Bizonyára a legismertebb japán nő, a legendás Beatles együttes lázadó John Lennon-jának második felesége volt (ma már Víg Özvegye) őkelme. John első fia, Julian Lennon csak Her Highness-ként (Őfelsége) emlegeti. Ha bővebben szeretnéd megtudni, hogy tett szert YOKO ONO erre a 'címre' oldd meg a következő angol szövegértés feladatot! A képen olvasható 12 szó maradt ki a szövegből, helyezd őket vissza a megfelelő helyre! Hajrá!
Yoko Ono was born the daughter of a banker and a classical pianist in Japan, and on her father's side she has a long line of __________(1) warriors in her blood. The family was very well-off for her youngest years but then came World War II and the fire bombings of Tokyo. Twelve-year-old Yoko ran to safety and took shelter in a bunker underneath the streets of Tokyo. After the smoke had faded away, Japan's economy faded as well and the Ono family was no exception. The family escaped to a mountain town, all their belongings in a wheelbarrow and they had to beg for food on the streets. Yoko's mother even traded an old sewing machine for a bag of rice so that they wouldn't __________(2). Yoko says this is what helped her to understand what it's like to be an outsider and how she developed her aggressive attitude towards the things she wants. Eleven years later, Yoko now 22, married a composer called Toshi, but after a messy divorce she ended up suffering from clinical __________(3) which was so severe that she was placed in a mental institution. Yoko married again to an American jazz musician named Anthony Cox who was instrumental in her release from the asylum. They had a daughter named Kyoko but the marriage quickly fell apart and Anthony changed Kyoko's name to Ruth and ran away with her while they were having a __________(4) battle over her. Eventually, Anthony won custody of Kyoko stating that Yoko was an unfit parent due to drug use. Yoko wouldn't see her daughter for 27 years. Later on Yoko hosted an art exhibit and lo and behold John Lennon showed up. Initially he wasn't very impressed with the art, but then he saw a ladder in the middle of the room and climbed to the top of it and saw just a simple word 'YES' written on the ceiling. He said it resonated with him because all art at that time that he had seen was 'anti this' and 'anti that' and this was a refreshing positive take on art. John and Yoko's friendship grew slowly. Cynthia, his wife at the time, asked him: "Who is this woman calling our house phone?" to which he replied "Oh, she's just calling to obtain money for her __________(5) bullshit". But Yoko was on John's mind. Yoko roughly translated means __________(6) and while John was writing his song Julia he even referred to her in it saying "Ocean child calls me". While Cynthia was away on vacation, John invited Yoko over to his house to do some recording. They recorded all night and as John put it, they made love at dawn. When Cynthia arrived back from holiday, she saw Yoko Ono sitting at her table wearing only Cynthia's white robe, drinking tea with her husband, to which John only said "Oh, hey!". They divorced shortly after that. John and Yoko married and the news dragged her through the mud. There wasn't anything like it. They called her names like __________(7), a 'succubus', a 'gold digger'. Yoko and John's relationship began to shrink under the pressure of his looming deportation from the US and her inability to track down her daughter Kyoko. John travelled back and forth to New York and LA with his assistant and friend May Pang. While in California, he decided that he wanted to buy a house with May Pang and stopped picking up Yoko Ono's calls to him. Yoko eventually tracked John down and convinced him to come back to her stating that she had found a cure for her smoking __________(8). John returned to New York with Yoko and May Pang called "What the hell is going on, where are you?" and Yoko responded to her on the phone: "John is unavailable. He is too exhausted from his __________(9) sessions." Two days later May ran into John serendipitously at a dentist's office. She said he looked stupefied and confused to an extent that May Pang thought John Lennon had been brainwashed. John told her there that his separation from Yoko was now over but Yoko would allow her to see John as a mistress. People started to notice that Yoko was now sitting in on every Beatles recording giving her true sense to the boys who had been performing together for a decade at that point. And now a strange lady was telling them: "Oh, you need more yah, yah, yah or primal __________(10) in your songs". Tensions were so high at the time, they were being screwed out of their own money, Paul's in-laws were getting involved in managing the Beatles and they were working separately on so many songs that they were almost already solo artists. It's difficult to claim Yoko was to __________(11) for the break-up of the Beatles, but some events should be treated as facts. Certain things are just evident, like her treatment of Julian. Not only did she have Julian buy Lennon's letters back at auction like a nobody, but John's will left nothing to Cynthia and Julian. Yoko, instead of doing the right thing and acknowledging that Julian deserved to be part of his father's legacy, monetarily and otherwise, she fought him in court for years until she gradually settled. She even referred to Julian as the 'mistake child' and her son Sean as the 'planned one'. Furthermore, when Paul McCartney asked Yoko, who now controlled 90% of the publishing rights, if she could change the Lennon-McCartney credit on the music to McCartney-Lennon only for the songs he was the sole writer of, she rudely turned him down saying "Stop trying to rewrite history!" After Lennon had tragically passed away, Yoko decided it would be a great idea to take the __________(12) glasses of a recently murdered husband and put it on display as the cover for her first album.

