Lesson 14—Do you speak English?
課文內(nèi)容
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
課文注釋
1.I drove on the next town.我繼續(xù)是駛往下一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)。
句中的副詞 on 有“繼續(xù)地”，“不停頓地”意思。
2.on the way,在途中。
3.ask for a lift,要求搭車。
4.apart form,除了……以外。
5.As I soon learnt,he was English himself!我很快就知道，他自己就是個(gè)英國人。
參考譯文
去年我有過有趣的經(jīng)歷。在離開法國南部的一個(gè)小村莊后，我繼續(xù)駛往下一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)。途中，一個(gè)青年人向我招手。我把車停下，他向我提出要求搭車。他一上車，我就用法語向他問好，他也同樣用法語回答我。除了個(gè)別幾個(gè)單詞外，我根本不會(huì)法語。旅途中我們誰也沒講話。就要到達(dá)那個(gè)鎮(zhèn)時(shí)，那青年突然開了口，慢慢地說道“你會(huì)講英語嗎？” 我很快了解到，他自己就是個(gè)英國人！
