课文注释及词汇讲解
* try 试图
try to do sth. 尽力做某事
eg. We'll try to meet the customers' demands
我们将尽力满足客户的需求。
* common interest 共同兴趣
eg. Two strangers are trying to find topics of common interest.
两个陌生人正在尽量寻找双方都感兴趣的话题。
* trip 旅行
eg. This is my second trip to the United States.
这是我第二次来美国。
* Do you like it here?
你喜欢这儿吗?
注意:
代词"it"在这里没有什么实际意义,但必不可少。因为here为副词,like为及物动词,所以需要有it做宾语。
* How do you find Tokyo?
你觉得东京怎么样?
也可以说成 "What do you think of Tokyo?"或 "How do you like Tokyo?"
* interesting 令人感兴趣的
eg. The film is interesting.
这部电影很有趣。
Interested (人对某事或某物)感受到有兴趣的
Eg. I'm interested in the film.
我对这部影片感兴趣。
* another 另一(个,件…)
eg. Would you like another cup of tea?
你还要一杯茶吗?
I need another day to finish the work..
我还需要一天才能完成工作。
* stay 停留,暂住
eg. Are you staying long?
你逗留的时间长吗?
Which hotel are you staying in?
你住在哪家旅馆?
注意:
stay为不及物动词,所以在第二个例句中一定要接介词in ,这样才能带宾语。
* unfortunately 令人遗憾,运气不好地
eg. Unfortunately, I can only stay for a week.
真遗憾,我只能呆一周。
* Business or pleasure?
出差还是度假?
本句为 "Do you come here for business or for pleasure?"的省略句。在口语中经常用省略句。
* I'm afraid… 我恐怕……,恐怕是……[有时可以不直译]
该句式用于缓和语气或婉转地表达想法,也可以用于表示不肯定的语气。
Eg. I'm afraid I can't come on Friday afternoon, because I will be having a meeting then.
因为要开个会,周五下午我恐怕不能来。
* set up 建立,设立
eg. We are going to set up a new plant in this area.
我们打算在这个地区建一座新工厂。
* be based 总部设在……
eg. Where is your company based?
你们公司的总部设在哪儿?
* sort of 有点,稍微 [多用于口语]
eg. I'm sort of surprised.
* north mid-west of the States 美国中西部的北部
mid-west 中西部
注意:
在英语中东北、东南、西北、西南分别为northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest, 与汉语习惯不同。
* be in fashion [在本课指]从事时装行业;(通常指)时髦,流行
eg. I'm in fashion-on the design side.
我从事时装行业-搞设计的。

* traditional 传统的
eg. I thought Atlanta world be more traditional.
我原以为亚特兰大会更加传统一点儿。
注意:
这里 I thought 为过去时,表明"我原以为,现在不这样认为了"。若用了 I think则意味着"我一直这样认为,现在也是"。

eg. The visitors are shown around the new plant by the director himself.
来访者由厂长亲自带着参观新工厂。
* That's a pity.
真可惜。
* line (一般在商务英语中)行业
