重点长难句
It is generally made with carefully selected and purified clay, worked to thin-walled and standardized shapes on a fast wheel and fired in a kiln (pottery oven) capable of ensuring a consistent finish.
When people today are shown a very ordinary Roman pot and, in particular, are allowed to handle it, they often comment on how modern it looks and feels, and they need to be convinced of its true age.
Unfortunately, it is in the nature of the archaeological evidence, which is almost invariably only a sample of what once existed, that such figures will always be elusive.
This abundance is notable in Roman settlements (especially urban sites) where the labor that archaeologists have to put into the washing and sorting of potsherds (fragments of pottery) constitutes a high proportion of the total work during the initial phases of excavation.
But maps that show the various spots where Roman pottery of a particular type has been found tell only part of the story.

This is not just an aesthetic consideration but also a practical one.
These vessels are solid (brittle, but not fragile), they are pleasant and easy to handle (being light and smooth), and, with their hard and sometimes glossy (smooth and shiny) surfaces, they hold liquids well and are easy to wash.
Furthermore, their regular and standardized shapes would have made them simple to stack and store.
When people today are shown a very ordinary Roman pot and, in particular, are allowed to handle it, they often comment on how modern it looks and feels, and they need to be convinced of its true age.
As impressive as the quality of Roman pottery is its sheer massive quantity.
When considering quantities, we would ideally like to have some estimates for overall production from particular sites of pottery manufacture and for overall consumption at specific settlements.
Unfortunately, it is in the nature of the archaeological evidence, which is almost invariably only a sample of what once existed, that such figures will always be elusive.
However, no one who has ever worked in the field would question the abundance of Roman pottery, particularly in the Mediterranean region.
This abundance is notable in Roman settlements (especially urban sites) where the labor that archaeologists have to put into the washing and sorting of potsherds (fragments of pottery) constitutes a high proportion of the total work during the initial phases of excavation.
Only rarely can we derive any &real& quantities from deposits of broken pots.
However, there is one exceptional dump, which does represent a very large part of the site’s total history of consumption and for which an estimate of quantity has been produced.
On the left bank of the Tiber River in Rome, by one of the river ports of the ancient city, is a substantial hill some 50 meters high called Monte Testaccio.
It is made up entirely of broken oil amphorae, mainly of the second and third centuries A.D..
It has been estimated that Monte Testaccio contains the remains of some 53 million amphorae, in which around 6,000 million liters of oil were imported into the city from overseas.
Imports into imperial Rome were supported by the full might of the state and were therefore quite exceptional — but the size of the operations at Monte Testaccio, and the productivity and complexity that lay behind them, nonetheless cannot fail to impress.
This was a society with similarities to modern one — moving goods on a gigantic scale, manufacturing high-quality containers to do so, and occasionally, as here, even discarding them on delivery.
Roman pottery was transported not only in large quantities but also over substantial distances.
Many Roman pots, in particular amphorae and the fine wares designed for use at tables, could travel hundreds of miles — all over the Mediterranean and also further afield.
But maps that show the various spots where Roman pottery of a particular type has been found tell only part of the story.
What is more significant than any geographical spread is the access that different levels of society had to good-quality products.
In all but the remotest regions of the empire, Roman pottery of a high standard is common at the sites of humble villages and isolated farmsteads.

句子的逻辑包含有两种：一种是逻辑关系词所表示的明显的逻辑关系；一种是没有逻辑关系词，但潜在着的逻辑关系，即隐含逻辑。
词汇的认知有三个维度，包括词汇含义、词汇功能与词汇逻辑。词汇含义指的是词汇的字典含义和在实际使用中的具体含义，词汇功能指词汇在句子中充当的角色；通过对词汇含义、在句中功能的认知，可判断词汇在句中隐含的逻辑。除实体词（如名词）之外，大多数词汇背后都有隐含的逻辑。理解隐含逻辑的核心是找到隐藏的逻辑点。而在阅读中，隐含逻辑所在的信息点往往就是出题点。
因此，理解隐含逻辑不仅帮助同学们更清晰地理解文章，还可以帮助理解题目与文章之间的关系，从而提高做题正确率。在阅读考试中，隐含逻辑所在的信息点往往就是出题点。本练习题考查的隐含逻辑有：因果、比较、否定及最高级。详细系统的隐含逻辑学习，请认真听托福阅读第五节方法课和。

She’s already 24 years old.她已经在工作了，是吧？那她肯定是个成熟的人了。她已经24岁了。B: But she is still childish. She is also often sensitive.但她还是很孩子气，而且常常很敏感。A: Age has nothing to do with maturity.

