3、(3)cream of corn soup 玉米濃湯玉米濃湯cream為奶油或濃稠之意。corn為玉米，所以pop(爆開)corn為爆米花。2.Eating Out(4)pork chops 豬排豬排西餐的主菜除了海鮮類之外，最常見的肉類有beef(牛肉)、steak(牛排)、pork chops(豬排)和lamp chops(羊排)等。chop當動詞有切、砍、剁之意，名詞則是指(豬、羊的)肋骨肉或排骨。(5)Will that be all?就這些嗎？就這些嗎？通常是顧客點完菜後，服務生想再次確認顧客是否都把菜點齊了，或還要加點其他的食物所用的語句。一般客人大多會回答Thats all.Th

6、T)、飛機(airplane)、船(boat)等。上車則用get in(汽車)/get on(其他交通工具)。(3)walk out of 走出走出這個片語的語意為從走出來。一般使用的情境如從醫院(hospital)、郵局(post office)、購物中心(shopping mall)等走出來，如walk out of the hospital/post office/shopping mall。3.Asking for Directions(4)on your right 在你的右手邊在你的右手邊原來完整的用法是on your right side。同樣的，在你的左手邊即是 on your
7、 left(side)。(5)You cant miss it.你不會錯過的。你不會錯過的。在會話中因為珍妮佛向美麗問路，而美麗告訴她一定會找得到的，所以用這句話來表達當我們要跟別人說，某處很容易找到，就可以用這句話來表達。3.Asking for DirectionsPoliceman :Can I see your drivers license please(1)?John :What have I done?Policeman :You cant make a right turn(2)there.Didnt you see that sign?John:Im sorry.I didn

13、子)等，而a lot of則可以接可數或不可數名詞，如a lot of water(許多水)，a lot of people(許多人)等。(3)Women can never have too many clothes or shoes.女人的衣服和鞋子女人的衣服和鞋子永遠不嫌多。永遠不嫌多。這句話會在女性之間的對談聽到，尤其是談到購物的話題時，有些女人認為衣服和鞋子等物，永遠沒有足夠的一天。can never have too many 的句型為某樣東西永遠不嫌多之意，如 You can never have too many holidays.(假期永遠不嫌多)另一種說法為There ar

16、以便利退換貨的處理流程。句中的receipt(收據)，其中字母 p 不發音。句中的with you翻成帶來之意。(3)In that case 這樣的話這樣的話In that case原來的解釋為在這樣的情況下，在此可以解釋為這樣的話，通常這句話會放在句首，之後會伴隨更進一步的說明或解釋。(4)We can only let you exchange it for other things.我們只能讓你換別的我們只能讓你換別的東西。東西。這句話出現的場景為顧客想要退貨，但是店家不能把錢退還給顧客，所以只能讓顧客換購商店裡的其他東西，並多退少補。5.Seeing a DoctorReceptio

21、複數的不規則表達方式。牙齒的單數為tooth 複數為teeth。此外，你還可以用I have a toothache.來表達我牙齒痛。(2)brush your teeth 刷牙刷牙brush 這個動詞叫做刷，所以刷牙叫做brush ones teeth，牙刷叫做 toothbrush，另外梳頭髮叫做 brush your hair，而梳子叫做 hairbrush。刷牙的時候，因為我們不會只刷一顆牙齒，所以用牙齒的複數teeth來表達。(3)every day and night 每日早晚每日早晚我們可以用every day and night這個慣用語來表達每天白天和晚上都會做的例行公事，如

24、費或有空之意，在此解釋為有空。(2)Sure,Id love to come.我當然很願意參加。我當然很願意參加。通常這句話用在對於活動邀約表示有興趣或有意願參加。Sure在此處可以用of course來代換，Id love to come.在這此為 Id love to come to your birthday party 的簡寫版。6.Invitations for ActivitiesZe-Ming:Hi,I-Hwa.Are you interested in going to see a movie(1)with me this Saturday?I-Hwa:Sure,what mo
