点精讲】 1.I'd better unpack.I'd better do sth.我最好做某事 unpack: 打开(行李等),是反义前缀 un 加上动词 pack 构成的。2.Pleasant dreams.做个好梦,在别人准备就寝前的道别语。亦说 “Sweet dreams.” 3.I have the key, but it doesn't work.钥匙在我这儿,但它打不开。work 的意思是“起作用,行得通,有效”,是不及物动词,不带宾语。4.It's our family tree.family tree: 家谱,家族的历史。美国人现在流行写“家谱”,甚至有专门的公司帮助寻找家谱。5.Fabulous!太好了。这是口语用法。美语中说某物很好,有不少夸张性的说法,wonderful,如: marvelous,fantastic,terrific 以及这里出现的 fabulous 等。其中除了 wonderful 外,都不宜用于正式 场合,因为不免有些孩子气。另外,注意 terrible 是很糟糕的意思,请不要与 terrific 混淆。6.Why, I didn't know that your grandfather was born in Germany.Why: 你看。这里的 why 不是疑问词,而是用在句首表示惊讶的情绪。7.Like I always said, you look just like Grandma.我一直这么说,你长得像奶奶。Like I always said: 就像我一直说的那样。这是一种比较口语的说法,在书面的 较正式的语言中,通常不用 like 而用连词 as。
