起床太晚

It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'

'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.

'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'

【课文翻译】

那是个星期天,而在星期天我是从来不早起的,有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天,我起得很晚。我望望窗外,外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气!”我想,“又下雨了。”正在这时,电话铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车,”她说,“我这就来看你。”

“但我还在吃早饭,”我说。

“你在干什么?”她问道。

“我正在吃早饭,”我又说了一遍。

“天啊,”她说,“你总是起得这么晚吗?现在已经1点钟了!”

【知识点讲解】

1 get up [短语] (使)起床

get up 还有①起身、站起(相当于stand up);②(海浪、风等)增强、变猛烈的意思。

例句:Everyone get up when the manager came in.

当经理走进来时每个人都站立起来了。

2 sometimes 有时候

sometime,sometimes,some time,some times用法区别

sometime

(1)副词:某个时候。可指过去或将来的某个时候。

(2)形容词:(指某人曾经是……)从前的,过去的,意思类似former,偶尔的。

例句:We’ll take our holiday sometime in August.

我们会在八月找个时间度假。(将来)

This is our sometime general manager.

这是我们的前任总经理。(过去)

sometimes 副词:有时候。另外,at times也是“有时”的意思。

例句:Sometimes, I recall the campus life.

有时候,我会回想起大学生活。

some time 某段时间。常与for连用。

例句:I will stay here for some time.

我将在这儿待一段时间。

some times 几次。several times也可以表示“几次”,但比some times较确定。time作可数名词时可作“次数”解;表示“时间”时是不可数名词。

例句:He has been to America some times.

他去过几次美国。

3 outside adv. 在外面;向外面,也可表示在户外。

例句:I am cleaning the house, please wait outside for several minutes.

我正在打扫屋子,请在外等几分钟。

4 on sundays,指每个星期日。星期几的前面要用介词on。

例句:I usually go hiking on Friday.

我通常在星期五去远足。

5 What a day!

多么糟糕的天气!这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is!英语中的感叹句常用what开头,后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词),然后是主语和谓语,句尾用感叹号,即其基本形式是:What+(a)名词+主谓结构。使用what感叹句时要注意:如果what后面是可数名词单数,则一定要加不定冠词。what后面的名词词组不能加定冠词。

例句:What a happy day we had yesterday!

昨天真是开心的一天!

What bad news it was!

真是个坏消息!

6 I'm coming to see you.

在这句话中,是用现在进行时表示近期计划或安排将要进行的动作。

具有这种语法功能的词仅限于过渡性动词,比如:come, go, leave, start, arrive, return等。

例句:My aunt is coming tonight.

我姨妈今晚要来。

【上期作业回顾】

将下面的三个句子翻译成英语。

1 因为那时她在外地出差,所以她没来。

She didn't come because she was on a business trip at that time.

2 我听见她的笑声。

I heard her laughing.

3 没人注意他离开了。

Nobody paid attention to his leave.
