大家好,歡迎持續(xù)關(guān)注可可英語的新欄目—I’m鬧挺。今天是本欄目的第二期節(jié)目,我們一起來看看一個好男孩兒的故事。
A Good Boy
好男孩
Little Robertaskedhis motherfortwo cents.
小羅伯特向媽媽要兩分錢。
"What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
“昨天給你的錢干什么了?”
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
“我給了一個可憐的老太婆,”他回答說。
"You're a good boy," said the motherproudly. "Here are two cents more. But whyareyou sointerested inthe old woman?"
“你真是個好孩子,”媽媽驕傲地說。“再給你兩分錢。可你為什么對那位老太太那么感興趣呢?”
"She is the one who sells the candy."
“她是個賣糖果的。”
知識點講解:
1.asked his mother for two cents.
ask for最基本的意思是請求,要,在這句話中就是取的這個意思。其實ask for還有其他意思,我們一起來分析一下。
1.request;ask to be given請求;向…要
eg:The workers are asking for an increase in pay.工人在請求增加工資。
2.demand;ask to see要求(見)
eg:Here's a gentleman asking for the manager.這里有位先生要求見經(jīng)理。
3.run the risk of sth.招惹;自找(麻煩)
eg:He is foolish to behave in that way;he is asking for trouble.他那樣做是愚蠢的,是自找麻煩。
2.proudly
proudly在這里是指媽媽的態(tài)度,為自己的兒子如此有愛心而感到驕傲。
副詞
1.得意揚揚地,夸耀地
She proudly displayed her collection of ornaments.
她得意揚揚地擺列出她的飾品集。
2.傲慢地,自負地
3.堂皇地,壯麗地
3.But why are you so interested in the old woman?
be interested in是指對...感興趣,可以理解為一個系表結(jié)構(gòu),有系動詞加形容詞構(gòu)成。
eg:I am interested in your products
