This is my family 这是我的家人

在动词或介词后面，代词形态会变化：I→me, he→him, they→them（I know her. This is for him.）。看着家庭照片，把 be、have 和家庭词汇综合起来练习，学习 our、their、these、those 以及 very、nice、want。文化角"西方的家庭"讲解英语较少的家庭称谓和直呼名字。

Dialogue

This Is My Family — 这是我的家人

Emma This is my family. These are my parents. 这是我的家人。这两位是我父母。
Minsu Who is he? Is he your brother? 这个人是谁？是你哥哥吗？
Emma Yes, he is. His name is Tom. I love them. 是的。他叫 Tom。我爱他们。
Minsu They are very nice. I want a family too! 他们真好。我也想要这样的家庭！

Dialogue

I Know Them — 我认识他们

Jack Those are Emma's parents. Do you know them? 那两位是 Emma 的父母。你认识他们吗？
Minsu Yes, I know them. They are very nice to me. 是的，我认识他们。他们对我非常好。
Jack And the tall man? Is he her brother? 那个高个子男人呢？是她的兄弟吗？

Vocabulary

our: det. 我们的
their: det. 他们的
me: pronoun 我（宾格）
him: pronoun 他（宾格）
them: pronoun 他们（宾格）
these: det. 这些
those: det. 那些
very: adverb 非常
nice: adjective 好的；不错的
want: verb 想要

Grammar

宾格代词 (me / him / them)

Explanation

代词作主语（动词前）和作动词或介词的宾语时形态不同。主格 → 宾格：I→me, you→you, he→him, she→her, it→it, we→us, they→them。所以主语 "He" 认识宾语 "her"：He knows her。在 "for", "to", "with" 后面也一样：This is for him。许多语言用助词或语序来标记角色而不改变词形，但英语会改变词本身。

Examples

I know her. They like us. 我认识她。他们喜欢我们。
This is for him. I see them. 这是给他的。我看见他们。
These are my parents. I love them. 这两位是我父母。我爱他们。

Culture

Family in the West 西方的家庭

英语的家庭称谓比许多语言少得多，而这正是了解人们如何谈论家庭的线索。称谓少，更多直呼其名，并且很早就走向独立。

一个词，不分年龄

English "brother" and "sister" carry no age and no speaker-gender — there is nothing like 형/오빠/누나/언니. If age matters, you add "older" or "younger": my older brother, my younger sister. Otherwise one flat word covers everyone.

不对陌生人用家庭称谓

You do not call an older stranger "brother" or "auntie". Kin terms stay literal — only for real relatives. For a stranger, "excuse me" is the polite opener, not a family word.

以核心家庭为主与独立

"Family" often means just parents and kids, and many young adults move out and live on their own early. Blunt questions about marriage or salary can feel intrusive — the reverse of some Korean norms. Within the family, kids usually say "Mom" and "Dad", but call aunts and uncles by their first names.

不确定时，把家庭称谓按字面用——只用于真正的亲戚——并且只在真正重要时才加 "older" 或 "younger"。
