Dos:

VIII. Language points

1. They go out of their way to make me feel at home.

go out of one’s way 特地；格外努力

e.g. John went out of his way to make his girl friend happy.

約翰想方設法使他的女朋友高興。

make sb. feel at home 使某人感到賓至如歸

e.g. I’m doing everything I can to make them feel at home.

我在盡我一切所能使他們感到賓至如歸。

2. You wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved because of that.

You wouldn’t believe …是一個常用句式，相當於漢語所說的“你無法想象……；你想都想不到……；你絕不會相信……”，表示所陳述的事情超出想象之外。與此類似的表達還有You would never believe…或You would hardly believe…。例如：

You wouldn’t believe that he found his long-lost sister in Taiwan!

你絕對想不到他在臺灣找到了失散多年的姐姐！

You would never believe what quick progress he’s made ever since he attended your class.

你根本無法想象，自從他聽了您的講課後進步有多大。

3. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.

learning how to behave at the table是現在分詞短語，在此用作句子的表語。再如：

His main hobby is fishing. 他的主要愛好是釣魚。

The most important thing is getting there in time. 最重要的事是及時到達那裏。

behave

【講解】behave是不及物動詞，意爲“表現；行爲”，behave well / badly表示“表現好/糟糕”。它的名詞形式behaviour(舉止；行爲)，是不可數名詞。

【運用】請根據漢語意思補全英語句子，每空一詞。

(1) 如果你那樣表現，你會讓人厭惡的。

____ you _______ like that, you’ll get yourself disliked.

(2) 如此的行爲可能招致麻煩。

______ ________ may cause trouble.

4. … but I’m gradually getting used to it. get used to 習慣於

e.g. We get used to this way of speaking,.

我們習慣了這種說話方式。

辨析：

① be/get used to sth./doing sth. 習慣於…

e.g. He got used to living in the country.

他習慣住在鄉下。

② used to do sth. 過去常常做某事（現在不做了）

e.g. He used to plant roses.

他過去常常種植玫瑰。

5. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hand except bread, not even fruit.

except作介詞，意爲“除……之外”，和but意義相似，但語氣上要比but更加強烈。

1) Everyone is here except him.

2) We have classes except Saturday and Sunday.

透過觀察例句1和例句2，我們可知except後可以跟 ______ 和 ______ 。

3) I can take a holiday at any time except in September.

透過觀察例句3，可知，except後也可跟__________。

4) He never came to visit except to borrow something.

5) He will do anything except lent you money.

透過觀察例句4，可知except後可接動詞不定式。意思是“除了做……”。但在例句5中except後爲“lend you money”，所以我們可知若except前含不定代詞時，就要______________________。

【運用】將下列漢語句子翻譯成英語。

1. 除了烹調，她別的都會幹。

______________________________

2. 我除了要透過考試之外，沒有別的心願。

____________________________________________

When you are eating at the table, it’s impolite to stick your chopsticks into your food. You are not supposed to point at anyone with your chopsticks. In our house, you’re supposed to shake hands with my father for the first time. You are not supposed to kiss when you meet my mother. You can say hello to her with a big smile. When you go out with people, you are expected to call first, it’s important to make plans to do something interesting or go somewhere together.

Have a safe trip and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Best wishes!
