自学导读
1.My name's = My name is。
这是自我介绍时通常使用的句型:My name is…(后面加上自己的姓名)。有时也可用I'm…这一句型。
2.Are you French,too?你也是法国人吗?
在英语中,too和either两个词都表示"也"的意思,然而too仅用于肯定句中,either 则限于用在否定句中。too和either一般都放在句末,且前面通常用逗号隔开。例如:
Is Sophie Italian, too?
索菲娅也是意大利人吗?
Is Robert a keyboard operator, too?
罗伯特也是电脑录入员吗?
3.What nationality are you?你是哪国人?
此问句用来询问对方的国籍。也可以问 Where are you from?或 Where do you come from?
4.What's your job?你是做什么工作的?
What's =What is。询问对方从事何种职业时还可以说:What do you do?
5.I'm an engineer.我是工程师。
I'm/aim/=I am。口语中经常使用这种缩略形式。英语不定冠词有两个:a,an。在发音以元音音素开头的词前面用an,在发音以辅音音素开头的词前面用a。engineer/?enDNi'ni+/的发音是以元音音素开头的,所以前面要用an。(可参见Lessons 5~6 中的有关说明。)
6.数字16~20的英文写法
16-sixteen 17-seventeen 18-eighteen
19-nineteen 20-twenty
语法 Grammar in use
以疑问词what所引导的特殊疑问句
(可参见 Lessons 5~6中的有关说明。)What…?这一问句可以用来询问国籍、工作等等:
What nationality are you?
你是哪国人?
What's your job?
你是干什么的?
对于以上两个问句可如下回答:
I'm Swedish.
我是瑞典人。
I'm an air hostess.
我是一名空中小姐。
现在不妨改用第3人称单数来进行类似的问答:
