"Pardon me?"以及"I'm sorry."均表『对不起。』, 但使用时大有不同。 a."Excuse me."多用于表『打扰对方』。换言之, 我们在向对方问路,请人让路时, 即用此语。 例: Excuse me, but could you show me the way to the post office? (对不起，你能告诉我怎么去邮局吗,) b."Pardon me?"则多用于请对方重述说过的话, 以确定其意。 例: A: You have to get the work done by five. B: Pardon me? A: I mean you must finish the work by five. (甲: 你得在五点前把工作做完。) (乙: 对不起，请再说一遍好吗,) (甲: 我是说，你必须在五点前做完工作。) 注意: 1)"Pardon me?"虽只有两个字, 但却等于『对不起, 请再说一遍好吗,』, 无须写成: Pardon me, but would you say that again? 2)"Pardon me?"乃"Will you pardon me?"化简而成。 亦有下列说法: Pardon me? =May I beg your pardon? =Beg your pardon? =Pardon? c."I'm sorry."多于造成对方不便时使用。如踩到对方的脚、碰到对方、打破玻璃杯, 或告诉对方一则坏消息等。 例: I'm sorry, but I'm late again. (很抱歉，我又迟到了。) I'm sorry to tell you that Mary has left. (很抱歉告诉你玛丽已经离开了。) 注意: 以上表『对不起』的用语, "Excuse me."及"I'm sorry."均以but作连接词, 连接之后的 另一句子, 但这个but并无意义, 不要译成『但是』。 例: Excuse me, but how can I get to the station? =Excuse me. How can I get to the station? (对不起，车站怎么个走法,) I'm sorry, but I must be leaving now. =I'm sorry. I must be leaving now. =I'm sorry (that) I must be leaving now. (对不起，我必须走了。) 2.actual a. 实际的 例: The actual cost was higher than we expected. (实际价格比我们预期的高。) 3.flying time 飞航时间 注意: flying为动名词做形容词用, 修饰time, flying乃由动词fly变化而成。 fly vi. 飞 & vt. 驾驶 (飞机) 三态为: fly、flew、flown。 ,flown只用在完成式中, 亦即have/has/had flown。 例: A bird can fly around. (鸟能飞来飞去。) The plane has flown 20 hours. (飞机已飞了二十小时。) My father, a pilot, flew that plane ten years ago. (我爸爸是名飞行员，十年前曾驾驶那架飞机。) 不过fly亦可作名词, 表『苍蝇』或『裤裆』。 例: Anything that has been touched by flies shouldn't be eaten. (苍蝇所沾过的任何东西都不能吃。) His fly is open. Tell him to zip it up. (他的裤裆开了，叫他把拉炼拉起来。) 当你在众人之前突然发现自己的『石门水库』大开时, 怎么办呢,急匆匆的拉上裤裆吗,不, 那多失礼不好意思啊, 况且在那匆促之间, 一不小心把『那话儿』拉伤了, 怎生得了呢,依雄哥自己的经验是, 赶快找些话题转移别人的注意力。比如说: 我的阿珠不是来了吗,怎么不见了,然后东张西望一下,顺便转身故作搜寻手机状, 此时, 才不慌不忙的把裤裆轻轻带上。如此, 既不穿帮又不失礼,在轻轻松松的情况下就掩护过去了, 岂不甚妙吗,～ 4.arrive vi. 到达 ,这个字通常与介词at或in并用。 arrive in + 大地方 (都市、州、省、县) arrive at + 小地方 (车站、学校、邮局等建筑物) =get to + 大小地方 =reach + 大小地方 例: By the time I arrived in Taipei, it was night. (等到我抵达台北时已是晚上了。) 5.local a. 本地的, 当地的 例: Most of the local people are farmers. (本地多数人是务农的。) 句型运用 1.What's the flying time from A to B? =What's the flying time between A and B? =How long does it take to fly from A to B? 从A到B的飞航时间要多久, 例: What's the flying time from Taipei to Hong Kong? =What's the flying time between Taipei and Hong Kong? =How long does it take to fly from Taipei to Hong Kong? (从台北到香港的飞行时间要多久呢,) 2.Let me see. 让我想想看。 ,这句话可用来拖延时间, 整理思绪, 功能如同"Well,..." (呃,……) 一样, 不妨在会话中 多加使用。 例: James: Darling, where is my necktie? Alice: Oh, let me see. It's in the closet. (詹姆士: 亲爱的，我的领带在哪儿呢,) (爱丽丝: 哦，让我想一下。