    課文內(nèi)容:
    ‘The play may begin at any moment,' I said.‘It may have begun already,' Susan answered.‘I hurried to the ticket-office.'May I have two tickets please ?' I asked.‘I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.‘What a pity!' Susan exclaimed. Just then, a man hurried to the ticket-office.‘Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.‘Certainly,' the girl said. I went back to the ticket office at once.‘Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.‘Certainly, 'the girl said,‘but they are for next Wednesday's performance.‘I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
    精講筆記:
    7.I went back to the ticket office at once.
    我就立刻又回到售票處。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 go back = return 此句可改為:I returned to the ticket office at once.
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 at once = immediately = as soon as = directly =instantly 立刻
    8.‘Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.
    “我能買(mǎi)那兩張票嗎?”我問(wèn)。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn) could = can, 但前者多用于口語(yǔ)表達(dá),比后者更為客氣,尤其是在句尾還補(bǔ)上一詞 please,就更為禮貌了。
    9.‘Certainly, 'the girl said,‘but they are for next Wednesday's performance.
    “當(dāng)然可以,”賣(mài)票的女孩回答,“不過(guò)這兩張票是下星期三的,您是否還要呢?”
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1 在此作介詞,意為“為了”
    I went there for learning English. 我去那兒的目的就是為了學(xué)英語(yǔ)。
    This room is only for officer. 這個(gè)房間是專(zhuān)為官員準(zhǔn)備的。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2 比較學(xué)習(xí):still, yet
    still用于肯定句、疑問(wèn)句,意為“依然,還”:He is still at home.他還在家里。/ Do you still learn Oiinese?你還在學(xué)漢語(yǔ)嗎?
    yet意為“也,還”,用于否定句,常用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí);用于疑問(wèn)句,意思為“已經(jīng)”:
    He hasn’t come back yet. 他還沒(méi)有回來(lái)。
    —Has he done it yet? 他做完了嗎?
    —Not yet= He hasn’t done it yet. 沒(méi)呢。
    10.‘I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
    “我還是買(mǎi)下的好,”我垂頭喪氣地說(shuō)。
    語(yǔ)言點(diǎn) “may / might as well +動(dòng)詞原形”表示沒(méi)有更多選擇不情愿地去做某事(尤其用于第一人稱):We might as well take this train. 我們好還是坐這趟火車(chē)。/ I might as well eat this apple.我看還是吃了這個(gè)蘋(píng)果為好。
