Question

【題目】What are magic words? Words like ‘thank you’, ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ can work wonders in our daily life. These polite expressions are used every day in American – among strangers, between friends or with family. People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words.

What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday?你最好坐下來寫一封感謝信。68. The words ‘thank you’ are very important and used very often. We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a drinks, or lends us an umbrella.

‘Please’ is another important word, but many people forget to use it. It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying ‘please’. We are supposed to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book, a pen, or more milk. It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop. We can use ‘please’ to make a request（請求）pleasant.

我們也應(yīng)該學(xué)會說‘對不起’。If we have hurt someone’s feeling, we will have to say ‘sorry’. When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used. Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. ‘sorry’ is such a word that can make people forget wrongs.

‘Thank you! Please! Sorry!’ – these words are simple but useful. Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kids.

【答案】

【2】You’d better sit down and write a thank-you note.

【3】“謝謝”這類詞非常重要并且經(jīng)常被使用。

【4】當(dāng)我們需要某些東西的時候，我們也應(yīng)該使用它。

【5】We should learn to say sorry too.

【解析】

試題分析：你知道單詞是有魔力的嗎？像“謝謝你”、“請”、“對不起”等這樣的詞匯就是有魔力的詞匯。在我們的日常生活中，我們應(yīng)多使用這樣的詞匯。短文中作者用生活中的實例告訴我們應(yīng)該如何使用這些有魔力的詞匯。

【1】good manners 好的習(xí)慣，有禮貌，with的這個短語在句中做后置定語，修飾前面的名詞people；communicate with others是一個固定的短語，和某人交流；by using these magic words是一個介詞短語做方式狀語，通過使用這些有魔力的詞匯。

【2】had better固定短語，最好……，后面應(yīng)跟動詞的原形；sit down坐下來；write a letter/note寫一封信。根據(jù)句意可知，這里說的是感謝信，thank-you是合成形容詞，感謝的，修飾后面的名詞note。這句話中用and 將兩個謂語動詞連接起來。

【3】thank you謝謝，是固定的短語；important重要的，是一個形容詞；used 前面省略了be動詞，這里應(yīng)該是一個被動語態(tài)，像“謝謝”這樣的詞經(jīng)常被使用。

【4】be supposed to do sth.是一個固定的句型，應(yīng)該去做某事；when在句中引導(dǎo)了一個時間狀語從句；ask for sth.需要某個東西，想要某個東西；當(dāng)有從句時，為了使句意通順，我們可以先翻譯從句的意思。

【5】should是情態(tài)動詞，意思是應(yīng)該，后跟動詞的原形；learn to do sth.學(xué)會做某事，是一個固定的句型；say sorry說對不起。too也，是一個副詞，常放在句末。
