GRANDMOTHER: Eh?
PENNY: He says he's just arrived in Scotland. He says he's staying at a Youth Hostel. You know he's a member of the Y.H.A.
GRANDMOTHER: The what?
PENNY: The Y.H.A., Mum. The Youth Hostels Association. GRANDMOTHER: What else does he say?
PENNY: 'I'll write a letter soon. I hope you are all well.' GRANDMOTHER: What? Speak up. Penny. I'm afraid I can't hear you.
PENNY: He says he'll write a letter soon. He hopes we are all well. 'Love, Jimmy.'
GRANDMOTHER: Is that all? He doesn't say very much, does he?
PENNY: He can't write very much on a card, Mum.
祖母：请把吉米的明信片念给我听听，彭妮。 彭妮：“我刚到苏格兰，我现住在一家青年招待所。”
祖母：什么?
彭妮：他说他刚到苏格兰。他说他住在一家青年招待所。你知道，他是“青招协”的一个成员。
祖母：什么? 彭妮：“青招协”，妈妈。青年招待所协会。 祖母：他还说了些什么? 彭妮：“我很快会写信的。祝你们大家身体都好。”
祖母：什么?彭妮，大声一点。我可听不见你念的。
彭妮：他说他很快会写信的。他祝我们大家身体好。“谨此问候，吉米。”
祖母：就这些吗?他没写许多，是吗?
彭妮：在明信片上他写不了很多，妈妈。
【知识点讲解】
1. arrive v. 到达;来临，不及物动词arrive in+大地点;arrive at+小地点，例如： I have just arrived in London/China. I have just arrived at bar/home.
表示到达的词get to=reach=arrive。
例句：If you arrive in Shanghai, please call me. 你到了上海之后请打个电话告知我一声。 2.He doesn't say very much，does he?他没写许多，是吗?
这是一个基本的反义疑问句，也称为附加疑问句，附加疑问句中的前后两部分的谓语在时态、人称和数上都要一致。回答这种问句时要简略，要根据事实回答。如果答语本身是肯定的，就用 Yes;如果答语本身是否定的，就用 No。
