二、原文

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?

三、課文和語法

1. I am an art student and I paint a lot of paintings. 我是個學(xué)藝術(shù)的學(xué)生，畫了很多畫

并列句，用的是一般現(xiàn)在時。有些表示狀態(tài)和感覺的動詞常用語一般現(xiàn)在時，如appear, appreciate, believe, feel, look like, like, forget, remember等

2. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is ‘a(chǎn)bout’.

1) pretend that… 及tell you what… 都是賓語從句。that和各種疑問句都可以引導(dǎo)賓語從句，具體形式如下

①在及物動詞后面做賓語

Tom thinks that English is beautiful.

Do you know when he will arrive?

② 在雙賓語動詞后作直接賓語

He told me where the post office is.

I assure you that such things will never happen again.

③在介詞后面作賓語

That depends on how hard you work.

They reached agreement about when they should set out.

④在某些形容詞后面作賓語

I’m afraid that I can’t come.

I am sure that he will pass the test.

⑤ that 引導(dǎo)的賓語從句時，一般可以省略

I pretended I was reading.

He thinks the picture is good.

2) about?prep.關(guān)于

The movie is about youth.

They talked about the movie for a long time.

3. They are just pretty patterns.

just 僅僅（是），只是

I was just a wrong number.

剛才，正好，正是

It’s just six o’clock

I’ve just heard the news.

4. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.

in the same way that … 和…一樣

Nick behaves in the same way that his father does.

Jill tried to cook the fish in the same way that her mother did.

5. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else.

1) else adj. 其他的，別的（經(jīng)常與不定代詞、疑問代詞連用, 放后面）

Do you have anything else to say?

It’s someone else’s key. It’s not mine.

What else do you want to say?

Where else can we go?

2) better than anyone else 比其他任何人（表示最高級的含義）

用比較級表示最高級：

????????The teacher is the tallest.

????????The teacher is taller than anyone else.

????????The book is more expensive than anything else.

6. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not.

whether… or not 是否，表選擇 ?= if … or not

Tell me whether I should accept the job (or not).

Tell me whether or not I should accept the job.

whether 還可以引導(dǎo)主語從句、表語從句、介詞賓語從句和同位語從句，但if不可以。whether后面可緊接or not, if不可以，只能分開使用.

Whether he will come or not has nothing to do with me.

7. She looked at it critically for a moment.

for a moment 一會兒，片刻

I stood there for a moment.

8. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'

isn't it upside down = It’s upside down

否定疑問句，沒有否定的意思，起肯定和強(qiáng)調(diào)作用，表達(dá)一種情緒

9、引號

在書面語會話中，用引號（單引號或雙引號）把實(shí)際的對話括起來。引號在英文當(dāng)中第一次出現(xiàn)是單引號, 第二次出現(xiàn)是雙引號, 英文當(dāng)中的書名號用引號來替代

注意事項 :

① 引號位于一行之上, 它們應(yīng)在句尾其他標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號—如逗號、句號、問號—之外.

② 引語的第一個詞以大寫字母開頭.

③ 在 said, asked 等詞后面用逗號, 只有當(dāng)它們位于句尾時, 才在它們的后面用句號.

④ 當(dāng) said, asked 等詞置于引語之間時, 句子的后半部分以小寫字母開始.

⑤ 當(dāng)一個新的說話人開始講話時, 要另起一個段落.

10、疑問代詞

疑問代詞用來引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句，?？嫉囊蓡柎~有：

指人：who, whom, whose

指物：what

即可指人也可指物：which

1）名詞性疑問代詞在疑問句中作主語、表語或賓語

①who, whom, whose 用于指人，分別在疑問句中充當(dāng)主語、賓語、定語（疑問代詞whose作定語時所修飾的名詞或代詞可以被省略，whose單獨(dú)出現(xiàn)，這時whose在形式上充當(dāng)主語、表語或賓語，屬于名詞性疑問代詞的用法）。

Who is to take the chair？ 誰將做主席

Whose is this car? 這時誰的車子

Whom do you wish to speak to? 你找誰接電話

口語中who可以代替whome，但如果有介詞，只能用whom

Who/Whom are you looking for?

What 意為“什么”時，用于事物

What do you mean? 你是什么意思

what可用于問人的職業(yè)、身份

What’s your father 你父親是做什么的?

Which 指人或物中的哪一個,表示一定范圍的選擇(如果沒有明確的選擇范圍，則應(yīng)使用what)

Which film do you want to see?

2) 形容詞性物主代詞在疑問句中作定語

形容詞性疑問代詞有:whose, what, which

whose 通常指人

what, which 通常指物

Whose umbrella is this?

What job do you want to do?

Which team won??

四、習(xí)慣用法
