文本:

A:Your tree looks beautiful. Do you decorate it this way every year?

你们的树看起来好漂亮。你们每年都这么布置吗?

B:Yes, it’s a family tradition dating back to my childhood. We use the same lights and ornaments, but of course we have a new tree each year. The children made some of these decorations. Here, you can hang this on one of those high branches.

是的。记得从我孩提时候开始这就是家里的传统了。我们用一样的灯泡和装饰品;当然,我们每年都用一棵新树。这些装饰中有一部分是孩子们弄的。给,你可以把这个吊在一根高枝上。

讲解:

1. family tradition家庭传统通常指一个家庭在每年重要时刻都要进行的家庭仪式。family tree则是家谱,另外family planning则是计划生育了。

2. 参加过我正式美语课程同学应该知道just about中有两个地方不发音,just的t不发音,about的t也不发音。美语中通常变成just about。另外关于t的发音,它在美语中有许多的变化。

3. 四点钟叫four o’clock 也可以简化为four。o’clock通常强调的是整点。

4. 包装纸叫the wrapping paper,另外 If you keep something under wraps, you keep it secret, often until you are ready to announce it at some time in the future. 这句话的意思可以总结为under wrap就是保密的意思。
