It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!’ I thought. ‘It's raining again. ’ Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I've just arrived by train, ’ she said. ‘I'm coming to see you. ’
‘But I'm still having breakfast, ’ I said.
‘What are you doing?’ she asked.
‘I'm having breakfast, ’ I repeated2.
‘Dear me, ’ she said. ‘Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!’
Notes on the text 課文注釋
1 on Sundays，指每個(gè)星期日。星期幾的前面用介詞on。
2 What a day！多么糟糕的天氣！這是一個(gè)省略的感嘆句。完整的句子應(yīng)該是What a day it is！英語中的感嘆句常用what開頭，后面緊跟一個(gè)名詞或名詞性短語(包括連系動(dòng)詞)，然后是主語和謂語，句尾用感嘆號(hào)。
3 I'm coming to see you．在這句話中現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)用來表示近期按計(jì)劃或安排要進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作。
4 Dear me！天哪！這也是一個(gè)感嘆句。
參考譯文
那是個(gè)星期天，而在星期天我是從來不早起的，有時(shí)我要一直躺到吃午飯的時(shí)候。上個(gè)星期天，我起得很晚。我望望窗外，外面一片昏暗?！肮硖鞖?！”我想，“又下雨了?！闭谶@時(shí)，電話鈴響了。是我姑母露西打來的?！拔覄傁禄疖?，”她說，“我這就來看你。”
“但我還在吃早飯，”我說。
“你在干什么？”她問道。
“我正在吃早飯，”我又說了一遍。
“天啊，”她說，“你總是起得這么晚嗎？現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)1點(diǎn)鐘了！”