Working is not just about the money, is it?不管是什么工作，如果她不用心做的话，她是没办法乐在其中的。工作不是只和钱挂钩的，不是吗？B: I agree with you.我同意你的说法。tips：①meet one’s target 意为“达到某人的目标/指标”。相当于achieve/accomplish/realize/reach one’s goal。另外，“树立目标”我们可以说set up/establish a goal。②small salary指“薪水低”。有意思的是，英文中表示薪水“低“我们一般不用low,而是用small来形容。形容薪水我们还可以用以下这些形容词：decent/handsome salary(可观的薪水)，humble/ meagre/slender salary(微薄的薪水)，expected salary(期望的薪水)。③by heart指“用心地“，在这里相当于一个副词。还可以与learn, know, get 等动词搭配，表示“默记，牢记”。We had better learn by heart as many sentence patterns as possible.(我们最好尽可能多背句型。)2.

(怎么我们一点都不知道发生了什么？)③it’s useless to do sth. “做某事毫无意义/用处“，相当于It makes no sense to do sth./There is no point in doing sth.3.Have you filled out the withdrawal slip? 你填了取款单吗？Customer: Can you help me?

Thank you for helping me.没有了。谢谢你的帮助。Banker: Please don’t mention it, Sir. Thank you.不客气，先生。tips：①withdrawal slip，指在银行柜台取款时要填的“取款单”。slip 原意为“纸条”。②checking account，指的是“活期存款账户”，与之相对的是time deposit account “定期存款账户“。③set up transaction，transaction多指“交易“。但在银行业中，它指的是”业务“。因此，该短语意为”办理业务“。4.How much is the initial deposit? 起存金额是多少？Banker: Good morning Ma’am, how may I help you?早上好，女士，需要帮忙吗？Customer: I want to open an account.我想开户。Banker: Alright Ma’am, what account would you like to have?好的，你想开什么类型的账户？Customer: Savings account, please?储蓄账户，可以吗？Banker: Would you please fill out this application first?你能先填写下这张申请表吗？Customer: Sure.

Thank you for banking with us, Ma’am.不客气女士，感谢你来我们银行办理业务。tips：①initial deposit指的是“起存金额，开户金额”，在银行开户后需存入一定的金额。②ATM card， ATM的全称为Automatic Teller Machine，意为“自动提款机”。③Thank you for banking with us.值得一提的是句中的bank为动词，表示“办理业务”。5.Don't Forget to Drop Me a Line! 不要忘了给我写封信Adriana: I heard you're moving to New York.我挺说你要搬到纽约啦？Ryan: Yes. I've got an offer in upstate New York.是的，我在上纽约州得到了一份工作。Adriana: Oh, that's great! But I'm going to miss you.噢，太好了。我会想你的。Ryan: Me, too. Let's keep in touch.我也是。我们保持联系吧。Adriana: Yeah.

