Lesson52 A pretty carpet
    We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
    本文語法:復習現(xiàn)在完成時(請參考Lesson 5的語法總結。)
    1、We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
    我們剛剛搬進一所新房子,我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一個上午。
    語言點 have just moved為現(xiàn)在完成時,表示“剛剛搬完家”(動作已經結束);have been working 為現(xiàn)在完成進行時,表示從過去到現(xiàn)在一直在進行的動作。
    2、I have been trying to get my new room in order.
    我試圖把我的新房間收拾整齊。
    語言點“整理,把……變成干凈整潔”的三種表達:
    1) get... in order; 2) put... in order; 3) make... tidy
    例:Please give me three minutes to put my desk in order.給我三分鐘時間,我就可以把我的書桌收拾干凈。
    3、This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
    但這并不容易,因為我有1000多本書。
    語言點 have, own, possess都表示“擁有”,它們的區(qū)別如下:
    1) Have = have got 常用在 口語中;
    2) own強調合法地擁有某物;
    3) possess更突出從屬關系。
