为什么这位男士需要一本常用语手册？
Last week Mrs Mills¹ went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way.
Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus-stop. “ I can ask him the way.” She said to herself.
“Excuse me,” she said.
“Can you tell me the way to King Street please?”
The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English!  He spoke² German. He was a tourist.
Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrase-book.
He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly.
“I am sorry,” he said. “ I do not speak English.”

参考译文
上星期米尔斯夫人去了伦敦。她对伦敦不很熟悉，因此迷了路。
突然，她在公共汽车站附近看到一个男人。“我可以向他问路，”她想。
“对不起，您能告诉我到国王街怎么走吗？”她说。
这人友好地笑了笑。他不懂英语！他讲德语。他是个旅游者。
然后他把手伸进了衣袋，掏出了一本常用语手册。
他翻开书找到了一条短语。他缓慢地读着短语。
”很抱歉，“他说，”我不会讲英语。”

 

　　自学导读
1．She does not know London very well. 她对伦敦不很熟悉。
know…well这一短语意为"对……了解"。又如：
I don't know him very well.
我不太了解他。
2．…,  and she lost her way. ……因此她迷路了。
句中的 and当"所以"讲，表示结果。 lose one's way, 迷路。
3．ask(sb.) the way, （向某人）问路。
4．say to oneself, 心中暗想。
注意：talk to oneself意为"自言自语地说"。
5．Can you tell me the way to King Street, please? 您能告诉我到国王街怎么走吗？
tell sb. the way(to), 告诉某人（去……的）路。
6．cut himself＝ cut his face。
以整体代替部分是英语中的一种修辞格，叫提喻（merism ／'merim／）。
语法  Grammar in use
1．副词
副词（adverb）这个词的本意是补充动词的意义。这就是许多副词的作用。它们可以通过修饰动词告诉我们有关句中某个动作的情况，也就是告诉我们某事是如何、何时、何地等发生或进行的。
副词可以是单个的词（如 slowly）或词组（如 very well）。单一副词既有以-ly结尾的也有不以-ly结尾的（如 quickly,  fast）。
形容词向副词的转换一般遵循3个规则：
（1）在形容词后面直接加-ly，如：
quick----quickly
hurried----hurriedly
pleasant----pleasantly
warm----warmly
（2）以-y结尾的形容词，则把-y改成-i，再加-ly，如：
thirsty----thirstily
happy----happily
（3）形容词与副词形式相同：
late----late
fast----fast
hard----hard
well----well
2．部分不规则动词的过去式形式
go----went
see----saw
understand----understood
take----took
read----read ／red／
drink----drank
run----ran
know----knew
say----said
put----put
cut----cut
eat----ate
meet----met
come----came
lose----lost
tell----told
speak----spoke
find----found
give----gave
swim----swam
have----had