Miért ne tanulhatnál könnyedén és dalolva angol nyelvtant?! Pedig lehetséges! :) A következő forradalmi sorozatom nyelvtani szerkezetek bemutatását tűzte ki célul angol nyelvű dalokban. Többek közt a Beatles együttes nagy segítségemre lesz ebben, hiszen ők még többnyire nem áldozták fel a "proper English grammar"-t se a pop-rock se a dallam-ritmus oltárán. Persze még náluk is akadnak kivételek, de ha ilyenbe ütköznénk, mindenképp figyelmeztetlek Benneteket :D
A mai nyelvtani témánk angol neve:
SECOND CONDITIONAL (SENTENCES) azaz
MÁSODIK TÍPUSÚ FELTÉTELES MONDATOK
(PRESENT CONDITIONAL)
Ezt a szerkezetet akkor használjuk, ha egy nem reális (angolul UNREAL) szituációt képzelünk el és feltesszük, hogyan cselekedNÉNK, ha bekövetkezNE. A lényeg, hogy valójában JELEN pillanatban nem áll fenn a helyzet, de mi lenNE, ha mégis? Vajon hogyan reagálNÁNK?
IF I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU, mondják a gombafejűek, ami annyit tesz: "Ha belédesNÉK".
Az ilyen típusú mondatok két tagmondatból (angolul CLAUSE) állnak, ezek egyikében áll a "ha" feltételt kifejező szócska (angolul IF).
A magyarban mindkét tagmondatot JELEN időben a -NA,-NE,-NÁ,-NÉ stb. igeragokkal látjuk el, az angol mondatban viszont ennél egy kissé fegyelmezettebb szerkezetet kell követnünk:
IF + PAST SIMPLE , WOULD+V1(inf)
Magyarázat: az IF-es tagmondatban "alakilag" egyszerű múltat (past simple) használsz, utána vesszővel választod el a másik tagmondattól, amelyben a would segédige után V1-et, azaz jelen idejű szótári (azaz ragozatlan) igealakot teszel. A V1-et a rendhagyó igék (irregular VERBS 1. oszlopára utalva használom, de persze BÁRMELY ige infinitive-jét értem alatta. Az "alakilag" kifejezés arra utal, hogy csak formájában mutatkozik múlt idő a mondatban, a mondat valódi igeideje JELEN idő és FELTÉTELES mód. Sose ess abba a hibába, hogy múltnak fordítod!
Lássuk akkor:
1. variáció: az IF-es tagmondattal kezdesz:
If I won the lottery, I would buy a Ferrari.
Ha nyerNÉK a lottón, venNÉK egy Ferrarit.
2. variáció: az IF a második tagmondatban van
I would buy a Ferrari if I won the lottery. (Ha nem IF-fel kezdesz, az angol mondatban nincs vessző középen)
Vennék egy Ferrarit, ha nyernék a lottón.
A tagmondatok sorrendje tehát lényegtelen.
Még 2 példa:
Nem tanulnék angolul, ha folyékonyan beszélném.
I would not study English if I spoke it fluently.
Apropó! A would not összevonása: wouldn't
Hordanád azt a bundát, ha megvenném neked?
Would you wear that fur coat if I bought it for you?
Figyelem #1!
A can segédige múlt ideje COULD.
Figyelem #2!
A can segédige elé nem tehetsz would-ot! Ilyenkor a can-ből ugyancsak COULD lesz. (would+can=could)
Figyelem #3!
A következő dalban nem csak 2nd conditional van! Csak a fent leírt szerkezetet szabad -na,-ne,-ná,-né-ra fordítani, ugyanis van még 3 másik feltételes mondat is, ezekről később lesz szó.
nyelvoktató csatornámra!
