Notes on the text 课文注释

Do you want to speak to her?

在这句话中，to speak是动词want的宾语，而这个结构——动词原形前加to——在英文中被称为动词不定式。本课用动词不定式作宾语的例句还有：I want her to come to my office; Tell her to come at once; Did you want to see me; I want you to type it again等。

full of ...

full of ...，充满了……。

And here's ...

这里and表示承上启下，使上下文紧密联系，当'于是'、'因此'讲。
