  Lesson 1 自学导读 First things first

  课文详注 Further notes on the text
  1.Last week I went to the theatre.上星期我去看戏。
  (1)句首的“Last week”点明叙述的事情发生的时间是上星期。因此整篇课文的时态基本上应是过去时(包括过去进行时),直接引语部分的时态除外。
  (2)动词go的原义是离开一个地方去另一个地方,与介词to连用后,常加上主语所要去的目的地来代表主语的动作目的。课文中go to the theatre = go to the theatre to see a play,即去剧场看戏。类似的还有go to the cinema = go to the cinema to see a film(去电影院看电影)。这种表达方式简明扼要。请注意在以下的短语中名词前通常不加冠词:
  go to school上学
  go to bed上床,睡觉
  go to church上教堂,去做礼拜(参考第1册第68课at school, at church;第1册第85课have been to school/church)

  2.had a very good seat,座位很好。
  seat一般指戏院、汽车等配置的固定座位,也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”的概念:
  the front seat of a car汽车的前座
  Take a seat, please.
  请坐。

  3.The play was very interesting. 戏很有意思。
  interesting属于现在分词形式的形容词,意思是“使人感兴趣”。
  它通常与非人称主语连用或修饰某个事物:
  This is an interesting book/idea.
  这是一本有趣的书/一个令人感兴趣的主意。

  4.…were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. …坐在我的身后,大声地说着话。
  这两句的时态为过去进行时。(参考第1册第7课语法)

  5.I got very angry. 我非常生气。
  get在这里有“逐渐变得”的含义,接近become,是个表示过程的动词,表示状态的变化。而I was very angry则仅表示当时的状态是生气,并不暗示过程。

  6.in the end, 最后,终于。
  表示一段较长的时间之后或某种努力之后:
  She tried hard to finish her homework by herself. In the end, she had to ask her brother for help.
  她试图自已完成家庭作业,但最后她不得不请她兄弟帮忙。

  7.none of your business, 不关你的事。
  (1) sb. 's business指某人(所关心的或份内)的事:
  It is my business to look after your health.
  我必须照顾你的身体健康。
  This is none of his business.
  这根本不关他的事。
  (2)表示否定的代词none意义上相当于not any或no one,但语气较强:
  She kept none of his letters.
  他的信件她一封也没有保留。
  None of my friends left early.
  我的朋友没有一个早离开的。
  none of这个短语有时可以表达一种断然、甚至粗暴的口气,
  尤其是在祈使句中:
  None of your silly remarks!
  别说傻话了!

  8.a private conversation,私人间的谈话。
  在西方文化中人们对private(私人的,个人的)这个概念很看重。这个词的名词形式privacy有“隐私(权)”的意思。所以课文中的小伙子会 振振有词地说“This is a private conversation!”不过他忘了他是在一个public place(公众场合),而且他们的说话声太大,已经影响了别人。

主语一般为名词、代词或名词短语,通常位于动词之前。动词必须与主语“一致”,所以主语决定动词的单复数形式(如I am, you are, he has)。宾语一般为名词、代词或名词短语。在主动句中,宾语一般位于动词之后。一个句子不总需要有宾语。状语的位置比较灵活。当一个句子里有一种以上的 副词时,地点副词的一般位置是在方式副词之后、时间副词之前,如上面的最后一个例句。时间状语可以在句尾,也可以在句首:
  Last night Lucy went to the theatre.
  昨晚露西去剧院看戏了。
  I heard a voice at the door just now.
  我刚才听到门口有声音。
  Sam listened to the story quietly.
  萨姆静静地听着故事。
  The man ran away quickly.
  那人很快跑掉了。(无宾语)
