1.He’s now studying in the United States. 他现在正在美国学习。

study 在此处作不及物动词“学习”，作及物动词时，相当于learn。

2. His dad and uncle are watching the boat races on TV. 他的爸爸和叔叔正在通过电视看船赛。

★辨析race和game：二者都有比赛的意思，区别如下：

race 指赛跑、速度方面的比赛，入赛车、赛马等。a horse race 赛马 game 指决定胜负的游戏，通常有一套规则，凡参加者均需遵守，多用于美语，英国英语则用match，此时game与match可互换。a football game/match。

3. But there isn’t a Dragon Boat Festival in the US, so it’s like any other night for Zhu Hui and his host family.但是在美国没有端午节，因此对朱辉和他的寄宿家庭来说，今晚和其他任何一个晚上一样。

(1) any 在此处为限定词“任何的，任一的”，与单数名词连用，用于肯定句，起强调作用。 E.g. :Come here with any friend. 随便带什么朋友来吧。

★any一般用于疑问句或否定句中，修饰复数可数名词或不可数名词，而肯定句中用some。 There don’t have any friends here.他们这里没有朋友。 There have some friends here.他们这里有一些朋友。

Do they have any friends here? 他们在这里有一些朋友吗？

★当表示建议、请求或希望得到肯定回答时，some可用于疑问句中，而不用any。 E.g.: Would you like some bananas? 你想要一些香蕉吗？ Can I have some apples? 我可以吃些苹果吗？ ★any 还可以作代词，在句中作主语或宾语。 Is there any left？还有剩下的吗?(做主语) Nobody wants any. 没有人想要这些。（做宾语）

教室里有20名学生，15名是男孩子，其余的都是女孩。 The mother is reading a story to her young children. 那位母亲正在给她的幼小的孩子们讲故事。

children是child的复数形式 ，意为“孩子们”

children是不规则的名词复数形式，作主语时，谓语动词用复数。其名词所有格直接在词尾加‘s。

4.Zhu Hui misses his family and wishes to have his mom’s delicious zongzi. ★miss 及物动词“怀念，思念”，其第三人称单数形式misses

miss的其他用法：miss作及物动词，还可意为“没赶上，错过”；miss首字母大写时“Miss”意为“小姐，女士，老师”，用于未婚女性的姓氏前。 ★wish此处为及物动词“希望”。wish sb. sth. 祝愿某人某事E.g.:We wish you a happy new year. Wish (sb.) to do sth. 希望（某人）做某事 E.g.:I wish you to go.

wish还有名词的词性，常用复数 E.g.:Best wishes to you. 给你最美好的祝愿。 5....but there’s still “no place like home”.......但仍然没有比家更好的地方。 still副词“仍然，还”，表示某事仍然在继续，多用于肯定句或疑问句中。

E.g.: My mother is still cooking. Are you still working there?
