Paris in the spring

巴黎之春

A dialogue lesson on the present perfect tense (have/has been to). George and Ken meet outside a cinema; Ken has just been to the cinema to see 'Paris in the Spring', a film George has already seen on television. Ken says Paris is a beautiful city, but the weather was awful — it rained all the time, just like London. Workbook practice covers comprehension questions and a fill-in exercise with to/to the, on/on the, and in phrases. Grammar exercises practise do/did/done, giving replies to telephone calls, and completing present-perfect dialogues.

Notes on the text 课文注释

have been to ...，到过……。“到过那里”则说 have been there。注意，在这里我们讲 to the cinema，同时也说 to the park，但在第55课中，我们有 to work, to school 的短语。在名词 school, work, church 之前不加定冠词 the。

What's on? 上演什么电影？

eh /eɪ/，感叹词，在此表示疑问。读升调。

all the time，一直，始终。

Just like London!
这是省略句，完整的句子为 Paris was just like London。其中的 just 有“正好”、“恰恰是”的意思。
而在第3行的 Have you just been to ... 中 just 是指时间，有“刚才”的意思。
