'll never be able to measure up to his expectations.

57. .... if you decide to give up on Chase, I'm next in line.

58. It wasn't just her surroundings that were different.

59. Mealani and I need to make some adjustments on our negative case.

60. I understand you and Amy really cut them down to size ( to make someone

realize that they are not as important, successful etc as they think they are ) this

morning

61. Unless you're otherwise occupied, want to go have a pan pizza with the enemy.

62. All our tables are oceanfront, sir !

63. ... she always likes to go there early and set up.

64. I'm an old hand at this sort of thing. In fact, I kind of like the last-minute

approach.

65. .... if this tournament is to proceed on schedule, it is essential that everyone

show up on time.

66. We were all totally stressed out --- we thought something awful must have

happened to you. Mrs. Nakamoto was worried sick, and Chase is practically

abasket case. ( someone who is so nervous or anxious that they cannot deal

with simple situations )

67. Lani was on automatic pilot most of the time,

68. Don't you ever pull another stunt like that, you almost gave me heart failure.

69. She never should have let herself caught up in Sam's comedy routine ....

70. Want to play some tennis this evening ? ........ I really could use a workout.

71. I haven't been to one of those in a long time.

72. ... we are about the same size.

73. By the time they returned to Lani's house, the sun had set.

74. ... he's getting all intense and serious again.

75. .... she was seething with irritation inside.

76. I wouldn't have beaten you so badly, though, if you'd been in top form.

77. Then he started picking my game apart shot by shot, and pretty soon I was

sorattled that I couldn't do anything right.

78. ..... the following week were agonizing for Lani.

79. ... she and Chase were polite but distant to each other.

80. But even if I made a play for ( to make an attempt to gain something ) him , it

probably wouldn't do any good. In my opinion, he is still hung up on you

81. If he thinks she's so perfect and I'm such a mess, then all I can say is, she's

welcome to him.

82. Chase was the boy of her dreams, that their relationship would only grow and

deepen with time.

83. I'm glad you are not the kind of girl who holds a grudge.

84. I can tell from the look on your face that you don't approve of my philosophy.

85. The first one was dismal, but I'm pretty sure we aced the second one.

86. I struck out ( failed ) twice in a row.

87. .... they all know I have my on days and off days.

88. It was a gutsy move on your part to change your case at the last minute, ...

89. I'm the one who was crazy for acting the way I did, ...

90. These past couple of months have been the worst of my whole life.

91. Kate had been working nonstop on this project for a year and a half.

92. When the music started to play, Kate eased down the volume.

93. .... two's company and three's a crowd.

94. .... I just wanted to find out what I was up against. ( to have to deal with a

difficult situation or fight an opponent )

95. .... This is no time for socializing.

96. Sorry Mr. Perry, we're just taking a breather.

97. Everything will be in working order by tomorrow morning.

98. Have you been waiting long ?

99. But next week the station would be up and running. ( if a new system or

process is up and running, it is working properly )

100. ... the excitement in the room was at fever pitch.

101. ... we'll rotate in order to give shifts to as many of you as possible.

102. Flushed with embarrassment at her dismal performance, .....

103. You stumbled a little, but I could tell how nervous you were.

104. They had laid a trap, and she had fallen right into it.

105. You two sure look pretty cozy.

106. Eric didn't look as if he was in any hurry to leave.

107. Kate : Is Mr. Perry here, by any chance ?

108. Eric : He's at lunch.

109. Almost before Kate knew it, her hour was up.

110. After school, still tingling from the thrill of her success .....

111. Kate : How soon do you think we could get the phone.

112. Eric : Next week, with any luck. I'll check with the principal first thing

tomorrow morning.

