这一讲您将学到:quit + V+ing句型, bump into, fillwith, it形式主语
上次我们学会了杀价(bargain),不知道有没有帮上你的忙,提你节省一点money.这次,我们还要继续逛,不过去的是street market,像这样的地方东西本来就很便宜,所以就别讲价了,让做小买卖的人也赚点钱吧!
这次和我们同行的是一对兄妹俩(They are brother and sister),拿着妈妈给他们开的购物单(shopping list),办年货去喽!
(Harry is the brother and Mimi is the sister.)
Harry and Mimi are at a street market for an hour.
Harry: Could we go to a nice warm supermarket? Im freezing!
Mimi: Quit(停止)complaining(抱怨) and try to enjoy yourself.
Its holiday time.
Harry: It looks like the whole world has come here. People keep bumping(撞) into me!
Mimi: All part of the fun. Hey, look at that fish! Its fresh,
isnt it?
Harry: Maybe, but I dont like the way its hanging(挂).
Mimi: Then go over there and fill a bag with those New Year candies(糖果).
Harry: Great idea!
「读书笔记」
1、street market是指在街道两旁搭建摊位的简易的露天市场,俗称菜市场。现在人们大多喜欢去supermarket/shopping mall(超级市场)购物。
2、Harry在street market被冻得够呛,他说:Im freezing. freeze是冷冻的意思, freezing可以理解为冷的都要冻冰了,冷极了,是不是很形象呢。
3、quit + Ving是美语用法,意思是停止妹妹正逛得兴致勃勃,当然讨厌哥哥抱怨(complain)个没完,于是对他说,大过年的,你应该让自己高兴一点!(呵呵,这就是所谓站着说话不腰疼吧。)
4、It looks like the whole world has come here. 看起来全世界(的人)都到这儿来了。(显然Harry还要继续抱怨,人太多了。)
5、People keep bumping into me! 人们一直撞我。Keep + Ving表示动作不断重复,并且一直持续。My little sister kept asking me questions. 我的小妹妹总是问我问题。
6、Bump是不及物动词,后面必须有介词才可以接宾语,通常和 into, against搭配,表示碰、撞的意思。比如:The bus bumped into the car in front. 巴士撞上了前面的汽车。物体之间可以相撞,人和人相撞你见过吗?I bumped into my sweetheart at a night market. 我和我的恋人是在夜市上邂逅的。在这里,bump into就表示撞见、巧遇的意思。
7、All part of the fun. 这是节日乐趣的一部分。
8、Maybe, but I dont like the way its hanging. 哥哥对妹妹采取不合作的态度说:也许吧,但我不喜欢它挂在那里的样子。Way指方式,the way its hanging 它挂着的方式。
9、妹妹听出了哥哥的不满情绪,Then go over there and fill a bag with those New Year candies. 那你去那边买一兜子新年糖果回来吧。fill with是装满、填满的意思,He filled my glass with beer. 他给我的杯子斟满了啤酒。还有一个短语be full of 也表示同样的意思,My glass is full of beer. 我的杯里装满了酒。(注意:fillwith和be full of虽然意思相同,可是用法不一样,fill是动词,可以直接接主语,full是形容词,前面必须要有be才能接主语。)
10、这个主意正中Harry下怀,他大叫Great idea,比good idea情绪高昂得多。忽然想起那天一位男同事问我:How about going to a movie tonight? 好久没人约我了,我大声回答:Great idea! 他大笑,原来那天是4月1号(Fools Day)。
「句型留言板」
如果你不喜欢别人做某事,就可以用quit + V+ing句型告诉他
Quit crying, will you? You know losing money is not a big deal.
别哭了,行吗?丢钱而已嘛,没什么了不起。
Quit yelling at me, I cant stand it.
别唠叨了,我受不了了。
「语法小教室」
It looks like (that) the whole world has come here.
看起来全世界都到这儿来了。
It 作形式主语代替主语从句(that the whole world has come here),主要是为了平衡句子结构,避免头重脚轻。
它的形式是这样的:it+不及物动词+从句
It happens (seems, appears, looks ) that 来看两个例子:
It seems (that) he will be back in a few days.
看来他会在几天内回来。
It happened (that) he met his teacher in the street.
他碰巧在街上遇到了他的老师。
