【課文】
    When my husband was going into the dining room this morning, he dropped some coins on the floor.
    There were coins everywhere. We looked for them, but we could not find them all.
    While we were having breakfast, our little boy, Tommy, found two small coins on the floor.
    He put them both into his mouth. We both tried to get the coins, but it was too late. Tommy had already swallowed them!
    Late that morning, when I was doing the housework, my husband phoned me from the office.
    'How's Tommy?' he asked. 'I don't know,' I answered, 'Tommy's been to the toilet three times this morning, but I haven't had any change yet!'

    (一)單詞擴(kuò)展
    1)dinning room 飯廳 dine v. 吃飯,用餐 dinning room (a room for dining) 就餐的房間
    toilet 廁所,盥洗室
    現(xiàn)在我們用英語(yǔ)來(lái)描述一下我們的家:living room 客廳/起居室 bedroom 臥室 dining room 飯廳 garden 花園
    kitchen #FormatImgID_5# 廚房 toilet #FormatImgID_6# 廁所 balcony #FormatImgID_7# 陽(yáng)臺(tái)
    2)toilet n. 廁所,盥洗室
    廁所,你也許馬上就把WC脫口而出。WC,是water closet(水箱)的縮寫(xiě),但wc是一種很粗俗的表達(dá)方式(相當(dāng)于中國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村常在廁所中標(biāo)“大便處”“小便處”,是英美等國(guó)一二百年前使用的,現(xiàn)在一般不用WC,而使用Toilet等較文雅的詞。在美國(guó),通常會(huì)成為Restroom 或者 Bathroom,有些地方也用 Washroom。
    3)mouth n. 嘴巴 現(xiàn)在說(shuō)說(shuō)人體的五官,從上到下,分別是,眉毛(eyebrows),眼睛(eyes),鼻子(nose),耳朵(ears),嘴巴(mouth)這五部分。同時(shí),我們?cè)賮?lái)學(xué)一個(gè)俚語(yǔ),big mouth 大嘴巴(說(shuō)話管不緊,容易泄漏秘密)如:他說(shuō)話嘴松。He has a big mouth.
    (二)語(yǔ)法講解
    過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)表示在過(guò)去某一時(shí)刻或某一段時(shí)間內(nèi)進(jìn)行或發(fā)生的動(dòng)作。其形式為was /were + V-ing。常與表示過(guò)去的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)連用,如:last night, last Saturday等;或者與when, while, as引導(dǎo)的過(guò)去時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)連用。
    1. 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)由“助動(dòng)詞was/were + 現(xiàn)在分詞”構(gòu)成   例如: We were having supper when the phone rang. 我們正在吃晚飯時(shí)電話響了。
    2. 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的否定式由“was/were not +現(xiàn)在分詞”構(gòu)成。   例如: This time yesterday Jack was not watching TV. He was repairing his bike. 昨天這個(gè)時(shí)候,杰克不是在看電視,而是在修理自行車(chē)。
    3. 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的疑問(wèn)式由“was/were + 主語(yǔ)+ 現(xiàn)在分詞?”構(gòu)成。   例如: Were you playing basketball at four yesterday afternoon? 昨天下午四點(diǎn)你們?cè)诖蚧@球嗎?
    (三)感受英語(yǔ)
    讓我們來(lái)感受一下英語(yǔ)中的一語(yǔ)雙關(guān)。
    通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí),我們知道這篇小文章講述的是,一對(duì)夫婦的小兒子誤食硬幣的家庭小事故。故事的結(jié)尾時(shí)丈夫打來(lái)電話問(wèn)妻子,兒子怎樣了?妻子回答是他今天去了三次廁所,但我現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有看到change。
    change n.零錢(qián),改變。在這里,我們既可以理解為零錢(qián)(被吞食的硬幣)也可以理解為“改變”(起色)。所以change一詞,在文章中,是一語(yǔ)雙關(guān)呢。
