文本:

A:Your tree looks beautiful. Do you decorate it this way every year?

你們的樹看起來好漂亮。你們每年都這麼佈置嗎?

B:Yes, it’s a family tradition dating back to my childhood. We use the same lights and ornaments, but of course we have a new tree each year. The children made some of these decorations. Here, you can hang this on one of those high branches.

是的。記得從我孩提時候開始這就是家裡的傳統了。我們用一樣的燈泡和裝飾品;當然,我們每年都用一棵新樹。這些裝飾中有一部分是孩子們弄的。給,你可以把這個吊在一根高枝上。

B:Do you exchange the presents in the morning?

講解:

1. family tradition家庭傳統通常指一個家庭在每年重要時刻都要進行的家庭儀式。family tree則是家譜,另外family planning則是計劃生育了。

2. 參加過我正式美語課程同學應該知道just about中有兩個地方不發音,just的t不發音,about的t也不發音。美語中通常變成just about。另外關於t的發音,它在美語中有許多的變化。

3. 四點鐘叫four o’clock 也可以簡化為four。o’clock通常強調的是整點。

4. 包裝紙叫the wrapping paper,另外 If you keep something under wraps, you keep it secret, often until you are ready to announce it at some time in the future. 這句話的意思可以總結為under wrap就是保密的意思。
