1. Ive been skating since I was seven years old. 我自从七岁就一直滑冰。

【点拨】 1）since是连词，意为“自从……以来”，用来引导时间状语从句；主句常用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，从句常用一般过去时。例如：

He has worked here since he came here in 1990. 他自从1990年来到这儿，就在这儿工作。

2）since也可用作介词，后面接表示过去某一时间的词或短语。例如：

She has been playing the guitar since nine oclock. 她从九点起就一直弹吉他。

2. My mom says I have to stop, because weve run out of room to store them. 妈妈说我必须停下来，因为我已用完了屋里所有的空间去储存它们了。

We ran out of all our money this morning. 我们今天上午把所有的钱都花完了。

3. By the way, whats your hobby? 顺便问一下，你的爱好是什么？

【点拨】 by the way意为“顺便一提；附带说说”。例如：

By the way, I have something to tell you. 顺便我有些事告诉你。

4. I am interested in the job as a writer. 我对作家的工作很感兴趣。

【点拨】 be interested in意为“对……感兴趣”，是一个固定短语，后面接动词时，要用动词-ing形式。例如：

6. Would you mind turning down the music? 你介意我把音量调低点吗？

【点拨】 1) mind意为“介意、反对”，后面通常接名词、动名词或从句，一般用于疑问句、否定句或条件从句中，表示请求许可或请求别人做某事。句型“Would you mind ...?”意为“你介意/反对……？”例如：

Would you mind cleaning the yard? 你介意打扫院子吗？

2) turn down意为“把音量调低”，是由“动词+副词”构成的短语动词，当宾语是代词时，代词要放在副词的前面。例如：

The radio is too loud. Please turn it down. 收音机的音量太大了，请调低一点。

7. What a lucky guy! 多么幸运的家伙！

【点拨】 这是一个省略了主谓结构的感叹句。由what引导的感叹句用来修饰名词，句型结构为：（1）What + a / an + 形容词 + 单数可数名词 + 主语 +谓语！（2）What + 形容词 + 不可数名词 / 复数可数名词复数 + 主语 + 谓语！ 例如：

What a good boy he is!他是一个多么好的孩子！

9. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. 在美国，有些人不让他们的家人和朋友给他们买礼物，而是让他们把钱捐给慈善机构。

【点拨】 rather than 意为“与其……（不如……）；不是……（而是……），”可以连接词类相同的词，意思相当于instead of。例如：

He ran all the way rather than walked. 他不是走着，而是一路跑着。

10. Maybe you could even make friends with a native speaker of English. 也许你可以和把英语作为母语的外国人交朋友。

【点拨】 make friends with 是一个固定短语，意为“与……交朋友”。例如：

11. —Have you ever been to a water park? 你曾经去过水上公园吗？

—No, I havent.不，我没去过。

【点拨】 have been to ... 意为“去过某地”，指过去去过，现在已经回来了。have gone to ... 意为“去了某地”表示人已不在说话处，可能已经到达了目的地，也可能在途中。例如：

Mr Li has gone to Beijing. He will come back next week. 李老师去北京了，他下周回来。

【点拨】 a quarter意为“四分之一”，也可说成one fourth；“四分之三”可说成three quarters，也可说成three fourths。

13. It looks like rain, doesnt it? 好像要下雨，是吗？

【点拨】 反意疑问句的附加疑问句与陈述句在人称、数及时态上要一致。若陈述句部分是肯定的，附加问句部分就要用否定的；若陈述句部分是否定的，附加问句部分就要用肯定的。例如：
