注1. 英國習(xí)慣將樓房的地面第一層稱為 ground floor作儿。意思是底層,第二層開始計(jì)數(shù)馋劈,稱 the first floor攻锰,第三層稱 the second floor,…… 這樣就與我國的習(xí)慣相差一層妓雾。美國的用法與我們一致娶吞。
Mr Robinson's office is on the second floor, Room 205. 這句話字面意思是,羅賓遜先生在第二層械姻,205房間妒蛇。如果在英國就得到三樓去找。
注2. 在第幾層樓,說 on the (第幾)floor.
— Where‘s the bar?(酒吧在哪兒绣夺?)
— Pardon, sir?(什么吏奸?先生。)
— Where's the bar? (酒吧在哪兒陶耍?)
— It's on the first floor.(在一樓奋蔚。)*
2. How can I get here?
約翰在樓道里碰到了琳達(dá) ……
John: Hello, Linda. These are for you?
Linda: Oh, how nice! They are lovely. Thank you, John.
John: Would you have dinner with me the evening?
Lindar: Of course. Where?
John: Let's go to the Italian restaurant in Green Street, Franco's.
Linda: Can you tell me the way?
John: Go along North Street. Turn left down West Street. Take the second turning on the right. That's Green Street. And Franco's Restaurant is on the corner, next to the Grand Hotel. And now I want to see Mr Jones. Can you tell me the way?
Linda: Along there. Third door on the left.
約翰:琳達(dá),你好烈钞。這些(花)是給你的泊碑。
琳達(dá):啊,真美毯欣!很好看馒过。約翰,謝謝你仪媒。
約翰:今晚和我去吃飯好嗎沉桌?
琳達(dá):當(dāng)然可以,在哪里算吩?
約翰:我們到格林大街的意大利飯館去吧留凭,弗朗飯館。
琳達(dá):你能告訴我怎么走嗎偎巢?
約翰:沿著北街往前走蔼夜,然后向左拐到西大街,在第二個路口向左拐压昼。尋就是格林大街求冷。弗朗科飯館就在拐角上,緊挨著大飯店∏舷迹現(xiàn)在我還要去見瓊斯先生匠题,你能告訴很怎么走嗎?
琳達(dá):前面那兒但金,左邊第三個門韭山。
注3:There are for you. 這是送給別人一些東西的常用說法。也可以說 This is for you. (這個給你冷溃。)
注4:How nice! 是感嘆句钱磅。感嘆句表達(dá)驚訝、贊美似枕、快樂或憤怒的感情盖淡。如:How hot! (多熱啊T浼摺)How beautiful! (多漂亮巴食佟H吆蕖)
注5:問路有兩種說法:How can I get there? 或 Can you tell me the way? 例:How can I get Fraunco' ? Can you tell me the way in Beijing Station?
注6:英語在指路的說法中常用 along 或 down 表示“沿著……往前走”的意思。有時也用 up 牵咙,習(xí)慣用法是派近,從大地方到小地方、從北到南洁桌、從坡上到坡下、從上游到下游等用 down 侯嘀,反之用up 另凌。如:Go along (down) West Street. Walk up the road. (沿著此路走去。)
炷7:在這段課文中戒幔,take the secend turning 的 take 是”拐彎“的意思吠谢。在上一段課文中,take the lift 的 take 是”乘“的意思诗茎,to take 的詞義很多工坊,需要根據(jù)上下文來定。例如:take a bath (洗個澡)敢订;take taxi (乘出租車)王污;take a look (看一看);take a up of tea (喝杯茶)楚午;take a rest (休息一下)昭齐。
注8:在第四課中我們學(xué)了 first left 和 first right,它們就是 the first turning on the left(right) 的省略說法矾柜。

琳達(dá):我可以告訴你怎么走切平。我想可以。
注9:用 I'm sorry … 開頭的句子用來表達(dá)因?yàn)槟呈露阜hat's all right. 是對別人表示歉意的回答悴品。注意比較 Not at all. 是別人感謝自己的回答。例如:
