ACT 1-1  “她是个讨人喜欢的孩子。”

【故事梗概】

Susan和 Harry再看Michelle试穿他们给她新买的衣服。Susan表达了她对他们的新婚生活的满意。但是Harry似乎有心事。

Michelle: I really like this one. Susan. Do you?

Susan: Turn around, Michelle. Let me see the back of it. [Michelle turns around.] I like it a lot. It fits well. It doesn't need any alterations. We must've bought the right size.

Harry: like the color. She looks good in blue.

Michelle: I like blue, too, Daddy.

Susan: Try on the skirt and blouse outfit, Michelle, the one that Daddy wanted you to wear.

Michelle: OK. [She leaves the room.]

Harry: Michelle has been a different kid since we've been married. She's never been happier.

Susan: And I've never been happier. Harry. [She kisses him.] I love her very much. She's been a joy.

Harry: We're very lucky, the three of us…and becoming part of the Stewart family, too.

Susan: We couldn't ask for anything more, could we?

Harry: Well…

Susan: Well? Could we ask for anything more?


【语言点精讲】

1. I like it a lot. It fits well.

我很喜欢它,它很合身。

I like it a lot.: 这里a lot是状语,修饰谓语like,要放在它后面。

fit: 合适,合身。

2. It doesn't need any alterations. We must've bought the right size.

不需要任何改动,我们显然买对了尺码了。

alteration: 修改。这里指的是改动衣服的尺寸使其合身。

must've bought the right size: 显然买对了尺码。用“must have(or must've)+ 过去分词”是对过去发生的事情作出的肯定的推论。

3. She looks good in blue. 

她穿蓝色很好看。

in: 表示穿着什么衣服

4. Try on the skirt and blouse outfit, Michelle, the one that Daddy wanted you to wear.

你试一下那套裙子和衬衫套服,Michelle,就是爸爸要你穿的那一套。

blouse: 女式衬衫。

outfit: 基本的含义是一套的东西。这里指套服。

5. Michelle has been a different kid since we've been married. She's never been happier.

从我们结婚以来,Michelle似乎变了一个人,她从未像现在这样快乐过。

She's never been happier. : never这个表示否定的词与比较级联用,实际上表达的是最高级的含义。这种组合所表达的强调的语气比较强烈。

5. She's been a joy. 

她是个讨人喜欢的孩子。

a joy: 这里指人。这是英语一个常用的修辞手法。注意joy在这里是可数名词,指一个人时要有不定冠词。又如,That boy is a headache.

6. We couldn't ask for anything more, could we?

我们不能要求更多的幸福了,是不是?



ACT 1-2  “再换回你的牛仔裤。”

【故事梗概】

在Harry打算把心事托出的时候,Michelle进来了。他们的注意力又转到了Michelle的新衣服上。

Harry: Well…we…

Michelle: [She enters the room in her new skirt and blouse.] How do you like it, Daddy?

Harry: It's my favorite outfit.

Susan: It's good for every day. It will be good for school, Michelle.

Michelle: I like it, too. I always like skirts that go like this. [She twirls around to show how the skirt moves.] Do you want to see the winter jacket on me, Susan?

Susan: Yes, I do. Change back into your jeans, and put on the new winter jacket we bought today.

Michelle: OK. [She leaves the room.]

Susan: What did you mean by “well…?” You had something on your mind when I said we couldn't ask for anything more.

Michelle: [She enters.] Is everything all right?

Harry: Everything is fine, Michelle.


【语言点精讲】

1. It's good for every day. It will be good for school.

它适合每天穿。上学穿它会很好。

be good: 适合于。

every day: 每天。在作为形容词时连写为everyday,意思为日常的。

2. I always like skirts that go like this. 

我一直喜欢这样飘动的裙子。

go: 在这里表示即将用实际行动表达的一种动作。如在哼一个曲调前可说The song goes like this. 又如,在教一个舞蹈动作时可以说The left foot goes like this.

