Were you at the butcher's? Yes, I was. 刚才您在肉店吗?是的,我在肉店里。 A: 问句是一个一般过去时的一般疑问句。因为问的是过去的状态,刚才您在肉店吗?所以be动词我们使用的是are的过去式were,同样答语中使用的是am的过去式was。 B: 一般过去时表示在过去的某个时间里发生的动作或者状态;句中的动词要使用过去式。如: He was at home that night. 那天晚上他在家。 I finished my homework two hours ago. 两个小时以前我就完成了作业。 C: at the butcher's在肉店,文中同样的表达还有: at the greengrocer's在蔬菜水果店 at my mother's在我妈妈家里 2. Was he absent from school last week? 上星期他没有上学吧? be absent from表示缺席……, 如: He was absent from the meeting yesterday. 他缺席了昨天的会议。 3. How are you all keeping? 你们身体都好吗? 本句是问候身体的常用句型,相当于How are you?/How are you doing?你好吗? 4. We are going to spend three days in the country. We're going to stay at my mother's for the weekend. 我们打算到乡下去三天,在我母亲家度周末。 A: 这两句话都是be going to来表示的一般将来时态,表示计划、打算做某事,to后面的动词要用原形。如: He is going to recite a poem. 他将要朗诵一首诗。 B: spend表示花费时间、金钱等,如: I usually spend one hour on my homework. 我通常花费一个小时的时间做家庭作业。 I spent 20 dollars on this pair of shoes. 我花了20美元买这双鞋。 C: country可以表示乡村,也可以表示国家。如: I live in the country. 我住在乡村。 I love my country. 我爱我的国家。 5. Aren't you lucky. 你们真幸运啊。 A: 这句话是一个否定疑问句。可以表示说话人惊异的情绪或责难的口吻等,如: Don't you want to go? 你难道不想去吗? Don’t you know who you’re talking to? 你难道不知道自己在和谁说话吗? B: 口语中我们常用a lucky dog表示幸运儿,如: You are such a lucky dog. 你真是个幸运儿。 C: lucky这个形容词的名词形式是luck,如:Good luck! 祝你好运! Lesson 67 学习视频 Lesson 68 What's the time?
