課文詳注 Further notes on the text

1.Good morning.早上好。

英語中常見的問候用句。對此問候的回應一般也是Good morning。根據一天中見面時間的不同還可以說Good afternoon (下午好)和 Good evening(晚上好)。有時英美人見面時只簡單地說一聲Hello。

2.This is Miss Sophie Dupont.這位是索菲婭·杜邦小姐。

This is+姓名是將某人介紹給他人時常用的句式。課文中的例子還有：

Sophie, this is Hans.

索菲婭，這位是漢斯。

And this is Naoko.

這位是直子。

3.Mr. Blake/Miss Sophie Dupont，布萊克先生/索菲婭·杜邦小姐。

英語國家中人的姓名通常由3部分組成，即：名+中間名+姓。

在一般情況下，不用中間名。在熟悉的人中間，以名相稱，而在正式的場合中常用 Mr.(先生)，Mrs.(太太)，Miss(小姐)或Ms.(女士)這些稱呼再加上姓。

Mr.用于男士的姓之前，不能單獨使用，如課文中的 Mr.Blake;而sir 一般單獨使用，是對長者、上司或男顧客的尊稱，如：

Sorry, sir.

對不起，先生。

Miss 一般用于指未婚女子，不過有時在不知道對方是否已婚時也可使用。

4.Nice to meet you.很高興見到你。

用于初次與他人見面等非正式場合。對方的回應一般應為Nice to meet you，too(我也很高興見到你)。

人們在正式的場合初次見面時常用：How do you do?相應的回答也是：How do you do?這是一句問候語，并非問話。

5.國籍與國家名稱有別

請不要將國家名稱和與其對應的國籍搞混。課文的 French，German，Japanese，Korean以及Chinese都是表示國籍的詞。句中表示中國國籍的詞應為 Chinese 而不是 China。

1.特殊疑問句

以疑問詞 who，what，when，which，why，where，whose，how 等引導的問句都叫特殊疑問句，也叫疑問詞疑問句，有時還被稱為 wh-問句(wh-question)。結構一般為：疑問詞+助動詞+主語+主動詞等。作為疑問詞的what可以用來詢問名字、國籍、工作、顏色、型號等。例如以下幾個問句：

What make is this car?

這輛小汽車是什么牌子的?

What nationality are you?

你是哪國人?

What is your job?

你的工作是干什么?

What colour is it?

它是什么顏色的?

What size is this skirt?

這條裙子是多大號的?

2.a 和 an

Sophie is a new student.

索菲婭是一名新學生。

This is an umbrella.

這是一把雨傘。

這兩個句子中出現的a/an在英語中被稱為不定冠詞。a和an在意義上沒有區別。用a/an時，我們必須記住兩條基本原則：

(1)a/an有不確定的意義(即所說的人、動物或東西對聽者或讀者來說可能是不知道的)。

(2)a/an只能用于單數可數名詞之前。

此外還需注意a和an的發音：a(在平時講話中發/+/音)用于輔音(不是輔音字母)之前;an(/+(/)用于元音(不僅僅是以元音字母a，e，i，o，u開頭的詞)之前。當我們把a或an用來說明字母表中的字母時，便會一目了然：

This is a B/C/D/G/J/K/P/Q/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z.

這是一個 B/C/D/G/J/K/P/Q/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z字母。

This is an A/E/F/H/I/L/M/N/O/S/X.

這是一個A/E/F/H/I/L/M/N/O/S/X字母。
