It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'
'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.
'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'
参考译文:
那是个星期天, 而在星期天我是从来不早起的, 有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候. 上个星期天, 我起得很晚. 我望望窗外, 外面一片昏暗. “鬼天气!” 我想, “又下雨了. “正在这时, 电话铃响了. 是我姑母露西打来的. “我刚下火车, “她说, “我这就来看你. “ “但我还在吃早饭, “我说.
“你在干什么?” 她问道.
“我正在吃早饭, “我又说了一遍.
“天啊, “她说, “你总是起得这么晚吗?现在已经1点钟了!”
【课文讲解】
1、It was Sunday.
it指时间、天气、温度或距离,it被称为“虚主语”(empty subject)。作为第三人称单数的中性代词,it可以指一件东西、一件事件或用来指是什么人:
It is a lovely baby.
2、I never get up early on Sundays.
on Sundays: 所有的星期天,每逢星期天,与一般现在时连用,表示经常性的行为。
介词on一般用于表示某一天的时间短语中:on Monday,on Monday morning,on that day 当使用last,next,this,that时,介词(以及定冠词)必须省略:

never 从来不 (可以直接用在动词前面)=助动词+not (变成否定句,前面一定要加助动词) I don't like her.=I never like her.
3、I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. 在表达卧床时bed前不需加冠词: It’s time for bed now.
You must stay/remain in bed for another two days. 你必须再卧床两天。
4、Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. just then: 就在那时
如果不知道对方性别, 他/她可以用it取代 Who are you?/Who is it ?
5、I've just arrived by train,
by 直接加交通工具(不能有任何修饰词, 复数);如果加修饰词, 就要换掉by用in或on I go out by bus.
I go out in/on two buses. (指具体的两辆车介词用in/on) Long ago people could go to America only by ship/sea. 如果是特指的交通工具,则要加冠词或其他限定词: My aunt left by the 9:15 train.
by air 乘飞机 by boat 乘船 by car 乘小汽车 by plane 乘飞机 by ship 乘船
by bicycle/bike 骑自行车 by bus 乘公共汽车 by land 由陆路 by sea 由海路 by train 乘火车

7、Dear me!
天哪!英国人说Dear me!或My dear!
美国人说 : My god! 注意美英的发音不同.
【Key structures】
现在进行时和一般现在时
现在进行时表示说话的当时正在发生或正在发生的事件,也用来表示现阶段(一段时间)的动向。现在进行时常与now,just,still等副词连用:

Jane is just dressing up. 简正在打扮。
一般现在时表示习惯性动作, 真理, 是过去、现在和未来都会发生的事情。一般现在时一般与频率副 词often,always,sometimes,never,frequently,rarely,ever等连用。
Helen never writes to her brother Tony. She sometimes rings him. 频率副词往往放在句子中的实义动词前, 非实义动词后;如果既有实义动词又有非实义动词, 要放在两个之间;疑问句中副词往往放在主语后面。在否定句中not必须放在always之前,而且也出现在generally、normally、often、regularly和usually之前;not必须出现在sometimes和frequently之后。表示肯定的速记可以用在句尾;在特别强调和需要对比时,frequently、generally、normally、sometimes、usually等副词可用于句首。
I get paid on Friday usually.
Very often the phone rings when I’m in bath.
非实义动词 : ① 系动词(be)
② 帮助动词构成时态的助动词(do, does, will, shall, have, had, has) ③ 情态动词(must, can, may) 除此之外都是实义动词.
I frequently go to bed hungry. (形容词作状语) He went to school hungry.饿着肚子上学. You must come here hungry.空腹来这里.
【Special Difficulties】
以what开头的感叹句:
在英语中可用what引导的感叹句来表示惊奇、愤怒、赞赏、喜悦等感情,在感叹中主谓语采用正常语序。
What 对名词感叹,感叹句的结构为:What +a/an (+adj.)+n.(+主语+谓语)! What a good girl (she is)! (主、谓可省)
有上下文和一定的语境, 才能省略形容词。一般省略形容词表示批评或不大好的意思。 What a thing to say! 多么难听的话啊! What (a lot of) trouble( he is causing)!
