1.除了we,I使用shall外,其他一律使用will.但事實上第一人稱也常用will.
例:I will give you a definite answer tomorrow.
我明天將給你一個明確的答復
"Who will be on duty between nine o'clock a.m. and eleven o'clock p.m.?"
"I will."Harry said.
2.在主語為第一人稱的疑問句中,通常用shall.
Shall I go with you?(要我陪你一起去嗎?)
3.現代英語的趨勢,似乎不是明確地肯定或否定究竟shall,will 用在什么人稱,
為了簡便起見,都用you'll,I'll,she'll,they'll,we'll等簡略形式。

參考譯文---時刻要求自己:看到中文說出英文,看到英文說出中文!

我的收獲:
1.early in the morning一清早
2.the Atlantic 大西洋也可以說the Atlantic ocean,必須用冠詞。如:the Pacific Ocean(太平洋),the Indian Ocean(印度洋),Ocean可以省略,但印度洋不可省略,否則the Indian變成印度人或印第安人。
3.set out出發
4.and then然后
5.say good bye to sb.向某人道別
6.be proud of...為...而自豪
7.take part in 參加(作為參加者一員)
