Lesson 5 No wrong numbers
★New words and expressions
☆pigeon n.鴿子
口語(yǔ)里常說(shuō):It's not my pigeon.=None of my business.這不是我的過(guò)錯
☆message n.信息(可數名詞)
information 信息(不可數名詞)
leave sb a message:給……留便條
I'll leave you a message.
take a message for sb:替……捎口信
此句在電話(huà)里非常常用,如果你要找的人不在,對方會(huì )說(shuō):
Can I take a message for you?
或者你可以說(shuō):Can you take a message for me?
☆cover v.越過(guò)
cover+距離:越過(guò) cover the distance
☆distance n.距離
adj:distant
以-ce結尾的名詞,形容詞一般以-t結尾
如:importance--important;difference--different
keep distance:保持距離
中國人往往喜歡和人靠的很近,而英國人喜歡保持一定距離,他們認為自己周?chē)囊磺,包括空氣都是自己的。所以在餐廳吃飯,想和英國人坐一桌,應該先問(wèn):Can
I join you?或Can I share this table?而不要直接去坐。
☆request n.要求,請求
request for:對……有請求,需求
I have a request for the cake.
v.request sb to do sth=ask sb to do sth:要求某人做……
在口語(yǔ)中用require sb to do sth
外國人喜歡用被動(dòng):You're required/asked to do...
☆spare part 備件
☆service n.業(yè)務(wù),服務(wù)
v.serve
(I'm glad to be)At your service.
我很樂(lè )意為您效勞。
[總結]對Thank you.的回答:
-That's all right./That' OK.絕對正確,絕對過(guò)時(shí)。只有老人還用,已漸漸背遺忘。
-You are welcome./Not at all./(It's)My pleasure./At your
service.
在演講講座的結尾,演講者會(huì )說(shuō):Thank you for
your listening.此時(shí)以上回答都不準確,回應是報以熱烈的掌聲。
如果一個(gè)老外給你說(shuō)Thank you.你一激動(dòng)想不起怎么回答,最聰明的回答就是:No
thanks.同樣對sorry可以回答:No sorry.
★Text
Mr James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just
bought another garage in Pinhurst.Prinhurst is only five miles
from Silbury,but Mr Scott cannot get a telephone for his new
garage,so he has just bought twelve pigeons.Yesterday,a pigeon
carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury.The bird
covered the distance the first three minutes.Up to now,Mr
Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other
urgent messages from one garage to the other.In this way,he
has begun his own private 'telephone' service.
☆another:其它中的一個(gè)(+單數名詞)
other(adj)+n(可為單數或復數) 其它的 other
people/books
the other:兩個(gè)之中的另外一個(gè)(直接用,后面什么也不加)
句型:One...the other...
eg:I have two sisters.One is watering the flowers,and the
other is reading.
others=other+名詞復數
句型:Some...others...
eg:Some boys are playing football,and others are rowing/going
boating.
結合課后選擇題(8)
Mr Scott has a garage in Silbury.His___garage is in Pinhurst.
A.another B.other C.else D.different
C錯。else:其它的。else會(huì )放在被修飾詞的后面。
它只能修飾兩種詞:1.疑問(wèn)代詞:who else,what
else;2.不定代詞:anyone else,anything else.
D錯。
A和B語(yǔ)法上都對,但A不好。
原因:1.an/a是冠詞;his/my/your是形容詞性物主代詞;my
mother's是名詞所有格。在語(yǔ)法上,以上三個(gè)詞是不能同時(shí)并存的,一般要用只能用其中一個(gè)。
所以his和another=an+other不同時(shí)出現。
在這里可以用但是用的不好,是因為語(yǔ)法的范圍正在放寬松。
2.another強調的是剩下的還有好幾個(gè)當中的一個(gè),強調的是有三個(gè)以上。
B.other加單數就表示一個(gè),his取代the的位置。
☆距離的表達方式:Pinhurst is five miles(away)(from
Silbury).
Bus stop is only one mile (from school/here).
對距離提問(wèn):How far...?
How far(away)is the bus stop?
☆get a telephone:安裝電話(huà)
☆carry:帶著(zhù),攜著(zhù),意味著(zhù)這個(gè)東西不會(huì )落地
I carry the bag.
take則是著(zhù)地:I take my sister to the cinema.
☆a great many=a great number of (+可數名詞復數)
許多
a lot of太簡(jiǎn)單了,把它放到一邊吧,有舍才有得:)
☆關(guān)于way的幾個(gè)短語(yǔ):
※in this way:這樣,以這種方式 in a friendly way
※by the way:順便說(shuō)以聲(口語(yǔ)開(kāi)頭,用來(lái)轉移話(huà)題,或使很?chē)烂C的問(wèn)題變得較隨意)
※on the way(to):在去……的途中(陳述句)
on the way to school/the office;on the way home
※in a way:從某種意義上來(lái)說(shuō)
In a way,you are kind.
※in the way:
1.擋路:Sorry,you are in the way.但一般不需要說(shuō),只要說(shuō)Excuse
me.就行。
out of the way:讓路
如果那個(gè)人死活不給你讓路,你說(shuō):Get out of the
way!滾開(kāi)!
2.=in this way
記住一個(gè)句型:I do...in th
