4. 课文讲解

• 1、Last week I went to the theatre.
  动词 go 的原义是离开一个地方去另一个地方，与介词 to 连用后，常加上主语所要去的目的来代表主语的动作目的。
  go to the +地点 表示去某地干嘛
  go to the theatre = go to the theatre to see a play去剧场看戏 go to the cinema = see a film去电影院看电影
  go to the dairy 去牛奶店
  go to the + 人 + 's 表示去这个人开的店
  go to the doctor’s 去看病；go to the butcher’s 买肉
  以下短语中名词前不加冠词：
  go to school 去上学；go to church 去做礼拜；go to hospital(医院) 去看病；go to bed 上床，睡觉；go home(跟 home 相连一定表无事情可做,回家休息)
  I am at home. 在家休息
• 2、I had a very good seat.
  seat 一般指戏院、汽车等配置的固定座位，也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”等概念。
  the front seat of a car 汽车的前座

• 3、I did not enjoy it.
  ① enjoy + n. 喜欢,从当中得到一种享受(后面不能跟人I enjoy the music. /the dinner/film/program/game
  ② enjoy oneself / 代词 玩的开心
  We always enjoy ourselves.
  ③ enjoy +动名词 Jane doesn’t enjoy swimming.
• 4、I got very angry.
  get 在这里有“逐渐变得”的含义，接近 become，是个表示过程的动词，表示状态的变化。而 I was very angry 则仅表示当时的状态是生气，并不暗示过程。
  I am/was angry. 是一个事实、I got angry. 强调变化过程 It is hot.、It got hot.
  got 取代 be 动词，got 是 半系动词,可直接加形容词。
• 5、I could not hear the actors. I turned round.
  hear+人:听见某人的话
  I could not hear you. Beg your pardon?
  I couldn’t hear you./I couldn’t hear a word./I couldn’t catch your words.

• 7、I can’t hear a word!
  I can’t hear a word.
  美音:肯定 I can /kæn; kən/ 否定,I can’t /kænt/,它的/t/是吞进去的, 在读音上很难区别, 只能根据上下文来定
  hear a word of sb. (a word 等于一句话)
  He didn’t say a word.
  May I speak to Jim?/May I have a word with Jim?
• 8、It’s none of your business.
  one’s business 指某人(所关心的或份内)的事

  none相当于not any或no one，但语气较强。
