課文詳注 Further notes on the text

1．I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. 我剛剛搬進(jìn)了大橋街的一所房子。

move常用的意義是“動(dòng)”、“移動(dòng)”。在這句話里它的意思是“搬家”、“遷移”，為不及物動(dòng)詞。在表達(dá)“搬家”這個(gè)意思時(shí)move可以單獨(dú)使用，也可以組成短語move to, move into, move in, move out等：

Jack has moved out. John will move in the day after tomorrow.

杰克已經(jīng)搬走了。約翰后天搬進(jìn)來。

2．He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. （他問）我要一頓飯和一杯啤酒。

在表示請求時(shí)，可以用ask＋sb. ＋for＋sth.,也可以直接用ask for:

別總向他人求助。

He never asks his parents for money.

他從來不向父母要錢。

3．in return for this, 作為報(bào)答，作為交換。

in return可以單獨(dú)使用，也可以加介詞for說明原因：

You lent me this interesting book last month. In return (for it), I'll show you some picture books.

你上個(gè)月把這本有趣的書借給了我。作為報(bào)答，我將給你看一些畫冊。

In return for your help, I invite you to spend the weekend with my family.

你幫了我的忙。作為回報(bào)，我邀請你與我的家人一起過這個(gè)周末。

4．Later a neighbour told me about him. 后來，一位鄰居告訴了我他的情況。

介詞about可以和一些動(dòng)詞連用，以表示“關(guān)于……（的）”、“涉及……（的）”：

Please tell me about the accident.

請告訴我這次事故的一些情況。

He spoke to me about his dog.

他和我講了講他的狗。

I have read about him.

關(guān)于他的情況我曾經(jīng)讀到過。

once表示頻率時(shí)后面直接加表示時(shí)間的名詞：

他每年回一次南方。
