1.A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian.一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语。

(1)虽然friendly是以-ly结尾，在拼法上与许多副词一样，但它却是形容词：

He always greets me in a friendly way.

他总是亲切地和我打招呼。

She gave me a friendly greeting.

她友好地和我打了一下招呼。

He is not very friendly to John.

他对约翰不太友善。

类似的形容词有： brotherly, fatherly, manly, lovely, motherly 等。

(2)a few可与复数可数名词连用，表示肯定，含有some, a small number of(一些，少数几个)的意思：

The police would like to ask him a few questions.

警察要问他一些问题。

Mother is coming in a few days.

妈妈过几天就要来了。

2.Then he lent me a book. 之后还借给我一本书。

像send, buy, give等动词一样，lend可以有两个宾语：一个直接宾语(通常指物)，一个间接宾语(通常指人)。(cf.本课语法)在这句话中，lend的直接宾语为a book，间接宾语为me。

Would you lend me your pen?

能把你的笔借我用一下吗?

Yesterday I lent my dictionary to Mary.

昨天我把字典借给了玛丽。

3.…but I did not understand aword.……但一个字也不懂。not…a的否定意义比单用not要强。课文的最后一句加了single"，语气更强。

4.Every day I thought about postcards. 我每天都想着明信片的事。

think about可以指某一段时间一直在想/考虑某事：

I often think about the lovely holiday we had last year.

我经常回想我们去年度过的愉快的假期。

What are you thinking about?

你在想什么?

I'm thinking about my friends.

我在想我的朋友们。

5.make a big decision, 作出一项重大决定。

make/take a decision, 作出决定。这是个常用的词语搭配，可以灵活使用：

It was not easy for me to make/ take this decision.

对我来说作出这项决定并不容易。

You have made/taken a wrong decision.

你作出了个错误的决定。

Have you made/taken a decision?

你决定了吗?

6.I spent the whole day in my room…我在房间里关了整整一天……

(1)spend与表示时间的词/短语连用时，意思为"花(时间)"、"度过"：

We're going to spend three days in the country.

我们打算到乡下去3天。

spend还可以表示"花钱"：

If we spend all the money, we'll be poor again.

如果我们把所有的钱都花光了，我们又会变穷的。

I can't spend any more on this car.

我不能再为这车花钱了。

(2)whole表示"整整的"、"整个的"：

a whole year一整年

a whole bottle of milk一整瓶牛奶

two whole weeks整整两星期新概念英语3mp3下载

新概念英语第二册第1课语法 Grammar in use

1.一般过去时 (The simple past tense) 与一般现在时

上一课的语法提到一般现在时可以表示习惯性或经常性的动作。在用一般现在时询问有关习惯的问题时可用ever。

一般过去时通常表示过去发生的而现在已经结束的事件、动作或情况。它通常指动作何时发生，而不指动作持续多久。因此，过去时与表明事情何时发生的状语连用是非常重要的。

像last summer, last winter, last week, lastnight等这类状语只能与过去时连用，不能与现在时连用，因为它们确指过去的时间。

2.直接宾语 (Direct object) 与间接宾语 ( Indiret object)

许多及物动词后可以有两个宾语，直接宾语通常是动作所涉及的事物，间接宾语表示动作是对谁做的或为谁做的，通常是人。这类动词有give, show,send, bring, lend, tell, return, write, pay, teach, make, buy,find等。通常间接宾语在前，紧跟动词;不过，如想要强调直接宾语，也可将它置于动词之后、间接宾语之前。这时，间接宾语之前则必须用介词to或for：
