四重点知识点
Section A
1. You are supposed to shake hands.
suppose意思是“猜想;以为;假定”,但在具体的语言环境中意义不止于此,其用法如下:1) suppose + that 从句,表示“猜测;假定”.如:I suppose that you are right.我想你是对的.You can suppose that A equals B.你可以假定A等于B.
2) suppose +名词 / 代词 + to be...,表示“认为……是……”.如:Many people suppose him to be over 50.许多人认为他已经50多岁了.
3) 3) be supposed to 的用法 用法一:be supposed to...其中to是动词不定式符号,不是介词,其后要跟动词原形.当be supposed to...的主语是“人” 时,意为“应该…… ”;“被期望……”,它可以用来表示劝告、建议、义务、责任等,相当于情态动词should.如:Everyone is supposed to wear a seat-belt in the car.每个人在汽车里都应该系安全带.Teachers are supposed to treat all the students alike.老师应该对所有的学生一视同仁.
4) 用法二:当be supposed to...的主语是“物”时,它表示“本应;本该”,用于表示“某事本应该发生而没有发生”.如:The new laws are supposed to prevent crime.这些新法令本应该起到防止犯罪的作用.The train was supposed to arrive half an hour ago.火车本应在半小时之前到达.
5) 用法三:be supposed to后面接“have + 过去分词”时,表示“本应该做某事而没做”.如:You are supposed to have handed in your homework by now.现在你应该已经把作业交上来了.He is supposed to have arrived an hour ago.他应该一小时前就到了.
6) 用法四:be supposed to...的否定结构为be not supposed to...,它常用于口语中,意为“不被许可;不应当”.如:She was not supposed to be angry about that.她本不该为那件事而生气的.You are not supposed to smoke on the bus.你不应该在公共汽车上吸烟.
2. That’s how people in Japan are expected to greet each other.
greet =to welcome or say “hello” 动词 “问候,打招呼”
e.g. He greeted her by saying “good morning”.
他向她打招呼说 “早上好”。She greeted me with a friendly smile. 她向我微笑致意。
be expected to 有望做某事;被期待做
e.g. John is expected to come to the party tonight.约翰应该会出席今晚的宴会。
3. I held out my hand and to my surprise, she kissed me on both sides of my face!
to one’s surprise 令某人惊讶的是
e.g. To my surprise, they said okay. 令我惊讶的是,他们说可以。
kiss sb. on…= give sb. a kiss on…亲吻某人的……
e.g. She kissed the child on the forehead.
=She gave the child a kiss on the forehead.
她吻了孩子的额头。
4. Where I’m from, we are pretty relaxed about time.
在我们那个地方,我们的时间观念比较随意。
where用作连词,引导地点状语从句,说明主句行为发生的地点。
e.g. Remember to keep the kids where you can see them.
记住让孩子们待在你能看得见的地方。
relaxed adj. 放松的,自在的
be relaxed about … 对……感到放松
5. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives.
value v. 珍视,重视
e.g. I’ve always valued my teachers’ advice.
我一直很重视老师们所给的建议。
life n. 生活(可数名词)
e.g. Many people make different kinds of friends in their social lives.
许多人在他们的社交生活中结交了各种不同的朋友。
一些常用短语和表达,如live/ have/ lead a …life,常用life的单数形式。如:
She just wanted to live a quiet life.
她只想过平静的生活。
6. We often just drop by our friends’ homes.
drop by 顺便拜访,后面常接表示地点的名词。
e.g. Drop by my home this evening . 今晚到我家来谈谈。
drop in也可表示“顺便拜访”,如果后接人时,用介词on。
e.g. I just drop in on him for a chat.
我只是顺便来和他聊聊天。
7. In Switzerland, it’s very important to be on time.
该句中使用了句型“It’s + adj.+ to do sth.”,意为“做某事是……的”。it在句中作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to do sth.。如:
It’s necessary to eat healthy food.
It’s + adj.+for sb. to do sth.
It’s + adj.+of sb. to do sth.
It’s + adj.+that 从句.
8.take off
★ take off可意为“脱下(衣服)”,与put on意思相反。如:
It’s hot in the room. Please take off your coat.
★ take off还可意为“(飞机等)起飞”,与land意思相反。如:
The plane will take off in an hour.
9.worth adj. 值(多少钱); 相当于……的价值
e.g. This old computer is worth 300 dollars.
worth adj. ,还可意为“值得”,后接名词(短语)、代词或动词-ing形式,其中动词-ing形式是主动形式表示被动意义。另外,worth常用well修饰,表示“很值得”。
The new car cost a lot of money, but it’s certainly worth it.
The book is well worth reading.
The place is worth visiting.
The place is worth a visit.
Section B
1. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be.
reason to do sth. 做某事的理由
no reason to do sth. 没有理由做……
e.g. The police have reason to believe that he is guilty.
警方有理由认定他有罪。
You have no reason to be nervous.
你没有理由这么紧张。
2. 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.
约翰想方设法使他的女朋友高兴。
make sb. feel at home 使某人感到宾至如归
e.g. I’m doing everything I can to make them feel at home.
我在尽我一切所能使他们感到宾至如归。
3. You wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved because of that.
You wouldn’t believe …常用句式,“你无法想象……;你想都想不到……;你绝不会相信……”,表示所陈述的事情超出想象之外。与此类似的表达还有You would never believe…或You would hardly believe…。例如:
You wouldn’t believe that he found his long-lost sister in Taiwan!
你绝对想不到他在台湾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.
你根本无法想象,自从他听了您的讲课后进步有多大。
4. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.
learning how to behave at the table是现在分短语,在此用作句子的表语。再如:
His main hobby is fishing. 他的主要爱好是钓鱼。
The most important thing is getting there in time. 最重要的事是及时到达那里。
behave
【讲解】behave是不及物动词,意为“表现;行为”,behave well / badly表示“表现好/糟糕”。
e.g. The boy behaved very well last night.
★ behave as if / as though意为“表现得好像……”。如:
Bruce was a little boy, but he behaved as if / as though he was an adult.
★ behave oneself意为“表现得体;有礼貌”。如:
I hope Nicholas behaved himself at the party.
5. … but I’m gradually getting used to it. get used to 习惯于
e.g. We get used to this way of speaking,.
我们习惯了这种说话方式。
辨析:
① be/get used to sth./doing sth. 习惯于…
e.g. He got used to living in the country.
他习惯住在乡下。
② used to do sth. 过去常常做某事(现在不做了)
e.g. He used to plant roses.
他过去常常种植玫瑰。
6. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hand except bread, not even fruit.
except作介词,意为“除……之外”,和but意义相似,但语气上要比but更加强烈。
1) Everyone is here except him.
2) We have classes except Saturday and Sunday.
3) I can take a holiday at any time except in September.
4) He never came to visit except to borrow something.
5) He will do anything except lent you money.

