【Text】

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. "I can't hear a word!" I said angrily.

"It's none of your business," the young man said rudely. "This is a private conversation!"

 

参考译文：

上星期我去看戏. 我的座位很好, 戏很有意思, 但我却无法欣赏. 一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后, 大声地说着话. 我非常生气, 因为我听不见演员在说什么. 我回过头去怒视着那一男一女, 他们却毫不理会. 最后, 我忍不住了, 又一次回过头去, 生气地说 : “我一个字也听不见了!”

“不关你的事, “那男的毫不客气地说, “这是私人间的谈话!”

 

【课文讲解】

1、Last week I went to the theatre.

动词go的原义是离开一个地方去另一个地方，与介词to连用后，常加上主语所要去的目的来代表主语的动作目的。

go to the +地点  表示去某地干嘛

go to the theatre = go to the theatre to see a play去剧场看戏

go to the cinema =see a film  去电影院看电影

go to the dairy  去牛奶店

go to the + 人 + 's 表示去这个人开的店

go to the doctor's 去看病；go to the butcher's 买肉

 

以下短语中名词前不加冠词：

go to school 去上学；go to church 去做礼拜；go to hospital(医院) 去看病；go to bed  上床，睡觉；go home（跟home相连一定表示没有事情可做,回家休息）

I am at home.  在家休息

 

2、I had a very good seat.

seat一般指戏院、汽车等配置的固定座位，也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”等概念。

the front seat of a car  汽车的前座

Take a seat, please.   请坐。

3、I did not enjoy it.

enjoy  vt. 欣赏，享受，喜爱

① enjoy +n.  喜欢,从当中得到一种享受（后面不能跟人）

I enjoy the music.

enjoy the dinner/film/program/game

② enjoy oneself/代词   玩的开心

We always enjoy ourselves.

③ enjoy +动名词

Jane doesn’t enjoy swimming. She enjoys going to the theatre.

 

4、I got very angry. 

get在这里有“逐渐变得”的含义，接近become，是个表示过程的动词，表示状态的变化。而I was very angry则仅表示当时的状态是生气，并不暗示过程。

I am/was angry. 是一个事实

I got angry.  强调变化过程

It is hot.

It got hot.

got取代be动词，got是一个半联系动词,可以直接加形容词。

 

5、I could not hear the actors. I turned round.

hear+人:听见某人的话

I could not hear you. Beg your pardon?

I couldn't hear you./I couldn't hear a word./I couldn't catch your words.

I couldn't hear you clearly./I couldn't catch your words.

Beg your pardon? /I couldn't catch your words.

turn round =turn around  转身

 

6、In the end, I could not bear it.

in the end 最后，终于，表示一段较长的时间之后或某种努力之后

  She tried hard to finish her homework by herself. In the end, she had to ask her brother for help.

I could not bear it/you/the noise.

 

7、I can't hear a word!

I can't hear a word.

美音:肯定I can [kAn] 否定,I can't[kAnt],它的/t/是吞进去的, 在读音上很难区别, 只能根据上下文来定

hear a word of sb.  （a word 等于一句话）

He didn't say a word.

May I speak to Jim?/May I have a word with Jim?

 

8、It's none of your business.

one’s business  指某人（所关心的或份内）的事

It's none of your business./None of your business./It's my business.  不关你的事。

It is my business to look after your health.   我必须照顾你的身体健康。

none相当于not any或no one，但语气较强。

She kept none of his letters.  他的信件她一封也没有保留。

none of 这个短语有时可以表达一种断然、甚至粗暴的口气，尤其是在祈使句中：

None of your silly remarks!  别说傻话了！

'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'

'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

  I get paid on Friday usually.

【Text】

Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Everyday I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!

 

参考译文：

明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁. 去年夏天, 我去了意大利. 我参观了博物馆, 还去了公园. 一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语, 之后还借给我一本书. 我读了几行, 但一个字也不懂. 我每天都想着明信片的事. 假期过得真快, 可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片. 到了最后一天, 我作出了一项重大决定. 我早早起了床, 买来了37张明信片. 我在房间里关了整整一天. 然而竟连一张明信片也没写成!

 

【课文讲解】

1、Last summer, I went to Italy.

last：

① adj. 上一个

last summer里的last表示 “上一个”

② adj. 最后一个，表示“最后一个”时要加冠词the

the last day  最后一天  （具体到一天及一天的早中晚都要用on）

 

2、A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian.

Italian[i5tAljEn]于Italy[5itEli] : 注意重读音的位置不同

teach sb. sth. 教某人做某事

He teaches our English.(错)

He teaches us English.(对)

 

语言不可数, 所以要用a little Italian或a few words of Italian

I can speak a little English/a few words of English.

a few可与复数可数名词连用，表示肯定，含有some，a small number of（一些，少数几个）的意思。

The police would like to ask him a few questions.   警察要问他一些问题。

 

3、Everyday I thought about postcards.

think about/of  考虑, 思考，指某一段时间一直在想/考虑某事, think of还可指想到

What do you think of?

What do you think of TV program last night?

What do you think of the weather today? 你觉得天气怎么样?

think over   仔细考虑，反复思考

 

What’s the weather like today?

cold, chilly（非常非常冷）, freeze

I'll freeze.我要冻僵了

 

4、I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!

spend与表示时间的词或短语连和时，意思为“花（时间）”、“度过”

spend+时间+地点 : 在什么地点我花费/度过了多少时间

I spend three hours in the sea.

I spend my weekend at my mother's.

I spend three hours in the classroom everyday.

