【课文翻译】
凯瑟琳:伊恩已他的房子卖掉了吗?
詹 尼:是的,卖掉了。他上星期卖掉的。
凯瑟琳:他已经迁进新居了吗?
詹 尼:不,还没有。他仍在这里。他打算明天搬家。
凯瑟琳:什么时候?明天上午吗?
詹 尼:不,明天下午。我会想念他的。他一直是个好邻居。
琳 达:他是个非常好的人,我们大家都会想念他的。
凯瑟琳:新住户什么时候搬进这所房子?
詹 尼:我想他们将会在后天搬进来吧。
琳 达:詹尼,您今天会见到伊恩吗?
詹 尼:是的,我会见到他。
琳 达:请代我问候他。
凯瑟琳:可怜的伊恩!他本不想离开这幢房子。
詹 尼:是啊,他是不想离开,可是他妻子要离开。
【生词】
still adv. 还,仍旧
move v. 搬家
miss v. 想念,思念
neighbor n. 邻居
person n. 人
people n. 人们
poor adj. 可怜的
【知识点讲解】
1. 本课当中我们终于接触到了第一个从句:I think that they'll move in the day after tomorrow.(我想他们后天搬进来。)这是一个宾语从句,大家在这里只要有一个简单的印象就好,不用太纠结。这句话中I think that... 是主句,意思是我想……; they'll move in the day after tomorrow. 他们后天搬进来,这后半句是一个完整的句子,就是从句了。
2. 课文最后两句对话:
CATHERING: Poor Ian! He didn't want to leave this house.
JENNY: No, he didn't want to leave, but his wife did!
请注意Jenny的回答"No, he didn't..."是对前面Cathering观点的肯定。这里使用"No"开头,和我们中文的习惯不太一样。大家可以理解为Jenny在顺着Cathering的话说,但翻译成中文时就要改成汉语习惯,译为:是啊,他不想离开。
3. Poor Ian,意思是可怜的伊恩。英文中常用Poor XX来表达同情。如果朋友遭遇不幸,你可以说"You poor little thing." 你这可怜的小东西!—— 来安慰对方。

表示更精确到分钟的方法有两种。比如8点20分,可以直接按顺序说出数字:It's eight twenty;也可以先说分秒,再说整点:It's twenty past eight.
半点和15分钟有特别的表达方式,比如8点半,可以说成eight thirty,也可以说成half past eight;一刻钟也可说成a quarter,比如8点15分可说成eight fifteen,或a quarter past eight(注意不能说成eight a quarter);或者差一刻9点,可表达为eight fourty five,也可以说成a quarter to nine.
2. return ticket,往返票;在美式英语中讲 round ticket.
3. in five hours' time 意思是5小时之后。

这是一个基本的反义疑问句,也称为附加疑问句,附加疑问句中的前后两部分的谓语在时态、人称和数上都要一致。回答这种问句时要简略,要根据事实回答。如果答语本身是肯定的,就用 Yes;如果答语本身是否定的,就用 No。

Lesson 105 Full of mistakes
【课文】
THE BOSS:Where's Sandra, Bob? I want her.
BOB: Do you want to speak to her?
THE BOSS:Yes, I do. I want her to come to my office. Tell her to come at once.
SANDRA: Did you want to see me?
THE BOSS:Ah, yes, Sandra. How do you spell "intelligent'? Can you tell me?
SANDRA: I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T.
THE BOSS:That's right. You've typed it with only one 'L'. This letter's full of mistakes. I want you to type it again.
SANDRA: Yes, I'll do that. I'm sorry about that.
THE BOSS:And here's a little present for you.
SANDRA: What's it?
THE BOSS:It's a dictionary. I hope it'll help you.

老 板:鲍勃,桑德拉在哪儿?我要找她。
鲍 勃:您要同她谈话吗?
老 板:是的,我要她到我的办公室来。叫她马上就来。
桑德拉:您找我吗?
老 板:啊,是的,桑德拉。"intelligent" 怎样拼写?你能告诉我吗?
桑德拉:I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T。
老 板:对的。但你只打了1个“L”。 这封信里错误百出。我要你重打一遍。
桑德拉:是,我重打。对此我感到很抱歉。
老 板:这里有一件小礼物送你。
桑德拉:是什么?
老 板:是本词典。我希望它能对你有所帮助。
【生词】
spell v. 拼写
intelligent adj. 聪明的,有智慧的
mistake n. 错误
present n. 礼物
dictionary n. 词典
【知识点讲解】
1. 今天我们初步介绍动词不定式:正如课本中出现的'Do you want to speak to her?', 'Tell her to come at once'.中 want to do/tell sb to do,动词后边都有动词不定式的结构,即(to+V). want to do表示想做……,有此结构的词,还有plan, decide, 而tell sb to do,表示告诉某人做……,此类结构的词,比如order, require, request等。动词不定式的搭配不胜枚举,关键的还是大家对这种结构有一个初步的了解,在今后的学习中多接触,多积累。
2 课文的题目,Full of mistakes, 错误百出。题目中的full of 是一个结构,通常的使用是be full of+ n,表示装满/充满了……,比如说瓶子里满是水。The bottle is full of water. “想想瓶子里装满了牛奶。”应该怎么说呢?
3 我们再来讲讲mistake这个单词,mistake,n 错误,比如犯错误,make mistakes/make a mistake.
4 最后,我们来讲讲and这个连词。连词,顾名思义就是把事物连在一起的词。比如说,你和我,就是you and me. 他打开门进来了,He opened the door and walked in (and 在这里就是连起两个动作)。同时,and 还可以连接两个句子,有承上启下的作用,如课文中的 And here's a little present for you. 有并列,递进的关系。

