make one‘s dream come true
使某人梦想成真
Language points 语言点:
1. Mr Liu and his co-worker Miss Wang are at the airport to meet Mr Lee, their new
business partner.
their new business partner是 Mr Lee的同位语。又如：This is Miss Wang, our
sales manager.
meet sb at the airport 到机场去接某人 “给某人送行”是see sb. off。
2. Pardon me, but are you Mr Lee?
Pardon me也可以说成Excuse me。
3. I‘m Liu Lei of Tianjin Sunshine Group.
这是主系表结 构，是英语简单句五种基本句型之一，主要说明主语的性质和
状态，表语也称为主语补语。详解请参考本 课语法。课文中有不少同样结构的句
子。如：This is Miss Wang, our sales manager.
4. And you just call me Sophie, as I said.
call在这里意为―称呼‖，是动词。它还当―打电话‖讲。
e.g. Please tell him that I called him. 请告诉他我给他打了电话。
call还是名词。如：a telephone call 一个电话（即一次通话）
4. He majors in foreign trade.
这句的结构也属于英语简单句五种基本句型之一，即主语加谓语动词。称为基
本句型，因为它 们只是框架，还可以有更丰富的成分。
此句使用的时态是一般现在时。majors是动词major的第三人称单数形式。
5. 初次见面和正式场合的问候一般用 How do you do? 比较随意时说 Hello.或
Hi. 初次见面还要说 Glad to meet you .之类的客气话。回答时均可重复原问话，
语调稍做改变。
6．That‘s very kind of you. 或 It‘s very nice of you. 等是类似 Thank you. 的感谢
的话，回答时说：
别客气。 You are welcome.
愿意效劳。 It‘s a my pleasure.
不必客气。 Don‘t mention it.

2

注意翻译这类句子或短语时只要整体表达，别逐字汉译。
7．Like most young people of my age, I like listening to pop music.
前面的like是介词 (prep.)，意为“象…一样”而非动词“喜欢”。又如：
Sophie‘s hair style is quite new, like yours.
而后面的like是动词 ，意为“喜爱”，后面跟名词或动名词作宾语。同样用法
的还有后面的enjoy 和look forward to。
e.g. The twin sisters look like each other very much. 这对孪生姐妹长得很相象。
I like to imagine(想象)myself can fly like a bird.
I like painting.
I enjoy playgoing greatly.
I‘ve been looking forward to this moment for years.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
8. I had a dream that …
这句话的时态是一般过去时。Had是have 的过去式。
9. And you have made my dream come true.
这句话使用的时态是现在完成时。

Cultural background 文化背景
Greetings and Introductions are an essential aspect of both British and US culture
the importance of which can never be overemphasized. Introducing yourself and
others in the correct way is fraught with various do‘s and dont‘s of etiquette.
In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman and a younger
person would be introduced to an older person. However, in the business world
introductions are based on a person‘s rank or position in an organisation. Whoever is
the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If
you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less
well to the one you know best.
There might be occasions where you will have to introduce yourself. For
example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by
extending your hand and saying“Hello! I am .....” If you have been introduced earlier
to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to
reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.
The British and Americans do shake hands, i.e. when first introduced to new
people, but they rarely shake hands when parting. When young people meet
informally they sometimes say
In an informal situation you may see social kissing (often just a peck on the
cheek), this is acceptable between men and women and also between women who
know each other very well.

