  Why is the new house special?
  I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria.

   We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left.
  我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了

  The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us.
  是在5个月以前竣工的。我在信中告诉她,她可以和我们住在一起

  The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden.
  这栋房子里有许多房间,还有一个漂亮的花园

  It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.
  它是一栋非 常现代化的住宅,因此在有些人看来很古怪。它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。

  Notes on the text课文注释
  1 get a surprisc中的,surprise这里作“使人惊奇、意外的事物”解,是可数名词。
  2 Work on it had begun...,住宅的建设在……就开始了。work是名词,作主语,it指房屋。
  3 The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden.这栋房子里有许多房间,还有一个漂亮的花园。
there is这个结构在第1册第42-44课中曾经出现过,用来说明人、物的存在。

Lesson 23 自学导读First things first

  课文详注 Further notes on the text
  1.I had a letter from my sister yesterday. 昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信。
  have在这里相当于 receive。(cf. 第18课语法)

  2.She lives in Nigeria… We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. 她住在尼日利亚……我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。
  (1)live指长期居住,一般不用进行时。第二个例句中的进行时是为了强调目前的居住情况。
  (2)country指“乡下”(与town相对)时,一般与the连用,而不与my等所有格形容词连用,指“祖国”时则可以:
  I enjoy living in the country.
  我喜欢住在乡下。
  My country is China.
  我的祖国是中国。

  3.If she comes, she will get a surprise.如果她来了,她会感到非常惊奇的。
  surprise 在这里是可数名词,指“令人惊奇的事”、“意想不到的事”:
  It's a surprise to me that they can't sell their flat.
  他们无法卖掉他们的公寓,这对我来说是件意想不到的事。
  surprise 也可以作不可数名词,表示“惊讶”:
  She looked at the man in surprise.
  她惊讶地看着那人。

  4.Work on it had begun before my sister left. 这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了。
  work(工作,作业)在这里是抽象的不可数名词,因此它前面不需要加冠词。我们还可以说:
  Life is short.
  生命是短暂的。(life也是抽象的不可数名词)

  5.…I told her that she could stay with us.……告诉她说,她可以和我们住在一起。
  stay 在这里是不及物动词,表示“暂住”、“逗留”。stay with是一固定搭配,表示“跟……暂住在一起”:
  He stayed with his uncle last week.
  上周他住在他叔叔那儿了。

  6.It must be the only modern house in the district. 它肯定是这个地区惟一的一栋现代化住宅。
  (1)modern 可以指“现代的”(相对于古代等时期而言),也可以指“现代化的”、“时髦的”、“新式的”:
  This car/dress looks quite modern.
  这辆车/这件衣服看上去很时髦。
  Cars appeared only in the modern period.
  汽车是现代才出现的。
  (2) district一般译为“地区”、“行政区”或“地域”、“地带”,通常隶属于某个整体或具有某些地理特征:
  This district of London is very quiet.
  伦敦的这个地区很冷清。
  The Lake District of Northern England is very beautiful.
  英国北部的湖区非常美丽。

  语法 Grammar in use
  1.复习第12~21课部分语法
  在第12~21课的语法中,我们学习了一般将来时、将来进行时、过去完成时、间接引语、条件句、情态动词、完全动词have、动名词等内容。
  I had a letter from him last month. He told me he had returned home.
  我上个月收到他的一封信。他告诉我他已经回家了。(完全动词have在这里相当于 receive;过去完成时表示在过去某个时间前完成的动作)
  He left the room without taking his umbrella.
  他没有拿上自己的伞就离开了房间。(动名词作介词宾语;动名词有自己的宾语)

  2.there is和 it is的用法
  在说明或询问人或物等的存在时即可用 there be结构。这种结构可以用一般现在时,也可以用一般过去时、一般将来时及现在完成时等时态。在用there表示过存在之后,就必须用it或者人称代词作进一步说明:
  There's a bus coming, but it's full.
  有一辆公共汽车来了,不过车上坐满了人。
  There's a man at the door. It's the postman.
  门口有个人,那是邮递员。
  There were many people at the party last night.
  昨天晚上的晚会上有许多人。(一般过去时)
  There will be a letter for you tomorrow.
  你明天将会有一封信。(一般将来时)
  但是,当it作为“虚主语”表示时间、距离、天气等概念时,不可用there be结构(cf. 第2课课文详注):
  It's Monday.
  是星期一。
  It's raining.
  天在下雨。
  It's fifteen miles to the station.
  离车站有15英里。
