NOTES TO THE DIALOGUE 对话注释
1.此句通常用来表示说话人遇见老朋友或久别重逢的人时一种惊奇、兴奋的心情,相当于 I am glad to meet you, 但在语气上更为亲切、随便。
2.Working again = Are you working hard again?动词 work 在句中表示“用功读书、学习”之意,而没有“工作”之意。动词 work 的这种用法在口语中尤为常见。例如:(teacher to student): You ought to work hard,or you’ll lag behind.(教师对学生说)你应该刻苦学习,不然会掉队的。
3.I’ve got to. = I have to. 同样,否定形式 I haven’t got. = I don’t have to.在口语中常用have got to 代替 have to;但have to 有不定式形式,能与情态助动词连用,其后的不定式也可以是进行式或完成式,have got to 则不能。例如可以说:
We’ll have to go home.
You’ll be having to get the children’s tea today,won’t you?
He has to have passed the entrance examination before he goes to university.
但不能说:
We’ll have got to go home. (×)
You’ll be having got to get the children’s tea today,won’t you? (×)
He has got to have passed the entrance examination before he goes to university. (×)
4.be fed up (with):讨厌、厌倦,相当于be tired of sth.。
5.Pretty :这里作副词,相当于very,fairly。例如:I hope you’ll be yourself pretty soon.(我希望你很快能够恢复健康。)
6.weather:天气,是不可数名词,前面不能与不定冠词连用。例如:今天天气很好,应说:It’s good weather today.而不是:It’s a good weather today. (×)
7.awful:糟糕;完整的句子相当于It’s awful.
8.相当于 But she’s busy as usual.口语中常有这类短句或省略主语等成分的句子。
