第二、口語學習
1. 語意表述:某人應該向某人道歉。
套用句型:Sb owes someone an apologize.
指點迷津:這句話非常巧妙地用owe(虧欠)來表示出“應該”之意。Owe sb an apologize是“虧欠某人一個道歉”,意即:要向某人道歉。
句
句型出處:Natalie, I believe I owe you an apology.
2. 語意表示:某人想要某物。
套用句型:I would like something.
句型操練:I would like a cup of coffee.
我要一杯咖啡。
句型出處:I'd like that.
3. 語意表述:留給兩個人單處一會兒。
套用句型:Sb lets two people to have a minute.

3. 語意表述:某人接電話。
套用句型:Sb gets the call.
指點迷津:該句型用get這個動詞表示“answer”或者是“pick up”的意思,即“接”的意思。
句型出處:I should get this.
4. 語意表述:對做某事的方式感到慚愧。
套用句型:Sb is sorry about the way in which+從句。

5. 語意表述:某人看見某人做某事。
套用句型:Sb watch someone do something.
指點迷津:這個句型表述此意的關鍵是運用了watch這個感官動詞的特殊結構來表述。Watch后面跟賓語somebody,再用動詞原形做賓語補足語。
句型操練:I watched Mary kissed John in the tree.
我看見瑪麗和約翰在樹下接吻。
