Language Points 語言要點(diǎn)

1. Excuse me. 對不起。這是一句用以引起別人注意的話,以提醒對方有事相求。2. 動詞 go 的用法:go 是一個不及物動詞,不能直接加賓語。要與介詞連用。
  常用的介詞是 to。例如:
go to school 去上學(xué) 
go to the coffee shop 去咖啡館
go 的后面可直接加副詞。例如:
go upstairs 上樓 
go downstairs 下樓 
go straight ahead 一直往前走


Cultural Notes 文化注釋

    常說的一句道歉的話是 Excuse me. 即對不起。比如當(dāng)你要從別人面前走過的時候,你要說聲 Excuse me. 當(dāng)你就餐中要離席而去時,你要說聲 Excuse me. 但是,過多的道歉則是美國人難以接受的。在美國,一個外國人更不必為自己講不好英語而向別人道歉。
