,do you have the key to the trunk ?

enjoy it. I researched it for over a year. It's our family tree. Ellen
: Oh , Grandpa! How exciting !

Like I always said, you look just like Grandma. Philip : I think you're
going to be very happy here with us. Ellen: I know you will. Grandpa

「语言点精讲」
1. I'd better unpack. I'd better do sth.我最好做某事unpack:打开
(行李等),是反义前缀un加上动词 pack 构成的。
2. Pleasant dreams. 做个好梦,在别人准备就寝前的道别语。亦说 "Sweet
dreams."
3. I have the key , but it doesn't work. 钥匙在我这儿,但它打不开。
work的意思是“起作用,行得通,有效”,是不及物动词,不带宾语。
4. It's our family tree. family tree:家谱,家族的历史。
美国人现在流行写“家谱”,甚至有专门的公司帮助寻找家谱。
5. Fabulous !
太好了。这是口语用法。
美语中说某物很好,有不少夸张性的说法,如:wonderful ,marvelous ,
fantastic ,terrific以及这里出现的 fabulous 等。其中除了 wonderful外,
都不宜用于正式场合,因为不免有些孩子气。另外,注意terrible是很糟糕的意
思,请不要与terrific混淆。
6. Why, I didn't know that your grandfather was born in Germany.
Why :你看。这里的why 不是疑问词,而是用在句首表示惊讶的情绪。
7. Like I always said , you look just like Grandma.我一直这么说,
你长得像奶奶。
Like I always said:就像我一直说的那样。这是一种比较口语的说法,在
书面的较正式的语言中,通常不用like而用连词as.