113. I thought I was going to have to hitchhike home.

114. No, I probably wouldn't have the nerve.

115. Those are beyond sappy. They'd make me lose my lunch if I'd eaten any.

116. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

117. I'm not really into that mushy stuff.

118. I'm sorry, I snapped at you.

119. Between the two of us, we'll have this mess straightened out in no time.

120. Kate : Or are you so cynical because you've been dumped.

121. Eric : Bite your tongue. What girl in her right mind would dump lovable old me.

122. I really want to know where you learned all that stuff.

123. Kate's mind suddenly clicked into high gear.

124. ... she hoped she could talk him into pulling some strings and getting her

into KZRP.

125. Where are you off to in such a hurry ?

126. I'm going to catch a ride home with Cheri .....

127. I didn't think football was your thing.

128. I've modeled my deejay style on his.

129. That would be really great, if you can set it up ..........

130. I have an appointment with him for two o'clock.

131. Did Jake sound a little bit patronizing ? ( someone who is patronizing talks to

you as if they think you are less intelligent or important than them )

132. I'm gonna grab a cup of coffee, want anything ?

133. Gotta start cranking out the tunes.

134. That's not even close to being Dadlike, ......

135. ... you know as well as I do that nothing will come of it, ....

136. Now I guess you want me to set you up on a date with him.

137. I wonder if I'll ever be able to figure him out.

138. Don't these guys have any pride ?

139. At first, I thought there was something familiar about his voice, but I can't put

together with a face .........

140. He's always making goo-goo eyes ( a silly look that shows you love someone

)at you in class.

141. He's just probably holding off because he knows you'll be climbing the walls

wondering who he is

142. Then as we eliminate each of them, we'll strike his name off the list.

143. Andy is short for Andrew.

144. Are you still on that kick ?

145. Okay, okay ! Your sad story wrings my heart. Where do you live ?

146. Math and I just don't mix.

147. He must think I am a total nut.

148. Startled, Kate slammed on the brakes. ( to make a car stop very suddenly )

149. If you're so nuts about Jake, chase him yourself, but leave me out of it.

150. Eric : Maybe we ought to call it a day. Want to catch a movie.

151. Kate : That sounds like fun. What's playing ?

152. Starved ! I worked up quite an appetite ( work up an appetite/thirst to

make yourself hungry or thirsty, especially by doing physical exercise or waiting a

long time before you eat or drink ) chasing you all over the field.

153. My life is a complete and utter disaster.

154. You're the one who got me into this mess with Alan.

155. ..... get on the line and give me a call.

156. Alan found a parking place in the lot.

157. I guess I kind of overdid the cheering bit.

158. To take her mind off her troubles ...........

159. We'll be finished in plenty of time.

160. Boy, that was some speech. When is this assembly ?

161. I'll meet you by the car.

162. That's way out of my price range.

163. I'm no good at saying things like that in person, so I thought I'd disguise my

voice and try it out over the phone.

164. Did you really mean what you said when you called the Love Line all those

times.

165. ... we became instant best friends.

166. Now we were sixteen, and our friendship never wavered.

167. .... the rest of the year we kept in touch with long letters and even longer

phone calls.

168. No sense getting him all upset .......

169. He was well-mannered, and real polite.

170. I sure didn't see that side of him.

171. I'd meet her at the pool over an hour ago! I'd better make tracks.

172. Maybe he didn't mean to be rude. Maybe what he said just came out that

way.

173. My wet hair was hanging in my eyes ..........

174. ... we aren't even remotely related.

175. Right then and there I should have set him straight and cleared up the

misunderstanding, ........

176. I simply can't understand how my two best friends could have gotten off on

the wrong foot like this.

177. He's not stuck-up at all ......... considering who his father is.

178. I thought they only did that back in the olden days.

179. You really ought to dress up more often, Lexie.

180. Samantha : Would you like me to make you up ?

181. Lexie : No, I'll do it myself.

182. Ms. Tucker. Are you holding up the wall, or doesn't anybody here come up to

183. Lexie : No, I'll do it myself.

184. Ms. Tucker. Are you holding up the wall, or doesn't anybody here come up

toyour high standards ?

