But when I went to America I was really looking forward to 5 a nice easy holiday without any 6 problems.
7 wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a 8 telephone to give my American friend Danny a 9 and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked 10 he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that's 11 .” he exclaimed, “Are you getting 12 ?

1.从短文首句I made my first visit to the United States得知,这是“我”到国外去,因此选abroad,意思是“到国外”. 2.上学的时候学过法语. 3.因为上学时学过法语,又加上“我”经常到法国去,因此“我”已经习惯与人们说外语了.全文叙述的是过去的情况,因此应该用过去时. 4.因为我懂法语,因此我能够与那些不懂英语的人讲话. 5.having a nice easy holiday“有一个偷快、轻松的假期”. 6.前面讲的是“我”在语言上足以能过关,因此说“我”想没有语言问题. 7.How引导感叹句.How修饰形容词wrong,表示程度. 8.因为这时“我”在机场,因此“我”想找一个公用电话. 9.从下文I want to give my friend a ring得此答案. 10.他问“我”他是否能帮助“我”.if引导宾语从句,意思是“是否”. 11.从后文我们可以看出老人以为“我”要结婚,因此他说“很好”来表示祝贺. 12.从下句 Who is talking about marriage?得此答案.get married意思是“结婚”. 13.从短文首句When I was only 16 years old我们得知,老人觉得“我”的年龄还不适合结婚,因此他说“但是,你不是还太年轻了吗?” 14.just在此相当于only. 15.很明显,“我”想让他告诉“我”电话亭的位置. 16.did用在肯定句中起强调作用. 17.联系上下文,Danny在这里说她也遇到过一些麻烦. 18.上文中所出现的情况是语言使用习惯的问题,因此Danny说美国人在使用单词的意思上与英国人不同. 19.从下句Most of the… British and American people understand each other我们可以看出,Danny对“我”说,“我”不久就会对这一切习惯的. 20.大多数时间,美国人和英国人能彼此理解. |
