1.Do you know how to play charades?

你們知道怎么玩猜啞謎游戲嗎？

“how to play charades”為疑問(wèn)詞帶動(dòng)詞不定式構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)，不是完整句，不能單獨(dú)作為問(wèn)句。但這樣的短語(yǔ)可以放在某些動(dòng)詞之后。如直接說(shuō)“How to go to the park? ”是錯(cuò)誤的，但是可以說(shuō)“I wonder how to go to the park.” “Can you tell me how to go to the park? ”

2.You're sure you've never played?

你肯定你從來(lái)沒玩過(guò)嗎？ 這是一種核對(duì)事實(shí)的說(shuō)法。

3.You join in at any time.你隨便什么時(shí)候都可以參加進(jìn)來(lái)。

join in: 參加，加入。

4.OK, I've got one.好，有了。這里是指“我想出來(lái)了。我想到了一個(gè)?！?/p>

動(dòng)詞get是一個(gè)口語(yǔ)常用詞，在非正式的語(yǔ)境中，可以表達(dá)多種含義，如“得到，獲得，想到，猜到”，等等。本情境中就出現(xiàn)了多次。如：

We've got a movie.（我們已經(jīng)猜到是部電影。）

I got it!（我猜到了！我明白了?。?/p>

5.Sounds like no.sound like: 聽起來(lái)像…

6.That's it-show.就是show這個(gè)詞。That's it.: 就這樣，對(duì)啦，就是這個(gè)。

Molly: Carl, now you know charades.Why don't you join us?

Carl: I don't like charades.It's for babies.Molly: Oh, I like it.Carl: Well, they're babies.Betty: You're a sore loser.Tim: Yeah.Molly: No arguing.Save you voices.Between now and tomorrow you're all going to have your tonsils out.And you won't be able to speak for a while.So save your voices till then.Philip: Hi, gang.Hi, everybody.Well, what's going on?

Molly: I sure am glad to see you, Dr.Stewart.This is a rough group.Carl: I didn't want to play charades, so they're angry at me.Philip: Why don't you want to play?

Carl: Because I don't want to be here.I don't want my tonsils out.Philip: Why not?

Carl: Because my birthday is tomorrow.My mother promised me a birthday party with a clown.Molly: But you can have one when you go home, Carl.Carl: But my birthday is tomorrow.Philip: I'm sorry, Carl.Molly: Carl, you'll have your party when you go home.Carl: But it won't be on my birthday!And you promised me a surprise.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】

1.You're a sore loser.你是個(gè)輸不起的人。

a sore loser: 輸不起的人。用來(lái)形容一些玩游戲輸了，就表現(xiàn)得有失風(fēng)度的人。a sore loser 也可以叫 a bad loser。輸?shù)糜酗L(fēng)度的人叫 a good loser。

2.No arguing.別吵。No+動(dòng)名詞，構(gòu)成一個(gè)命令句，表示禁止做某事，用于阻止別人做某事，也常出現(xiàn)在告示上。又如:

No littering.（禁止亂扔果皮紙屑。）

No smoking.（禁止吸煙。）

3.Hi, gang.Hi, everybody.嗨，各位。兩句都是用很輕松隨便的口吻來(lái)向一群人打招呼的非正式短語(yǔ)。

gang: 一幫人，一群人。

4.Well, what's going on?

再干什么呢？怎么這么熱鬧??？也可以說(shuō)成 What's happening?

going on: 進(jìn)行，發(fā)生。

5.This is a rough group.這幫（孩子）可真不好對(duì)付。Molly在說(shuō)這這句話時(shí)帶有一種開玩笑的口氣。

6.I didn't want to play charades, so they're angry at me.我不想玩猜啞謎，所以他們都生我的氣了。

be angry at someone: 生某人的氣，對(duì)某人發(fā)怒。

7.My mother promised me a birthday party with a clown.我媽媽答應(yīng)給我舉辦生日慶祝會(huì)，并請(qǐng)小丑來(lái)助興。

