Module 2 Friendship

the old woman lives alone because her daughter is abroad. but she is not lonely because we often go to see her. 這位老奶奶一個人獨自居住，因為她的女兒在國外，但她并不孤獨，因為我們經常去看望她。 ²        辨析other, the other, others, the others 區分這四個詞，只需注意以下兩點： 1.沒有the表示“別的，其余的”；有the強調“其余所有的” 2.若other后沒有s則后面往往還有名詞（單數情況除外），若other后有s則后面不加名詞。 另外，another與這四組詞都不相同，它表示“又一個，再一個”，所指事物沒有范圍，而上面那四組詞則都是將事物分成了兩大部分。 e.g. english is spoken not only in the uk and the usa, but also in many other countries. （這里不強調除英美外，其余所有的國家都說英語，所以不加the，另外，后面有countries，所以other不加s。） the old lady has four sons. one is in canada, the others are in america. （這里強調除一個在加拿大外，其余所有的都在美國，所以加the，另外，other后面沒有名詞，所以加s。） would you like another cup of tea? （這里指再來一杯，沒有范圍。） ²        當adj.修飾不定代詞(something, anything, nothing, everything)時，adj.要后置。 e.g. i have something important to tell you.    he has nothing new to say. ²        辨析surprising與surprised surprising 意為“令人驚訝的”，修飾物或事；而surprised意為“吃驚的”，修飾人。 e.g. the news is surprising.    i’m surprised at the news. 類似的單詞還有exciting (excited), tiring (tired), pleasing (pleased), amazing (amazed)等。 ²        掌握一些固定電話用語： is chen huan there? 請問陳歡在嗎? is that chen huan (speaking)? 您是陳歡嗎? may i speak to jack, please? 杰克在嗎? i’ll call back later.  我一會兒再打。 this is sally (speaking).  我是sally。 who’s calling, please?  請問您是那位？ hold the line, please. 稍等，別掛斷。 sorry. he isn’t here right now. 對不起，他現在不在。 can i take a message? / can you leave a message? 我能捎個信兒嗎？/ 您能留個信兒嗎？ i’m afraid you have the wrong number. 恐怕您打錯了。 三、          語法 objective clause賓語從句 賓語從句可根據引導詞分為三大類： 1.當從句是陳述句時，用that引導，that可省略，語序不變。 u       trees improve the air. betty thinks (that) trees improve the air. u       it will snow this winter. i hope (that) it will snow this winter. u       there is a good film tonight.
