Lesson 09 书店购书
  lesson 09 书店购书
  in the bookstore
  01 what can i do for you?
  您想买点什么?
  注意事项
  这句话是在讲英语的国家中,商店的售货员或餐厅的服务员招呼客人的话。类似的表达还有:may i help you? / can i do something for you? 等,而不是说what do you want? (你想要什么?),这样显得很不礼貌。
  02 what kind of book do you want?
  你想要哪方面的书?
  类似表达 which book do you want? / what book are you in need of?
  03 can you tell me where the historical books are?
  你能告诉我历史类的书在哪吗?
  注意事项
  where在句中做连词,意思是“在……地方”,引导地点状语从句。注意从句要用陈述语序。
  04 please call me if you have got new books, thank you.
  如果你们有新书的话,请通知我,谢谢。
  语法提要
  if是从属连词,通常连接的是两个完整的句子。在句中引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”。
  类似的连词还有unless /as long as / if only / only if 等。
  05 i heard that your shop got some new books last week.
  我听说你们店上个星期进了一批新书。
  语法提要
  在复合句中,宾语从句的时态通常要受主句时态的限制。本句的宾语从句中有明确的表示过去时间的词last week,所以从句的谓语用一般过去时。
  06 we have new supplies of travel books.
  我们有新进的旅游方面的书。
  语法提要
  supply 在句中作可数名词,表示“供给物”,supply是以辅音字母加y 结尾的名词,所以变复数时要去y 变i 加-es。
  07 i want to get a best seller, but the store hasn't replenished their stock yet.
  我想买本畅销书, 可商店还没进货。
  词组释义 best seller 畅销书
  08 the book seller told me that the author's new book would be published soon.
  书店售货员告诉我这个作家的新书即将面世。
  词组释义 be published 面世,问世
  09 the book which you're finding is in that corner.
  你要找的那本书在那个角落。
  语法提要
  这是一个定语从句,which在句中作宾语,代指先行词the book。当which在句中作主语时,不能省略;作宾语时,在口语和非正式用语中可以省略。
  10 excuse me, i'm looking for a cookery book.
  对不起,我在找一本烹饪方面的书。
  注意事项
  从句面上看这是一个陈述句,但句首有excuse me暗示这是一个问句,希望得到对方的帮助。
  11 the cooking book is on the third floor.
  烹饪书在三楼。
  语法提要
  third 是一个序数词,在句中作定语,表示“第三”。除first、second与third外,大多序数词是在其相应基数词后面加-th构成的。此外,以-ve结尾的five和twelve需将ve变f 后,再加-th;eight变序数词需要去掉t,而nine则需要去掉e,再在其后加-th。
  12 i'll check if we've got this book in our shop for you.
  我帮您查查看我们店里有没有这本书。
  语法提要
  if在句中作连词,引导宾语从句,意思是“是否”,虽然它本身含有疑问的意思,但通常用在陈述句中。
  13 i'm afraid that we don't have the book in stock at this moment.
  恐怕目前我们没有存货了。
  语法提要
  that在句中属于从属连词,只是用来连接主句和从句,并没有词意,that引导的是宾语从句,在句子中可以省略。
  14 this kind of book is out of stock in our shop.
  这本书在我们店里已脱销。
  词组释义 out of stock 脱销,没有存货

  她的书已经占据畅销排行榜很长时间了。

  17 i am going to buy some books, why don't you go with me?
  我要去买一些书,你为什么不跟我一起去呢?
  语法提要
  why don't you 后面跟动词原形,意思是“为什么不……”,表示建议或意见,等同于why not。
  18 the shop, though small, has all kinds of books.
  这家书店虽小,但是书很齐全。
  语法提要
  though small 是一个插入语,所以其前后都要用逗号隔开,相当于句子:though the shop is small, it has all kinds of books.。

  我最喜欢言情小说。
  类似表达 i like love story best. / the book i like best is love story.
