  Notes on the text課文註釋

1 在英文表示某一種商店的短語中,往往可以把shop這個詞省略,如課文中的the butcher's (shop)和the greengrocer's (shop)。類似的例子還有the hairdresser's (shop), the stationer's (shop), the doctor's(office), my mother's (house)等。

2 在英文中,過去發生的而現在已經結束的動作要用一般過去時來表示。“是”(be)動詞的過去式不規則‘第一、第三人稱單數用was,其他情況用were。

3 How are you all keeping?

這是一句問候對方身體如何的話。

4 for the weekend是指整個週末這幾天的時間,而at the weekend是強調時間的某一點。

5 Aren't you lucky!

這句話是否定疑問句形式的感嘆句,爲的是加強語氣。儘管形式上是否定的,但卻表示強有力的肯定。
