課文詳注 Further notes on the text

1．A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 一位好客的服務(wù)員教了我?guī)拙湟獯罄�語(yǔ)。

（1）雖然friendly是以-ly結(jié)尾，在拼法上與許多副詞一樣，但它卻是形容詞：

He always greets me in a friendly way.

他總是親切地和我打招呼。

She gave me a friendly greeting.

她友好地和我打了一下招呼。

He is not very friendly to John.

他對(duì)約翰不太友善。

類似的形容詞有： brotherly, fatherly, manly, lovely, motherly 等。

（2）a few可與復(fù)數(shù)可數(shù)名詞連用，表示肯定，含有some, a small number of（一些，少數(shù)幾個(gè)）的意思：

The police would like to ask him a few questions.

警察要問他一些問題。

Mother is coming in a few days.

媽媽過幾天就要來了。

2．Then he lent me a book. 之后還借給我一本書。

像send, buy, give等動(dòng)詞一樣，lend可以有兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)：一個(gè)直接賓語(yǔ)（通常指物），一個(gè)間接賓語(yǔ)（通常指人）。（cf. 本課語(yǔ)法）在這句話中，lend的直接賓語(yǔ)為a book，間接賓語(yǔ)為me。

Would you lend me your pen?

能把你的筆借我用一下嗎？

Yesterday I lent my dictionary to Mary.

昨天我把字典借給了瑪麗。

3．…but I did not understand a word.……但一個(gè)字也不懂。not…a的否定意義比單用not要強(qiáng)。課文的最后一句加了single”，語(yǔ)氣更強(qiáng)。

4．Every day I thought about postcards. 我每天都想著明信片的事。

think about可以指某一段時(shí)間一直在想／考慮某事：

I often think about the lovely holiday we had last year.

我經(jīng)常回想我們?nèi)ツ甓冗^的愉快的假期。

What are you thinking about?

你在想什么？

I'm thinking about my friends.

我在想我的朋友們。

5．make a big decision, 作出一項(xiàng)重大決定。

make/take a decision, 作出決定。這是個(gè)常用的詞語(yǔ)搭配，可以靈活使用：

It was not easy for me to make/ take this decision.

對(duì)我來說作出這項(xiàng)決定并不容易。

You have made/taken a wrong decision.

你作出了個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的決定。

Have you made/taken a decision?

你決定了嗎？

6．I spent the whole day in my room…我在房間里關(guān)了整整一天……

（1）spend與表示時(shí)間的詞／短語(yǔ)連用時(shí)，意思為“花（時(shí)間）”、“度過”：

We're going to spend three days in the country.

我們打算到鄉(xiāng)下去3天。

spend還可以表示“花錢”：

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

如果我們把所有的錢都花光了，我們又會(huì)變窮的。

I can't spend any more on this car.

我不能再為這車花錢了。

（2）whole表示“整整的”、“整個(gè)的”：

a whole year一整年

a whole bottle of milk一整瓶牛奶

two whole weeks整整兩星期

語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use

1．一般過去時(shí) (The simple past tense) 與一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)

上一課的語(yǔ)法提到一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)可以表示習(xí)慣性或經(jīng)常性的動(dòng)作。在用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)詢問有關(guān)習(xí)慣的問題時(shí)可用ever。

一般過去時(shí)通常表示過去發(fā)生的而現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)結(jié)束的事件、動(dòng)作或情況。它通常指動(dòng)作何時(shí)發(fā)生，而不指動(dòng)作持續(xù)多久。因此，過去時(shí)與表明事情何時(shí)發(fā)生的狀語(yǔ)連用是非常重要的。

像last summer, last winter, last week, last night等這類狀語(yǔ)只能與過去時(shí)連用，不能與現(xiàn)在時(shí)連用，因?yàn)樗鼈兇_指過去的時(shí)間。

2．直接賓語(yǔ) (Direct object) 與間接賓語(yǔ) ( Indiret object)

許多及物動(dòng)詞后可以有兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)，直接賓語(yǔ)通常是動(dòng)作所涉及的事物，間接賓語(yǔ)表示動(dòng)作是對(duì)誰(shuí)做的或?yàn)檎l(shuí)做的，通常是人。這類動(dòng)詞有g(shù)ive, show, send, bring, lend, tell, return, write, pay, teach, make, buy, find等。通常間接賓語(yǔ)在前，緊跟動(dòng)詞；不過，如想要強(qiáng)調(diào)直接賓語(yǔ)，也可將它置于動(dòng)詞之后、間接賓語(yǔ)之前。這時(shí)，間接賓語(yǔ)之前則必須用介詞to或for：
