背景知識(shí)?
1. 用句型“What’s your favorite…?”問“最喜歡的東西是什么”,favorite在這里是形容詞,表示“喜聞樂見的、最中意的、最喜愛的”,用來修飾名詞。這是一個(gè)常用的口語句型。
2. have classes的意思是“上課”。我們學(xué)習(xí)的have/has意為“具有”,是狀態(tài)而不是一個(gè)動(dòng)作。但have/has可以和某些名詞搭配,構(gòu)成固定的動(dòng)詞詞組,并有不同的意思。例如:
1) have breakfast/lunch/supper 吃早飯/中飯/晚飯
2) have tea 喝茶
3) have fun 娛樂
4) have a walk 散步
5) have a talk 談話,發(fā)言
6) have a swim 游泳
2 詢問時(shí)間
一寸光陰一寸金,寸金難買寸光陰。
我們一定要學(xué)會(huì)珍惜時(shí)間。

背景知識(shí)?
別人詢問時(shí)間時(shí),應(yīng)以“It+時(shí)間”作答,此處“it”表示時(shí)間。應(yīng)注意中、英文在時(shí)間表達(dá)上的差異,以及用英語表達(dá)時(shí)間的規(guī)律:可以按漢語習(xí)慣,說完點(diǎn)鐘,再說分鐘;也可以借用介詞“past”或“to”,其結(jié)構(gòu)為分鐘在前,點(diǎn)鐘在后。過了一至三十分鐘,用“past”表示“過”;剛過一刻鐘,用“a quarter”;剛過三十分鐘,用“half”;過了三十一至五十九分鐘,則用“to”,表示“差幾分到幾點(diǎn)”。
1 How come? 為什么?
— We couldn’t make it on time. 我們趕不上了。
— How come? 為什么?
分析▲“How come?”的意思是“為什么?”,和“Why?”一樣,表示“為什么?”。
2 How early can you come? 你多早能來?
— How early can you come? 你多早能來?
— I can be there at 8:30. Will that be early enough? 我八點(diǎn)半會(huì)到。那樣夠早嗎?
分析▲以“how+形容詞/副詞”開頭的疑問句是“多……”的意思,請(qǐng)看下面的例句:
1) How much is it?(這東西多少錢?)
2) How soon can you finish your report?(你的報(bào)告多快可以完成?)
3) How expensive is a house in New York?(紐約的房子有多貴?)(意思和“值多少錢”相近,不過給人一種“并不便宜”的感覺)
3 When can you come? 你什么時(shí)候能來?
— When can you come? 你什么時(shí)候能來?— How about next Tuesday? 下星期二如何?
分析▲“when”有兩個(gè)功能。第一種用于疑問句,表示“什么時(shí)候……”,在這樣的疑問句中,“when”都放在句首。第二種用法則是當(dāng)連接詞用,表示“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”。例如:
1) He was sleeping when I came back.(當(dāng)我回來時(shí),他正在睡覺。)
2) It was raining when I got up.(當(dāng)我醒來的時(shí)候,正在下雨。)
4 Not really. 不算……
— Is your office far from home? 你的公司離家很遠(yuǎn)嗎?
— Not really. I can drive to work in 20 minutes. 不算遠(yuǎn)。開車20分鐘就到了。
分析▲“Not really.”(不算……,沒那么……)是非常有用的句型。例如:
“Are you hungry?”(“你餓嗎?”)
“Not really.”(“不是很餓?!保?/p>
5 Is this the right bus to the zoo? 這輛車是到動(dòng)物園的嗎?
— Is this the right bus to the zoo? 這輛汽車是到動(dòng)物園的嗎?
— No, you have to take a bus over there. 不是,你必須坐那邊的汽車才能到。
分析▲“Is this the right bus to…?”是“去……坐這輛車對(duì)嗎?”的意思。通過以下例句,希望各位牢記“right”及其反義詞“wrong”的用法:
1) He is the right man for the job.(他是那份工作的適合人選。)
2) Sorry, you have the wrong number.(抱歉,你打錯(cuò)電話了。)
6 Just a second. 請(qǐng)等一下。
— Could you please keep the door open for me? 拜托你,可以替我把門開著嗎?
— Sure. Just a second. 沒問題。請(qǐng)等一下。
分析▲“Just a second.”若是直譯的話,就成了“請(qǐng)等我一秒鐘”。其實(shí),它和“Just a moment.”或“Just a minute.”一樣,都是“請(qǐng)等一下”的意思。
