Useful Language
- * 在It's time后面可用（for someone） to do something表示已经该做什么事了。句中后面也可用that从句，it是先行主语，而实际的主语是从句或动词不定式。习惯上在that从句中用过去时或过去进行时，表示虽早该这样做而实际上还没有做，是“虚拟”的。如： It's time you were doing some real work. Isn't it time we got going? 这是和在wish后面的that从句中用虚拟语气理由相同的。 * earn money表示付出了劳动而挣取报酬，而 make money有时可表示不劳而获，如赌博赢钱等。We've earned it(the weekend together). 意谓我们辛苦了多日，应当得到这一报酬。见第12集第三幕：You just earned your weight in gold. “和你体重相等的金子”就说明祖父提出的建议非常有价值，而earn则表示这不是不劳而获的。 * See if they have a room. 在see后面常不用whether而用更口语化的if，表示“是否”。但在whether从句是在句首时，或是在be动词后面时，则不可代之以if。如： Whether you will come or not is for you to decide. The question is whether Susan will say “yes”. 在这两例中均不可用if。 * We'll figure out what to do today：除 why以外的疑问词+动词不定式，在句子中可以起从句的作用。如： I wondered where to go. She doesn't know what to say. I never learned how to swim. He didn't tell us when to come back. 但千万不能把这个结构单独当作完整的问句使用。 * 请注意下列短语动词：hang up，check out，give up，figure out，stick it out，clean up，check on something，等。 * 马克斯来到斯图尔特家，给全家人添加了幸福和欢欣。但是勿庸讳言，玛丽琳和理查德小两口的负担也加重了。在日子过得很累的时候，重度蜜月确是一个改变生活的固定轨迹的办法。夫妇间的相互谅解体贴和旁人的关怀友好，使这个主意获得了成功。
