• Chairperson: Ladies and gentlemen, let’s start our
meeting. As you know, the purpose of this meeting is
to discuss the potential market of our new product,
I’d like to hear your voice. Mr. Johnson, please.
• Mr. Johnson: Frankly speaking, I don’t think we’ve
done enough market research. We must take all
possible factors into account, such as quality, pricing,
and so on. Now, it’s hard to say anything definite
yet.
• Chairperson: Ms. Jones, what do you think?
• Ms. Jones:
I’m afraid I can’t agree with Mr.
Johnson. Although we have to go into all this a bit
more thoroughly, we still can see a great potential
market for our new product.
• Chairperson: Black, what’s your idea?
• Mr. Black: Well, we could talk to some selected
customers and show them the samples. Then
back we can
get some real responses from the market.
The script for the dialogue
• Chairperson:
Good
idea.
The
Marketing
Department should immediately carry out the plan
and prepare a report for the next meeting. Ms.
Jones, can you do that?
• Ms. Jones: No problem.
• Chairperson: Now, is there any other business? If
not, I declare the meeting adjourned.

difficult sentences
• (Para. 1) His name is plastered on the green-andyellow lawn-movers that many of you are getting
reacquainted with now that the grass is growing
again.
• 他的名字就贴在黄绿相间的剪草机上；你们许多
人对剪草机越来越熟悉，因为草又长高了。
• In this sentence, now that is used to introduce an
adverbial clause
• Example: Now that John has arrived, we can begin.
back
• (Para. 2) The New England economy turned
gloomy in the mid-1830s, however, spurring
many Vermonters to head west to the
Mississippi Valley.
• 但是，19世纪30年代中期新英格兰地区经
济变得萧条起来，迫使许多佛蒙特州人向
西迁移到密西西比河谷。
• In this sentence, the present participle is used
as an adverbial.
• Example: The siren sounded, indicating that
the air raid was over.
next
• (Para. 2) Deere, his business suffering and his
savings dwindling, decided to join the exodus
in 1836.
• 由于他的生意受影响，而且继续不断下降，
迪尔在1836年决定加入迁徙大军。
• In this sentence, the inserted parallel phrases
suffering and his savings dwindling are
adverbial formed by the structure of “logical
subject + V-ing”
• Example: No further discussion arising, the
meeting was brought to a close.
next
• (Para. 4) The more Deere pondered the situation, the
more convinced he became that a highly polished
steel plow blade-instead of the conventional cast-iron
model-could solve the problem.
• 迪尔越考虑这种情况，就越相信用高度抛光的钢
犁片代替传统的铸铁犁片就能解决这个问题。

customary at the time, he made them in advance and
then rode around the countryside peddling them.
• 他没有按当时的习惯根据定货制做犁杖，而是提
前做好，然后骑着马在乡村叫卖。
• The preposition “instead of” can take the v-ing form
of a verb. The word “as” here is a relative pronoun,
similar to the relative pronoun which in function. The
present participle phrase peddling them is used as an
adverbial to further explain the purpose of riding.
• Example: Instead of going to work, I stayed in bed.