I'll keep you posted.相信我，我会给你写信的。我会随时告诉你发生了什么。Adriana: You have my address?你有我的地址么？Ryan: Well, I have your e-mail address.我有你的邮件地址。Adriana: All right! I look forward to hearing from you soon. &Good luck!好的。期待早点收到你的来信。祝你好运！tips：①upstate New York 指“纽约上州“。这里科普一下地理知识。美国口语中，上纽约州泛指纽约州除了纽约市及长岛地区以外的所有纽约州，并无官方或正式的行政界线，该区主要以家庭居住的市郊为主。upstate New York 和downstate New York之间并没有明确的界限，只是由于纽约市地处纽约州的最南端，居住在纽约市的人，往往把纽约市以北的整个纽约州都称为纽约上州。②drop sb. a line 指“给某人写封信”，通常指很短的信件，相当于drop sb. a note，但是这种表达没有前者正式。Drop其他的搭配还有drop by，drop in on(顺便拜访)等等，值得大家注意。③keep sb. posted表示“随时告知某人某事”。类似的表达有keep sb. informed of sth. 例句：I’ll keep you posted if there is any change.（有什么变动的话我会告诉你的。）6.A Drink to Our Friendship! 为我们的友谊干杯！William: Are you Margaret? You really changed a lot. I almost didn’t recognize you.你是玛格丽特吗？你真的变了好多。我差点都认不出来你了。Margaret: Yes, I haven’t seen you for ages.是的，好久不见。William: I'm really happy that you could come to this reunion party.你能来参加这个聚会我真的很开心。Margaret: Yeah. It's been years since we did this together.距离我们上次聚会也已经有很多年了吧。William: I know. Maybe around 5 years.我知道。大概5年了。Margaret: Well, anyway, a drink to our friendship!无论如何，为我们的友谊干杯！William: Cheers!&干杯！tips：①I haven’t seen you for ages. “好久不见“。我们日常生活中还会说Long time no see.或者Haven't seen you for a while.②A drink to our friendship! 这是饭桌上的常用语，表示“为我们的友谊干杯！“表达这类意思，我们还可以说“I propose a toast to…”, “Let's have a toast to…”等等。7.Why don't you have a heart-to-heart talk with her? 为什么你们不谈谈心呢？Roger: So, how is your new roommate?你的新室友怎么样？Martha: She really turns me off.她真的很讨人厌。Roger: What happened?发生了什么？Martha: She's always making loud noises at midnight and when I remind her, she always makes rude remarks.她半夜的时候经常制造噪音。每次我提醒她的时候她都对我恶语相向。Roger: Why don't you have a heart-to-heart chat with her?你为什么不和她谈谈心呢？Martha: I tried, but it didn't work.我试过，但是不管用。Roger: But how many times did you try?你试了几次啊？Martha: At least three times. I guess I'm going to complain to the manager. I hope she can be evicted.至少3次。我想我会去跟经理投诉。我希望她能被赶出去。tips：①Turn sb. off表示“让某人觉得讨厌”。例句：She really turned me off when she called my nickname.(每次她叫我小名的时候我都觉得她很讨厌。) 另外，turn off意为“关掉……“，如，turn off the light(关灯)。②have a heart-to-heart chat “交心，谈心“。heart-to-heart在此处做形容词用，为”名词-to-名词“的形式。这一类词还有face-to-face(面对面的)，back-to-back（背靠背的）。不加连字符的时候多作副词使用，比如 hand in hand(手拉手)， shoulder by shoulder（肩并肩）等等。③It doesn’t work.相当于It doesn’t help.，表示“不起作用，不奏效“。8.Honesty is the best policy! 诚实为上策Terri: How are things going with you and your roommate?你和你的室友相处得怎么样啦？Jon: Not very well. &We're supposed to share the groceries, but I end up feeding him three meals a day. &My grocery bill is huge, you know. &I really can't afford it any longer. 不太好。我们本应该分摊食品杂货费用的，结果我承担了他的一日三餐。你知道的，这样我的食品开销就很大。我真的承担不起。Terri: I know how you feel. I used to have a roommate like that. He never offered to reimburse me for anything. 我了解你的感受。我以前也有一个这样的室友。他从来不补偿我任何开销。Jon: I'm really fed up with his freeloading, but I just don't know how to tell him that he should come up with half the grocery bill, because sometimes he treats me to a meal in a restaurant.我真的受不了他这样“吃空饷“，但是我又不知道该怎么跟他说他应该承担一半的费用，因为他有时候会请我到餐馆里吃饭。Terri: Well, honesty is the best policy. Maybe you just want to have a heart-to-heart, friend-to-friend talk with him. &If he refuses to mend his ways, then ask him to move out. You can't let him wear out his welcome.诚实为上策。或许你应该跟他谈谈心吧。如果他屡教不改的话，那你就让他搬出去。他待得越久就越不受欢迎。tips：①How are things going with…? 表示“事情进展得怎样”或“与……相处得怎样”。有时候我们也会说How do you get along with…?②Freeloading这个词地道的中文表达是“吃空饷”，是个贬义词，表示“利用别人慷慨占便宜”，也指“不劳而获”。Without a penny on him, Jack freeloaded his way across America from Los Angeles to New York. (身无分文的杰克靠着别人的帮助从洛杉矶到纽约横越了整个美国。)③wear out one’s welcome 这个表达非常形象。Wear out“磨损，损坏”，因此可以推断出这个词组大致的意思是“使某人不受欢迎”。查阅词典可知，其意为“逗留得太久而使人生厌”。