详细解说
“wake up”在这里是个不及物动词词组,意思是“醒来”,另外,还可以
表示“开始听或者开始注意某事”。例如:James usually wakes up early.
(詹姆士通常醒得很早。)Wake up at the back there!(注意后边!)另
外,“wake sb. up”表示“叫醒某人”,是个及物动词词组。例如:I'll wake you up when it's time to leave.(该走的时候我会叫醒你的。)
“go off”在本段对话中表示闹钟“响”。
“You slept right through it.”的意思是说“闹铃响的整个过程中,你都在
睡觉。”,所以译为“你睡过了。”“it”指“闹铃响的时候”。“through”在本句话中表示“(时间上)从开始到结束”,例如:He slept right through the day.(他睡了整整一天。)
“Rise and shine!”是口语中一种幽默的表达方式,表示“起床!”。
“The early bird catches/gets the worm.”是一句谚语,意思是“早起的鸟
才会有虫吃。”

Forrest Gump 《阿甘正传》(1)
生活就像一盒巧克力。
Life Was like a Box of Chocolates.
大部分人都在一定程度上觉得自己很聪明,并且为了能够“更好地”生活,变得越来越世故。观看完《阿甘正传》这部美国经典奥斯卡影片之后,我们不禁为我们这些自以为是的人感到些许惋惜。影片中的阿甘是一位有智力残障的人,他思想单纯,只知道一直坚持不懈地做自己想做又喜欢做的事情,却能接二连三意外地收获“成功”。他的一句经典台词“生活就像一盒巧克力,你永远不知道自己会得到什么。”道出了阿甘对生活的态度:未来是无法预测的,只要我们认认真真地做好每件事情,快快乐乐地过好每一天,生活就是美好的。下面节选的是阿甘在公交车站等车时,跟一位妇人交谈时的一段台词,现在结合声音资料,让我们一起体会阿甘对生活的态度… >> MORE P115
从左边下床, 还是从右边下床呢
你每天早上起床是从左边下床还是从右边下床呢?也许你会说为什么要问这么无聊的问题?你也许没有注意到,不论从左边下床还是从右边下床,每个人总是固定从一边下床的,不会今天从左边下,明天从右边下。
当然这无非是个人习惯问题,的确是无关紧要的,但英国人却在这个问题上大作文章。他们认为,一个人如果不按自己的习惯,换一边下床,即“get out of bed from the wrong side”,便会导致心情不好(in bad mood),容易发脾气(easy to lose one’s temper):
Don’t talk with him. He must have got out of bed from the wrong side and is in a very irritable mood.
你别和他说话。他今天心情不好,火气很大。

不应“依赖老师”
很多中国学生在学英语的时候,看似付出了“极大努力”:他们听课非常认真,笔记也做了厚厚的几大本,老师指定的习题都能按时完成。但几年下来,英语水平却没有明显的提高。这是为什么呢?我们知道,英语作为一门语言技能,和其他科目的学习存在着差别,除笔头练习外,更应注重个人的口、耳训练。而这类同学在学习时缺乏主动性,过于依赖老师。他们对于知识只是被动地接受,而不是主动地思考,更别提对所学内容的巩固强化和融会贯通了。英语学习的主体是学生自身,而不是老师,老师只是起了一个引导和辅助的作用。中国的那句古话“师傅领进门,修行在个人”说的就是这个道理。

起居室(drawing room)一词的来源
通常,我们回家后,就会毫无顾忌地在起居室(drawing room)的沙发上躺下来,因为在外面劳累了一天,回到家里终于可以放松放松(relax)了。
看到这里,大家不禁要问,“起居室”不是写成“living room”或“sitting room”吗?为什么还能写成“drawing room”呢?
我们知道draw有“绘画”的意思,但是“drawing room”(起居室)却与艺术一点也不相干。“drawing room”是指“接待客人的房间”,也就是“客厅”或“起居室”,其英文解释是“a room, especially a large room in a large house, where people sit and relax, or entertain guests”,它是一种比较正式的说法。
关于“drawing room”的来源,其背后有个小故事。“drawing room”这个词源自于“withdrawing room”。在英国过去有个习惯,为了让女士们不受男士“吞云吐雾”的吸烟之害,就要求她们在用餐后待在饭厅旁的另一个房间。也就是要求女士们从饭厅中“退出来”(withdraw),然后男士们就可以尽情地抽烟喝酒、高谈阔论,而不受干扰了。
至于女士们所停留的那个房间,本来叫做“withdrawing room”,后来就约定俗成地写成“drawing room”了。

详细解说
“pitch in(with sth.)”在这里表示“加入进来帮忙(做某事)”。例
如:If we all pitch in, we’ll have it finished in no time.(如果我们大家都加入进来帮忙做,我们马上就能完成了。)
“hon”是“honey”的简写形式,意为“亲爱的”,为称呼语。
“bell pepper”指“青椒”(颜色可以是红、黄、绿)。
“gotcha”的发音为[5^CtFE],在这里表示“明白了”,相当于“I under-
stand.”。

Amazing Windshield Wiper 神奇的雨刷
The windshield wiper blade on the driver's side quit while driving in a blinding storm. I pulled over and tried to figure out a quick fix. I found a yellow cotton work glove lying on the floor. I wedged it under the wiper arm. It did a great job keeping my windshield clear. Not only that-you'd be surprised at how many people waved back.
在一场倾盆大雨中我开着车,突然驾驶座这一侧的雨刷胶皮坏了。我把车停到一边,看看能不能想个办法快点把它修好。这时我看到地上有一个黄色的棉纱工作手套。于是就把它塞到雨刷杆的下面。它还挺好用,不但把挡风玻璃刷干净了,而且还出乎意料地使许多人向我招手。

餐馆是反映一个国家文化的重要窗口。在西餐中,菜肴通常会被分成几大类,如主菜前的开胃食品(starters)、主菜(main dishes)、甜点(desserts)及饮料(beverages)。在国外,菜单上的价格一般包括了税款。一些餐馆的菜单或广告上印有licensed或fully licensed的字样,这表明这些餐馆有特许卖酒的执照。一些繁忙而有名气的餐馆特别强调预先订座,集体用餐更需如此。在欧美国家,人们把小费当作是薪水的一部分。如果你拒不付小费,就表示漠视其社会制度,也会给自己带来不少麻烦。当然服务品质不好,便没有必要付小费。另外,收小费的人也是有人格的人,不要在大庭广众下故意施舍,应该自然而且诚恳地给予对方。用餐后给服务生的小费一般为顾客就餐费用的15%左右。
