Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book.
(1)Postcard :明信片
简写为card, 由此引申出 :
namecard/visiting card : 名片
Here is my namecard.(口语常用, 同时伴随着递出的动作)
ID card:身份证; ID : 身分, 身份 (identification, identity)
credit card:信用卡
cash card 现金卡, 储蓄卡, 工资卡(不能透支的那种)
(2)spoil :宠坏
几种破坏 :
break: 打破; break the windows 打破玻璃
damage: 破坏, 程度不一定很重
destroy : 破坏, 彻底摧毁
以上三个是指物理上的破坏, 而spoil主要指精神上
spoil: 把东西的质量变得不好; 生活中不顺心的事;宠坏, 溺爱
1、宠坏 His parents spoiled the boy.
2、毁了某人心情.
This spoiled my day.
What you said spoiled me.
(4)museum :博物馆
景点 :Palace Museum:故宫
the Great wall : 长城
(3)public :
这个词我们在第一课见过了, 基本用法和private一起记. 下面再说两点 :
public house简称pub : 酒吧 ; public place 公共场所
in public:公开的; in private:私下里的(介词短语在英语中往往充当状语)
Let’s have a conversation in private.让我们私下谈谈?
Why not have a conversation in public? 为什么不公开谈呢?(当面说呢?)
Part 2 :课文讲解
(1)The baby spoilded my night.
(2)Italian与Italy : 注意读音不同
(3)and 先后往往是对等的概念, but也是如此
(4)teach sb.sth.
He teaches our English.(错)
He teaches us English.(对)
语言不可数, 所以要用a little Italian或a few words of Italian
I can speak a little English/a few words of English
