起床太晚
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'
'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.
'What are you doing?' she asked.
'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.
'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
1 get up [短語(yǔ)] (使)起床
get up 還有①起身、站起(相當(dāng)于stand up);②(海浪、風(fēng)等)增強(qiáng)、變猛烈的意思。
例句:Everyone get up when the manager came in.
當(dāng)經(jīng)理走進(jìn)來(lái)時(shí)每個(gè)人都站立起來(lái)了。
2 sometimes 有時(shí)候
sometime,sometimes,some time,some times用法區(qū)別
sometime
(1)副詞:某個(gè)時(shí)候?芍高^(guò)去或?qū)?lái)的某個(gè)時(shí)候。
(2)形容詞:(指某人曾經(jīng)是……)從前的,過(guò)去的,意思類(lèi)似former,偶爾的。
例句:We’ll take our holiday sometime in August.
我們會(huì)在八月找個(gè)時(shí)間度假。(將來(lái))
This is our sometime general manager.
這是我們的前任總經(jīng)理。(過(guò)去)
sometimes 副詞:有時(shí)候。另外,at times也是“有時(shí)”的意思。
例句:Sometimes, I recall the campus life.
有時(shí)候,我會(huì)回想起大學(xué)生活。
some time 某段時(shí)間。常與for連用。
例句:I will stay here for some time.
我將在這兒待一段時(shí)間。
some times 幾次。several times也可以表示“幾次”,但比some times較確定。time作可數(shù)名詞時(shí)可作“次數(shù)”解;表示“時(shí)間”時(shí)是不可數(shù)名詞。
例句:He has been to America some times.
他去過(guò)幾次美國(guó)。
3 outside adv. 在外面;向外面,也可表示在戶(hù)外。
例句:I am cleaning the house, please wait outside for several minutes.
我正在打掃屋子,請(qǐng)?jiān)谕獾葞追昼姟?/p>
4 on sundays,指每個(gè)星期日。星期幾的前面要用介詞on。
例句:I usually go hiking on Friday.
我通常在星期五去遠(yuǎn)足。
5 What a day!
多么糟糕的天氣!這是一個(gè)省略的感嘆句。完整的句子應(yīng)該是What a day it is!英語(yǔ)中的感嘆句常用what開(kāi)頭,后面緊跟一個(gè)名詞或名詞性短語(yǔ)(包括連系動(dòng)詞),然后是主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ),句尾用感嘆號(hào),即其基本形式是:What+(a)名詞+主謂結(jié)構(gòu)。使用what感嘆句時(shí)要注意:如果what后面是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),則一定要加不定冠詞。what后面的名詞詞組不能加定冠詞。
例句:What a happy day we had yesterday!
昨天真是開(kāi)心的一天!
What bad news it was!
真是個(gè)壞消息!
6 I'm coming to see you.
在這句話(huà)中,是用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)表示近期計(jì)劃或安排將要進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作。
具有這種語(yǔ)法功能的詞僅限于過(guò)渡性動(dòng)詞,比如:come, go, leave, start, arrive, return等。
例句:My aunt is coming tonight.
我姨媽今晚要來(lái)。
【上期作業(yè)回顧】
