1.Good morning.早上好。

英语中常见的问候用句。对此问候的回应一般也是Good morning。根据一天中见面时间的不同还可以说Good afternoon (下午好)和Good evening(晚上好)。有时英美人见面时只简单地说一声Hello。

2.This is Miss Sophie Dupont.

这位是索菲娅·杜邦小姐。

This is+姓名是将某人介绍给他人时常用的句式。课文中的例子还有：

Sophie, this is Hans.

索菲娅，这位是汉斯。

And this is Naoko.新概念英语课文下载

这位是直子。

3.Mr. Blake/Miss Sophie Dupont，布莱克先生/索菲娅·杜邦小姐。

英语国家中人的姓名通常由3部分组成，即：名+中间名+姓。

在一般情况下，不用中间名。在熟悉的人中间，以名相称，而在正式的场合中常用Mr.(先生)，Mrs.(太太)，Miss(小姐)或Ms.(女士)这些称呼再加上姓。

Mr.用于男士的姓之前，不能单独使用，如课文中的 Mr.Blake;而sir 一般单独使用，是对长者、上司或男顾客的尊称，如：

Sorry, sir. 对不起，先生。

Miss 一般用于指未婚女子，不过有时在不知道对方是否已婚时也可使用。

4.Nice to meet you.很高兴见到你。

用于初次与他人见面等非正式场合。对方的回应一般应为Nice to meet you，too(我也很高兴见到你)。

人们在正式的场合初次见面时常用：How do you do?相应的回答也是：How do you do?这是一句问候语，并非问话。

5.国籍与国家名称有别

请不要将国家名称和与其对应的国籍搞混。课文的French，German，Japanese，Korean以及Chinese都是表示国籍的词。句中表示中国国籍的词应为 Chinese 而不是China。

语法 Grammar in use

1.特殊疑问句

以疑问词 who，what，when，which，why，where，whose，how 等引导的问句都叫特殊疑问句，也叫疑问词疑问句，有时还被称为wh-问句(wh-question)。结构一般为：疑问词+助动词+主语+主动词等。作为疑问词的what可以用来询问名字、国籍、工作、颜色、型号等。例如以下几个问句：

What make is this car?

这辆小汽车是什么牌子的?

What nationality are you?

你是哪国人?

What is your job?

你的工作是干什么?

What colour is it?

它是什么颜色的?

What size is this skirt?

这条裙子是多大号的?

2.a 和 an

Sophie is a new student.

索菲娅是一名新学生。

This is an umbrella.

这是一把雨伞。

这两个句子中出现的a/an在英语中被称为不定冠词。a和an在意义上没有区别。用a/an时，我们必须记住两条基本原则：

(1)a/an有不确定的意义(即所说的人、动物或东西对听者或读者来说可能是不知道的)。

(2)a/an只能用于单数可数名词之前。

此外还需注意a和an的发音：a(在平时讲话中发/+/音)用于辅音(不是辅音字母)之前;an(/+(/)用于元音(不仅仅是以元音字母a，e，i，o，u开头的词)之前。当我们把a或an用来说明字母表中的字母时，便会一目了然：

This is a B/C/D/G/J/K/P/Q/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z.

这是一个 B/C/D/G/J/K/P/Q/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z字母。

This is an A/E/F/H/I/L/M/N/O/S/X.

这是一个A/E/F/H/I/L/M/N/O/S/X字母。