它在衣橱里。) Unit 5飞机上询问时差 Y: Excuse me. What's the time difference between Taipei and San Francisco? X: 16 hours. Taipei is 16 hours ahead. Y: Are we losing or gaining a day on the way to America? X: We are gaining a day. Y: So does it mean we're arriving on the same day? X: That's right. Y: 对不起。台北和旧金山的时差是多少, X: 十六小时。台北的时间快十六个小时。 Y: 到美国我们在时间上是慢一天或快一天呢, X: 快一天。 Y: 那就是说我们在同一天抵达吗, X: 不错。 字词词组精解 1.time difference 时差, 时间上的差异 例: What's the time difference between Taipei and Tokyo? (台北和东京的时差是多少呢,) The time difference between Taipei and London is eight hours. (台北和伦敦的时差是八个小时。) 2.ahead adv. 在前面, 在前头 ahead of... 在……之前 例: He ran ahead of me. (他跑在我前头。) ,您还记得第一课我们曾说过的一个词组吗, ahead of schedule 在预定时刻之前 例: The train arrived ahead of schedule. (火车提前到站。) 3.lose vt. 失去 动词三态为: lose、lost、lost。 ,losing为lose的现在分词。 文中losing a day照字面之义为『失去一天』, 不过真正意义却是『慢一天』或『多一天』才对, 相同地, gaining a day就是『快一天』或 『少一天』之意。 例: Don't lose your key. (别把钥匙弄丢了。) This clock loses ten minutes a day. (这个钟每天慢十分钟。) My watch gains five minutes an hour. (我的手表每小时快五分钟。) 注意: lose和gain这二个字有另外一个重要用法, 是日常生活中常提及的: lose weight 人变瘦 gain weight 人变胖 例: Robert only eats fruit and is quickly losing weight. (罗伯只吃水果，因而很快变瘦了。) Peter is gaining weight; he should go on a diet. (彼得变胖了，他应该节食。) 雄哥是个工作狂，每天工作都在十六个小时以上, 因此体力消耗极大。为了维持所需energy (n.) 活力, 解决之道便是有空就吃、拿到就喝, 所以近一百公斤的体重也是其来有自的。雄嫂眼见雄哥日渐发福的身材, 只好命令他: "You should go on a diet [ da t ]."或"You should be on a diet." (你该节食了。) 否则就不理胖雄哥了。 4.on the way to + 地方名词 在到……的途上 =on one's way to + 地方名词 例: I met an old friend on the way to school. =I met an old friend on my way to school. (在上学路上，我遇到了一位老友。) 注意: on the/one's way to之后接地方副词, 如: home, here, there或downtown等字时, 则不可再置入介系词to。 例: I saw a cow on my way home. 地方副词 (我在回家的路上看到一只牛。) I met my ex-girlfriend on my way downtown. 地方副词 (我在到市区的路上遇到了前女友。) 句型运用 1.Does it mean + that 子句? 这意谓……吗, ,使用本句时, 一般是在对方讲过话后, 再次确定其真正意思, 句中that所引导的子句, 通常可省略掉that。 例: Carlos: Have a nice trip to Malaysia. James: Thanks! But does it (或that) mean (that) you're not coming with us? (卡洛士: 马来西亚之行愉快。) (詹姆士: 谢谢～但这是不是表示你不和我们同去呢,) 2.That's right. 的确如此。 此句一般用在对方询问时, 所作表肯定的答话, 常用的还有"Of course." (当然。) 或 "Sure." (确是如此。) 例: A: Will you go on a picnic tomorrow? B: That's right. (甲: 你明天要去野餐吗,) (乙: 对的。) Unit 6 在机舱内与人换位子 Y: Excuse me. Would you mind trading seats with me? X: Not at all. Y: Oh, thank you. That's very kind of you. X: You're welcome. I prefer a window seat. Y: Oh, you do? Good. Looking out of the window sometimes scares me. So I prefer to be the man in the middle. Y: 对不起。您介意和我换位子吗, X: 不会啊～ Y: 哦，谢谢您。您真好。 X: 不客气。我较喜欢窗边的位子。 Y: 哦，真的,很好。向窗外看有时会让我害怕。因此我较喜欢坐在中间的位子。 字词词组精解 1.mind vt. 介意, 在意 a.mind当『介意』解时, 其后通常接动名词。 例: Would you mind opening the door? 