BOOK ONE · LESSON 101

A card from Jimmy

吉米的明信片

A dialogue lesson on reported speech. Grandmother asks Penny to read Jimmy's card to her. Penny reads the card (direct speech) and then reports it in indirect speech ('He says he's just arrived in Scotland. He says he's staying at a Youth Hostel.'). Grandmother asks what else Jimmy says, and Penny reports that he'll write a letter soon and hopes they are all well. Grandmother, who can't hear very well, asks Penny to speak up. New vocabulary includes Scotland, card, youth, hostel, association, soon, and write. Workbook practice covers comprehension questions on the dialogue and choosing the best word to fill in the blanks. Grammar exercises practise making sentences according to the example (reported speech with 'that') and rewriting sentences using a noun clause according to the example.

Notes on the text 课文注释

'I have just arrived in Scotland ... a Youth Hostel.'

这是一个直接引语的例子。直接引语是英文中用书面语的形式来表示口语的方式，实际讲的话要放在引号之间，句尾的标点符号也要放在引号之内。

the Y.H.A. = the Youth Hostels Association

青年招待所协会，简称 Y.H.A.。Youth Hostel 是一种为参加野外探险度假活动的青年人提供廉价住宿的招待所。这种青年招待所实行会员制，首先要加入 Y.H.A. 才有资格享受这种待遇。

speak up

speak up, 大声地说。

Love, Jimmy.

Love, Jimmy. 爱你们的吉米。Yours, Jimmy（你的，吉米）。这是亲人朋友间通信时常用的结束语。

He doesn't say very much, does he?

这是英文中的反意疑问句，它是由两部分组成的，前面是一个陈述句，逗号之后是一个简略问句。反意疑问句可以用来确认自己的判断，获取真实的信息，还可以用来表示惊讶、愤怒等感情。如果前一部分陈述句是肯定形式，简略问句就要用否定形式；如果前一部分是否定形式，后一部分则用肯定形式。
