Useful Language
- * 在这一集中，日常生活交往的礼貌用语更丰富而多变化了。 * 明人不说暗话。哈里很早就直率地说 I have a daughter. I do (miss my wife).苏珊直接问他 Is there anyone else in your life? 并说 I date occasionally.还有些其它开诚布公的话。在苏珊和玛丽琳之间也是如此。这些都有益于增进友谊。 * 哈里真叫人同情。他走出去以后撞倒了雨伞架，令人忍俊不禁。大概是有点丢魂落魄了。I think we're going to be good friends. I'm going to excuse myself. 句中be going to do表示比较短时期内的未来可以推定会发生的事或预订要做的事。至于 She is sleeping here. 与 She is going to a fashion show. 中的现在进行时，表示的不是现在正在做的事，而是在最近的将来预定或按计划要作的事。 * 西方的亲属关系名词，常不分年长年幼，如：sister，brother，uncle，aunt 等，也不分是男方或女方的亲属。故值得列一个表看一下： sister 姐，妹 brother 兄，弟 uncle 伯，叔，舅 aunt 姑母，姨母，伯（叔）母，舅母 cousin 堂（表）兄弟，堂（表）姐妹，较远的亲戚 father-in-law 公公，岳父 mother-in-law 婆婆，岳母 brother-in-law 丈夫（或妻子）的兄弟等 sister-in-law 丈夫（或妻子）的姐妹等 son-in-law 女婿 daughter-in-law 儿媳妇 grandfather（grandpa） 父亲或母亲的父亲 grandmother（granny，grandma） 父亲或母亲的母亲 granduncle 父亲或母亲的叔叔或伯伯等 grandaunt 父亲或母亲的姑母等 great-grand father 父亲或母亲的祖父（余同此。） * 失偶而携子女，再求偕老伴不易。姑嫂之间，即不勃谿，亦常貌合神离。环顾世事，大抵如此。这一集所述，似并不落常规，令读者心慰。
