新概念英语2课文(Lesson 1-4)

Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily.

'It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'

参考译文

上星期我去看戏。我的座位很好,戏很有意思,但我却无法欣赏。一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后,大声地说着话。我非常生气,因为我听不见演员在说什么。我回过头去怒视着那一男一女,他们却毫不理会。最后,我忍不住了,又一次回过头去,生气地说:“我一个字也听不见了!”

“不关你的事,”那男的毫不客气地说,“这是私人间的谈话!”

Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐?

It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'

'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.

'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'

New words and expressions 生词和短语

until prep. 直到

outside adv. 外面

ring v. (铃、电话等)响

aunt n. 姑,姨,婶,舅母

repeat v. 重复

Notes on the text 课文注释

1. on Sundays,指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。

2. What a day! 多么糟糕的天气!这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is! 英语中的感叹句常用what开头,后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词),然后是主语和谓语,句尾用感叹号。

3. I'm coming to see you. 在这句话中现在进行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要进行的动作。

4. Dear me! 天哪!这也是一个感叹句。

参考译文

那是个星期天,而在星期天我是从来不早起的,有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天,我起得很晚。我望望窗外,外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气!”我想,“又下雨了。”正在这时,电话铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车,”她说,“我这就来看你。”

“但我还在吃早饭,”我说。

“你在干什么?”她问道。

“我正在吃早饭,”我又说了一遍。

“天啊,”她说,“你总是起得这么晚吗?现在已经1点钟了!”

Lesson 3 Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片

Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Everyday I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!

New words and expressions 生词和短语

send v. 寄,送

postcard n. 明信片

spoil v. 使索然无味,损坏

museum n. 博物馆

public adj. 公共的

friendly adj. 友好的

waiter n. 服务员,招待员

lend v. 借给

decision n. 决定

whole adj. 整个的

single adj. 唯一的,单一的

Notes on the text 课文注释

1. a few words,几句话。

2. lent me a book中,lent是“借出”的意思。我们常说lend sb sth 或lend sth to sb。

borrow是“借入”的意思,常用的结构是borrow sth 或borrow sth from sb。

参考译文

明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。去年夏天,我去了意大利。我参观了博物馆,还去了公园。一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语,之后还借给我一本书。我读了几行,但一个字也不懂。我每天都想着明信片的事。假期过得真快,可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。到了最后一天,我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床,买来了37张明信片。我在房间里关了整整一天。然而竟连一张明信片也没写成

He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth.
