DIALOGUE 51
Goiing to School
1--Go really fast,Cindy!
2--I can'. The speed limit here is thirty miles an
hour.
1--What a pity! I love going fast.
2--How do you usually get to school?
1--We never go by car! We usually walk or go by bus.
2--How long does it take you?
1--About twenty minutes by bus.
===================================
注解：
1）speed limitzhi指交通规则所限定的行车速度。
2）About twenty minutes by bus是省略句。全句应是
It takes us about twenty minutes to get to school
by bus. take作“花费”“需要”解，其后的us是间接
宾语，about twenty minutes是直接宾语。it是形式
主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to get to school by
bus.
===================================
译文:
1--开快点,辛迪!
2--不能再快了,这里的时速限制是30英里。
1--真遗憾！我就爱车开得飞快。

DIALOGUE 52
About School
1--How many hours a week do you work, Sue?
2--We have to start at nine o'clock in the morning.
but I'm always at school by a quarter past eight,
in fact. Erm, we finish at four o'clock 4 days a
week, and I usually do go home at four o'clock,
and I'm usually home by half past four. Wednesday
afternoon is free, so we finish at twelve o'clock
on Wednesday.

2--Interested. I suppose I got interested when I did
my master's degree.

processor, quite a lot, but I also use it for playing
around creating programs.
===================================
注解：
1）How long have you been interested in computers?
此句直译：你对计算机感兴趣有多长时间了？
2）I got interested in...：got是系动词，与be interested

级称作“学士”(Bachelor's degree)，中级称“硕士”，最高级
称“博士”(Doctor's degree)。
4）sort：种类，类别。与kind同义。
5）word processor：文字处理机。
6）play around creating programs：他在计算机上编制
程序等等只是为了娱乐消遣，并非正经的工作，所以才这样
说。play around作"spend time having fun","to amuse oneself
with..."解。

译文：
1--你一个星期工作多少小时，休？
2--我们早上必须9点开始工作。但实际上我总是8点
15分就到学校了。每个星期有四个下午是4点结束
工作。所以我经常是4点钟就往家走。4点半钟到家。星期
三下午没事，所以我们星期三中午12点就完事了。

2--我想是从硕士学位时我就对计算机感兴趣。
1--你都用计算机干些什么事？
2--嗬，我自己是用计算机进行文字处理，用得很多，
但有时也用计算机编程序取乐。