动名词 (请问你在意打开门吗,) Would you mind lending me some money? 动名词 (请问你介意借我一些钱吗,) b.回答此类询问时, 若是表『不介意』, 千万不可用『Yes』回答, 因为那即表示了『是的, 我很介意……』, 我们欲表『不在意』的正确答话, 应是: Not at all. (一点也不介意。) 或Of course not. (当然不介意。) c.若果真『介意』时, 总不能硬着头皮说"Yes."或"Of course."然后让自己身心遭殃吧,此时, 我们就该这么说了: "Well,..."然后耸耸肩, 摇头晃脑一阵, 人家就知道你是什么意思了。 d.mind尚有下列重要用法: 1)当别人因某事向我们道谢时, 我们应客气回答"Never mind." (别客 气。) 例: A: Thank you very much. B: Never mind. =Not at all. =You're welcome. (甲: 非常谢谢你。) (乙: 别客气。) 2)若我们向别人请求帮助, 而对方因不便而推辞时, 我们就说"Never mind." (没关系。) 例: A: Sorry, I cannot help you. B: Never mind. (= That's all right.) (甲: 抱歉，我不能帮助你。) (乙: 没关系。) 2.trade vt. 交换 (位子、产品、货物等) & n. 生意, 贸易 trade seats with sb 与某人交换位子 trade A for B 用A来交换B 例: I'd like to sit by the window; may I trade seats with you? (我喜欢窗边座位，可以和你换位子吗,) Tom wanted to trade his ball for Bill's toy truck. (汤姆想用球换比尔的玩具卡车。) 3.seat n. 位子, 座位 ,这个字是很常用且重要的, 雄哥在第二单元里, 才刚刚详细的说明过, 这儿就不再重复, 请诸位有空『温故』一下旧功课, 那么也就可以『知新』了。 4.prefer vt. 比较喜欢 (通常指在两项事物中做一选择) 须注意prefer有两个常用而重要的用法: a.prefer A to B 较喜欢A而不喜欢B (to是介系词, 表"针对"B而言) 例: I prefer apples to bananas. (我较喜欢苹果而不喜欢香蕉。) I prefer staying home to going out with them. (我宁愿留在家而不愿与他们外出。) b.prefer to + 原形动词 + instead of + 动名词 rather than + 原形动词 例: I prefer to study instead of playing with him. rather than play with him. (我宁愿读书而不愿与他玩。) 5.scare [ sk r ] vt. 使害怕, 使吃惊 例: My brother likes to scare me. (我哥哥喜欢吓我。) 句型运用 1.Would you mind + 动名词 你介意……吗, Would you mind + if 过去式子句, 例: Would you mind lending me your dictionary? =Would you mind if I borrowed your dictionary? (你在意把字典借给我吗,) 注意: a.would开头的疑问句, 表示一种婉转语气。 b.if子句中用过去式, 乃因would you mind中的would是过去式助动词, 所以if子句中的动词时态亦得用过去式, 以求全句时态的对称。 但若助动词是现在式do时, 则if子句中的动词则采现在式。 例: Would you mind if I opened the window?(客气) =Do you mind if I open the window? (较不客气) (你介意我开窗吗,) 2.That's very kind of you. 你真好。 此句通常用在别人帮忙我们后, 表示感谢的客气话。 例: Bob: John, I have finished painting the wall. John: Thank you very much. That's very kind of you.

(玛丽面色苍白。) 2.kind of... 有一点…… ,本文中的kind of是副词, 表示『有一点』之意, 类似用法尚有"sort of", 其后均可接形容词、副词或动词。 kind of + 形容词 有一点…… sort of 副词 动词 例: He is kind of ugly. (他有点丑。) James sort of wants to kiss me. (詹姆士有一点想吻我的意思。) 注意: a.the/a kind of及the/a sort of则是词组形容词, 后须接名词, 且名词前不可再有冠词, 因为kind of及sort of之前, 已有冠词"the/a"了。 例: Peter is the kind of a man who works hard. ( ) ?Peter is the kind of man who works hard. (?) =Peter is the sort of man who works hard. (彼得是个工作认真的人。) b.在口语中, kind of (有一点) 常因连音关系说成kinda, 而sort of则说成sorta。 例: I feel kinda tired today. (我今天觉得有点累。) 3.sick a. 有病的, 欲呕的 sick这个字通常可用ill替代。 重要成语: fall ill with... 因……而病倒 例: He was sick yesterday. =He was ill yesterday. (他昨天生病了。) Tom fell ill with a bad cold.

