  Language Points 语言要点

  1. Excuse me. 对不起。这是一句用以引起别人注意的话,以提醒对方有事相求。2. 动词 go 的用法:go 是一个不及物动词,不能直接加宾语。要与介词连用。

  常用的介词是 to.例如:

  go to school 去上学

  go to the coffee shop 去咖啡馆

  go 的后面可直接加副词。例如:

  go upstairs 上楼

  go downstairs 下楼

  go straight ahead 一直往前走

  Cultural Notes 文化注释

  常说的一句道歉的话是 Excuse me. 即对不起。比如当你要从别人面前走过的时候,你要说声 Excuse me. 当你就餐中要离席而去时,你要说声 Excuse me. 但是,过多的道歉则是美国人难以接受的。在美国,一个外国人更不必为自己讲不好英语而向别人道歉。
