【温故知新——习题答案和点评】
Last time we finished learning 1 the lesson—— Look me in the eye and tell me something which is a way to ask somebody not to tell lies. And at the end of the programme, I left some translation exercises for all of you and now I'll let the answers out in the open.
Dialogue one —— 猜猜我今早在超市遇到谁了？
—— 是你的前夫吧。
—— 不是，是当年和他鬼混在一起的那个女人。
—— 那真是个贱人，拆撒了你美好的家庭，致使Rose在不完整的家庭中长大。—— 不提了，过去的就过了吧。
—— Guess who I ran into this morning? —— It might have been your first husband happened to. —— Nope, it was the woman running around with him, stumbled 3 across. —— Oh, terrible! Gag me! It was the cheap woman who had broken up your warm family so that Rose grew up in a single-parent family , hurted in mental health. —— Forget it. Let bygones bygones.
【点评】
（1）这段对话使用了run into, happen to , stumble 2 across三个不同的短语表达了meet somebody by chance（偶遇），这样使读者阅读时不觉得枯燥乏味。
（2）根据语境，正确地使用了虚拟语气，对过去事情不是很肯定的推测用情态动词might + have done(3)短语丰富：a cheap women 贱女人（cheap不但有便宜的意思，还有卑贱的意思。） break up one's family 拆散某人的家庭 run around with 与......(在性事上)鬼混, in a single-parent family不完整的家庭(这里对不完整的家庭进行了意译，本对话中，不完整的家庭就是指“单亲家庭”) so that 以致于.......（引导结果状语从句）mental health 心理健康。
（4）由于这个是对话，对话中正确的使用俚语可以使得谈话幽默诙谐。该对话中的俚语是gag，it means 4 "to make somebody discuting".
（5）使用了一个现在分词短语和三个过去分词短语: happened to 是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰 husband; stumbled across是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰woman, hurted in mental health 是过去分词短语做伴随状况状语，running around with him是现在分词短语做后置定语修饰woman.
（6）“It was she who has broken up your warm family”是强调句式，其结构为：it+系动词+被强调部分（该句强调的是主语she） ,强调遇到的是那个女人。
(7) 对话的结尾使用了一句谚语：Let bygones be bygones. 让过去的就过去了吧。
Dialogue 2—— 出什么事儿啦？你怎么哭了？
—— 我今天在桂林饭店遇到我失散多年的现在身居台湾的亲姐姐，我以为她已经在战乱中丧生了。
—— What the deal with you? You are crying. —— I am too excited to control my emotions because I stumbled my sister living in Taiwan who must have lost his life in the war in Guilin Hotel.
【点评】
（1)这里使用很好的口语化的句子（也就是俚语）：What's the deal with somebody? 来代替了书面语言what's the matter ( problem) with somebody? 跟它同意的俚语还有What's with... What's new with...
（2）短语：too ... to stumble across(3)失散多年的翻译为long-lost，这是一个复合词，其结构为形容词加上过去分词性质的形容词。
（4）使用了不同的方式来作定语修饰同一个名词，使句子结构灵活多变，具有跳跃性：living in Taiwan 是现在分词短语作后置定语修饰名词sister，who must have lost his life in the war 是定语从句作后置定语修饰名词sister。
（5）根据语境，正确的使用了虚拟语气，表示对过去事情很肯定的推测，用情态动词must have done的结构。

3 我喊：“加油，中国队。”几乎把嗓子都喊哑了。
I've nearly lost my voice with shouting.'Come on, China Team.' 【点评】loose one's voice 声音嘶哑 with shouting 介词+动名词做伴随状况状语。
4 我要你在十一点以前干完。还等什么？赶紧动手！
You need to have the job done before eleven. Come on，jump to it！ 【点评】 (1)使用了一个很好的短语结构表达“叫某人做某事”：have something done（2） jump to something 该短语很形象的表达出赶紧做某事的意思，jump是“跳”的意思，我们看到跳水健儿跳到水中的速度是很快的。
（3）理解了come on的意思，对“还等什么？”而不是直译为：What are you waiting for?这里进行意译，5 快点吧, 你们这些小伙子, 咱们动手干吧Come on, (you) guys, let's get going! 【点评】 Let's get going. 这是个很经典的口语句子。It means "to start doing something". 还有一个是 Let's get started. 值得注意的是get后面跟go和start的话，go使用的是现在分词，start使用的是过去分词。
6 得了吧, 你这样做不公平. Come on, you're not playing fair. 【点评】play fair 习语，意为“公平公正”“光明磊落”。
7 算了罢，你把它 当做儿戏了！
Come on! You've getting it into kid games.
【点评】短语get something into kid games 把......当做儿戏8 得啦! 看一晚上戏不会倾家荡产的. Come on! One evening at the theatre won't break the bank. 【点评】 break the bank 这个短语很形象的表示了“倾家荡产”的意思。
9 来吧, 振作起来; 你喝得太多了! Come on, snap 5 out of it; you drank too much! 【点评】snap out of 迅速从......中恢复过来。 不知道大家走进了可可地盘有声桌面口语壁纸节目没有，我们刚刚学玩这些表示振作起来的俚语： get a grip 6 on oneself/ take a grip on oneself/ pull oneself together/ get a hold of oneself.
11 来，把它用明白的语言说出来。
Come on, and have it out in plain words. 【点评】have it out 说出来。前些日我们学过了Let's have it. 是叫别人把他不知道的事情全盘说出。
12 好啦, 快点儿吧, 我们看电影已经晚啦. Come on, shake a leg, we've been late for the film already. 【点评】shake a leg 用动动你的腿来很形象地表示催促人抓紧时间。
13 振作些！不要坐在那里做白日梦。
Come on! Don't just sit there daydreaming 7. 【点评】 daydreaming 现在分词做伴随状况状语。

【主题】
Okay , in future we are going to learn ways to ask about somebody what someone is thinking of something. This morning let's come to the first one that is similar to saying "Give me your answer." It indicates that the speaker is expecting a person to say yes or no. What's it? Let's get the answer from the following the dialogue.
A : Come with me to the party tomorrow. What do you say?
B : That sounds a lot of fun to me.
【答疑解惑】
It is "What do you say?" It's used to ask for an agreement. It's similar to saying in Chinese: 怎么样？ 你觉得呢？and so on. Attention please, here "What do you say?" isn't used to ask for comments of people's talking. Let's look at it's uses. 1 What do you say to going out for a drink? 出去喝一杯怎么样？Here's a sentence pattern: What do you say to+ ving? 做某事如何？
2 What do you say that we call it a day? 我们今天的工作就到此，怎么样？Here's a sentence pattern: What do you say + an object clause 8. 3 What do you say to that? 这事儿怎样？Here's a sentence pattern：What do you say to + 名词，代词等. 某样东西，某事如何？

【温故知新】
Well , let's call it a day, what do you say? My dear friends from Keke net? 哈，juliet在这里是即学即用了。I think you'll go to work, so do I.
