Lesson 117 Tommy's breakfast! Text 课文 Listen to the tape then answer this question. What does she mean by change in the last sentence? 听录音，然后回答问题。最后一名话中的“change' 是什么意思？ When my husband was going into the dining room this morning, he dropped some coins on the floor. There were coins everywhere. We looked for them, but we could not find them all. While we were having breakfast, our little boy, Tommy, found two small coins on the floor. He put them both into his mouth. We both tried to get the coins, but it was too late. Tommy had already swallowed them! Late that morning, when I was doing the housework, My husband phoned me from the office. 'How's Tommy?' he asked. 'I don't know,' I answered, 'Tommy's been to the toilet three times this morning, but I haven't had any change yet!' New words 生词 dining room 饭厅 coin [kɔin] n.硬币 mouth [mauθ] n.嘴 swallow [swɔləu] v.吞下 later ['leitə] ad.后来 toilet ['tɔilit] n.厕所，盥洗室 Grammar focus 语法 1. When my husband was going into the dining room this morning, he dropped some coins on the floor. 今天早上我丈夫走进饭厅时，把一些硬币掉在地上了。 这是一个由when引导的时间状语从句，本句中when引导的从句部分，用来说明逗号后主句动作发生的时间。在时间状语从句中，主句动作可以先于或后于从句动作，也可以与从句动作同时发生。如： when I got there, the match had already begun. 我到那儿时，比赛已经开始了。 He nodded when I asked if he understood. 当我问他是否懂了的时候，他点了点头。 She was on the point of leaving when I arrived. 我到那的时候，她正要离开。 when=while 都表示当……的时候，都可以引导时间状语从句，而while引导的时间状语从句，其后一定要跟进行时，如下文中的句子： While we were having breakfast, our little boy, Tommy, found two small coins on the floor. 正当我们吃早饭的时候，我们的小男孩汤米在地上找到了两枚小硬币。 2. We looked for them, but we could not find them all. 我们虽然找了，但没能把他们全部找到。 A: look for表示寻找（强调找的过程），find表示找到（强调找的结果）。 B: 在but we could not find them all.这句话中，them和all是同位语。同位语就是一个名词或代词后面，跟一个名词（或起类似作用的其他词），对前者进行补充说明的部分。省去不会影响句子的意思。如本文中的同位语现象： Our little boy, Tommy, … Tommy是boy的同位语； He put them both into his mouth. both是them的同位语； We both tried to get the coins. both是we的同位语。 3. But it was too late. Tommy had already swallowed them! 但太迟了。汤米已经把硬币咽了下去。 Tommy had already swallowed them. 这是一个过去完成时的句子，过去完成时表示在过去某一时间或动作以前，已经发生或完成了的动作。其结构为主语+had done+其他。如： He had finished the work two days before. 他两天前就把工作做完了。 She had finished the housework before she went out. 她在出去之前做完了家务。 4. ‘Tommy's been to the toilet three times this morning, but I haven't had any change yet!’ “今天上午汤米去了3次厕所了，但我还没有看到硬币。” change作名词表示零钱，作动词表示改变；而这里的change是一个一语双关的用法，既可以指“硬币”，也可以指“情况的变化”。 Lesson 117 学习视频 Lesson 118 What were you doing?
