Notes on the text课文注释
1 have been to... 到过...。“到过那里”则说have been there。注意,在这里我们讲to the cinema,同时也说to the park,但在第55课中,我们有to work, to school的短语。在名词school, work, church之前不加定冠词the。
2 What's on? 上演什么电影?
3 eh,感叹词,在此表示疑间。读升调。
4 all the tune,一直始终。
5 Just like London!
这是省略句。完整的句子为Paris was just like London。其中的just有“正好”“恰恰是”的意思。而在第3行的Have you just been to…中just是指时间,有’‘刚才’的意思。
