Susan 心里惦记着下午的业务会议,她想要回去工作。Harry 和Michelle的
失望使Susan 决定改变自己的工作计划。
Susan : Oh , it's a quarter to four , and I have a production meeting
at four. Harry: I planned to take you for a ride in Central Park in a
horse and carriage. Susan : Harry, I'd love to, but I have work to
do. Harry : OK , We'll walk back to your office with you. It's so nice
out. I decided to forget about my accounting problems and just enjoy this
beautiful spring day. Take the time , Susan. Susan : I know I should,
but … well , there are too many things to do. Harry : I understand.
I'll go for a ride with Michelle. Susan : Right. Well, I had a really
nice time. Harry: So did I. Michelle : So did I. I'm sorry you can't
come with us, Susan. Susan : So am I. Harry : Bye-bye. Susan : Harry!
Michelle! Can you wait till I make a phone call?
Harry : Sure.
「语言点精讲」
1. I planned to take you for a ride in Central Park in a horse and
carriage. 我原来计划带你到中央公园坐马车兜风的。
take(you ) for a ride :带(你)去坐车。 take for 是短语动词,带
(某人)去(乘车,散步等)。
Central Park:中央公园。纽约市的中央公园位于曼哈顿(Manhattan )中
心,是美国最大的公园之一。园内可供徒步健行、慢跑、骑自行车,还可以乘四
轮马车(carriage)游览,公园旁的大都会博物馆( Metropolitan Art Museum)
则更是世界闻名的艺术宫殿。
2. It's so nice out.外面天气真好。在此out 意思为“outside ”。
3. I decided to forget about my accounting problems and just enjoy
this beautiful spring day.我决定忘掉我那些会计上的问题,只是享受一下这
美好的春日。
decide to do sth. :决定做某事,下定决心做某事。
forget about(sb./sth./doing sth. ):忘记,忘掉(某人/ 某事/ 做某
事)。
4. Take the time. 花这点时间吧。不要吝惜这个时间。在这里Harry 的意
思是说:Take a break from your work and be with us.
5. I had a really nice time.我今天过得很高兴。这是和朋友、熟人告别
时常用的说法。
6. So did I. so+助动词(情态动词)+ 名词或代词:这一简捷地表示肯定
的相同事物或状况的说法中,中间的助动词或情态动词由前面句子来决定。
如本情境中Susan 说了“Well, I had a really nice time.”,Harry 和
Michelle回应“So did I. ”(相当于“I also had a nice time. ”)
又如下面一句: Michelle 对Susan 说“I'm sorry you can't come with
us, Susan. ”这次Susan 的回答则是“So am I.”(相当于“I am also sorry
I can't go with you.”)