3. She twirls around to show how the skirt moves.

她旋转身躯来显示裙子如何飘动。

twirl around: 快速转动。

4. Change back into your jeans, and put on the new winter jacket we bought today.

再换回你的牛仔裤,穿上我们今天买的冬季夹克。

change: 这里是换衣服。

jeans: 牛仔裤,又称 blue jeans, dungarees, denims, denim jeans。

winter jacket: 冬季夹克,棉衣。

5. You had something on your mind when I said we couldn't ask for anything more. 

当我说我们什么都有了时,你显然是有话要说。



ACT 1-3  “一家大的会计公司要我去工作。”

【故事梗概】

Harry对Susan讲出了他的心事:他得到了一个新的工作机会,但是这个工作是在洛杉矶。

Susan: Let's take a look at the winter jacket. Come on over here, honey.

Michelle: It's kind of warm.

Susan: It is. That's why we bought it for you. This will be a perfect jacket for the wintertime when it's very cold out. But it's kind of small also. We must've bought the wrong size.

Harry: Looks like we should've bought a bigger one. I guess we'll have to exchange it, too. I'm sure the store has others.

Michelle: I look silly! It is too small!

Susan: You're growing so fast, Michelle.

Michelle: Can I take it off? I'm hot!

Susan: Sure. Put it back in your room, and we'll hang everything up later.

[Michelle leaves the room.]

Susan: [to Harry] Well, are you going to tell me what's on your mind, Harry?

Harry: I have been offered a job with a major accounting company in Los Angeles. [repeating] I have been offered a job with a major accounting company in Los Angeles.

Susan: Los Angeles? That's a big decision.

Harry: I know. It will also affect you and your job, if we decide to go.

Susan: Wow! It sure will. But first tell me about the job, Harry. If it's a good one, then we'll make it work for us.


【语言点精讲】

1. It's kind of warm.

它很暖和。

kind of: 是状语,相当于sort of, a bit, somewhat. 口语中常读作kinda.

2. Looks like we should've bought a bigger one. I guess we'll have to exchange it, too. I'm sure the store has others.

看来我们本该买一件大一点儿的。我想这一件我们也得去换掉,我敢说店里还有别的。We should've bought…: 我们本该买……。用 “should have +过去分词” 表示遗憾,即对于本该做但是没有做成某事而感到惋惜。

exchange: 这里指换掉已购买的商品。

3. We'll hang everything up later. 

过一会儿我们来把它们都挂起来。

4. Are you going to tell me what's on your mind?

你要不要把你心上的事跟我说一下?

这里going to表示个人的意图,what在从句中是主语。当疑问词是句子主语时,问句的动词谓语保留在陈述句中的形式和语序,即不必倒装,亦不用另加助动词的办法。这样的问句成为名词从句时,语序也不产生变化的问题。

5. I have been offered a job with a major accounting company in Los Angeles. 

洛杉矶一家大会计公司向我提供一个职位。

6. If it's a good one, then we'll make it work for us. 

如果这工作不错,那么我们就考虑接受下来。



ACT 1-4  “明天才正式谈。”

【故事梗概】

Harry告诉Susan,如果他接受了这个工作,全家可能就要搬到洛杉矶去。而这将影响Susan的事业。

Harry: I have a client in the garment business on Seventh Avenue. I do his taxes every year. He has a big sales office in Los Angeles and the company in Los Angeles that does his major accounting work is looking for an executive. And he recommended me.

Susan: That's wonderful, Harry.

Harry: Yes, but it would mean that we'd have to move to L.A.

Susan: What about the salary?

Harry: The real discussion comes tomorrow. Susan, I don't plan to make any decisions until I have a chance to talk with you about it.

Susan: I understand, Harry.

Harry: And I don't have to make a quick decision. They know that I'm married and that I have a family.

Susan: Well, there's a lot to think about. If it's a good job, then I've got to do some thinking about my career opportunities in Los Angeles.

Michelle: [She enters again.] Is everything OK?

Susan: Yes, honey.


【语言点精讲】

我有个经营成衣业的客户,在第7街,我每年为他处理申报税款工作。

client: 委托人,客户。

3. Yes, but it would mean that we'd have to move to L.A.

是的,可那意味着我们得搬家到洛杉矶去。
