Marilyn 为采办晚饭的原料而发愁时,Richard 于心不忍,向Marilyn 坦白
了自己并没有在高级健身班的课程上运动。Marilyn 要求Richard 和她一起再去
一次,并通过这次的结果来决定到底由谁来为全家人做晚饭。
Marilyn : Grandpa, Ellen, Philip , Robbie , you and me. That's
six steaks. Richard : Don't forget Susan. Marilyn: Seven steaks. Cooking
dinner for the entire family is not so easy. The shopping : the salad
: tomatoes , lettuce, cucumbers and onions. The main course: steak
and potatoes. Richard , how much broccoli do I need for seven people ?
Richard : Marilyn, I have to tell you something. At today's exercise
class …
Marilyn : Yes, Richard. Richard : Well , I didn't really exercise.
Marilyn : I knew it!
Richard : I wanted to, but Jack Davis needed a photographer. I'm
sorry , Marilyn. Marilyn : I don't understand. Did you exercise or not?
Richard : No. Instead of exercising, I photographed the class. Marilyn
: And you didn't exercise?
Richard : No. Marilyn: There's another advanced class today at four
o'clock. We'll go together. Richard : What about the bet ?
Marilyn : Oh , the bet is still on, but you shop for the groceries.
Remember, you win, and I cook dinner for the entire family. Richard
: You win, and I cook dinner for the entire family. Marilyn : Including
Susan. Four o'clock at the advanced exercise class. With me.
「语言点精讲」
1. How much broccoli do I need for seven people ?
7 个人吃饭得买多少花椰菜?
how much后面跟不可数名词,如broccoli, lettuce.how many 后面则跟可
数名词,如tomatoes, onions.
2. Marilyn, I have to tell you something.玛丽琳,有件事我得告诉你。
在向人承认自己隐瞒的事时可以用这句话来开头。谈一件不幸或不愉快的事
时也可以用它来开头。
3. I knew it!
我早料到了!
Richard 终于说出实话,Marilyn 便埋怨丈夫一句。I knew it 之所以用过
去时,是因为意思是“我早知道”,“我本来(当时)就知道了”。
4. Instead of exercising, I photographed the class.我没参加锻练,
而是给他们班拍照来着。
instead of…表示“而不是……”,“没有……,而是”。后面跟名词、代
词宾格或动名词。of后面的是没有做的事,主句里的动词是做了的事。
5. Oh , the bet is still on. 嗨,这个赌还得接着打呀。此处on是副词,
表示某件事或者某种状况仍在延续。又如:Don't worry about grammar , so
long as the communication is still on.(只要交际活动能够有效进行,就不
必为语法伤脑筋。)
The battle is still on. (战斗还在进行。)