Language points 语言点:

有其他的意思，如：
I‘m getting heavier and heavier these days. 我最近越来越胖了。
The traffic is very heavy at this hour everyday. 每天的这个时间交通总是很
拥挤。
2. That‘s not too bad. 此句不能按字面意思直接翻译，美国人在表达“very
good”时，常常更喜欢用“not bad”。因此，根据上下文此处应译成“太好
了”
3. Besides the seashore, the natural beauty of Tianjin in summer is another
attraction.
besides 除此之外,包括所指对象，与其相近且容易混淆的except 则不包括所
指对象。 如：Besides English we also learn French. 除了英语之外我们还学习法

Every shot told. 弹无虚发。
Don‘t tell me you did it. 该不会是你干得吧！（表示惊讶）
tell noses 数人数
Cultural background 文化背景
Weather is the common topic in western life, and it is not related with personal
business. Therefore, talking with other people about the weather is the typical feature
in western communication, especially in Britain. The topic on weather is limitless. In
talking about weather you‘d better have your own opinions instead of only repeating
the content of weather forecast. The most important rule in the subject is showing the
agreement to others‘ comments. For example, some people says: ―Nice day, isn‘t it?‖
You should reply without hesitation: ―Isn‘t it lovely?‖

joining the ladies in the drawing-room, but this custom is not observed in many places.

Culture background 文化背景
Most stores in America are in the suburbs. The large number of people living in
the suburbs is one of the reasons. But the most important reason is that there is no
place for parking in the central city. People can find very large parking lots around the
stores in the suburbs.
Shopping in the supermarket is quite simple. You can walk in and pick up a
shopping cart, which is free of charge , push the cart along the aisles and choose the
articles on the shelves, When you get everything you need, push the cart to the
check-out gate .After paying for the goods , you return the cart to its place by the door.
That‘s it.
Unlike a supermarket, a department store is salesperson served. Prices in
department stores are often higher than in supermarkets. But they have many things
that are not sold in supermarkets, and the quality of the merchandise is often better,
too.
Most cities and states in the U.S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you
buy. The tax varies from place to place. The lower ones may one or two percent and
the higher ones may go up to eight or even ten percent.

Culture background 文化背景
Gift Giving
? If you are invited to a British home, it is standard practice to bring wine, flowers,
andor chocolates for your hosts. Do not feel offended if the host does not open your
gift of wine that evening but adds it to his cellar; it does not mean that the gift is
unappreciated (or that the host would rather drink your fine vintage claret on his or

13

her own at a later date) but quite simply that he or she has probably already chilled the
white wine and opened the red that are appropriate for that meal.
? Champagne, though, is never unwelcome and can always be put quickly in the
fridge for an after-dinner toast.
? Spirits, on the other hand, are a matter of personal taste and best not given as a
present. A bottle of your favourite bourbon may languish unopened in the drinks
cabinet for years.
? The usual European caveats apply when giving flowers: no red roses, white lilies,
or chrysanthemums.
? If you know that you are going to stay with a family, it is a good idea to bring
something from your own country. Your hosts are letting you into the intimacy of
their home, so a coffee-table book about your area or some artefact that typifies it
would constitute a way of letting your hosts into some of the secrets of your own
home. If you are unprepared, then your time in your hosts‘ house should allow you to
think of something they would really appreciate even if you have to mail it from home
on your return.
? Whenever you have been a guest in a home, you should definitely send a
hand-written thank- you note. Indeed, it is a thoughtful gesture to thank your hosts in
writing for any hospitality, even a short drinks party.

Culture background 文化背景
E-mail Etiquette
These online etiquette rules (also known as Netiquette Network etiquette) offer a few
suggestions for sending e-mail esp. in busyness world . You should try to adhere to
these rules not only when writing business e-mail, but also when corresponding
through personal e-mail.
Even if you have a friendly or casual relationship with colleagues, you should
remember that on-the-job correspondence means that an e-mail is a business letter, in
which salutations and greetings should not be forgotten

The same principles apply to writing letters. You should start off formally and
continue until your correspondent hints (e.g. by signing off with just his or her first
name) that it is appropriate to switch. Some correspondences, however, may continue
formally until the writers actually meet. Subordinates may never feel comfortable
addressing their superiors by their first name either in writing or orally.
The rules for e-mail are more relaxed but there are some who write e-mails as if they
were writing a ?normal‘ letter. In any case, there is no excuse for not using the
spellchecker.
