场景标题：A family member who shaped me — 我的祖父（我爷爷和我姥爷都挺喜欢看书写字）

（Part 2 话题卡口吻：Describe a family member who has inspired or influenced you）

外语独白（含中文救场）

"Today I'd like to talk about a family member who has shaped who I am — 嗯，怎么说呢，my grandfather, my ye ye. 对，我爷爷。He is the one who, 让我想想，first opened my eyes to the history of my hometown, Liangzhou."

"What makes him special is his quiet devotion to learning. 他不是教授，but he spent his whole life, 怎么说，collecting and copying old texts about Liangzhou — 就是抄写凉州的古书、方志。I still remember, 小时候，sitting beside him at night, watching him write with a brush, 一笔一划，the room filled with the smell of ink and old paper."

"Let me give you an example of how he influenced me. 有一次，he told me that '凉州之畜为天下饶' — 嗯，这句出自《汉书·地理志》，意思是凉州的牲畜天下最丰饶。He didn't just recite it; 他带我去…… he took me to see the grasslands himself, so the words became, 怎么说，real — 不是死记硬背，而是…… a living memory rather than a line in a book."

"Why do I admire him? 第一，他教我…… he taught me that knowledge isn't something you show off — 学问不是拿来显摆的。Second, his patience — 他抄一本书可以抄几个月，never once complained. 这种…… this kind of quiet persistence is something I try to carry into my own studies, especially now as I prepare for the IELTS exam."

"Anyway, I'd say my grandfather gave me more than knowledge. 他给了我…… he passed on a way of seeing the world — slow, careful, rooted in where I come from. That's why he is the family member I admire most."

语法笔记

• who has shaped who I am — 现在完成时，强调对"现在的我"的持续影响；shape 作动词"塑造"，比 influence 更形象、更显词汇量。

• the one who first opened my eyes to... — open one's eyes to = 让某人认识到/开眼界，固定搭配，接名词或动名词。

• He didn't just recite it; he took me to see... — didn't just... (but) ... 结构，表"不只是……而是……"，是口语提分句式。

• knowledge isn't something you show off — 定语从句 you show off 修饰 something，关系代词省略；show off = 炫耀。

• a way of seeing the world — slow, careful, rooted in... — 三个形容词/分词并列作后置修饰，节奏感强，写作口语都加分。

中式英语易错（CHINGLISH ALERT）

• ❌ my grandfather teaches me a lot of knowledge → ✅ my grandfather taught me a great deal / passed knowledge on to me（teach 不直接接 knowledge 作宾语，常用 teach me a lot / pass on knowledge）

• ❌ I very admire him → ✅ I admire him deeply / a great deal（very 不能直接修饰动词 admire）

• ❌ he very likes reading → ✅ he is very fond of reading / keen on reading

• ❌ learn knowledge from him → ✅ learn from him / gain knowledge from him（knowledge 不与 learn 直接搭配）

同义替换（Part 2/3 加分）

• family member → relative / elder / ancestor（祖辈）

• admire → look up to / hold in high regard / revere

• influence → shape / inspire / have an impact on

• tradition → heritage / custom / practice

今日表达 TOP3

1. open one's eyes to — 让某人开眼界、认识到（比 let sb know 地道，且显词汇）

2. show off — 炫耀（注意：学问不是用来 show off 的，常用于否定语境，记忆点强）

3. pass on knowledge — 传承知识（比 teach knowledge 地道，knowledge 不与 teach 直接搭配）

英文复杂学科短文 + 引导理解（从凉州看世界）

The roots of "heritage" and family knowledge

The word "heritage" comes from Latin hereditas, meaning what is inherited or passed down. It is not just old buildings, but the knowledge, stories, and habits a family carries forward. In Liangzhou, anciently called Wuwei, grandfathers copied old texts and took children to the grasslands so that local history became a living memory. Heritage, then, is something transmitted by hand and by heart, not locked in a museum.

重点词 / 释义

• hereditas / Latin / 继承、传下之物

• inherit / 继承

• lineage / 世系、家族血脉

• transmit / 传递、传承

• rooted / 扎根的（与 root 同源）

词源小知识

• heritage = Latin hereditas（继承物）。祖父抄书、带我看草原，正是把"凉州之畜为天下饶"这类 local heritage 一代代传下来，与 09-04 说的 cultural heritage 同一脉络。

艾宾浩斯复习 · 新旧穿插

复习的本质是主动重复提取：每次从脑中把旧知识拉出来，都在加深记忆痕迹，防止学了就忘，确保考场上能秒提取。

回扣前两周：09-05 交通说旅途像 a living textbook，祖父带我看草原那堂"行走的课"正是同一个道理；09-04 文化说家乡 is of great cultural significance，而祖父传给我的"凉州之畜为天下饶"就是这份 heritage 的活证据。试着用 pass on knowledge 造一句：My grandfather passed on knowledge by taking me to see the grasslands.

词根串联复习 · 同族一起过

（同根成族，旧词加固：heritage、influence 底下的拉丁词根，正是你将来拉丁语的底子。）

• her / heredit = 继承（拉丁 heres / hereditas）

• heritage ★09-06 遗产 · inherit 继承 · hereditary 世袭的 · heir 继承人

• 串联句：We inherit a heritage, and one day we pass it on.

• flu = 流（拉丁 fluere）

• influence ★09-06 影响 · fluent 流利 · fluid 流动 · affluent 富裕 · fluctuate 波动

• 串联句：His influence flows into everything I do; I have become more fluent because of it.

复习动作：用 heritage 和 influence 各造一句，对照串联句。hereditas、fluere 是你将来拉丁语的预习词根。