I spend a lot of time in traffic jam.(交通堵塞)

spend还可以表示“花钱”

If we spend all the money, we’ll be poor again.

I can’t spend any more on this car.

 

【Key structures】　

一般过去时

一般过去时通常表示过去发生的而现在已经结束的事件、动作或情况。它通常指动作何时发生，而不指动作持续多久。

Do you ever catch a cold in the winter?

Yes, I caught a cold last winter.

 

【Special Difficulties】

直接宾语与间接宾语

双宾语：直接宾语(表示动作结果，动作所涉及的事物)和间接宾语(动作目标，动作是谁做的或为谁做的，通常是人)。间接宾语大多数情况下置于直接宾语之前，如果间接宾语在后，间接宾主前必须加“to”（表示动作对什么人做）或“for”（表示动作为什么人而做）。

give sb. sth./give sth to sb

间接宾语在后面时, 其前必须加to(对……而言)或for(为……而做)。可以翻译为“给”、“替”、“为”的，就用for；如果只能翻译为“给”的, 就用to

与to相连的give, take, pass, read, sell, buy，pay，hand，bring，show，promise，offer，owe

take flowers to my wife.

与for相连的  buy, order, make, find

I buy a book for you .

make a cake for you

find sth. for sb.

do sb. a favor 帮某人一个忙

Do me a favor please./Do a favor for me?  帮我一个忙

I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

 

参考译文

    我刚刚收到弟弟蒂姆的来信, 他正在澳大利亚. 他在那儿已经住了6个月了. 蒂姆是个工程师, 正在一家大公司工作, 并且已经去过澳大利亚的不少地方了. 他刚买了一辆澳大利亚小汽车, 现在去了澳大利亚中部的小镇艾利斯斯普林斯. 他不久还将到达达尔文去, 从那里, 他再飞往珀斯. 我弟弟以前从未出过国, 因此, 他觉得这次旅行非常激动人心.

 

【课文讲解】

1、I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.

同位语：一个名词（或短语等）与另一个名词（或短语）并列而作为其说明或限定成分时称为同位语。同位语与它所补充说明的成分之间用逗号隔开。

在译成汉语时，同位语或者插入主句中，或者另译为一句，很少像英语中那样用逗号隔开。

This is John, one of my best friends.   这位是约翰。他是我最好的朋友之一。

Mrs. Smith, my neighbore, has never been abroad.   我的邻居史密斯夫人从来没有出过国。

 

2、He has been there for six months.

I have arrived in Beijing.   （arrive 是瞬间动词不能和段时间连用）

has been + in 地点

He has been in Beijing for one year.

He has been in America for tow years.

 

3、He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia.

work for   在……上班/任职，强调work

I am working for a school.

work in 强调地点（在哪个地方上班）　　

I am working in the New Oriental school.

work at  上班

 She works at a department store.

 

a number of后面一定要加可数名词复数；通常number前有great，large，good，small，certain等形容词，数量大小也随之改变。a great number of 类似于, 约等于a lot of；

A large/great number of our students are Danish.

There are a small number of spelling mistakes in your homework.

a lot of 可加可数名词也可加不可数名词

I have a lot of friends

I have a great number of friends.

from Beijing to Tianjing

fly to Perth = go to Perth by air

 

6、My brother has never been abroad before, so he is fending this trip very exciting.

before在句子后是副词, 译为“在此之前”，是现在完成时态的标志

find +宾语+形容词做宾补　　　

find the room clean

find her happy

be finding在口语中经常使用 

I'm finding... . . We’re finding... ...

Mr.James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst 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 in three minutes.

【Key structures】　

一般过去时与现在完成时

在表示过去某个特定时间发生的事情或动作时，要用一般过去时。在表示刚刚或者已经完成一个动作并且对现在有影响时，则要用现在完成时，时间状语可以是不特指的now，just或者for引导的一段时间，或者不加任何时间状语。

一般过去时与现在完成时的共同点：动作在过去都做过了；区别：过去式只能强调过去的事, 和现在没有任何关系.

I ate a piece of bread.

现在完成时, 强调过去的事情对现在产生的影响.

I have eaten a piece of bread this morning. I'm not hungry.

The clock stopped.   陈述事实

关于系动词 : 一般来说, 如be become 一定不单独使用, 往往要在后面加上表语, 我们称它为系动词.

但另外还有一些系动词同时又是不及物的实义动词, 常见的有 : seem, look, appear, sound, taste, feel, smell, stay, remain, keep, grow, turn, go, run, get, prove, stand等, 这些词有的语法书上称为半联系动词.

 

【Multiple choice questions】

That's why+从句    那就是……原因, 前者是原因, 后者why后面是结果was caught in the traffic jam. That's why I was late.

That's后面的表语从句常常用特殊疑问词引导, 再加一个句子

That's when we can start class.

That's where we will have a meeting.

That's how I get to school.

 

8  Mr. Scott has a garage in Silbury. His ___b___ garage is in Pinhurst.

a. another         b. other      c. else          d. different

在语法上, 冠词（an/a）、形容词性物主代词（his/my/your）、名词所有格（my mother's）不能同时并存的, 一般要用只能用其中一个

another=an +other    另外一个，强调的是剩下的还有好几个当中的一个, 强调的是有三个以上

other   其它的, 加单数就表示一个, his取代the的位置

语法的范围正在放宽松, his another 也对, 但不太好

else   其他的，放在被修饰词的后面, 会修饰两种词, 疑问词和不定代词

修饰疑问代词： who else,…

What else can I do for you?

修饰不定代词：anyone else, anything else