一. 今天我们讲讲比较级:
英语中,将两个主体进行比较,如“A比B更……”的表达方式,我们称之为比较级。(强调两者之间的比较时,会出现“than”这个标志词,但如果对比的主体很明确时,可以把“than”省掉。)
当比较的主体不止两个时,如“A是最……”的表达方式时,我们使用最高级。组成句子的方式是将形容词或副词变化成比较级,最高级的形态。今天我们重点讨论形容词的比较级与最高级。
比较级,最高级的变化的一般规则:
1.大部分情况下,比较级在后面加-er,最高级在后面加-est;如:small→smaller→smallest, short→shorter→shortest, clever→cleverer→cleverest, narrow→narrower→narrowest
2.以不发音e结尾的单音节词,比较级在原级后加-r,最高级在原级后加-st;如:large→larger→largest, nice→nicer→nicest
3.在重读闭音节(即:辅音+元音+辅音)中,先双写末尾的辅音字母,比较级加-er,最高级加-est;如:big→bigger→biggest, hot→hotter→hottest
4.以“辅音字母+y”结尾的双音节词, 把y改为i,比较级加-er,最高级加-est; 如:easy→easier→easiest, heavy→heavier→heaviest
5.其他双音节词和多音节词(一个元音为一个音节),比较级在前面加more,最高级在前面加most;如:beautiful→more beautiful→most beautiful different→more different→most different tired→more tired→most tired (很重要,也很特殊)
二. 委婉语的用法。
委婉,有礼貌地询问对方,我们可以使用这样的句型:Would you +V? 或者是Could you+V? 意思是,你想……吗?或者你要……吗?如:Would you like a cup of coffee?你要来杯咖啡吗?
三. 挑选衣服必备语:
款式:It is lovely/smart/pretty. 衣服漂亮,好看。 It is in fashion now.现在正流行这款。
大小:It is too small/large for me. 对我来说,太大或太小。It is my size. 大小刚刚好。
适合度: It suits me well./ It doesn't suit me at all. 衣服很合适/一点也不合适。
试一试: Would you like to try it/them? Would you like to try it/them on? 要不你试试?
换另外的: Could/Would you show me another one? 给我另外一件,好吗?

teaspoonful n. 一满茶匙
less adj. (little 的比较级)较少的,更小的
a few 几个(用于可数名词之前)

advice n. 建议,忠告
【知识点讲解】
一. 今天我们继续讲比较级:
在107课,我们介绍了比较与最高级的变化的一般规律,但是比较级跟最高级也有特殊的变化,下面列举其中的一小部分,供大家参考。但更多的不规则变化,需要同学们在今后的学习中不断地去积累与巩固。
good/well-better-best(好的) bad/badly-worse-worst(坏的) old-older/elder-oldest/eldest (老的,年长的) much/many-more-most (多的) little/few-less-least (少的) far-farther/further-farthest/furthest(远的)
小问题:本课中有比较级,最高级的不规则变化吗?
二. 在征询别人意见的时候,可以这么说:Shall I+V? 我可以……?“我可以在你房间吸烟吗?”应该怎么说呢?
三. 建议的提出与采纳用语:
提出建议:What about+n/Ving或 How about+n/Ving? 或者是Why not+ V?/Let's + V.
小问题:“去公园走走,怎样?”又应该怎样说呢?
采纳用语: That's a good idea! 好主意! It sounds good/nice/pretty!听起来不错!
考虑中: Give me some minutes to think about it! 给我点时间考虑一下。
四:部分重点单词讲解:
1. a few 与a little都表示一点,一些,但跟在它们后边的名词是不一样的,a few 是用来形容可数名词,而 a little 则用来形容不可数名词。这种区别同样适用于few&little,many&much (每一组的前者均修饰可数名词,后者修饰不可数名词)。
2. teaspoonful adj. 一茶匙的,满茶匙的;这是一个合成词,由teapoon(茶匙)+ful两部分合成。ful是后缀,表示满的(=full)。此类的词有很多,请同学们猜猜这些词都是什么意思? handful, mouthful, thankful, careful, hopeful.
3. 口语常用语: What a pity!真遗憾! It doesn't matter. 没关系。 That's very good advice. 这是极好的忠告!(其中advice 是一个不可数名词,如果表示“一条建议”,我们可以说 a piece of advice。)
