    New Words and Expression 生詞和短語
    museum n. 博物館?
    the Art Museum 藝術(shù)博物館?
    post office n. 郵局?

    Language Points 語言要點(diǎn)?
    1. Excuse me. 對(duì)不起。這是一句用以引起別人注意的話,以提醒對(duì)方有事相求。2. 動(dòng)詞 go 的用法:go 是一個(gè)不及物動(dòng)詞,不能直接加賓語。要與介詞連用。
     常用的介詞是 to。例如:
    go to school 去上學(xué)
    go to the coffee shop 去咖啡館
    go 的后面可直接加副詞。例如:
    go upstairs 上樓
    go downstairs 下樓
    go straight ahead 一直往前走
    Cultural Notes 文化注釋?
     常說的一句道歉的話是 Excuse me. 即對(duì)不起。比如當(dāng)你要從別人面前走過的時(shí)候,你要說聲 Excuse me. 當(dāng)你就餐中要離席而去時(shí),你要說聲 Excuse me. 但是,過多的道歉則是美國人難以接受的。在美國,一個(gè)外國人更不必為自己講不好英語而向別人道歉。?
