第十九课: 在元宵节灯会上
Lesson 19: At the Festival

在这一课中,利奥带杰克和蒙纳一起去了元宵节灯会的现场,您可以通过他们之间的对话学习如何定约会,如何向客人介绍文化景点,以及如何讲述历史典故。另外,我们还要学习EXECUSE ME这个短语的诸多用法。现在,先让我们一起来听这段对话的第一部份。在这段对话中,利奥、杰克和蒙纳来到了元宵节灯会的现场。

Mona: Thank you for saving my hat today, Leo.
Leo: My pleasure.
Mona: You were very brave.
Leo: It was nothing, really. Now, if we get separated we’II meet back here.
Jack: At the gate?
Leo: Yes. Now these are for you.
Mona: Lanterns!
Leo: Yes. Yours is a butterfly.
Mona: Oh,it's pretty.
Leo: It represents longevity. And yours is a crab, Jack. lt's said to be the symbol of the emperor.
Mona: And what's yours, Leo?
Leo: Mine's a lobster.A symbol of fun.

让我们再听一遍对话的录音,我会把每个句子翻译成中文。
Mona: Thank you for saving my hat today, Leo.
蒙纳: 利奥,谢谢你今天捞回了我的帽子。
Leo: My pleasure.
利奥: 我很高兴为您效劳。
Mona: You were very brave.
蒙纳: 你当时真的很勇敢。
Leo: It was nothing, really. Now, if we get separated we’II meet back here.
利奥: 那真的没什么。请注意,如果我们大家走散了的话,我们就回到这里来汇合。
Jack: At the gate?
杰克: 在大门那里吗?
Leo: Yes. Now these are for you.
利奥: 对的。哦,这是给你们的。
Mona: Lanterns!
蒙纳: 灯笼啊!
Leo: Yes. Yours is a butterfly.
利奥: 是呀,你的是蝴蝶灯笼。
Mona: Oh,it's pretty.
蒙纳: 哦,真漂亮啊。
Leo: It represents longevity. And yours is a crab, Jack.lt's said to be the symbol of the emperor.
利奥: 它代表长寿的意思,杰克,你的灯笼是一只螃蟹,据说它是皇帝的象征呢。
Mona: And what's yours, Leo?
蒙纳: 哪你的灯笼是什么形状的呢,利奥?
Leo: Mine's a lobster.A symbol of fun.
利奥: 我的是一只龙虾,它意味着快乐。

请注意听利奥是如何告诉客人在什么地方会面的。
Leo: Now, if we get separated...
利奥: 那真的没什么。请注意,如果我们大家走散了的话,
Leo: we'II meet back here.
利奥: 我们就回到这里来汇合。

由于一些旅游景点的人很多,因此事先和客人预定走散情况下在什么地方会面是十分重要的。让我们一起来练习这个句子。请注意听并跟着重复。
lf we get separated.
lf we get separated.
We’II meet at the gate.
We’II meet at the gate.
lf we get separated, we’II meet at the gate.
lf we get separated, we’II meet at the gate.

请继续听下面的句子。
Leo: It represents longevity.
利奥: 它代表长寿的意思。
利奥: 杰克,你的灯笼是一只螃蟹。
Leo: And yours is a crab, Jack.
Leo: lt's said to be the symbol of the emperor.
利奥: 据说它是皇帝的象征呢。
Mona: And what's yours, Leo?
蒙纳: 哪你的灯笼是什么形状的呢,利奥? 、
Leo: Mine's a lobster.A symbol of fun.
利奥: 我的是一只龙虾,它意味着快乐。

在介绍文化和景点的时候,有两个句型非常有用,那就是It represents...和It's a symbol of……,它们的中文意思是:它表示。。。它意味着。。及它象征着。。。让我们一起来听录音并和老师一起练习句型。
Leo: My pleasure.
Mona: You were very brave.
Leo: It was nothing, really.

Leo: we'II meet back here.
Jack: At the gate?

好,在接下来的课程中,让我们一起来学习一个非常有用的短语Excuse me。对不起。 这个短语可以在很多情况下使用。例如当你要打断某些人正在进行的对话时,或者你想引起他人对你的注意时,你都可以使用这个短语。请听示范。

当你要从比较近的距离内从他人面前走过时,你可以说excuse me.以此表示歉意。另外,如果你想让他人重复他刚刚讲过的话时,也可以使excuse me这个短语,意思就是:可否请你重复一遍刚才说的话。
l'm leaving on the tenth.
Excuse me?
I said, l'm leaving on the tenth.

在出现一些意外状况的时候,比如把水洒在了桌上,或者碰掉了别人的皮包时,我们都可以说excuse me,以此表示歉意。Excuse me这个短语的另外一个用法就是当你需要离开他人时,你可以用这个短语来表达你不得不离去的意思。请听英文老师的示范。
Excuse me for a minute.
Excuse me,I must go.

您现在了解了吗?excuse me是英语中非常重要和常用的一介短语。同时我也注意到,有很多学英语的朋友们在这个短语的发音上还有一些问题,那现在就让我们跟着英文老师一起来练习一下吧。
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me,are you Mr Le?
Excuse me,I don't understand.
Excuse me for a minute.
Excuse me,l must go.
