Grammar Points 语法提要:

1.When也是疑问词的一种,它构成的特殊疑问句由“疑问词When+一般疑问句”构成。

2.注意resume“恢复”,发音时,重音在前面;resume作名词为“个人简历”发音时,重音在后面的(mei)。这两个词拼法是一样的,读音不同。

Practice 练习

Oral Translation 口头汉译英:

我的一位朋友告诉我,今天早上大会堂(the Grand Hall)将举行一个有关如何正确减肥的报告。报告人(the speaker,the reporter)是一位有名的(famous)医生。当我们赶到(to rush to)大会堂时,大会堂已挤满(to be crowded with)了人,很难(it's very hard to)找到一个座位。等到(to wait until)9:30分,我们才知道报告延迟了(to be delayed),因为报告人遇到了(to come across)一场车祸,他无法准时(on time)赶到(to reach)大会堂。我们只能等待,一直到交通恢复正常(to resume normal)。

我每天早上七点起床。洗完脸,刷完牙(to brush the teeth),我就吃早餐。早餐后我就搭地铁上班。虽然我也可以搭公共汽车上班,车费(fare)也便宜。但是在交通繁忙时间(during rush hours),路上经常塞车(jam)。如果碰到一场车祸,就倒霉了(to have a bad luck)。搭公共汽车,你很难准时赶到办公室。搭地铁就没有这样的麻烦(nothing trouble happened),可以及时赶到办公室,开始一天的工作。
