Notes on the Text

1. Jenny：What are you doing? Laura：Not much. 珍妮：你在干什么呢？（你忙什么呢？）劳拉：没忙什么。
 Not much 是用做回答的交际套语，还可说成 Nothing much，相当于汉语 ”不忙什么；没什么事“，表示自己有空。

例如：

A：What are you doing this evening? 你今晚要做什么事？
B：Well, nothing much. 嗯，没什么事。

2. Do you want to join me for dinner? 你想跟我一起吃个饭吗？
 join somebody for something 表示 ”与某人一起做某事；参与或加入到某人的行列中一起做某事“。

例如：

Would you come and join us for a cup of coffiee? We need to talk to you. 你来跟我们喝杯咖啡好吗？我们有事要跟你谈。

3. I’d love to. 我很乐意。
 1）I’d love to 是 I would love to 的缩写形式。I’d love to 经常用于礼貌地接受他人邀请，还可说成 I’d like to, 但语气较前者稍弱。

例如：

A：Would you like to come with us to the show? 你愿意跟我们一起去看表演吗？
B：Thank. I’d like to. 多谢了，我可以的。

 2）当婉言拒绝他人邀请时，英语多用 I’d love to, but … 或 Sorry, I’m afraid I an;t because … 等。

例如：

A：I’m going to town. Would you like to join me? 我进城去，你想跟我一同去吗？
B：Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t because I still have lots of homework to do. 真抱歉，怕是不成了，我还有好多作业要做呢？

4. His dad and uncle are watching the boat races on TV. 他爸爸和叔叔正在看电视上的龙舟比赛。
 race 用于体育话题时，主要指赛跑、赛车、游泳等与速度相关的 ”比赛“；而 game 则多指球类、棋类等体育 ”比赛“。

例如：

Do you like to watch NBA games on TV? 你喜欢看电视上的美国 NBA 篮球赛吗？
He’s the youngest swimmer in the race. 他是比赛中最年轻的游泳选手。

5. … so it’s like any other night for Zhu Hui and his host family. 所以对朱辉和他的房东家人来说，今晚和平时的晚上是一样的。
 1）any other night 表示 ”任何（一个）其他的夜晚“。其中 any 表示 ”任何一个；任意一个。“

例如：

A：When can I come? 我什么时候能来？
B：Any day from today. 从今天开始任何一天都可以。

any other … 表示 ”任何别的 …；任何其他的 …“。

例如：

Don’t be so proud. Any other boy here can play this game. 别那么自负，这里任何一个男孩都会玩这个游戏。

 2）host family 指人们出国时所借宿的人家，类似汉语中 ”房东家“。

例如：

Do you want to learn to speak English well? Why not go to English and stay with a host family? 你想学说一口好的英语吗？为什么不去英国与房东一家人住在一起呢？

6. … but there’s still “no place like home”. 但是 ”千好万好还是不如自己的家好“。（金窝银窝不如自己的狗窝。）
 这是一个谚语，源自 1823年英国伦敦首演的一部音乐剧中一首名为《家，甜蜜的家》（Home, Sweet Home）的歌曲。后来这首歌很快走红，其中的歌词 … there’s no place like home 被人们广为使用，成为独立的谚语。
 英语中还有一句类似的谚语：East or west, home is best.