(在乱流之中，我把饮料弄翻了。) 句型运用 1.What's the matter? 怎么回事, =What's wrong? ,此句型通常用在看到有人出状况时询问对方的话。比如说哪天在河边看到一位姑娘嚎啕大哭, 此时, 雄哥的反应便是一个箭步窜过去, 用关爱的语气询问她: "What's the matter?" 小姐, 怎么回事啊, 例: Tom: Why are you crying? What's the matter? Mary: I didn't pass the examination. (汤姆: 你怎么哭了，怎么回事啊,) (玛丽: 我考试没过啊。) 2.Just a minute. 请等一下。 ,这句话其实前面省略了please wait这两个字, 它的原来句型应是"Please wait just a minute."

(马克曾经是个空服员。) A girl who wants to be a stewardess must be pretty and helpful. (想成为空中小姐的女孩必须漂亮而且乐于服务。) 2.madam n. 夫人; 女士 (对妇女的尊称) 例: Madam, may I help you?

(我昨天买了一本杂志。) 句型运用 1.May I have a magazine or something? 我可不可以拿本杂志或什么的, 通常名词之后的"or something"乃表示『或什么的』, 是一种口语的用法, 比如说: 『明天我会带书或什么的来。』 我们就该如此说: "I'll bring books or something tomorrow." 再举一例如下: 例: I need a pair of chopsticks or something to eat with. (我需要一双筷子或什么的来吃东西。) 2.I'll be right back with one. 我会立刻带一本你要的杂志过来。 这句话其实就等于: "I'll be back immediately with a magazine." 在此句中, right是表强调的副词,通常放在地方副词或地方副词词组的前面,比如有人问: "Where is John?" 约翰在哪里, 我们可回答说: "He is there." 他在那边。 但若我们要强调『他就在那边』时, 就说: "He is right there."或说: "He is right beside the window." 他就在窗户旁那儿。 在本句中"be right back"的right是强调其后back『回来』这个字, 此时"be right back"这个词组, 意即『马上就回来』, 而right就等于immediately 这个表时间的副词了。 Unit 9 向空服员要毯子 Y: Excuse me. X: Yes? Y: Could I have a blanket? X: I'm afraid there aren't any at the moment. Can you wait just a little while? Y: OK. I will. X: I'll bring you one as soon as I find one available.

( ) 因为如此一来, 就变成『你有没有在这儿卖书啊,』, 言下之意好象是说,若你有在这儿卖书的话, 我就要来抽地头税了, 那岂不冤哉枉也,好了, 再举例如下, 以供各位活用此单字: 例: Do you have the February issue of Reader's Digest available here? (你这儿有卖二月份的《读者文摘》吗,) Mr. Lee is available now. (李先生现在有空。) I will be available tomorrow. =I will be free tomorrow. =I will have time off tomorrow. (我明天有空。) I have two rooms available. 名词 形容词 (我有两间空余的房子。) 3.Would you, please? 那就麻烦你了。 ,本句乃是一省略句, 它在you的后面省掉了bring one这两字, 因此, 其原句型应是"Would you bring one, please?"意即『麻烦你拿给我一条毯子, 好吗,』 4.at the moment 此刻 ,这是一个极常用的时间副词, 通常置于句尾, 意为『此刻……』, 就等于"now"的意思。 例: I'm busy at the moment. =I'm busy now. (我此刻很忙。) 5.a little while 一会儿 例: I can only stay here (for) a little while. (我只能在这里待一会儿。) I've stayed here (for) a long while. (我已在此待了好一阵子了。) 句型运用 I'm afraid there aren't any at the moment. 现在恐怕没有毯子哦。 I'm afraid (that)... 恐怕…… 例: I'm afraid (that) it will rain tomorrow. (明天恐怕会下雨。) I'm afraid (that) the train has gone. (恐怕火车已经离开了。) 注意: afraid亦有下列用法: be afraid of + 动名词 害怕…… to + 原形动词 例: Tom is afraid of seeing a dentist. (汤姆害怕看牙医师。) Mary is afraid to enter the room alone. (玛丽不敢单独进入那房间。) Unit 10 在机上用餐后 X: What would you like for dessert, sir? We have a choice of cake or ice cream. Y: No, thank you. I don't need any. You see, I'm on a diet.

