Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话
Last week I went to the theater. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man
and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. "I can't hear a word!" I said angrily." It's none of your business," the young man said rudely. "This is a private conversation!"
Part 1 : simply words
(1)private adj.私人的
如果妈妈想看你的信, 你可以说 : It's my private letter.
如果陌生人想进你的房子, 你可以说 : It's my private house.
private life 私生活
由此引申出privacy n.隐私 : private life 私生活
It’s my privacy.这是我的隐私!(不愿让别人知道的)
英语极客是private school(私立学校), 与此相反, 公立学校是public school.所以, private的反义词是public.
eg.public 公众; public letter 公开信; public place 公共场所
private还有一个值得注意的意思 : 普通的.
如 : private citizen 普通公民:I’m a private citizen.
private soldier 大兵;
我们熟悉的《拯救大兵瑞恩》就是《Saving Private Ryan》

subject of conversation : 话题(天气是英国人最喜爱的话题)
尽量不谈:
salary,marriage,age,religion(宗教)
