????Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired,?Frank was?the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years?the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

????·I used to drink a lot of coffee.
????·We used to live in the countryside.
????·People used to be happy when they were young.
of his own????自己的,own,強調屬于自己
????·a small workshop of his own????為什么使用 of,因為workshop前面有形容詞 a small 來修飾,英語講究平衡,所以在后面加 of,如果沒有 a small,就可以直接說 his own workshop
in his twenties????20多歲的時候
job????工作,強調職業(yè)
work????工作,強調工作的內容
????·Chinese?teacher is my job.?teaching?students is?my work.?
·知識拓展
It was his job to repair bicycles .... = to repair bicycles was his job ...
????·doing 和 to do 可以當名詞來使用,當作主語做單數(shù),所以是 was
????·為什么要用形式主語?it 呢,因為英語不喜歡頭重腳輕,英語喜歡先說東西,再說形容它的話,如這句話,那是他的工作,他的工作是什么呢?去修理自行車。按中文語序來就是: 修理自行車是他的工作,英語就是: 那是他的工作,修理自行車
????·練習翻譯:環(huán)游世界是我的夢想
????????·It is my dream to travel?around the word.
????·練習翻譯:學習英語是很重要的事情
????????It is very important thing to study English.????