promise someone something: 答應(yīng)給某人以某物，承諾給某人某物。

第三篇：走遍美國(guó)文本及筆記1-1

第 1 課：林登大街 46 號(hào) ACT 1 – 2
ACT 1-1 “我可以給您和您的小男孩拍張照嗎？” 我可以給您和您的小男孩拍張照嗎？ 我可以給您和您的小男孩拍張照嗎 【故事梗概】 故事梗概】 自由攝影藝術(shù)家 Richard Stewart，正在為編出自己的影集《走遍美國(guó)》到處拍照。今天他在由紐約市曼哈頓區(qū)到斯塔滕島的渡船上工作，回程中遇到了來(lái)自加州的一 位黑人婦女 Martha Vann 和她的小兒子 Gerald。Richard 想要給他們拍照。Richard: Excuse me.My name is Richard Stewart.I'm a photographer.May I take a picture of you and your little boy? Mrs.Vann: What's it for? Richard: It's for a book.Mrs.Vann: You're writing a book? Richard: It's a book of pictures.I call it Family Album, U.S.A.Mrs.Vann: Oh, that's a nice idea.Well, it's fine if you take our picture.I'm Martha Vann.Richard: Thank you.I appreciate your help.I'm Richard.What's your name? Gerald: Gerald.Richard: How old are you, Gerald? Gerald: Five.Richard: And where do you live? Mrs.Vann: We live in California.Richard: Well, welcome to New York.OK, just a second.I'm almost ready here.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】 語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】 1.Excuse me.My name is Richard Stewart.I'm a photographer.這是 Richard 在與陌生人搭訕并介紹自己。Excuse me 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)用來(lái)引起對(duì)方的注意。相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“對(duì)不起，勞駕”。

自我介紹時(shí)可以先介紹自己的名字，再說(shuō)明自己的職業(yè)。介紹自己的名字時(shí)，可以像 Richard 一樣，說(shuō) My name is Richard Stewart.也可以像 Mrs.Vann 那樣，說(shuō) I'm Martha Vann.2.May I take a picture of you and your little boy? May I...是一種很禮貌的征求別人的同意的說(shuō)法，相當(dāng)于“我可以...嗎？”。Richard 想要為 Mrs.Vann 母子拍照片，他首先要征得當(dāng)事人的同意，否則鬧出 肖像權(quán)的問(wèn)題可不是好玩滴~~ 3.I appreciate your help.這是在受別人幫助或聽了別人的忠告之后的感謝語(yǔ)。在 Richard 向 Mrs.Vann 說(shuō) 明了照片的用途后，Mrs.Vann 欣然接受拍照的請(qǐng)求，之后 Richard 立即向?qū)Ψ奖?達(dá)了感謝。這里也可以說(shuō) I really appreciate it.4.Welcome to New York.Welcome to… 是迎接客人的客套語(yǔ)。Richard 與 Mrs.Vann 母子攀談幾句后得 知母子二人來(lái)自于 California，于是 Richard 對(duì)他們說(shuō)，歡迎到紐約來(lái)。又例如：Welcome to HJ English.ACT 1-2 “我可以幫忙嗎？” 我可以幫忙嗎？ 我可以幫忙嗎 【故事梗概】 故事梗概】 Richard 準(zhǔn)備為 Mrs.Vann 母子拍照，他需要使用反光板。這時(shí)，一位來(lái)自希臘的 交換生 Alexandra 主動(dòng)提出要幫助他。照片順利的拍完了。Richard 感謝了 Alexandra 并開始與她交談。

Richard: OK, Just a second.I'm almost ready here.Alexadra: Can I help you? Richard: Oh, please.Hold Gerald's hand, please.Great!Now point to the buildings.Terrific!Give Mommy a kiss, Geral

d.Nice!Thank you, Gerald.And thank you, Mrs Vann.Mrs.Vann: Oh, my pleasure.We'll be looking for your book.

Richard: Thank you.Good-bye.Bye, Gerald.Thanks again.Alexandra: Oh, you're welcome.Richard: Hey, let me take your picture!Alexandra: Wonderful.Please.Richard: Are you from New York? Alexandra: No, I'm from Greece.I'm an exchange student.Richard: When did you come here? Alexandra: Three months ago.Richard: Your English is very good.Alexandra: Thanks.I studied English in school.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】 語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】 1.Can I help you? 在為別人提供幫助前，我們可以說(shuō) Can I help you? 也可以說(shuō) Let me...（讓我，允許我），如本文中，Richard 對(duì) Alexandra 說(shuō)“Hey, let me take your picture!” 但是這種說(shuō)法沒有 Can I...的禮貌程度高。如果我們?cè)敢饨邮軒椭瑒t可以回答“Oh, please.” 或者“Yes, please.”。也可以 像 Alexandra 那樣很可愛的講“Wonderful.Please.” 2.Great!/ Terrific!/ Nice!在拍照的過(guò)程中，Mrs.Vann 母子每在他的要求下擺一個(gè)新的姿勢(shì)，Richard 都會(huì) 對(duì)他們的配合給予肯定。他用到的“Great!Terrific!Nice!” 都是用來(lái)表示“太好了，好極了，很好”的意思。3.We'll be looking for your book.這里的 look for 是尋找的意思。4.My pleasure./ You're welcome.當(dāng)別人對(duì)你表示感謝時(shí)，可以用“My pleasure.”或者“You're welcome.”來(lái)進(jìn)行回 應(yīng)。