还有一种表达为overstay one’s welcome。9.I Didn't Sleep a Wink Last Night! &我昨晚一夜没合眼！Sydney: Steve, you look pale. &What happened?史蒂夫，你看起来脸色苍白。发生了什么？Steve: I didn't sleep a wink last night.我昨晚一夜没合眼。Sydney: Did you have something on your mind? You look so concerned! Maybe I can help you!你有心事么？你看着很焦虑。或许我可以帮到你。Steve: Well, I'm under a lot of pressure. My boss is very pushy. He assigned me three projects. Now the deadlines are near, and I still haven't finished all of my projects.我承受着很大的压力。我的老板逼得太紧了。他给我分了3个项目。截止日期快到了，我的项目还没有完成。Sydney: Is there anything I can do to help you?有什么我可以帮你的吗？Steve: Well, I guess no one can help me but myself! &For the moment, I just need someone to talk to so that I can relieve my stress.我想除了我自己，没人帮得了我。现在我只想找个人聊聊，释放一下我的压力。tips：①don't sleep a wink 表示“一夜没合眼“。表示”一夜没睡“还可以说don’t get a wink of sleep, lay awake the whole night。②have something on one’s mind “心事重重“。类似的表达还有很多，如weigh heavily on one’s mind, have a thoughtful mind, with a heavy heart等等。③relieve stress 指“释放压力”，“释放”还可以用release。表达相反的意思，“承受压力”，我们可以说be under pressure, withstand pressure, suffer from pressure。10.I Was All Over the Bed the Whole Night Last Night!我昨晚一整晚翻来覆去Jeanette: Sylvia, your eyes look swollen. &What happened? 西尔维亚，你的眼睛是肿的。发生了什么？Sylvia: I broke up with Paul last night and I was all over the bed the whole night.昨晚我和保罗分手了，一整晚翻来覆去睡不着。Jeanette: Well, it's understandable, but Paul isn't the kind of guy that deserves your heartache. &Come on. &You'll find a nicer guy soon.可以理解。但是保罗不是那种值得你这样费心的男孩。加油，你一定会找到更好的。Sylvia: Well, I was restless because I was thinking how I was so stupid that I almost trusted the rest of my life to him....我平静不下来是因为我一直在想我太傻了，居然差点对他托付终身。Jeanette: Oh, Sylvia....噢，西尔维亚。tips：①all over the bed“翻来覆去，无法入睡”，相当于toss and turn in bed。Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep.（担忧会使你在床上翻来覆去睡不着，一直到凌晨终于入睡。）②break up with sb.“分手”。相关的表达还有cheat on sb.(对伴侣不忠)；cut one’s ties（一刀两断）。③trust the rest of one’s life to sb. 就是我们常说的“托付终身“。11.I've got a pretty tight schedule 我时间表排得很紧Cynthia: Hi, Victor, do you think it's possible for us to have a talk sometime today?你好，维克托。今天我们能找个时间聊聊吗？Victor: I'd love to, but I've got a pretty tight schedule today.我也想，但是我今天的时间表排得很紧。Cynthia: Oh, what have you got going on?哦，你要忙些什么呢？Victor: Well, I've got to finish a report by ten. Then I have to drive to the airport to pick up a client of mine at eleven. &After that, I'll have a meeting with him over lunch. I guess I won't have a break until two o'clock. &But then from three until five, I have to attend a senior staff meeting.唉，十点之前我要完成一份报告。十一点我要开车去机场接我一个客户。之后我要和他边吃午餐边开会。我想我两点之前是没有时间休息的。但是三点到五点，我得参加一个高级职员会议。Cynthia: Wow, that's cutting it close.哇，你的时间排得真紧。tips：①get/have a tight schedule，这里的schedule指的是“时间表，日程表“，tight schedule自然就指的是”时间表排得很紧“。②have a meeting over lunch, over lunch指的是“午餐时间”，这个短语指的是“边吃午餐边开会”，也就是我们常说的“午餐会议”。随着现代人时间观念的增强，这种形式的会议越来越常见，因为它既能节省时间，又能使会议氛围轻松愉快。③cut it close指“抠得很紧，几乎不留任何余地”，这里同样指的是“忙碌，没有空闲“。I have a lot of work to do, so I have to cut it close.(我有许多工作要做，所以我要把时间排得紧紧的。)12.It slipped my mind. 我忘记了。Erica: I've sent out the invitations for the dinner party. 我已经把晚宴的邀请发出去了。Manuel: That's good. Now what should we do?很好。现在我们应该做什么呢？Erica: We've got to plan the menu.我们必须要计划一下菜单了。Manuel: Oh, that's right. Do you have anything in mind?哦，是的。你有什么想法吗？Erica: I think I'm going to make the chicken salad we had at Pompa last time. &Remember I asked the chef for the recipe?我想我会做上次在庞帕社区吃的鸡肉沙拉。你记得我还跟厨师讨教过烹饪方法吗？Manuel: Yeah, but did you forget that Linda doesn't eat chicken?是哦，但是你忘了琳达不吃鸡肉的吗？Erica: Linda? &Oh, my Gosh! &I forgot to invite her! &She'll be mad at me. It just slipped my mind.琳达？哦，天哪，我忘了邀请她！她会生我的气的。我忘记了这件事。Manuel: Well, it's not too late yet. &I'll make a phone call. &Don't worry.