185. Can't a guy even have a conversation with you without having his head bitten

off ? ( to answer someone or speak to them very angrily, when there is no good

reason for doing this )

186. Like I said before, this isn't really my scene.

187. I feel it's my duty to enlighten you.

188. This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever done.

189. I was so freaked that I didn't stop to find out.

190. Max isn't sure how to act around you, and he gets flustered and ends up

doing something stupid or clumsy.

191. I can't disappoint him by backing out.

192. Did I hear about my name being taken in vain ? ( to talk about someone,

while they are not there, especially in a way that shows a lack of respect for them )

193. Max : Thomas wants to talk to you.

194. Samantha : What about ?

195. What mischief are you up to today ?

196. Can you blame him after you've been so nasty ?

197. Deep down inside, I bet you'd like to get along with him.

198. The face is familiar but I can't place the name.

199. I can have one of the boys saddle up a horse for you in a jiffy. ( very soon )

200. I can pay double your usual hourly rate.

201. We have tents and air mattresses, all the comforts of home.

202. The last thing I need is another run-in ( an argument or disagreement,

especially with someone in an official position ) with Max.

203. It was too good an offer to pass up.

204. Please don't let on I work here, okay ?

205. Funny, he doesn't strike me as that type.

206. ...... tucked it into my shirt pocket .........

207. Around one o'clock, I found a clearing in the woods that looked perfect for a

picnic.

208. Max tied the horses to some trees.

209. Well, you haven't said a civil word to me since we met, and you avoid me like

I've got the plague or omething.

210. You've never taken the time to find out.

211. Let's not go any further with this, okay. We'll just get into another argument.

212. By my calculations, we would reach out campsite by five o'clock.

213. This is all your fault. Why didn't you say something.

214. Don't worry about a thing.

215. It's clouding over. Looks like it might rain.

216. I strained my eyes and ears, trying to catch a glimpse of the creek or hear the

sound of running water

217. Even though it was still very early, the heavy clouds made it seem like

midnight.

218. Hoping to raise their spirits, I said brightly ..........

219. When I awoke the next morning, the boys and girls are still sound asleep.

220. I thought the kids ought to have something hot in their stomachs to start the

day.

221. A day ago I would have bristled at his question, thinking he was doubting my

competence.

222. Max followed me out of the office.

223. You might just sweep him off his feet.( sweep sb off their feet to make

someone feel suddenly and strongly attracted to you in a romantic way )

224. His business takes him all over, so we're never in any one place for long.

225. My responses sounded awfully lame to me, but Max didn't seem to notice

anything amiss.

226. All that moving around must be tough for you.

227. Will you please stop being so negative ? Quit overanalyzing everything.

228. You can sleep over at my cabin afterward, there's plenty of room.

229. Did I really want to chance it and set myself up for heartbreak ?

230. It never could have worked out for Max and me.

231. We made a date to go riding together at one o'clock.

232. Sam got into the other bed, and turned out the light.

233. This whole thing was getting more complicated by the minute.

234. I have to get back by two-thirty.

235. There was no way I'd be able to avoid him, and unless I could brazen it

out, ( to deal with a situation that is difficult or embarrassing for you by appearing

to be confident rather than ashamed ) he'd blow my cover for sure.

236. Well, you've been acting kind of weird all of a sudden.

237. I forced another fake laugh.

238. I blinked in disbelief.

239. You've lucked out so far, but Max is bound to learn the truth sooner or later.

240. Well, I must be off now. I expect we'll be seeing quite a bit of each other,

Samantha.

241. They're two of a kind, the perfect couple.

242. ... I am not rich and I work with my hands.

243. I've known all along.

244. ... she has a serious boyfriend over in England.

245. Aren't you being a bit melodramatic ( behaving or talking in an excited way

with strong emotion ), Tess ?