ACT 1-3 “ 你想來(lái)點(diǎn)咖啡嗎？” 你想來(lái)點(diǎn)咖啡嗎？ 【故事梗概】 故事梗概】 在交談中，Alexandra 表示希望了解一下 Richard 的書。于是 Richard 向她展示 了自己為這本書拍的一些照片。同時(shí)，Richard 也向她展示了自己家人的照片。下面，上音頻~~

Richard: Your English is very good.Alexandra: Thanks.I studied English in school.Richard: Would you like some coffee? Alexandra: No, thank you.Tell me about your book.Richard: Oh, it's not finished yet, but I have some of the pictures.Would you like to see them? Alexandra: Yes, I'd like that.Richard: Here they are.Family Album, U.S.A..It's an album of pictures of the United States: the cities, the special places, and the people.And these are pictures of people working: steel workers, bankers, police, street vendors, ambulance drivers, doctors...Oh, this is my father.He's a doctor.This is my mother.Alexandra: What's her name? Richard: Ellen.My younger brother, Robbie.He goes to high school.This is my sister Susan.She works for a toy company.Here's my grandfather.He lives in Florida.And this is my wife Marilyn.Alexandra: Oh, she's very pretty.Richard: Thanks.【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】 語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】 1.Would you like some coffee?

Would you like...相當(dāng)于“你想要...嗎？”，在客氣地請(qǐng)對(duì)方做某事或請(qǐng)客時(shí)用。如本文中，Richard 問(wèn) Alexandra“想來(lái)一點(diǎn)咖啡嗎”，他說(shuō) “Would you like some coffee?” 在談到自己的書 Family Album, U.S.A.時(shí)，他問(wèn)對(duì)方“想要看

看一看嗎”，“Would you like to see them?” 如果我們不想接受，就說(shuō)“No, thank you.” 如果愿意接受，則說(shuō)“Yes.I'd like that.” 或者“Yes.Please.” 2.Here they are.把東西給別人看時(shí)用。單數(shù)時(shí)用 Here it is.3.Thanks.在本情境中出現(xiàn)的兩次“Thanks”都是對(duì)于別人贊美的回應(yīng)。稱贊對(duì)方，或?qū)Ψ降募胰?，是美?guó)人很重要的一種社交習(xí)慣，被人稱贊時(shí)，要表示 樂于接受并愉快地感謝，不要急于否認(rèn)或自貶，也不要表現(xiàn)得扭捏不安。所以無(wú)論 是人家說(shuō)你的英語(yǔ)好--“Your English is very good.”，還是稱贊你的夫人很漂亮--“Oh, she's very pretty.”，都不必不好意思，只要說(shuō)聲 “Thank you” 就可以 了。ACT 1-4 “ 很高興認(rèn)識(shí)你?！?很高興認(rèn)識(shí)你?！竟适鹿８拧?故事梗概】 Richard 問(wèn)到了 Alexandra 的家庭及個(gè)人情況。在交談中，Richard 突然想起了與 自己的妻子還有約定，于是與 Alexandra 匆匆告辭，下船離開。這時(shí) Alexandra 發(fā)現(xiàn)他忘了拿一個(gè)挎包。她拿起它，趕緊追他……

Richard: And what about your family? Alexandra: They're in Thessaloniki.That's a large city in northern Greece.But now I'm living in the Bronx.Richard: With a Greek-American family?

Alexandra: No.Hispanic.Richard: Oh no!It's five thirty.Will you excuse me?

May I...是一種很禮貌的征求別人的同意的說(shuō)法，相當(dāng)于“我可以...嗎？”。

Richard 想要為Mrs.Vann 母子拍照片，他首先要征得當(dāng)事人的同意，否則鬧出肖像權(quán)的問(wèn)題可不是好玩滴~~
