Chip was a thoughtful child. In the previous page, he said: "we need lots of money". He had been thinking hard how to raise the money or make the money. That's called the sense of ownership. In this context, he owned the problem, and he owned the solution.
It might be hard to understand what 'ownership' really is. In most contexts, the word 'ownership' means that you have or possess something as your property. For example, you lost your iPhone and someone found it. When you meet the finder to claim the phone, you have to prove your ownership of the phone. Of course, it is easy. As long as you can enter the passcode or scan your fingerprint and get into the device, your ownership is proved and you take the phone back.
However, in some contexts, 'ownership' means 'responsibility'. As an employee, you are expected to take 'ownership' of your work. This means you take the responsibility and/or initiative over the work. You as an individual are responsible for the outcome of your work (quantity, quality, completing the work on time, etc.), not anyone else.
第二个回应的是Wilf,就是黑色卷发的黑人小孩。从他摊开双手的肢体动作,可以判断出他问的问题一定是,“But how?”。意思是说,也许这是个好主意,可是怎么画呢?显然他不认为教室里的任何人有能力画一个巨幅。
面对Wilf的质疑,Chip显然已经是胸有成竹了。每个人画其中的一小部分,不就可以了吗?Bit在这里不完全是一点点的意思。其实它在这里的主要的意思是a small part。
另一个问题是那个校工手里拿着的钩杆子是在做什么。有的同学说他在砍树枝,有的说他在做清洁。都有可能。然而最大的可能,他手里拿的是window control rod。在几十年前的很多建筑里,窗户可以开和关的部分,是位于高处一扇窗,可以打开接近45度角。下一个帖子里的图片,虽然和课文的不同,但是能够让人看明白是怎么一回事。
当然,这一页里,你可以根据图片问很多问题。比如
1. What was in the paintings on the wall? 你可以回答,什么人物像,猴子爬椰子树,帆船,等等
2. What was Mrs. May holding? 可以回答一个盒子,也许是一些画画的用品(supplies),甚至有可能是食品(snack)
3. What was Chip think about all the time? 想着怎么搞钱
4. What was Chip's idea? 画个巨幅
5. What did Wilf say?
6. What was in Chip's hand?
... ...
这种问题随意问出十几个应该不在话下。
你这段英文和我说的我希望你英文去教不是一个意思。这段英文写的是no.4的道德教育(chip没有等大人解决问题,own the problem给中国多一事不如少一事妥妥的打脸),也就是我喜欢但国内家长读分级想不到的部分(家长读绘本还是要趁机道德教育的)。当然针对不同的对象有调整。但你写成教参的话,那真是给老师用的了。当然这是你的初衷。
