Small change 零钱

零钱

A man on a bus has only a ten-pound note and no small change. The bus conductor cannot change it and asks other passengers, but none can help. The man must get off the bus, but two tramps offer to change the note. The lesson covers 'none', 'neither', 'get off', and short agreement/disagreement forms (So can I / Neither can I).

Notes on the text 课文注释

1. Fares, please! 请买票！

这是公共车辆售票员用语。

2. Trafalgar Square

特拉法加广场，位于伦敦市区。

3. I've got no small change

我没有一点儿零钱。no + 名词表示所指的东西全然没有，以上这句话比 'I haven't got any small change' 更强调没有任何一点儿零钱。

4. I've got none

5. Neither can I

当有人说了一句否定意义的话，其否定的内容也适于你或另外的人或事物时，可以采用这种简略的句式。注意这种简略句式中主语和动词（包括 be）的顺序。

6. get off the bus

下车。

7. So have I

当有人说了一句肯定意义的话，其肯定的内容也适于你或另外的人或事物时，可以采用这种简略的句式。注意这种简略句式中主语和动词（包括 be）的顺序。
