词汇解析:Family Members

📚 核心家庭成员

1. 父母

Parents (父亲father/母亲mother)
My parents live in Shanghai.

2. 子女

Children (儿子son/女儿daughter)
They have three children.

3. 兄弟姐妹

Siblings (哥哥elder brother/弟弟younger brother/姐姐elder sister/妹妹younger sister)
I have two siblings.

💡 顾老师提示:注意"siblings"只指兄弟姐妹,不包括父母。中文的"兄弟姐妹"在英语中通常需要区分性别和长幼。

🔊 发音指导

重点词汇发音:

/ˈfæməli/ [ˈfæməli] (family)

/ˈpeərənts/ [ˈpeərənts] (parents)

/ˈtʃɪldrən/ [ˈtʃɪldrən] (children)

发音要点:

  • "family"重音在第一个音节,注意"a"发/æ/音
  • "parents"中的"are"发/eə/双元音
  • "children"的"ch"发/tʃ/音,"dren"部分要轻读

💡 顾老师纠音:常见错误:

  • 把"family"读成"饭米粒"(正确:[ˈfæməli]
  • "parents"读成"拍润茨"(正确:[ˈpeərənts]
  • "children"漏掉"d"音(正确:[ˈtʃɪldrən]

🎯 扩展家庭成员

Grandparents (祖父grandfather/祖母grandmother)
My grandparents are over 80 years old.

3. 堂表兄弟姐妹

Cousin (堂/表兄弟姐妹)

文化差异:

  • 英语中不区分"堂"和"表",都用"cousin"
  • "uncle/aunt"可指父母双方的兄弟姊妹及其配偶
  • "nephew"侄子/外甥,"niece"侄女/外甥女

📝 姻亲关系

3. 女婿/媳妇

💡 顾老师提示:所有姻亲关系都使用"-in-law"后缀,如:brother-in-law(姐夫/妹夫/小叔子等),sister-in-law(嫂子/弟媳/大姑子等)

📝 随堂练习

1. 翻译:

"我外婆和两个舅舅住在乡下。"

2. 听录音跟读:

[ˈfæməli] → family members

[ˈkʌzn] → cousin

3. 改错:找出表达错误

学生说:"He is my uncle on father side."(错误:正确应为"father's side")

正确:He is my uncle on my father's side.
