Notes on the text 课文注释
1 Do you want beef or lamb?是选择疑问句,本句有两项选择,第一选择beef念升调,lamb则读降调。2 I like lamb, but my husband doesn't.句中的doesn't后面省略了like lamb。用but连接的并列句,在后一分句中可以省略与前一分句中相同的谓语动词和宾语。3 To tell you the truth(或To tell the truth),意思是:“老实说”,“说实话”。4 I don't like chicken either.either当“也(不)”讲,用在否定句中。肯定句和疑问句中可用too,在第7课和第31课中已出现这样的句子。
参考译文
肉 商:您今天要买点肉吗,伯德夫人?伯德夫人:是的,我买一点。肉 商:您要牛肉还是要羔羊肉?伯德夫人:请给我牛肉。肉 商:这羔羊肉很好。伯德夫人:我喜欢羔羊肉,可我丈夫不喜欢。肉商:来点牛排吗?这块很好。伯德夫人:就请给我那块吧。伯德夫人:再来一磅绞肉。肉 商:您要买只鸡吗,伯德夫人?这些鸡很好。伯德夫人:不要了,谢谢。伯德夫人:我丈夫喜欢牛排,但他不喜欢鸡。肉商:说老实话,伯德夫人,我也不喜欢鸡。
