lesson 11 情人节

    valentine's day

    01 happy valentine's day!

    情人节快乐！

    注意事项

    情人节是美国的传统节日，这句话表达的是人们在这一天对彼此的祝福，并不是只有情人之间才能说。

    02 i fell in love with you at the first sight.

    我对你是一见钟情。

    词组释义 fall in love with sb 爱上某人

    03 here are some flowers for you, and happy valentine's day.

    送你一些花，祝你情人节快乐！

    语法提要

    前半部分采用了倒装语序，正常语序应该是some flowers are here for yo。当句首是here，there，then等词时，句子要使用完全倒装，即谓语放在主语之前。但如果主语是人称代词则不用倒装，如：here you are.

    04 susan, i'm really happy to have known you.

    苏珊，能够认识你真的很幸福。

    类似表达 susan, it made me happy to have known you.

    05 lucy, would you like to date with me today?

    露西，你今天愿意跟我约会吗？

    类似表达

    lucy, do you want to have a date with me today? / lucy, do you feel like dating with me today?

    06 i'm going to make a pass at her from today on.

    我准备从今天开始追求她。

    词组释义 make a pass at sb 向某人展开追求

    07 how did you spend your valentine's day?

    你是如何过情人节的？

    注意事项

    spend和cost，expend，take都可以表示“花费”，但它们之间是有区别的：spend与cost意义基本相同，但spend主语是人；cost是指花费时间，金钱等，主语是物，不用于被动；expend 是正式用词，通常指为某一目的而花费大量金钱，时间和精力；take是指占用时间，空间或精力，主语可以是人也可以是物。

    08 what do you think is the most important symbol in valentine's day?

    你认为情人节最重要的象征是什么？

    语法提要

    the most important是形容词最高级的构成形式。多音节词的最高级是在前面加the most，如：the most interesting，但前缀为un-的形容词不适用于这种规律，如：untidiest。

    09 wherever are filled with romantic atmosphere in valentine's day.

    情人节到处都充满了浪漫的气息。

    语法提要

    wherever在这里引导的是一个让步条件状语从句，相当于no matter where。如：wherever you are, please remember to keep in touch with us.这句话等同于no matter where you are, please remember to keep in touch with us. 无论你在哪里，不要忘了和我们保持联系。

    10 chocolates and roses are indispensable presents in valentine's day.

    巧克力和玫瑰是情人节不可缺少的礼物。

    语法提要

    and连接两个并列主语且表示两个不同的事物时，谓语动词要用复数。如：boys and girlsare very excellent in this competition.

    11 valentine's day provides us a chance to express our feelings.

    情人节给我们提供了一个表达感情的机会。

    语法提要

    专有名词做主语时，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。如：the great expectation is a classic novel.《远大前程》是一部经典小说。

    12 do you know how to impress the one you love?

    你知道如何打动你喜欢的人吗？

    语法提要

    the one作的是love的宾语，you前面省略了关系代词who，当先行词在句子中作主语时不能省略。

    13 valentine's day is a well-known festival in the world.

    情人节是全世界众所周知的节日。

    单词释义 well-known ['wel'n??n] adj. 众所周知的

    14 why not go to the theater?

    语法提要

    15 would you like to share the story of valentine's day with me?

    你愿意跟我分享一下情人节的故事吗？

    单词释义 share [?e?(r)] vt. 分配，共同承担 vi. 分担，分享 n. 股份，份

    16 do you want to join the valentine's day party?

    词组释义 have a date 约会

    18 all things that i'm interested in are about you.

    我感兴趣的所有事情都是关于你的。

    语法提要

    all所引导的词组作主语时，谓语动词依据它所指代的名词的单复数而定，这里的all things指代的是所有关于你的事，所以谓语动词用复数形式。