现在还不晚。我给她打个电话。别担心。Erica: Thanks! &I think I'm getting old!谢谢！我想我是老了。Manuel: Looks like you ARE!看起来是。tips：①have something in mind“有些主意或想法”。值得注意的是，这里我们不能把它跟前面提到过的have something on mind混淆。后者指的是“有心事，有烦恼”。②recipe的基本意义为“食谱，烹饪方法，配方”等等，它还可以引申为“做某事的方法、秘诀等”。常用搭配为recipe for sth.③It slipped my mind. 相比I forgot it., 这个表达更加形象。slip意为“滑落、溜走”，slip one’s mind也就是说“从某人的脑中滑落、溜走”，即“忘记”。Mailing the letter slipped my mind. (我忘记寄信了。)13.He Flared up at Me! 他朝我发火！Judy: You look like you're fuming. &What's going on?你看起来很生气。发生了什么？Andy: The boss is being unreasonable! &He flared up at me, making a mountain out of molehill!老板无理取闹！他小题大做，朝我发火。Judy: What's the &molehill& he made a mountain out of?他怎么小题大做啦？Andy: I only made a few more copies, and I didn't think it was any big deal, but he blew up at me! 我只不过是多复印了几份文件，我觉得这没什么大不了的，但是他突然对我发火了。Judy: Well, he has been under a lot of pressure recently. &The company has been losing money and he's been a little bit depressed. 他最近压力挺大的。公司一直在亏损，他有点沮丧。Andy: Well, I know he has the blues, but it doesn't mean he can vent his anger on me.我知道他心情不好，但这并不代表他可以把火撒在我身上。tips：①flare up at sb,“朝某人发火”。对话中还出现了许多同义词，如blow up at sb./ vent anger on sb.。②make a mountain out of molehill“小题大做”。Molehill原意指“由鼹鼠挖洞扒出的泥土堆成的小土堆”，make a mountain out of molehill “用鼹鼠挖洞扒出的泥土堆成的小土堆垒一座山”即暗指“小题大做”。③have blues“心情不好”。blue一词在前面已经详细介绍过，不再赘述。14.I'm out of quarters. 我没有硬币了。Bonnie: Oh, that's great! The washing machine is out of order again.噢，好吧，这台洗衣机又出故障了。Jason: You can try another one. That one works.你可以试试另外一台。那一台是好的。Bonnie: But I'm out of quarters.但是我已经没有硬币了。Jason: Did you press the coin release lever?你有按那个退币杆吗？Bonnie: Yeah, but nothing happened. I've got to complain because this has happened so many times.按了，但是没有什么反应。我要去投诉，这种情况发生好几次了。tips：①out of order指“杂乱无章；出故障；反常”，这里指机器出故障。表达这层意思我们可以说break down, fail等词。如The machine broke down/failed.(这台机器出故障了。)②out of quarters表示“没有硬币了”。短语out of 表示“没有……”，quarter指硬币，a quarter指的是美国和加拿大的25分硬币。15.Play with Fire 玩火A: They say he has started fifteen big fires.大家说他已经纵火15起了。B: He's been in jail three times already.他已经进了3次监狱了。A: Why did they ever let him out?为什么他们还放他出来呢？B: It's the law. They can't keep him in jail forever.这就是法律。他们不可能关他一辈子的。A: Why not? Everyone knows he's a firebug. He loves to start fires.为什么？大家都知道他是个纵火犯，喜欢放火。B: I don't know. Sometimes the law doesn't make sense.我不知道为什么。有时候法律根本不起作用。A: But his latest fire killed someone.但是他最近犯的一起纵火案害死了人。B: This time they have charged him with murder.这次有人以谋杀罪控告他了。A: So maybe he'll go to jail forever?所以他或许会被判终身监禁？B: I sure hope so. 我也希望如此。A: Someone should set him on fire.真应该放火烧他。B: That would teach him a good lesson.这样能给他一个教训。tips：①firebug, 本意为“萤火虫”，但在美语口语中，该词意为“纵火犯”。②don't make sense，“不起作用”。表示“起作用”我们还可以说make a difference, take effect, work都可以。③charged sb. with sth.“以某种罪名控告某人”，还有一种表达是accuse sb. of sth.例如：He is accused of/charged with stealing.(他被指控偷盗。)④teach sb. a good lesson 意为“给某人一个教训”。16.Who Cares? &谁在乎？A: That was a huge fire in Santa Barbara.圣巴巴拉发生了一场大火。B: Yes, it was.是的。A: They said about 30 houses burned to the ground.听说有30座房子被焚毁。B: And they were expensive houses.这些都是豪宅。A: I feel so sorry for those people.真同情这些房主。B: Why feel sorry for rich people?为什么要同情富人呢？A: I feel sorry for anyone who loses their home.我同情所有无家可归的人。B: So do I, but not if they're rich.我也是，但是我不同情富人。A: What does that have to do with it?这和是不是富人有什么关系呢？B: Rich people think they're better than us.富人在我们面前总是有优越感。A: How many rich people do you know?你认识几个富人呢？B: None.一个也不认识。tips：①be burned to the ground 指“被焚毁，被夷为平地”。还有一个形近短语be dashed to the ground意为“希望破灭，一败涂地”。②have to do with表示“与……有关”，跟have something to do with用法一致。另外还有be related/connected with等等也可以表达这个意思。17.Is it possible for coloring after this treatment?这样护理之后可以染发吗？A: Hi!

