第四十九課　家庭生活有關(guān)的詞匯
一.本課要點(diǎn)及示例

在這一課里, 我們學(xué)習(xí)幾個(gè)很有用的常用語, 比方 "打定主意" make up one's mind, "解決" work out, "應(yīng)付" cope with 等等. 我們還要學(xué)習(xí)一些跟家庭生活有 關(guān)系的詞匯.

首先我們依照慣例聽一段對話, 內(nèi)容說到亨利的同事南希要跟丈夫史蒂夫分 居的事情. 請你注意兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).

M: Kate, Nancy and Steve are breaking up.

F: It's really a shame. I've heard that they quarrel, but they've always made up afterward.

M: Things are not working out this time. They are getting a separation soon.

F: What is going to happen to their daughter, Bonnie?

M: Nancy is going to take her.

F: The cost of living is so high. It will be difficult for her to take the responsibility. She had better think the whole thing over.

M: She seems to have made up her mind. She said she would rather be a single parent than cope with an unhappy marriage.

F: Well, I hope her parents will be able to talk her out of it.
