(1)一問一答兩個(gè)句子均使用了現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)。watch及物動(dòng)詞,“觀看;注視”,指帶有欣賞性的觀看,常指看電視、看比賽。例如:
Jim is watching a football game. 吉姆正在觀看一場(chǎng)足球比賽。
(2)watch還可以用作名詞,“手表”。例如:
I want a new watch. 我想要一塊新手表。
2. Do you want to go to the movies? 你想去看電影嗎?
(1)want 動(dòng)詞,“想;想要”。通常有兩種用法,即want sth. 想要某物;want to do sth. 想要做某事。例如:

他給我們看他的照片。
4. Whats he waiting for? 他在等什么?
wait為不及物動(dòng)詞,跟賓語(yǔ)時(shí)需要加介詞for, 組成動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)wait for“等候,等待”。例如:

They are waiting for the bus. 他們正在等公共汽車。
5. Thanks for your letter and the photos. 謝謝你的來(lái)信和寄來(lái)的照片。
(1)thanks for相當(dāng)于thank you for, for后跟名詞。例如:

(2)如果for后要表示一個(gè)動(dòng)作,就要使用動(dòng)名詞形式,即:thanks for doing sth.。例如:

(2)若對(duì)天氣狀況提問時(shí),常用Hows the weather…?意為“……的天氣如何?”。例如:

(3)cloudy作形容詞,由名詞cloud加“y”構(gòu)成的。意為“多云的;陰天的”。本單元中還有windy, sunny, 也是同樣的構(gòu)詞法(wind+y和sun雙寫n+y)。類似的還有rainy(多雨的)和snowy(多雪的)等。

(2)句中的主語(yǔ)是代詞it, 用來(lái)指代問話人所問的“那件事情”,即可以指代問話人所關(guān)心的任何事情。
(3)動(dòng)詞go在此處不表示“去;走”,而表示“進(jìn)行;進(jìn)展”,常用be going的結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:
Everything is going well. 一切進(jìn)展順利。
——How is it going? 事情進(jìn)展如何?
——Marvelous! 棒極了!
3. Thank you for joining CCTVs Around the World show.
Around the World 在此作為專有名詞,所以要大寫首字母,即“(央視的)世界各地”欄目。around the world 意為:環(huán)球(旅行),或世界各地。around 在此處的意思是:在各處。例如:
Your clothes are lying around the room. 你的衣服放得臥室到處都是。