(罗伯除了留在家里外就别无选择。) 注意: option n. 选择, 选择的自由 alternative n. 两者间之选择, 两者择一 3.cake n. 蛋糕 这个字视情况不同, 而有可数名词和不可数名词之分, 如: a cake指的是『一个完整的蛋糕』, 此时cake是可数名词, 至于a piece of cake指的则是切下来的『一片蛋糕』, 这时cake就成不可数名词了。本文中的cake是不可数名词,为『一片蛋糕』之意, 乃省略了"a piece of"之故。不过, 有趣的是"a piece of cake"有时也解释为『事情很容易做』, 犹如吃蛋糕那般简单轻松, 例如: 例: Tom: What do you think of the job? Is it difficult? Mary: (It's a) piece of cake! (汤姆: 你觉得这工作怎么样,困难吗,) (玛丽: 简单啦～) 4.ice cream 冰淇淋 说到ice cream, 雄哥忍不住又要流口水了, 因为这是我最爱吃的东西, 雄哥每次吃冰淇淋, 不是一客、二客这样的吃, 而是十客、十一客、十二客这样吃到饱才停止, 哇, 好可怕是不是,不错, 喜欢吃嘛, 就要吃到饱、吃到过瘾为止。当然, 最喜欢吃的东西, 对它的用法也最清楚了, 比如说, 我们到冰淇淋店买『一杓冰淇淋』, 就应该说"a scoop [ skup ] of ice cream", 『二杓冰淇淋』就为"two scoops of ice cream", 但若我们到7-eleven便利商店去买『一个甜筒』时, 就应说"an ice cream cone [ kon ]", 『二个甜筒』则为"two ice cream cones"。 5.perhaps adv. 也许, 可能 ,这个字是表『也许』或『可能』的副词, 通常都放于句首, 就等于maybe的意思, 但诸位可要小心唷, 此时的"maybe"是合着写的, 而不是分开成二个字"may be" 的。 例: Perhaps he will come here this morning. =Maybe he will come here this morning. (也许今天早上他会来这儿。) He may be a good student. =Maybe he is a good student. (他也许是个好学生。) 6.instead adv. 代替, 更换, 相反地, 取而代之地 ,使用此字时, 通常放在句尾, 表『代替』之意, 但也可用在两个对称的概念上, 表『相反地』的意思。 例: Please give me this book instead. (请换这本书给我。) He is not good. He is bad instead. (他不好，相反地，他很坏。) 注意: instead尚有下列两个重要的用法: a.instead of Ving 非但不……反而…… 例: Instead of working hard, he fools around. (他非但不用功，反而在混日子。) b.instead of N 取而代之 例: He attended the meeting instead of me. (他取代我出席那会议。) 句型运用 What would you like for dessert? 你喜欢什么当甜点呢, 在此句型中, for是介系词, 表『当做』, 其后可接表三餐的名词。 例: Mary: What would you like for dinner? John: I want fish for dinner. (玛丽: 你喜欢吃什么当晚餐呢,) (约翰: 我要吃鱼。) 然而, 当表某人正在吃饭时, 其介系词就不再用for, 而要用at了, 就形成『主词 + be动词 + at + 表三餐的名词』的句构, 举例如下: 例: John is at dinner now. (约翰正在吃晚餐。) Unit 11 入境询问 X: How long are you staying? Y: Four weeks.

(比尔今天没来，他请病假。) Policemen can't drink on duty. (警员在值班时不可喝酒。) I was on vacation in Kenting last week. (上星期我到垦丁去度假。) My boss is in Hong Kong on business.

Y: 对不起，你是史密斯先生吗, X: 不，我不是。 Y: 哦，真抱歉。 X: 没关系。 字词词组精解 本单元字词简单, 每个字连国一生都看得懂, 因此, 雄哥就偷懒一下不讲了,咱们下课好不好,～ 句型运用 That's all right. 没关系。 1.这是一句很常用的客气话, 使用到的机会很多, 比如说: 当别人向我们表示歉意或对不起时, 我们即可用这句客气话说『不要紧』、『没关系』, 同样地, 别人当然亦可用这句话向我们说『不要紧』、『没关系』。 例: A: I hope you don't mind my taking your younger sister out to dinner. B: That's all right. Go ahead. (甲: 希望你不介意我带你妹妹出去吃晚餐。) (乙: 没关系，请便。) 2.与这句话有相同意义的尚有: It doesn't matter. 不要紧; 没关系。 例: It doesn't matter if you're busy; just make sure you bring home the house money every month.
