Notes 1. You should be on time. 你要准时。

on time准时

e.g. This meeting is very important. Please be there on time. 这个会议很重要，请准时出

席。

The teacher always comes to class on time. 老师总是准点到教室。 英语中和on time容易混淆的短语in time的意思是“及时”。

e.g. He returned home just in time to see his cousin. 他及时回到家，见到了堂兄/弟。 注意两者的区别：in time表示在规定的时间点前后都可以；而on time表示在规定时间点之前或规定的时间点到（不能晚）。

2. I’m afraid I have to get up at four tomorrow morning. 明天我恐怕四点就要起床了。

在口语中，I’m afraid 意为“恐怕”，主要用来委婉地提出异议或说出令人不快的事情等。 e.g. I’m afraid (that) he is ill. 恐怕他是生病了。

It’s too expensive, I’m afraid. 这个可能有点太贵了。

3. I tell you, when I went to the company for the interview, it took me more than three hours to

get there. 告诉你吧，我去公司面试的时候，在路上花费了三个多小时。 I tell you或I’ll tell you用在句首，引起对方对将要讲述内容的注意。 4. That’s just what I was thinking about. 我也正是这样想的。

what I was thinking about为表语从句，just为副词，表示“正好，恰恰是”，起强调作用。 e.g. This carpet would be just right for the dining room. 这块地毯放在餐厅正好合适。

The twins look just like each other. 这对双胞胎真的很相像。

5. But a Polo, or a Chery QQ, or a Beijing Jeep is not beyond us. 但我们还是买得起大众波

罗、奇瑞QQ或北京吉普的。

beyond sb. 超出某人（支付等的）能力 e.g. A color TV is beyond him. 他买不起彩电。

These problems are beyond Tom. 这些题对汤姆来说太难了。

6. You have a point there. 你说的有道理。

这个句型表示同意对方的观点。

e.g. — It’s meaningless to spend so much money on clothes. 没必要花这么多钱买衣服。

— You have a point there. 你说得对。

? Step Three: More cars or more buses - 2 -

A. Have students listen to the tape or CD. Then complete each question. B. Have students listen to the dialogue again and check the answers with students. C. Explain the key language points.

D. Draw students’ attention to the features of the language employed by guides. For example,

guides usually start their introduction of each attraction with “Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at…” Meanwhile, they would ask the visitors some questions to better their knowledge of the attraction and try to be closer to the visitors. Notes 1. Ladies and gentlemen, we are now on the busiest street in our city. 女士们，先生们，现在我

们正位于本市最繁忙的街道上。 *gentleman n. 先生，阁下

e.g. Excuse me, but this gentleman has a question for you. 打扰一下，这位先生有问题要问您。

An elderly gentleman sat reading a newspaper in the corner of the waiting room. 一位老先生坐在休息室的角落里看报。 gentleman还可表示“绅士，有身份的人”。

e.g. He’s too much of a gentleman to get involved in a quarrel like this. 他很有绅士风度，不

会卷入这样的争吵。

2. I’m very much surprised by the large number of cars in the street. 街上有那么多汽车，真让

我吃惊。

be surprised by是一个被动用法，表示“……令某人吃惊”。如果把这个句子变为主动形式，则为：The large number of cars in the street surprises me very much。 注意：另一个短语be surprised at表示“对……感到惊奇”。

e.g. You will be surprised at his progress. 你会对他的进步感到惊讶。

3. People in this city seem to rely more and more on cars now. 现在这个城市的人似乎越来越

依赖汽车了。

在这个句子中，people为主语，in this city为后置定语，修饰people。 △rely vi. 依靠，依赖 rely常和介词on搭配。

e.g. I’m relying on the garage to fix the car by tomorrow. 我指望修理厂明天能把车修好。

The success of this project relies on everyone making an effort. 本项目的成功有赖于诸位一起努力。

rely on和depend on的意思和用法基本相同，但前者强调的是全心信赖，而后者强调的是依赖以得到支持或帮助。

? Step Four: Planning the travel to the Three Gorges A. Acquaint students with the given situation.

B. Have students work with a partner to complete the dialogue and role-play the situation.

E. Explain the language for making comparisons given in the Learning Box. Notes 1. One wants to take a cruise on the Yangtze River and the other insists on taking a train. 一人

想乘船在长江上航行，另一人坚持要乘火车。

使用one…the other时，我们通常是针对两者，即指“两者中的一个……，另一个”；如果所谈论的情况不是针对两者，而是针对多者，那么我们就要用one…another。 e.g. It’s sometimes hard to tell one twin from the other. 双胞胎有时很难区分。

Her lecture was hard to follow because she kept jumping from one subject to another. 她的讲座很难听懂，因为她不断地从一个主题跳到另一个主题。 insist on 坚持，坚决要求

e.g. They insisted on more money. 他们坚持要更多的钱。

She insisted on coming with us. 她坚持要和我们一起来。

2. They finally agree on taking a cruise to the destination and taking a train back home. 他们最

终达成一致，决定乘游轮去目的地，再乘火车回家。 *finally ad. 最后，最终

e.g. They played very hard and finally won the game. 他们拼命比赛，最终赢得了胜利。 finally表示等了好久才“终于……”，强调过程的漫长或艰难。 3. Why not? 可以呀。

why not在此处表示同意或赞成，意为“好的；可以呀；为什么不可以呢”。 e.g. A：May I go with you? 我可以和你一起去吗?

B：Why not? 可以呀。

A：I wonder if I could make a living by writing. 我不知道能不能靠写作维持生计。 B：Why not? 那可以呀。

4. Come on! 得了吧！

come on在交际中有多种意思。

1）表示不同意对方的观点，或轻微的责备。

e.g. Come on. How can you think like that? 得了吧。你怎么会有那样的想法？

Come on. Don’t sit there dreaming. 得了吧，别坐在那儿空想了。 2）表示请求、鼓励、劝说。

e.g. Come on, Lucy. Don’t be so shy. 来吧，露西！别害羞。 3）表示催促。

e.g. Come on. It’s getting dark. 快点，天要黑了。 4）表示挑战或激怒对方。

e.g. Come on! I’m not afraid of you. 来吧！我才不怕你呢！
