Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch
課文內(nèi)容:
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. Isometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday Igot up very late. I looked out of the window. It wasdark outside. ‘What a day!’ I thought. "It's rainingagain." Just then, the telephone rang. It was myaunt Lucy."I've just arrived by train," she said. "I'mcoming to see you. "
"But I'm still having breakfast," I said.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm having breakfast," I repeated.
"Dear me," she said. "Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!"
精講筆記:
13."I'm having breakfast," I repeated.
“我正在吃早飯。”我重復(fù)了剛才的話。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 總結(jié)關(guān)于“吃喝”的表達(dá):
1)have一詞多義,應(yīng)用最為靈活:have breakfast吃早餐;have supper吃晚餐;have snack吃夜宵
2)eat后常接干或較濃的食物:eat soup喝湯(西餐的湯較濃,不可說(shuō)成drink soup);eat porridge喝粥;eat sandwich吃三明治;eat hamburger吃漢堡包
3)drink后常接較稀的飲品:drink tea喝茶;drink wine喝酒;drink cola喝可樂(lè)
4)“吃藥”不能用eat或drink,而用take:take medicine吃藥
5)寶寶吃奶,不能用eat或drink,而用suck:My baby is sucking the milk.我的寶寶正在吃奶。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 repeat=say sth. again重復(fù)。切記repeat sth. again是錯(cuò)誤的。
14."Dear me," she said.
“我的老天爺啊!”她驚呼道。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 dear在英語(yǔ)中常為稱呼語(yǔ),如:dear father, dear Bill, dear friend等。它并非愛(ài)人之間的專用詞,真正的愛(ài)人之間常用darling,尤其在抒情歌曲中更多。在情書(shū)中經(jīng)常采用的稱呼是My dearest...,我最最最親愛(ài)的……。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 表達(dá)“天啊”英美式英語(yǔ)之間的不同:
英式英語(yǔ):My dear!或Dear me!(英國(guó)人比較有紳士風(fēng)度)
美式英語(yǔ):My God!(首字母大寫(xiě))或My gosh!(美國(guó)人表達(dá)得則比較夸張、豪放)
15."Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!"
“你總是起得這么晚嗎?已經(jīng)是下午一點(diǎn)鐘啦!”
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 注意:英語(yǔ)中多用單引號(hào),且單引號(hào)與雙引號(hào)作用相同,使用時(shí)需保持一致,即第一重引語(yǔ)用單引號(hào)時(shí),當(dāng)中引述都用雙引號(hào),第一重引語(yǔ)用雙引號(hào)時(shí),當(dāng)中引述都用單引號(hào)。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 英語(yǔ)中常用的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào):comma逗號(hào);period句號(hào);colon冒號(hào);semicolon分號(hào);dash破折號(hào);dots省略號(hào);slash斜線號(hào);parentheses圓括號(hào);brackets方括號(hào);apostrophe撇號(hào);questionmark問(wèn)號(hào);quotation marks引號(hào);exclamation mark嘆號(hào)
