Lesson 40 Food and talk 进餐与交谈

First listen and then answer the question.听录音, 然后回答以下问题.

Was Mrs. Rumbold a good companion at dinner?

Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs.

Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,'I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'

'No,'she answered.

'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?'I asked.

'NO,'she answered.

'Will you be staying in England?'I asked.

"No,'she answered.

In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

'Young man, 'she answered,'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!'



参考译文

在上星期的一次宴会上, 女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁. 兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人, 穿一件紧身的黑衣服. 当我在她身旁坐下来的时候, 她甚至连头都没有抬一下. 她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子, 不一会儿就忙着吃起来了. 我试图找个话题和她聊聊.

"一出新剧要来'环球剧场'上演了, "我说, "您去看吗?"

"不, "她回答. "您今年去国外度假吗?" 我又问.

"不, "她回答.

"您就呆在英国吗?" 我问.

"不, "她回答.

失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意.

"年轻人, "她回答说, "如果你多吃点, 少说点, 我们两个都会吃得好的!"

【课文讲解】

have dinner 不加 "a" , 而 "at a dinner party" 中的 "a" 并不修饰 "dinner" 而是 "party"

ask sb to do sth祈使句

next to : 与......相邻 / sit next to me 坐我旁边

unsmiling : bad mix 很难与人融合

the new film is coming to the cinema. / A new play will be on at 'the globe' 即将上映

the film will be on那部电影即将要上映

'Are you enjoying your dinner?'

用虚拟语气 :

1、与现在事实相反, 从句使用一般过去时, 主句使用would+动词原形

if you ate more and talked less,we would both enjoy our dinner

if it rained,it would not be hot如果下雨, 就不会这么热

if you help me,I will be grateful如果你帮我, 我会感激你 (正常语气)

if you helped me,I would be grateful如果你帮了我, 我会感激你(可惜你没有帮我, 我不会感激你)

if it rained,I would not go. (会去的)

if it rains,I will not go.(不一定会去) 正常语气

【Key structures】　关键句型

If you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!

a Do you remember these sentences:(KS16)

你还记得这些句子吗?(参见第16课关键句型)

在以下条件句中, 主句中用将来时或祈使句, 而从句中则用现在时.

It he is out, I'll call tomorrow. If have time, I'll be writing to him tomorrow.

You'll miss the train if you don't hurry. Please don't disturb him if he is busy.

If he is working I'll not disturb him.

b Now study these sentences carefully:

细读以下句子 :

在这一类条件句中, if从句谈论想像的情况, 主句则推测想像的结果. 在从句中要用动词的过去时, 这并不表明过去的某一特定时间或过去某一动作, 因此常被称作 "非真实的过去" , 整个条件句也被称作非真实条件句. 如果if从句中的动词是be, 那么应该在第一和第三人称单数名词之后用were.

If you went to the exhibition you would enjoy it. 假如你去看展览, 你会喜欢的.

If you saw him now you wouldn't recognize him. 假如你现在见到他, 你会认不出来的.

Would he get annoyed if I told him about it? 假如我把此事告诉他, 他会烦恼吗?

If I were in your position, I would act differently. 假如我处于你的位置, 我会采取不同的作法.

He would help you if he were here. 假如他在这儿, 他会帮你的.

If you could make him change his mind, you would save him a lot of trouble. 假如你能使他改变主意, 你会使他免了许多麻烦.
