字词词组精解
1.blanket n. 毯子, 毛毯
例: Cover yourself with a blanket lest you should catch a cold.
(你要盖毯子以免着凉。)
2.available a. 出售的; 有空的; 多余的
＊使用这个字时, 不可把它放在名词的前面, 而应放在名词的后面, 举例如下:
例: Do you have this book available here?
名词 形容词
(你这里有没有卖这本书呢？)
诸位可千万别按字面翻译成像下面的例子:
Do you sell this book here? (　)
因为如此一来, 就变成『你有没有在这儿卖书啊？』, 言下之意好象是说,若你有在这儿卖书的话, 我就要来抽地头税了, 那岂不冤哉枉也？好了, 再举例如下, 以供各位活用此单字:
例: Do you have the February issue of Reader's Digest available here?
(你这儿有卖二月份的《读者文摘》吗？)
Mr. Lee is available now.
(李先生现在有空。)
I will be available tomorrow.
=I will be free tomorrow.
=I will have time off tomorrow.
(我明天有空。)
I have two rooms available.
名词 形容词
(我有两间空余的房子。)
3.Would you, please?　　那就麻烦你了。
＊本句乃是一省略句, 它在you的后面省掉了bring one这两字, 因此, 其原句型应是"Would you bring one, please?"意即『麻烦你拿给我一条毯子, 好吗？』
4.at the moment　　此刻
＊这是一个极常用的时间副词, 通常置于句尾, 意为『此刻……』, 就等于"now"的意思。
例: I'm busy at the moment.
=I'm busy now.
(我此刻很忙。)
5.a little while　　一会儿
例: I can only stay here (for) a little while.
(我只能在这里待一会儿。)
I've stayed here (for) a long while.
(我已在此待了好一阵子了。)
句型运用
I'm afraid there aren't any at the moment.
现在恐怕没有毯子哦。
I'm afraid (that)...　　恐怕……
例: I'm afraid (that) it will rain tomorrow.
(明天恐怕会下雨。)
I'm afraid (that) the train has gone.
(恐怕火车已经离开了。)
注意:
afraid亦有下列用法:
be afraid of + 动名词 　　害怕……
to + 原形动词
例: Tom is afraid of seeing a dentist.
(汤姆害怕看牙医师。)
Mary is afraid to enter the room alone.
(玛丽不敢单独进入那房间。)
