Notes on the Text

1. How can I help you? 需要我帮忙吗？（我可以帮您做些什么？）
 这是一句向他人伸出援手、主动提出帮助的套话，此句还可说成：How could I help you? 或 How may I help you? 类似的套语还有：
 May I help you? (Could/Can I help you?)
 Do you need any help?
 Is there anything I can help (you) with? (Is there anything I can do for you?)
 What can I do for you?

2. I‘m new in town. 我新来此地。
 in town 是一个短语，表示 ”说话人所在的城镇“。作此用法时，town 前面不加任何冠词。
 My parents are not at home. They’re shopping in town. 我父母不在家，他们在城里买东西呢？

3. To get there, I usually walk out and turn right on Bridge Road. 要去那儿（动物园）的话，我通常步行外出，在大桥路向右拐。
 这是英语行文的一种方式，即在句子的开头用 To do … 短语，并用逗号将其与句子的主题部分隔离，相当于汉语 “（若）要做 … 的话”。

例如：

To listen to world news, please key in “1”. 若要收听国际新闻，请输入 ”1“。
To get it right, you must think hard. 要想把它做对，你必须得认真思考。

4. The best things in life are free! 生活中最美好的东西（文中指 ”清新的空气“ 和 ”阳光“）是免费的呀！
 free 表示 ”免费的；有空的；空闲的“。

例如：

I’m very buys with school from Monday to Friday, but I have some free time on weekends. 我周一到周五非常忙，但在周末我有空。
You can take this book with you – it’s free! 你可以拿走这本书，它是免费的！
Are you free tomorrow? I want you to come to my birthday party. 你明天有空吗？我想请你来参加我的生日聚会。

5. It is very quiet and I enjoy reading there. 图书馆很安静，我喜欢在那里看书。
 enjoy 表示 ”从中得到乐趣；欣赏；喜欢“，后面接动词时，动词用 -ing 形式，即 enjoy doing … , 表示 ”喜欢做某事；享受做某事所带来的愉悦和乐趣“。

例如：

I enjoy reading at home when it is raining. 我喜欢下雨天呆在家里看书。
My mother enjoys listening to soft music. 我妈妈喜欢挺轻柔的音乐。
