    課文注釋及詞匯講解
    * try 試圖
    try to do sth. 盡力做某事
    eg. We'll try to meet the customers' demands
    我們將盡力滿足客戶的需求。

    * trip 旅行
    eg. This is my second trip to the United States.
    這是我第二次來美國。
    * Do you like it here?
    你喜歡這兒嗎?
    注意:
    代詞"it"在這里沒有什么實際意義,但必不可少。因為here為副詞,like為及物動詞,所以需要有it做賓語。
    * How do you find Tokyo?
    你覺得東京怎么樣?
    也可以說成 "What do you think of Tokyo?"或 "How do you like Tokyo?"
    * interesting 令人感興趣的
    eg. The film is interesting.

    * stay 停留,暫住
    eg. Are you staying long?
    你逗留的時間長嗎?
    Which hotel are you staying in?
    你住在哪家旅館?
    注意:
    stay為不及物動詞,所以在第二個例句中一定要接介詞in ,這樣才能帶賓語。
    * unfortunately 令人遺憾,運氣不好地
    eg. Unfortunately, I can only stay for a week.
    真遺憾,我只能呆一周。
    * Business or pleasure?
    出差還是度假?
    本句為 "Do you come here for business or for pleasure?"的省略句。在口語中經(jīng)常用省略句。
    * I'm afraid… 我恐怕……,恐怕是……[有時可以不直譯]
    該句式用于緩和語氣或婉轉(zhuǎn)地表達想法,也可以用于表示不肯定的語氣。
    Eg. I'm afraid I can't come on Friday afternoon, because I will be having a meeting then.
    因為要開個會,周五下午我恐怕不能來。

    * traditional 傳統(tǒng)的
    eg. I thought Atlanta world be more traditional.
    我原以為亞特蘭大會更加傳統(tǒng)一點兒。
    注意:
    這里 I thought 為過去時,表明"我原以為,現(xiàn)在不這樣認為了"。若用了 I think則意味著"我一直這樣認為,現(xiàn)在也是"。
    * show sb. around 帶某人參觀