But you must put on hair vitamin every hair washing.为什么不可以呢？你可以染色。但是你每次洗头的时候必须加一点营养素。B: Okay. No problem.好的，没问题。tips：①split ends指“发梢分叉”。It’s also fallen down.指“脱发”。②conditioner,值得注意的是，conditioner除了用于我们常说的air conditioner(空调)中表示“调节器”以外，这里指“护发素”，跟后面的hair vitamin意思相近。③hairspray，发胶。其他与头发有关的用品有shampoo（洗发水），hair mask (发膜)，hair dye (染发剂)。18.Do you always have a dog? 你一直养狗吗？A: Why do you look upset?你看起来不太开心。B: I lost my beloved dog.我最喜欢的狗丢了。A: Just go and get a new dog!再去买只新的啊。B: Oh it isn’t as simple as what you think.

It's my first day of school.我这星期刚到。今天是我上学的第一天。B: Really? I think you'll love Vancouver. It's very beautiful here.真的吗?我想你会喜欢温哥华的。这里非常漂亮。tips：①How long have you been in Canada? “你到加拿大多久啦？”have been in “在某地待了多长时间”。大家通常会把这个短语和其他两个短语混淆：have been to, have gone to。have been to意为“曾经去过某地”，现在已不在那里了，常与ever, just, never等词连用。如：They have ever been to the Great Wall。（他们曾经去过长城。）have gone to意为“到某地去了”，说话时作句子主语的人不在现场，通常是第三人称作句子的主语。如： —Where is Tom? —He has gone to the post office。—汤姆去哪里了？—他去邮局了。20.Greetings in Business 商务问候A: Hello. I'm Mia Conners.你好。我是米娅康纳斯。B: Hi Mia. I'm David Sinclair, and this is my partner Gina Evans. (hold out hand to shake)嗨，米娅。我是大卫 辛克莱尔，这是我的搭档吉娜 伊万斯。A: Nice to meet you Mr. Sinclair, Ms Evans.

