Lesson 73 The way to King Street到國王街的走法
    Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way.
    Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. 'I can ask him the way.' she said to herself.
    'Excuse me,' she said. 'Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?'
    The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He was a tourist.
    Then he put his hand into pocket, and took out a phrasebook.
    He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. 'I am sorry,' he said. 'I do not speak English.'
    上星期米爾斯夫人去了倫敦。她對(duì)倫敦不很熟悉,因此迷了路。
    突然,她在公共汽車站附近看到一個(gè)男人。“我可以向他問路,”她想。
    “對(duì)不起,您能告訴我到國王街怎么走嗎?”她說。
    這人友好地笑了笑。他不懂英語!他講德語。他是個(gè)旅游者。
    然后他把手伸進(jìn)了衣袋,掏出了一本常用語手冊(cè)。
    他翻開書找到了一條短語。他緩慢地讀著短語。
    ”很抱歉,“他說,”我不會(huì)講英語?!?.She does not know London very well. 她對(duì)倫敦不很熟悉。
    know…well這一短語意為“對(duì)……了解”。又如:
    I don't know him very well.
    我不太了解他。
    2.…, and she lost her way. ……因此她迷路了。
    句中的 and當(dāng)“所以”講,表示結(jié)果。 lose one's way, 迷路。
    3.a(chǎn)sk(sb.) the way, (向某人)問路。
    4.say to oneself, 心中暗想。
    注意:talk to oneself意為“自言自語地說”。
    5.Can you tell me the way to King Street, please? 您能告訴我到國王街怎么走嗎?
    tell sb. the way(to), 告訴某人(去……的)路。
    6.cut himself= cut his face。
    以整體代替部分是英語中的一種修辭格,叫提喻(merism /'merim/)。1.副詞
    副詞(adverb)這個(gè)詞的本意是補(bǔ)充動(dòng)詞的意義。這就是許多副詞的作用。它們可以通過修飾動(dòng)詞告訴我們有關(guān)句中某個(gè)動(dòng)作的情況,也就是告訴我們某事是如何、何時(shí)、何地等發(fā)生或進(jìn)行的。
    副詞可以是單個(gè)的詞(如 slowly)或詞組(如 very well)。單一副詞既有以-ly結(jié)尾的也有不以-ly結(jié)尾的(如 quickly, fast)。
    形容詞向副詞的轉(zhuǎn)換一般遵循3個(gè)規(guī)則:
    (1)在形容詞后面直接加-ly,如:
    quick----quickly
    hurried----hurriedly
    pleasant----pleasantly
    warm----warmly
    (2)以-y結(jié)尾的形容詞,則把-y改成-i,再加-ly,如:
    thirsty----thirstily
    happy----happily
    (3)形容詞與副詞形式相同:
    late----late
    fast----fast
    hard----hard
    well----well
    2.部分不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞的過去式形式
    go----went
    see----saw
    understand----understood
    take----took
    read----read /red/
    drink----drank
    run----ran
    know----knew
    say----said
    put----put
    cut----cut
    eat----ate
    meet----met
    come----came
    lose----lost
    tell----told
    speak----spoke
