Notes on the Text
1. 介词 in, on 和 at
在表述时间概念时,介词 in, on 和 at 常与不同的时间名词搭配。
1)介词 in 常与表示 “一段时间” 的时间名词搭配。
例如:
in the morning 在上午
in the afternoon 在下午
in the evening 在晚上
2)介词 on 常与 “日期”、“星期几”、搭配,表示 “在具体的某一天”。
例如:
on October 2nd 在十月二日
on Monday 在星期一
3)介词 at 常与 “钟点时刻” 搭配,表示 “在具体的某一时刻”。
例如:
at 9:00 in the morning 在早上九点钟
2. So, how old are you, Alan? 那么,你多大了,艾伦?
1)so 是英语口语中人们常用的一个语气词,相当于汉语中的 “于是;那么;这样一来”,起到承上启下的作用。
2)How old are you? 是指 “你多大了?”需要指出的是,在西方国家,人们大多忌讳别人了解自己的年龄,尤其是成年女性,他们认为年龄是个人隐私,询问他人年龄是不礼貌的。
3. See you! 再见!
See you. 相当于 Goodbye. 英语中常见的表示道别的表达式还有:
See you later. 过一会儿见;回头见。
See you this afternoon/evening. 今天下午(晚上)见。
See you soon. 早日见。(希望早点再见。)
See you then. 到时见。
See you tomorrow. 明天见。
4. School Day 学校开放日;学校活动日
day 通常表示 “天;白天;一日”,但当 D 大写,成为专有名词时,Day 可以表示节日、纪念日以及其他特殊意义的日期。在本单元中,Shool Day 表示 “学校开放日;学校活动日”,但它不是一个固定的节日,不同学校庆祝的方式也会有不同。类似的搭配还有:
English Day 英语节;英语日
Sports Day 体育节;运动会
英、美国家的中小学非常重视学生的课余活动,每一学都会组织各种各样的活动来丰富学生的生活,培养他们的社会能力。
5. We have some interesting and fun things for you this term. 本学期我们为大家安排了一些有趣又好玩的活动。
term 表示 “学期”,this term 表示 “本学期”。英语中的 “学年” 称作 school year。
interesting 和 fun 是近义词,但语意稍有差别。interesting 的含义是 “有意思的;有吸引力的”,fun 的含义是 “逗乐的;有趣的;使人快乐的”。
例如:
I find this book interesting. 我发现这本书很有意思。
This game looks fun. 这个游戏看来好玩。
6. Your parents can come to our school. 你们的家长可以前来学校。
can 是情态动词,表示 “可以;能够”。
例如:
Can you help me? 你能帮我吗?
You can’t do it like this! 你不能这样做!
