課文詳注 Further notes on the text

I believe you.
我相信你（說(shuō)的話）。
I believe that he has already gone to London.
我認(rèn)為他已經(jīng)去倫敦了。
for sale意為“供新概念”、“待售”。
2．How long have you lived here? 您在這里住了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間？
how long常用于詢問(wèn)時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)短與物體的長(zhǎng)度。
3．since 1976, 從 1976年起。
這是介詞短語(yǔ)，since在這里是介詞。用這個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)的句子中，謂語(yǔ)要用完成時(shí)。（請(qǐng)參見本課語(yǔ)法部分。）