Dear Tony,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs. When you are eating at the table, it’s impolite to start eating first if there are older people at the table. You should let them start first. When you are eating with chopsticks, it is impolite to point at other people with your chopsticks. It is also impolite to stick your chopsticks into the bowl of rice and leave them there.
In our house, you’re supposed to take off your shoes before you enter the house or just inside the front door. In our culture, we don’t usually hug or kiss people.
When you go out with people, you should tell the hostess where you are going, who you are going with and when you will come back. In our culture, the hostess will worry a lot about the safety of her guests, so a polite guest will always let her know these things.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Best wishes!
Yours
Xiao Wei

Dear Li Ming,
I am going to China as an exchange student this September. And I will spend the Middle-Autumn Festival with a Chinese family. Could you tell me something about the Middle-Autumn Festival? How do you celebrate it? How should I behave at the dinner table?
Write soon.
Mile

Dear Mike,
It’s fantastic that you will come to China and spend the Middle-Autumn Festival with a Chinese family.
The Middle-Autumn Festival, which is one important traditional festival in China, falls on August 15th of the lunar calendar every year. It is celebrated both in China and many other Asian countries. People believe that a full moon is the symbol of reunion and good luck. It is also a traditional custom to express best wishes to our beloved ones at this special time. On that day we usually go back home to have a family get-together, and we appreciate the beautiful moon,enjoying the typical food----the mooncake..
As a guest at a meal, one should be particular about his or her appearance.When helping yourself to the dishes, you should take food first from the plates in front of you rather than those in the middle of the table or in front of others. We Chinese all have a wonderful time at the festival.
Enjoy your stay in China.
Li Ming
