(三)要點
1.though （1）adv. 副詞，用于口語中，in spite of this ; however ；意思是“盡管如此，然而”，放在句尾。（2）conj. 連詞，although ; despite the fact that 意思是“雖然，盡管”，放在句首或句中，不與but連用。
2. remind sb of sb./sth. “提醒某人某事；使某人回想起或意識到某人（某事）。例如：reading the text reminds me of its author lu xun. 讀這篇課文使我想起了它的作者魯迅。remind sb. to do sth. 意為“提醒某人去做某事”。例如： mother often reminds me not to be late for school. 媽媽常提醒我上學不要遲到。
3.be on display相當于be on show，意為“展覽、展出”。在英語中，on+名詞，往往含有“正在進行”之意。如：on duty“值日”，on business“在辦事”，on show“被展覽”，on leave“在休假”，on fire“在著火”，on sale“在出售”等。
4.whatever, whoever, whichever, wherever等疑問詞，可引導狀語從句，表示“無論……，不管……”之意。在口語中還可用no matter + wh一詞來代替。例如：whatever i did ( =no matter what i did ), no one paid any attention. 不管我做什么事，都沒有人注意。
5.“it is said + that從句”，意為“據說……”。也可以用“they say + that從句”或“people say + that從句”替換。
6.touristy為形容詞，是由tourist加后綴-y而構成的。相當于full of tourists 意為“（貶義、口語）游客很多的，吸引游客的”。例如：the coast is terribly touristy now. 海濱區現在到處都是游客。
7.on vacation 意為“在度假，在休假中”，這主要是美式用法，英國人常用on holiday. 其中的介詞on是表示狀態、方法等，意思是“進行中，在……中，于……狀態”。例如：
