Unit 1　Festivals around the world (Period 5　Using language: Extensive reading)

turn up: make one’s appearance; arrive露面; 來到
we invited her to dinner but she didn’t even bother to turn up.
我們請她吃飯她都不露面。
we arranged to meet at the gate at 7, but he failed to turn up.
我們約定7點在大門口見面, 但他沒來。
2. she said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word.
她說她會在7點到達, 他（李方）認為她會守信用的。
keep one’s word/promise: do what one has promised守信
break one’s word/promise: fail to do what one has promised失信
you promised you would buy me a new bike, so you must keep your word.
你答應過給我買一輛新自行車的, 所以你必須信守諾言。
he is always breaking his word. 他總是食言。
3.  . . . he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize.
他不想屏住呼吸等她來道歉。
hold his breath: stop breathing for a short time暫時屏住呼吸
the audience held their breath as the acrobat walked along the tightrope.

4. he would drown his sadness in coffee.
他要用咖啡來消愁。
drown one’s sadness/sorrows in coffee: drink coffee in order to forget one’s troubles用咖啡來消愁
drown one’s sadness/sorrows (in drink): get drunk in order to forget one’s troubles借酒澆愁
5. it was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for li fang to leave—he wiped the table, then sat down and turned on the tv—just what li fang needed.
很明顯, 咖啡館的經理在等李方離開——他擦好桌子, 然后坐下來, 打開電視機。這正合了李方的意！
這是一個較為復雜的句子。it為形式主語, that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for li fang to leave是主語從句。前面的破折號表示進一步的說明, 后面的破折號表示轉折。
6. “. . . i don’t want them to remind me of her. ” so he did.
“……我不想因它們想起她來。”于是他把花和巧克力都扔了。
remind. . . of. . . : cause to remember or be aware of. . . 使……想起或意識到……
he reminds me of his brother.
他使我想起了他的哥哥。
this song reminds me of my motherland.
這首歌使我想起了我的祖國。
7. there was hu jin waving at him. . .
那是胡謹在向他招手……
這是一個倒裝句, 正常語序為hu jin was waving at him there. . . 。
當there, here位于句首并且句子的主語是名詞時, 句子通常需要部分倒裝。例如:
there goes the bell. 鈴響了。
here comes the bus. 車來了。
當句子的主語是人稱代詞時, 句子不需倒裝。例如:
here you are. 給你。
