Lesson 6 Percy Buttons
★New words and expressions
☆beggar n.乞丐
注意這是我們目前為止學(xué)到的唯一的以-ar結尾的名詞。
v.beg 乞求
beg for:乞求得到
ask for:請求得到
☆pocket n.衣服口袋
inner pocket：大衣、西服內口袋
jacket pocket;coat pocket
pocket book:袖珍書(shū)；pocket dictionary
pocket money:零花錢(qián)（小孩的）
（不是零錢(qián)，零錢(qián)是change：get exact change）
男人的零花錢(qián)：beer money
18世紀，在小說(shuō)里有時(shí)能見(jiàn)到女人的零花錢(qián)是針線(xiàn)錢(qián)。但是隨著(zhù)時(shí)代的進(jìn)步，剩下的money都歸女人管，所以女人無(wú)零花錢(qián)。
pocket pick:車(chē)上的小偷
☆call v.拜訪(fǎng)，光顧
call sb/call up sb:給某人打電話(huà)
call back:回電話(huà)
我們昨天學(xué)的電話(huà)用語(yǔ)
-Can you take a message for me?
如果不想讓第三人知道，你可以說(shuō)：
Can you tell him to call back?
關(guān)于call的幾個(gè)短語(yǔ)：
call at+地點(diǎn)=visit someplace
call on sb
I will call on you.=I will call at your home.
call out=shout 大聲喊
call in sb 招集和邀請
For the project,the government called in a lot of experts.
★Text
I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street.Yesterday a
beggar knocked at my door.He asked me for a meal and a glass
of beer.In return for this,the beggar stood on his head and
sang songs.I gave him a meal.He ate the food and drank the
beer.Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went
away.Later a neighbor told me about him.Everybody knows
him.His name is Percy Buttons.He calls at every house in the
street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of
beer.
☆ask sb for sth:問(wèn)某人要什么東西
for：為了這個(gè)目的去請求某人。sb更多的時(shí)候并不出現，而直接說(shuō)ask
for sth,因為強調的是東西而不是人。
eg:The boy asks (his parents)for money again/once more.
☆in return:作為回報
He doesn't want anything in return.
in return for sth:作為對……的回報
I'll buy a present for him in return for hospitality.

用手著(zhù)地：stand on one's hand/hands
跪著(zhù)：stand on one's knees
躺著(zhù)：lie on one's back(仰面)/side（側躺）/stomach（趴著(zhù)）
☆tell sb about sth
about:關(guān)于，通過(guò)其它事自己得出結論
tell sb sth:告訴某人某件事（把事情直接告訴）
☆所有的不定代詞作主語(yǔ)一律為單數看待。
everybody,somebody,anybody,something,anything,everything
☆英語(yǔ)：in
the street
美語(yǔ)：on the street
★難點(diǎn)
有些動(dòng)詞的后面加上介詞或副詞以后就會(huì )改變詞義。這種新的組合稱(chēng)作短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。
如：put：放 put on:穿
take：拿走 take off:脫下
look：看
look at:看；look for:尋找；look after:照顧；look out:當心
knock
knock at:敲
knock off:1)下班 He knockedoff earlier.
2)knock sth off+地點(diǎn)：從……把……撞倒
knock the vase off the table
3)打折 knock 10% off the price
knock over
A car knocked the boy over.
[注]如果有地點(diǎn)：off；無(wú)地點(diǎn)：over
knock out:打暈（拳擊術(shù)語(yǔ)，把人打倒在地）
