  《新概念英语》第二册第23课 A new house 新居

  【课文】

  First listen and then answer the question.

  听录音,然后回答以下问题。

  Why is the new house special?

  I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

  【课文翻译】

  昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信,她住在尼日利亚。在信中她说她明年将到英国来。如果她来了,她会感到非常惊奇了。我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了,是在5个月以前竣工的。我在信中告诉她,她可以和我们住在一起。这栋房子里有许多房间,还有一个漂亮的花园。它是一栋非常现代化的住宅,因此在有些人看来很古怪。它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。

  【生词和短语】

  complete v. 完成

  modern adj. 新式的,与以往不同的

  strange adj. 奇怪的

  district n. 地区

  【知识点讲解】

  1 get a surprise

  这个短语里,surprise作“使人惊奇、意外的事物”讲,是可数名词。

  His boyfriend promises to give a surprise to her for birthday.

  他男朋友答应在她生日时给她个惊喜。

  2 in the country 在乡下

  Many people choose to live in the country when they are old.

  很多人选择老了后去乡下居住。

  3 Work on it had begun before my sister left.

  这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了。

  在这个句子里,work是名词,作主语,指住房的建设,而it是指房屋。因为建设这个动作发生在姐姐离开之前,所以动词begin用了过去完成时。类似的句子有:

  I had finished my work when my mother called.

  妈妈给我打电话时我的工作已经做完了。

  4 complete [动词]使齐全,使完整;结束,完成

  This government intends to complete this project by the end of this year.

  政府计划在年底完成这个项目。

  complete还可以做形容词,表示完全的,彻底的;完整的,整个的。其副词形式是completely。

  complete with sth.

  包含,含有(额外部分或特征)

  a complete change 翻天覆地的变化 in complete silence 万籁俱寂

  She was completely touched by this movie.

  她完全被整部电影打动了。

  5 stay with sb. 与某人暂住,在某人处逗留

  My friend is going to stay with me during the holiday.

  我朋友节假日要来我这里住几天。

  短语扩展:stay the night 过夜 stay in 呆在家里,不外出 stay out 呆在户外,不在家,不回家

  stay over 留宿 stay up 熬夜,深夜不睡

  6 so it looks strange to some people.

  因此在有些人看来它很古怪。

  be strange to sb. 陌生的,不熟悉的,奇怪的

  短语扩展:fell strange 感觉不自在,感觉不舒服

  例句:Peking Opera is strange to some foreigners.

  对某些外国人来说,京剧是一项陌生的事物。
