Language Points 語(yǔ)言要點(diǎn)?

1. Excuse me. 對(duì)不起。這是一句用以引起別人注意的話，以提醒對(duì)方有事相求。2. 動(dòng)詞 go 的用法：go 是一個(gè)不及物動(dòng)詞，不能直接加賓語(yǔ)。要與介詞連用。
常用的介詞是 to。例如：
go to school 去上學(xué)
go to the coffee shop 去咖啡館
go 的后面可直接加副詞。例如：
go upstairs 上樓
go downstairs 下樓
go straight ahead 一直往前走

Cultural Notes 文化注釋?

常說(shuō)的一句道歉的話是 Excuse me. 即對(duì)不起。比如當(dāng)你要從別人面前走過(guò)的時(shí)候，你要說(shuō)聲 Excuse me. 當(dāng)你就餐中要離席而去時(shí)，你要說(shuō)聲 Excuse me. 但是，過(guò)多的道歉則是美國(guó)人難以接受的。在美國(guó)，一個(gè)外國(guó)人更不必為自己講不好英語(yǔ)而向別人道歉。?
