摘要：教学中总会碰到一些意想不到的偶发事件，这是教师始料不及的，也是无法回避的。在实际的英语课堂教学中，有的偶发事件与英语教学密切相关，往往蕴涵着可贵的教学价值；虽然有的偶发事件具有较强的破坏性和消极作用，但是教师若能随机应变，巧妙地处理，也能为我们的教学服务。

案例片段描述：

我在教授形容词副词比较结构时，从学生感兴趣的童话《白雪公主》引入，故事是这样开始的：

Long，longago，there lived a king and a queen. They had a lovely daughter. She was called Snow White. They lived happily in the Palace. But the queen died soon. The King had a new wife this summer，she was Snow White's step-mother.She was very beautiful. She always asked her magic mirror，“Mirror，mirror on the wall. Who's the most beautiful woman in the world？”The mirror would say，“You're the most beautiful woman in the world.”But When Snow White grew up，she became more and more beautiful. She became prettier and prettier.

从而引出形容词（副词）的两个比较级用and相连这个结构。引导学生正确运用此结构。当时正是春天，我指着窗外随口说：“It's getting warmer and warmer.”“The flowers are becoming more and more beautiful.”

学生们倒也七嘴八舌地说开了：

SA：My cat is becoming fatter and fatter.

SB：Han Mei's dog becomes more and more interesting.

S：Bill's little brother eats more and more.

SD：...

这时，一位很调皮的男生嬉皮笑脸地说：

John is loving Susan more and more.（John和Susan是班里的两位成绩很好的学生）

全班同学立刻哄堂大笑，被说到的两位同学显然既尴尬又愤怒，脸立刻红到了脖子。整个课堂的中心一下转移到了他们两个身上。被攻击的男生有还击的倾向。此时我内心犹如热锅上的蚂蚁，坐卧不安。

我是批评那位调皮的学生，强迫同学们安静下来，还是巧妙地舒缓尴尬的气氛，使同学们自然而然地转移注意力呢？我只好说：

You are all classmates. You should love each other.

I love all of you. Do you love me？

I'll be happy if you love me more and more.

那位捣蛋的学生倒也还算机灵，马上插进来说：

Of course . I'll love you more and more。

T：Thanks. I'll be happier and happier if you study harder and harder.

Your parents will love you more and more if you do that.（我当时希望能把同学们心中的“love”扩大为广义的“love”：朋友间、师生间、亲人间的“love”。高中的学生正处于青春发育期，对男女生之间的关系特别感兴趣，最喜欢乱点鸳鸯……
