ACT 3-3 “你生活中還有別的女人嗎？

【故事梗概】

客廳里只留下了Susan和Harry，他們的談話涉及到了更多的私人問(wèn)題。

Susan: She’s going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow. She is sleeping here so she won’t have to travel from Riverdale in the morning.

Harry: You two must be close.

Susan: We are. The whole Stewart family is close.

Harry: I like that.

[Later that evening...]

Harry: And then, two years ago, my wife died.

Susan: You miss her.

Harry: I do...yes, but I have Michelle...and with time...

Susan: Is there anyone else in your life?

Harry: No, not yet. What about you?

Susan: Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.

【語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)精講】

1. She’s going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow.

be going to表示在最近的將來(lái)預(yù)定或按計(jì)劃要作的事。fashion show: 時(shí)裝表演。

2. You two must be close.

你們兩個(gè)一定很要好。must be 表示一種肯定的推測(cè)。close在這里的意思是“親密的，關(guān)系好的”。

3. I have Michelle...and with time...

"and with time..." 隨著時(shí)間的流逝，相當(dāng)于"as time goes by."

4. Is there anyone else in your life?

這句話是在委婉的問(wèn)" Do you have a special woman or girlfriend in your life? "（你生活中還有別的女人嗎？）

5. What about you?

你呢？這句話通常用來(lái)反問(wèn)對(duì)方。在本語(yǔ)境中，意思是"Do you have a special man or boy friend in your life?"（你有沒(méi)有男朋友？）

6. Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.

噢，我偶爾也和人約會(huì)，可是我工作太忙了。

keep+賓語(yǔ)+賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)，使...處于某種狀態(tài)（情況）。用作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)常見(jiàn)的詞有現(xiàn)在分詞、過(guò)去分詞、形容詞、副詞以及介詞短語(yǔ)。
