Gucci：What's so special today?
May: Why?
Gucci: Didn't you notice all the roses?
May：It's July 7th. Chinese Valentine's Day!
Gucci: Oh, God 1. I just forget it.
May: I thought you had trouble with Clive!
Gucci: No. But now he will be in bigger trouble! What's a boyfriend 2 for? Forget about Valentine's Day?
May: Poor guy! It's not fair. You forgot it too.
(Gucci's telephone rings. Is it the person who will be in trouble?)
Gucci: Oh, it's Clive.
May: Wow! Good timing 3.
Gucci: Excuse me for a while.
(After calling, Gucci comes back with a big smile on her face.)
Gucci: Clive asked me out to a movie! Do you want to join us?
May：Come on. Two is company.
Gucci: So what?
May: It's Valentine's Day. Come on. Just go.

经典背诵 Recitation 4
Clive: I'm Clive. Gucci is my girlfriend. I'm a bit careless which always gets me in trouble. One time I almost forgot the Chinese Valentine's Day. You know, it's okay for a girl to forget these “big days”. But for a guy, to do that it would definitely 5 be a big trouble. You may think it's unfair. But I'd rather call it reality 6 or the pride to be a guy.

注释
1.Chinese Valentine's Day:中国情人节，指的是农历七月初七，是传说中牛郎织女相会的日子。相当于西方公历2月14日的情人节（Valentine's Day）。
2.What're friends for! 这里是阿美表示自己会站在古奇一边的表达，意思为：我肯定站在你这一边，要不怎么说是朋友呢！在日常生活中，经常是一方表示感谢，另一方会用这种表达方式表示不用客气，意思为：朋友是用来干吗的呀，这是做朋友该做的。
3.Two is company. 完整的表达应是：Two's company, three's none. 意思为：两人成伴，三人不欢。

祈使句
与中文中的定义一样，英语中的祈使句也是表示提出命令、劝告、警告、禁止和请求等的句子，以动词原形开头，句末用感叹号或句号，一般用降调。祈使句的主语通常都是第二人称，所以通常都省略。

Do keep your bedroom clean and tidy. 务必保持你的卧室干净、整洁。
（3）用祈使句也可以表达客气的语气，在句首或句尾加please。在句尾加please时，要在please前加逗号
Keep quite, please. 请保持安静。
May, come earlier next time, please. 阿美，下次请早点儿来。
2.祈使句的否定形式Don't+动词原形
