課文注釋及詞匯講解
* try 試圖
try to do sth. 盡力做某事
eg. We'll try to meet the customers' demands
我們將盡力滿(mǎn)足客戶(hù)的需求。

* Do you like it here?
你喜歡這兒?jiǎn)幔?BR> 注意:
代詞"it"在這里沒(méi)有什么實(shí)際意義,但必不可少。因?yàn)閔ere為副詞,like為及物動(dòng)詞,所以需要有it做賓語(yǔ)。
* How do you find Tokyo?
你覺(jué)得東京怎么樣?
也可以說(shuō)成 "What do you think of Tokyo?"或 "How do you like Tokyo?"
* interesting 令人感興趣的
eg. The film is interesting.
這部電影很有趣。
Interested (人對(duì)某事或某物)感受到有興趣的

eg. Are you staying long?
你逗留的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)嗎?

注意:
stay為不及物動(dòng)詞,所以在第二個(gè)例句中一定要接介詞in ,這樣才能帶賓語(yǔ)。
* unfortunately 令人遺憾,運(yùn)氣不好地
eg. Unfortunately, I can only stay for a week.
真遺憾,我只能呆一周。
* Business or pleasure?
出差還是度假?
本句為 "Do you come here for business or for pleasure?"的省略句。在口語(yǔ)中經(jīng)常用省略句。
* I'm afraid… 我恐怕……,恐怕是……[有時(shí)可以不直譯]
該句式用于緩和語(yǔ)氣或婉轉(zhuǎn)地表達(dá)想法,也可以用于表示不肯定的語(yǔ)氣。

* traditional 傳統(tǒng)的
eg. I thought Atlanta world be more traditional.
我原以為亞特蘭大會(huì)更加傳統(tǒng)一點(diǎn)兒。
注意:
這里 I thought 為過(guò)去時(shí),表明"我原以為,現(xiàn)在不這樣認(rèn)為了"。若用了 I think則意味著"我一直這樣認(rèn)為,現(xiàn)在也是"。
