【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.

When was the last time this country hosted the Olympic Games?
The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called 'Olympic City'. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fantastic modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.

【課文翻譯】
當(dāng)約翰.吉爾伯特住院的時(shí)候，他問醫(yī)生他的手術(shù)是否成功，但醫(yī)生拒絕告訴他。第二天，這位病人要了一部床頭電話。當(dāng)房里只剩他一個(gè)人時(shí)，他掛通了醫(yī)院的交換臺(tái)，要求與米靈頓醫(yī)生講話。當(dāng)這位醫(yī)生接過電話時(shí)，吉爾伯特先生說他想詢問一個(gè)病人的情況，是一位名叫約翰.吉爾伯特的先生。他問吉爾伯特先生的手術(shù)中否成功，醫(yī)生告訴他手術(shù)很成功。然后他又問吉爾伯特先生什么時(shí)候可以回家，醫(yī)生說他在醫(yī)院還必須再住上兩個(gè)星期。之后，米靈頓醫(yī)生問打電話的人是否是病人的親屬?！安皇?，”病人回答說，“我就是約翰.吉爾伯特先生?！?BR> 【生詞和短語】

當(dāng)房里只剩他一個(gè)人時(shí)，他掛通了醫(yī)院的交換臺(tái)，要求與米靈頓醫(yī)生講話。
區(qū)別lonely, alone,
這兩個(gè)形容詞均有“孤單的，寂寞的”之意。lonely: 強(qiáng)調(diào)孤獨(dú)感，含“渴望和他人在一起”的意味。alone: 普通用詞，指獨(dú)自一人的狀態(tài)，有時(shí)含孤寂之意。

alone指“獨(dú)自的”，lonely指“寂寞的”，一個(gè)人也許alone但并不lonely(雖自己一人，但不寂寞)，或是雖不alone而感覺lonely(雖不是自己一個(gè)人，卻還是寂寞)。有時(shí)lonely還指“不大有人到的”，如a lonely house。

inquire for 求見, 詢問, 要找 inquire into 調(diào)查, 查問, 探究 inquire of 探問
We inquired the way of a boy.
我們向一個(gè)男孩問路。
He is the person you inquire for.
他就是你要見的那個(gè)人。
We must inquire into the matter.
我們必須調(diào)查此事。
4 When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert.
當(dāng)這位醫(yī)生接過電話時(shí)，吉爾伯特先生說他想詢問一個(gè)病人的情況，是一位名叫約翰.吉爾伯特的先生。
(1)certain adj. 某個(gè)
some+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)是表示某個(gè)
certain 后面的東西不能定
a certain boy
two certain boys
certain 根據(jù)它前面的數(shù)量來定
某一個(gè) a certain+n. 某兩個(gè)two certain+n.(復(fù)數(shù))

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
1 While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so.
當(dāng)約翰.吉爾伯特住院的時(shí)候，他問醫(yī)生他的手術(shù)是否成功，但醫(yī)生拒絕告訴他。
ask for 請(qǐng)求, 要求

2 When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington.
當(dāng)房里只剩他一個(gè)人時(shí)，他掛通了醫(yī)院的交換臺(tái)，要求與米靈頓醫(yī)生講話。
區(qū)別lonely, alone,
這兩個(gè)形容詞均有“孤單的，寂寞的”之意。lonely: 強(qiáng)調(diào)孤獨(dú)感，含“渴望和他人在一起”的意味。alone: 普通用詞，指獨(dú)自一人的狀態(tài)，有時(shí)含孤寂之意。
alone是表語形容詞，因此能說The man is alone，不能說an alone man。也不能說very alone，只能說much alone或very much alone，且后者比前者普遍。
alone指“獨(dú)自的”，lonely指“寂寞的”，一個(gè)人也許alone但并不lonely(雖自己一人，但不寂寞)，或是雖不alone而感覺lonely(雖不是自己一個(gè)人，卻還是寂寞)。有時(shí)lonely還指“不大有人到的”，如a lonely house。
I was alone in the classroom.
我獨(dú)自在教室里。
After tea I wandered alone about the town.
