Notes

1. Gosh, the door is locked from inside. 天哪，门反锁了。gosh 为感叹词。此类词一般用于表达惊奇、喜悦或愤怒。“ Gosh!” 是

“ Oh my gosh!” 的简略式，而 Gosh 是 God 的委婉语。需注意的是，对于虔信基督教的人来说，不管是 Gosh 还是 God ，轻易出口都可能被视为冒犯行为。

e.g. Oh my Gosh! This room is a mess!

2. Can you hurry up? I need to use the toilet! 你能快点吗？我要用马桶啊！

hurry up 快点，赶紧做e.g. Hurry up if you want to get to school on time!

学林出版社

Likes of the flat:

I like a flat with two baths so that there can be no waiting for my father to

finish his use of the bath. I prefer large balconies to small ones, because we can

set a table there and sit down enjoying a cup of coffee after supper. I love the

sofa more than anything else. It should be comfortable when I throw myself

into the sofa watching my favorite TV programms. And the flat is in a good

place. It is in a busy street. I like seeing people coming and going.

Dislikes of the flat:

I don’t like a flat with two baths because it’s a waste of water and space.

Sitting on the balconies is the last thing I would do, because people at the street

make so loud noises. I would rather have a study than a balcony. I hate sitting

in the sofa watching TV hour after hour, wasting time. I find the dining room

boring, because the table is too close to the kitchen. Back Next

father and the boy had been away by themselves.

The first night they spent in a hotel, the father moved his bed close

light. After a few minutes, a little voice said, “It sure is dark, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” said the father, “It’s pretty dark, but everything is all right.”
