良好的餐桌禮儀(二)

在西餐桌上,有很多細(xì)節(jié)需要注意,如:不要取食右手邊的食物,它是傳給你右座的客人的;多次取用食物時(shí),要把盤(pán)子連同叉子一起遞給女主人;吃沙拉時(shí),要用右手拿叉子,等等。

(6) Helping yourself and saying no:

If someone passes food around, he will put the dish at your left hand side. It is easy for you to help yourself with your right hand. Never take food when the dish is on your right side. It is for your neighbor(鄰居)on the right. It is polite(禮貌的)to take a little of everything passed on to you. But if you dont like the food, you can say politely, “No, thank you.”

(7)A second helping:

The hostess may ask if you would like a second helping. If you want some more, you should pass your plant on to her with your knife and fork(叉子)on it.

(8) The salad(沙拉)course:

You should eat with a fork. You can only hold the fork with your right hand. There is usually a special(特別的)fork for salad. It is a little smaller than the meat fork. (To be continued)

語(yǔ)法運(yùn)用

過(guò)去完成時(shí)

過(guò)去完成時(shí)表示過(guò)去某一時(shí)間或某一動(dòng)作之前已經(jīng)發(fā)生或完成的動(dòng)作,動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間是“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”。它是一個(gè)相對(duì)的時(shí)態(tài),只有在和過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間或動(dòng)作相比較時(shí)才會(huì)用到。過(guò)去完成時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)是“had+過(guò)去分詞”。它的否定句是在had后邊加not,變一般疑問(wèn)句是把had提前。它通常和before, by the end of 等引導(dǎo)的表示過(guò)去的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)連用。另外, 復(fù)合句的主句為一般過(guò)去時(shí), 賓語(yǔ)從句表達(dá)過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作時(shí),從句也要用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。

做題時(shí)常見(jiàn)錯(cuò)誤如下:

一、had形式易寫(xiě)錯(cuò)

例:Hehads(have) gone home when I got to his office.

答案:had

解析:have/has 的過(guò)去式都為had, had在過(guò)去完成時(shí)中也是助動(dòng)詞, 無(wú)第三人稱(chēng)單數(shù)的變化。

二、易與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)弄混

例:He asked what Ihave(have) said.

答案:had

解析:現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響或結(jié)果,而過(guò)去完成時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)過(guò)去的影響或結(jié)果。

三、易與一般過(guò)去時(shí)弄混

例:Shelived(live) in New York for eight years before he came to China.

答案:had lived

解析:過(guò)去完成時(shí)主要體現(xiàn)過(guò)去發(fā)生的兩個(gè)動(dòng)作先后有別,即比過(guò)去發(fā)生的某動(dòng)作還要“過(guò)去”,兩個(gè)動(dòng)作中先發(fā)生的用過(guò)去完成時(shí),后發(fā)生的則只用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。
