课文详注 Further notes on the text

1.A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语。

(1)虽然friendly是以-ly结尾,在拼法上与许多副词一样,但它却是形容词:

He always greets me in a friendly way.

他总是亲切地和我打招呼。

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.

他对约翰不太友善。

类似的形容词有: brotherly, fatherly, manly, lovely, motherly 等。

(2)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。

Mother is coming in a few days.

妈妈过几天就要来了。

2.Then he lent me a book. 之后还借给我一本书

像send, buy, give等动词一样,lend可以有两个宾语:一个直接宾语(通常指物),一个间接宾语(通常指人)。(cf. 本课语法)在这句话中,lend的直接宾语为a book,间接宾语为me。

Would you lend me your pen?

能把你的笔借我用一下吗?

Yesterday I lent my dictionary to Mary.

昨天我把字典借给了玛丽。

3.…but I did not understand a word.……但一个字也不懂。not…a的否定意义比单用not要强。课文的最后一句加了single”,语气更强。

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

think about可以指某一段时间一直在想/考虑某事:

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

我经常回想我们去年度过的愉快的假期。

What are you thinking about?

你在想什么?

I'm thinking about my friends.

我在想我的朋友们。

5.make a big decision, 作出一项重大决定。

make/take a decision, 作出决定。这是个常用的词语搭配,可以灵活使用:

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

对我来说作出这项决定并不容易。

You have made/taken a wrong decision.

你作出了个错误的决定。

Have you made/taken a decision?

你决定了吗?

6.I spent the whole day in my room…我在房间里关了整整一天……

(1)spend与表示时间的词/短语连用时,意思为“花(时间)”、“度过”:

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

我们打算到乡下去3天。