246. This great deal just fell in our laps.

247. My whole life is just wrecked.

248. I hope they feel guilty as anything !

249. She was in quite a state herself, finishing her current novel, trying .....

250. I liked looking at pretty scenery on vacation, but I had no desire to live out in

the sticks. [ (out) in the sticks very far from a town or city ]

251. I loved being so close to Chicago. ... a world of movers and shakers. I

doubted there was any moving and shaking going on in Blossom Creek.

252. But all that evening, I had a sinking feeling.

253. Aren't you going to get over this funk ( in a (blue) funk very unhappy,

worried, or afraid about something ) you're in ?

254. I managed a feeble smile.

255. ... it did have a few signs of civilisation .....

256. Mom was holed up in her upstairs study, typing away on her computer at

frenzied pace.

257. I'm sorry if I'm trespassing.

258. From the way you talk, I can tell you are not from around here.

259. There's no problem with this stuff --- it's just the usual red tape.

260. These locks are pretty old, and sometimes they get fouled up.

261. Looks like it's stuck.

262. I yanked again, but it still wouldn't budge.

263. Don't mind him, Luke has a grudge against the world.

264. He was tall and very well built, ............

265. ... when she caught my eye, she motioned for me to join them.

266. He's so stuck on himself, it's sickening.

267. " Oh, lay off, Carter, " , there is nothing wrong with Luke.

268. When I turned back to the table, I saw Dawn regarding me with a wistful

expression.

269. I'd just love it if Carter showed some interest in me.

270. The Stoddards have always been hard up, and now with Luke's father gone it's

even worse.

271. He's got an awful lot on his mind, and he works real hard.

272. I am sorry I tripped you this morning.

273. I'm sorry I was so rude and all.

274. He was giving me such an unmistakably flirtatious look that I felt

myselfblushing.

275. ... as Mr. Cassin accompanied me on the piano, I sang ......

276. I think she looks a little green, don't you ?

277. Who was that grim-looking character ( a person of a particular kind ), Tess ?

278. ... he's always been serious, like he's got all the worries of the world on his

shoulders.

279. I began to read and soon got caught up in the story.

280. On the off chance that somebody might hear, I started yelling ....

281. It tickles Sammy ! Cut it out.

282. He helped me to my feet --- actually my foot.

283. ... he was wearing sweats and running shoes ..........

284. It's a bad sprain, but nothing appears to be broken.

285. Just to be on the safe side, though, I'm going to take an X-ray in case she or

I missed something.

286. She took his death pretty hard.

287. It caused quite an uproar.

288. I would have to stay off that foot for a few days.

289. Well then, what did happen ? An old football injury act up ?

290. Folks around here know, she has more than a few screws loose.

291. That was more than twenty five years ago, she ought to be over it by now.

292. Don't get all riled up, Tess. You don't have to fly into a passion about it

293. But if you do get into a passion, why don't you get into one with me, not at

me ?

294. Usually when a guy says a girl is nice, he means she's boring, or a goody-

goody.

295. Oh, Luke just made this crack and it broke me up.

296. As for Carly, she continued to give me dirty looks in chorus, so I kept out of

her way as much as possible.

297. You can't eat it raw because it's sour as anything.

298. You know, that first day I met you, you give me quite a start being up in

Billy's old tree house.

299. Carter had made a major effort to get on my good side again ......

300. C'mon, you've never ridden my wheels before.

301. That was really juvenile, Carter ! I said in disgust.

302. Well, it would've been a nice gesture.

303. As I pulled up to the station ........

304. He'd probably appreciate having someone to help him catch up on things.

305. That would be real neighborly of you.

306. I am just irked at my brother for not ..... telling me.

307. It is real nice of you to go to this trouble and all.

308. My little sister got sick and Mom couldn't take off work.

309. Sorry I forgot to give Luke your message.

310. I don't want to pressure you or anything.

311. Luke Stoddard certainly was full of surprises, not to mention talent.

312. Mom and Dad were instantly on the alert and began the usual

parentalinquisition. ( a series of questions that someone asks you in a threatening or

unpleasant way )

