新概念第一册43-44 课文详解及练习答案

课文详注 Further notes on the text

1. Can you make the tea, Sam? 你会沏茶吗，萨姆？

make the tea,沏茶。句中can是英语中最常见的几个情态助动词之一，请参见本课语法部分。

2.behind，在……的后面。

与in front of（在……前面）互为反义词。

3.The kettle's boiling!水开了! = The water in the kettle is boiling!

这里的kettle =water in the kettle。用容器来指代容器内的东西是一种修辞格，叫借代（metonymy）。

语法 Grammar in use

can(1)

can是英语中最常用的几个情态助动词之一，它本身不表示动作，只表示体力或脑力方面的能力或客观可能等。它必须与其他动词连用，本身没有性和数的变化。如：

I can see some coffee on the table. 我能看到桌子上的一些咖啡。

Can Sam read this book? 萨姆看得懂这本书吗？

can的否定形式为can not, cannot或can't（省略式）：

I can't see any coffee. 我看不见什么咖啡。 He can't find the cups. 他找不到杯子。

词汇学习 Word study

1.find v.

（1）找到；寻得：

It is most important to find a suitable person for the job. 找到一位适合做这项工作的人是至关重要的。

Where are the cups? I can't find them. 杯子放在哪儿
