洋话连篇之蜗牛版 想开口，先模仿 Learn by imitating! 今天终于把第一本洋话连篇蜗牛篇完成了。以后还有鹦鹉，老虎，狐狸篇，等着吧！ 近来买的书，觉得不错，便把它穿插在上课之前讲给小朋友。很实用的哦！ 发现小笨霖笔记上有很多可以借鉴的内容就把它也加了进来，以免大家要找来找去的。 1 清晨呓语Things you say in the morning. Teacher: What s wrong with you? William: I m not myself today. “ I m not myself”这句话是什么意思呢？我都不是我自己了？那么我是什么呢？看来这句话不能光从字面上来理解。 那么它是什么意思呢 让我们来打个比方吧：你昨天晚上失眠了，第二天上课，无论老师问你什么你都不知道，那 么老师会很生气地问你:” What s wrong with you?” 那么最好地借口就是：”I am not myself today”“我今天状态不佳” “ I am not myself”句子看起来很简单，但要掌握其真正的意思，还需要更多的和朋友在设想的情景下练一练。 Hogan: William! We gotta go! It s burning down! （烧的精光了）指没有时间剩余。 William: Don t bother me! 有人喜欢在早晨睡懒觉，这时如果家人叫你起床，你还可以可怜巴巴的说：“ Please give me five more minutes.”请 让我在多睡五分钟好吗 这是一种很有礼貌的说法，当然了，如果你很生气别人打 了你的美梦，你就很有可能恶 狠狠地说：”Don t bother me!””别烦我了”，这有点像北京话：“ 别理我，烦着呢!” “ bother”是”打 比人，给别人添麻 烦的意思， 寻求别人的帮助，你可以这样说：” Sorry to bother you, but can you help me with this?”打 一下， 能麻烦您帮我个忙吗 （Sleeping on a bed of nails）a bed of nails 是指钉子床，来自印度的魔术师或者瑜珈师的一种表演刀具，如果在这 种床睡一晚的话，你的睡眠肯定是terrible 了。 Hogan: How did you sleep? William: Not good at all. 早晨起来，看到你的朋友气色不太好，你可以这样问候他：“ How did you sleep?”你昨晚睡的怎么样啊 如果对方确 实是因为没睡好，导致脸色看起来很差的话，就会说：“Terrible”糟透了！或者说：”I didn t sleep well last night”， 我昨晚没睡好！睡眠不足的原因有很多，有可能是由于工作，学习上的压力太大导致失眠，“ 失眠“ 在英文理叫做 “ insomnia”，也有可能你白天睡的太多，导致晚上无法入睡，那么别人会指责你：”You overslept”或者说”You slept too long today.”你今天睡觉睡的太多了。 Culture note: 文化背景 In this episode we are talking about things you say in the morning. What kind of person are you? Are you a morning person or are you not a morning person. For example, my father is a morning person. He loves to get up in the morning, with lots of energy and he says, “Good morning, world!” My mother, on the other hand, is not a morning person. In the morning, she always says, “don t bother me! Give me f ive more minutes.” So you really don t want to talk to her then. But many people, before they can wake up completely, they like to have a big cup of coffee. Then, and only then, s
