详细解说

3.详细解说

1.“English debate group”指“英语辩论小组”。

2.“provided”在这里不是动词过去式或过去分词，而是连词，意思是“倘若，假如，如果”，也作“provided that”。例如：He can come with us，provided he pays for his own meals.（如果他能自己出饭费他就可以和我们一起来。）There's no annual fee provided that you use the credit card at least six times a year.（如果你一年能至少使用信用卡六次，就没有年费。）Provided (that) there is no opposition, we shall hold the meeting here.（倘若无人反对，我们就将在这里开会。）Provided (that) all is safe. you may go.（假如一切安全，你就可以去。）
3.“twice a week”意思是“一周两次”，类似的说法还有：once a day（一天一次），three times a month（一个月三次）。four times a year（一年四次）等等。

4.文化洗礼

“Yes”，你会用吗

通常我们大家都认为，只要一说出“Yes”，就表示同意了，事实真的就是如此吗？一起来看看下面的例子：
A: Mr. Smith.
B: Yes?
A: Is this CD yours?
B: Yes.
A: Don't you like pop music?
B: Yes,I do.
A: Can I put it on?
B: Yes.
对话中所出现的四个“Yes”分别是什么意思？
第一个“Yes”是对别人的呼唤作出的反应，表示“我听到了，叫我有什么事吗？”
第二个“Yes”是对对方问题作出的肯定答复，表示“是的”。
第三个“Yes”是根据自己的实际情况进行的答复，意为“我喜欢一，如果要是“不喜欢”，则要回答“NO”。
第四个“Yes”表示同意对方的请求，意为“行，可以”。
