第十九单元  一件让我想起中国的纪念品

导    读

一个九十岁的老太太到商店来买结婚周年纪念礼物，可是她身上却没带钱！What would she do? 让我们继续购物的话题，主要学习有关包装、付款的表达；基数词除了表示数量还有许多用法， 比如你知道如何用英语做四则运算题吗？本课的语法将教给你。

译    文

对话一  要我给您包装一下吗？

马克到中国来旅游，三天后他就要回美国了。现在他来到一家纪念品商店想买一些有中国特色的纪念品带回去。

    售货员：您看这条丝巾怎么样？这是典型的中国纪念品。

             马克：我非常喜欢，回国后，看到它我一定会想起中国。我买一条。

    售货员：要我给您包装一下吗？

             马克：要。请用彩纸包吧。

    售货员：当然可以。您看这样包行吗？

            马克：太好了，谢谢。我可以用信用卡付款吗？

    售货员：可以，先生。美国特快卡，维萨卡和万事达卡都可以用。请到收款处付款。

    收款员：给你，请在这里签名。祝你愉快。

             马克：谢谢。

对话二  现金还是信用卡？

安德森太太要回英国了，她来为她的外孙们买些中国娃娃。

    售货员：夫人，这个娃娃怎么样？

    安德森太太：噢，真可爱，我很喜欢。

        售货员：孩子们也很喜欢这种娃娃。

    安德森太太：我想买两个同样的，请你分别包起来。

    售货员：好的，太太。我把它们分别装进两个盒子里，再用漂亮的纸把盒子包起来。

    安德森太太：太好了，非常感谢。

    售货员：不客气。您是付现金还是用信用卡？

    安德森太太：用现金。

    售货员：好的，请到12号银台交款，就在那边，左手。

                收银员：好啦，收你$55，两个娃娃是$53.40，这是找给你的$1.60零钱。谢谢，祝你愉快。

安德森太太：也祝你愉快。

短文  一位老年顾客

    她90岁了。她到商店来买一件结婚周年纪念品。显然她有好久没出来买东西了，因为她对物价十分惊讶。

    她想买一个漂亮的购物筐。售货员问“您喜欢这个篮子吗？”她说：“多少钱？”售货员告诉她$9，她说：“噢，天哪，瞧瞧现在的价格！”

    经过一番挑选，她勉强决定买一个玻璃碗，$8，很精美。她让售货员把碗包起来。售货员找了个蓝色的盒子把碗装进去，精致地包好，这位女顾客就去交款了。她说：“我身上没带钱，能用信用卡付款吗？如果你们只要现钱，我让我儿子星期一来交。”收银员告诉她可以用信用卡，没有必要让她儿子来。

    这件事让售货员小姐觉得挺好玩。这位老太太是她遇到的最有意思的顾客之一。

Main points of the text

Dialogue A

1. Now // he comes to the souvenir store // to buy something typically Chinese // to take back home.

    这句话看起来较长，但它并非主从复合句，而是个简单句。

1）句中最主要的部分是he comes to the store。souvenir作store的定语；

2）now是整句的时间状语；

3）to buy something typically Chinese和to take back home是两个不定式短语，分别作目的状语。

4）在第一个不定式短语中，buy 是动词；something typically Chinese是宾语。在宾语中，typically Chinese 作后置定语修饰something；typically 是副词，修饰形容词Chinese。

5）在第二个不定式短语中，take back 是短语动词；home是地点状语。

2. I like it very much.

这句话同学们常会错说成 I very like it. 要注意英语和汉语语序的区别，尽量减少母语的干扰。

3. It will certainly remind me of China // when I return to my country.

注意这个主从复合句中的时态：主句It will certainly remind me of China用的是将来时，按一般逻辑时间状语从句也应该用将来时（因为句中的主语Mark尚未回国），但实际不是这样，句中的时间状语从句用的是一般现在时。因为根据英语的语法规则，当时间状语从句表示将来时，在after, as soon as(一…就…), before, till(直到), until(直到)和 when等时间词语后面不用一般将来时而用一般现在时。我们习惯上称之为主宾从现结构。这种时态搭配方式还体现在含有以if引导的条件句的主从复合句中，这种语法现象在任何基础英语的考试中都是重要的考点。

eg. I shall be on holiday till the end of September when I return to London.

我将休假到九月底，之后返回伦敦。

4. Can you pack it in colored paper?

请注意介词in的用法。

color是AmE（美国英语）的拼法，BE（英国英语）拼成colour。美国英语和英国英语在表达、发音、拼写上都有所区别。请同学们注意。Please pay attention to the differences between them.

5. American Express, Visa and Master Card are all names of credit card.

这些都是信用卡的名称。These are all the names of credit cards.

6. — Have a nice day.

— Thanks, you too.

请同学们注意这些礼貌用语。再如：

— Have a nice weekend.   祝你周末愉快。

— You too.  也祝你愉快。

Dialogue B

1. How about this doll, ma’am?

Ma’am 是口语里对madam的缩略形式。

2. Would you please wrap them up separately?

由动词加副词或者介词构成的词组的宾语如果是代词就放在动词和副词或介词之间；若宾语是名词或名词性质的词组，放在中间和后面均可。但有的词组如wait for不能分开，宾语只能放在后面，请同学们留意。

eg. 关上这些灯 turn the lights off  turn off the lights  turn them off

挑出些你要的东西

pick something you want out  pick out something you want  pick them out

3. Are you going to pay in cash or by credit card?

请注意介词的用法和付款方式的表达。

4. two dolls come to $53.40… out of $55… Here is your change, $1.60.

请注意介词的用法和付款方式的表达。

change在这里是名词，“购物付款后找回的零钱”。

$53.40读成fifty three dollars forty (cents)。1 dollar = 100 cents(美分)

Passage

这篇短文讲的是一位九十岁的老太太购买结婚纪念礼物的故事，除对话之外通篇都使用了一般过去时。请同学们注意文中动词, 尤其是不规则动词的过去式，讲解完课文要点我要让你们总结。

1. Obviously she hadn’t gone out shopping for a long, long time,…

显然她有好久没出来买东西了.

这个时态同学们看了是不是似曾相识又感觉陌生？这是过去完成时，由had + v.(p.p.过去分词) 构成，如果一句话里有两个动作都发生在过去，先发生的就用过去完成时，所谓“过去的过去”。这个时态暂时不要求同学们掌握，知道就可以了。

2. Now look at the third sentence of the second paragraph.

She sayed, “How much is it?” say的过去式应该是said，如果你用的是98年7月第一版的教材，你会发现这个词印错了，请更正。另外，中文欲引用原话用冒号，英文用逗号。

3. I don’t carry my money with me.

随身带着…还可以说：take (带去) / bring (带着，带来) sth. with sb.

4. The old woman was one of the most interesting customers the salesgirl had ever met.

one of 后面的名词必须用复数。

had met是过去完成时。这个故事讲的是过去的事，“售货员曾经见过”又在此前，属于“过去的过去”， 故用此时态。

the most interesting是interesting的最高级。

5. 请总结以下短文中的动词的过去式和过去分词：

is , come, have, tell, say, find, can, make, meet
