二、佳句赏析
Visiting Friends
1．情景会话
(David Smith and his wife，Joanna，go visiting Travis Johnson，S&S's General Man
ager and his wife，Betty.)
Travis： Welcome！ David，we're so glad you could make it(happen).
David： Thank you for inviting us. Uh，Travis，this is my wife，Joanna. .
Joanna： How do you do？ I've heard a lot about you.
Travis： How do you do？ Oh，and this is my wife，Betty.
Betty： So happy to meet you both.─sit down，just make yourself at home.
D&J： Thank you.
Joanna：What a lovely house！Did you make it yourself，Mrs. Johnson？
Betty ： Oh， call me Beth. Yes， I did the decorating…if you can call it that. Actually， I just tried to make it as simple as possible.I don't like a lot of frills.
Jonna： Oh，me，the same！ That's why I think it's so beautiful.
2．对话要点分析
1.) David，we're so glad you could make it.
We're so glad you could make it. 意思是：We're so glad you could finally come.
Did you make it yourself 意思是 Did you decorate it yourself？
I just tried to make it as simple as possible 意思是 I just tried to decorate it as simple as possible
“make”在口语中表达意思和应用功能很多，大家要特别注意积累与它相关的习语和句型。
2.) I've heard a lot about you.
初次见面，当然要说一些客套话，中文里的“久仰大名” ，在英语口语中就变为了 I've heard
a lot about you.或者是 I've often heard about you.
3.) So happy to meet you both.
如果初次和两个人见面，就可以在句末加上 both.如果是两个人以上，可以说
Nice to meet you all.
4.) Just make yourself at home.
客人来访，通常要说“请别拘束” ，那么英语就是用以上这个句子。
5.) What a lovely house！
这是客套话，类似的还有 What a lovely car! What a nice garden! What a cute child!
6.) Call me Beth.
即使刚认识，美国人也更加愿意让对方叫自己的名字，而非姓氏，这样会显得彼此的关系更
加亲密些。
Meeting for the first time
1．情景会话
(David goes to the airport to meet Joanna's uncle， Dr. Johnson. This is the first time they
meet. )
Dave： Excuse me，are you Dr. Smith？
Dr. Smith： Yes I am. And you...
Dave： I'm David，Joanna's husband. She has to be at work late today. So she asked me
to pick you up here.
Dr. Smith： So nice to meet you，David. Call me Bill. It's very nice of you to come here.
David： My pleasure....
2．对话要点分析
1.) Excuse me，are you Dr. Smith？
Excuse me 这个短句可以引起别人的注意，也让自己的问话显得更加礼貌。
2.) She asked me to pick you up here.
Pick sb. up 是非常口语化的说法，即“去接某人” 。
3.) My pleasure. At your service.(B)
在正式场合，当别人对你表达谢意时，可以说 My pleasure,即“ （为您效劳）是我的荣幸” 。
Introducing People
1．介绍认识
Alice： Mary，this is Joe's brother David.
Mary： I'm very glad to meet you.
Carl： It's a pleasure to meet you.
Mary： How do you like Texas so far？
Carl： It's really different from what I expected.
Mary： Don't worry. You'll get used to it in no time.
2．对话要点分析
1.) I'm very glad to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you.
自己被介绍时，以上两句都可以表达对对方的敬意。
2.) How do you like Texas so far？
意思是“到目前为止，你对德克萨斯印象如何？”询问对当地的印象，也是北美人初次认识
时经常谈到的话题之一。
类似的问法还有：
What's your impression of the United States？
What do you think of Dallas？
Meeting Again
1．重逢
Paul：Julie，is that you？
Julie：Yes. And you're Paul，right？Paul Hill？
Paul：Yes，it's me. And you're Julie Ashley. How are you？
Julie：I'm fine. After ten years，you still look great！
Paul：So do you！How are you doing？
Julie：Not bad. Let's find a table and sit down. We have a lot to talk about.
Paul：Okay，let's sit over there.
2．对话要点分析：
1.) You still look great！

You look so unique.
Great 在这里的意思就是“很棒” 。
2.) How are you doing？
这句话等同于 How are you? 但回答稍有不同，一般可以回答 Not bad. 或 I'm doing well.
Getting to know people
1．认识人
Donna： Hi. Sorry I'm late.
Bill： Oh， that's OK. We just got here. Donna， this is my fiancé， Mary. Mary， this is my
old friend，Donna. We went to school together.

Mary： I heard you like golf.
Donna： I love it! We played six different golf courses. Do you play？
Mary： I sure do! How about a game this weekend？
Bill： Uh-oh. I was afraid of this.
2．对话要点分析：