You two don't look anything alike.没门!你们两个看起来一点也不像。tips：①used to do “过去常常做……”，暗指“现在不做了”。有些同学会将其和另外2个句型混淆：be used to doing是指“习惯于做某事”，其中to是介词；be used to do“被用来做某事”，实质上是use的被动语态。②You two don't look anything alike. “你们俩看起来一点也不像。”alike，表语形容词，“相像的”。22.At a Bus Stop 在公交车站Woman: We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we?没有比这更好的天气了，是不是？Man: I know.

Right now I'm reading a Stephen King book. 我喜欢阅读。我正在读一本史蒂芬·金的书。tips：①We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we? 这是一个反义疑问句，“没有比这更好的天气了，不是吗？”。②I heard he is calling for rain all weekend. “我听说一整个周末都要下雨。”句中的he指的是the weather，这里用了拟人化的手法。③I'm sure you make good money with that diamond watch you have on. “我相信你肯定用你这块金刚钻赚了不少钱”。这里用了比喻的手法，diamond watch并不是指“钻石手表”，而应该是我们常说的“金刚钻”，即“某种专业的技能”。④cast vote for “为……投票”。⑤I'll use this time to catch up on my reading. “我要用这段时间补上我的阅读”，catch up on“补上”。You should get out your English books and catch up on your reading assignments.（你该去把英文课本拿出来，补上你的阅读作业。）23.

There are a few people I haven't said hello to yet.哦,谢谢。我得去跟大家聊聊了。有几个人我还没有跟他们打招呼呢！Man: OK! 好的！tips：①on strike，“罢工”。②take a dip in the pool ，dip意为“浸泡”，这里指“在泳池游泳”。③Well, I better go and jingle. jingle 原意指“发出叮叮的响声”，根据后文的There are a few people I haven't said hello to yet.可以推断出这里jingle应该指“说话，聊天”之类的意思。24.

Do you think they're going to make it to the finals this year?酋长队。你觉得他们今年能挺进决赛吗？Woman: I'm not sure.

Bye.谢谢，再见。tips：①I'm afraid he's booked this week. &Book“预订”，这句话表面意思是“他这周都被预订了”，但这不符合中文的表达，我们应该说“他这周都有预约”。表达类似的意思我们还可以说：I’m afraid he is not available this week.③Would you mind spelling that for me? Would you mind……“你介意……吗？”是征询对方意见的常用句式，后面常接名词或动词的现在分词形式。Would you mind opening the window?（你介意把窗户打开一下吗？）26.Cameron: It's Cameron here.