313. After a while they let up on me.

314. What if our voices didn't blend well ?

315. Luke's old pickup truck pulled up into the drive. ( the area or road between

your house and the street )

316. My throat's starting to get a little scratchy.

317. Luke's lips were just a breath away from mine.

318. I completely lost track of time. I guess we'd better start back.

319. What a rotten end to what had been such a promising afternoon.

320. Tess : The Stoddard boy's quite the musician.

321. Luke : She is right ! The kid is a chip off the old block. ( to be very similar to

your mother or father in appearance or character )

322. I regarded him in frustration.

323. Carter, on the other hand, was obviously trying to heat things up.

324. ... her friends would think it was unsophisticated and definitely uncool.

325. I pitied whoever would have to clean up after the party.

326. This is my party and I don't want you fouling it up.

327. Carter : Here, buddy --- you get to drive. Tess and I will take the backseat.

328. Luke : I wasn't too pleased with this setup, either.

329. .... put the truck in reverse and backed out of the parking space ......

330. There was a tense, awkward silence as we rode along.

331. I was having a rotten time, too.

332. Carter : Sorry Tess, I have been talking your ear off.

333. Tess : I don't mind. It is about time you let it all out.

334. I figured they would wise up sooner or later.

335. I've just got a bad case of the jitters.

336. She doesn't look one bit jittery.

337. Luke and I waited while one act after another took the stage.

338. The minute we began to sing, I lost my stage fright.

339. I'd hang on to him if I was you.

340. Then he kissed very sweetly on the lips.

341. Katie shook her head in mock despair. ( despair that you pretend to feel )

342. I've spent most of the day slaving at my computer in the nice, cool den, and

I'm beat.

343. My car is parked in the driveway.

344. Katie stalked away, hoping she appeared cool and calm in spite of the fact that

she was seething inside.

345. You know that we leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow.

346. I'll call just as soon as we get settled in our new house.

347. ... her parents went through a kind of messy divorce, ......

348. Willie idolized his father and brother, and in his eyes they could do no wrong.

349. ...... so he could become tough in mind and body.

350. Somehow I can't picture you as a lawyer.

351. Won't that get you home rather late.

352. .... she had asked her mother why he was so strict with her.

353. Willie and I can clear the table tonight. Why don't you go get ready for your

date.

354. I'll be home around twelve or so.

355. A friend of mine, a very terrific friend, is moving here in a few days.

356. .... maybe we could set her up with your friend Rick ....

357. Occasionally, Katie did a brief spot covering the latest fads and fashions ....

358. We stopped at Joe's for a hamburger after the party and it was mobbed.

359. If you're drifting around somewhere on Cloud Nine, we don't stand a chance

of beating those JC girls.

360. This is just like old times.

361. Remember how we used to pig out in Berlin before we went out searching for

.....

362. This ugly duckling became a swan because ....... who couldn't stand the sight

of her, so she made some changes.

363. .......but I was pretty awful there for a while.

364. Mr. Hadley was a real dreamboat, remember Katie ?

365. Wow, wait til the kids at school take a load of that.

366. Oh, I was going with a French boy in Paris for a while, but I ditched him when I

found out he was seeing somebody else on the side.

367. Think you could update me on the garbage I missed while I was away.

368. That Friday evening, Katie and Scott double-dated with Melissa and Rick.

369. I've heard a lot about you, Melissa, but nothing I've heard does you justice.

370. .... he'd be very happy if I took over his practice some day

371. You looked so pretty in that white western outfit.

372. It doesn't mean a thing. Don't be paranoid.

373. Over the next two weeks, Katie saw very little of Melissa ..........

374. Katie decided to find out why Melissa had dropped Rick like a hot potato.
