合肥六中高一(20)班英语学习中心组活动材料 Family Album U.S.A EPISODE 2 The Blind Date Background 题解：约会（dating）是美国男女交往以及恋爱结婚的重要起始步骤，通过 dating可以增进了解和建立感情。由别人介绍而男女双方素未谋面的约会称为 blind date，意谓直到见面以前都是“盲目”——两眼一摸黑。苏珊是职业女性，公司要员，年纪较大了，难怪别人要给她介绍约会对象，而且有孩子。此人比较老实木讷，苏姗会喜欢他吗？ 梗概：哈里·贝内特去找苏珊住的公寓套房，却走得晕头转向，迟到了。玛丽琳正在苏珊处，促他们去饭馆。贝内特不放心女儿米歇尔，打电话把饭馆的电话号码告诉了临时保姆。果然，到饭馆刚要了菜，电话寻踪而至——女儿病了。贝内特匆匆告辞。苏珊把饭菜带回家里和玛丽琳共享，而贝内特却又赶回来了。玛丽琳知趣告辞。二人谈了一会儿，贝内特又匆匆走了。他给苏珊留下了印象？ Act 1 1.New words and expressions01. apartment公寓(1) Its a bonsai tree for your new apartment.02. apologize道歉(1) To apologize for leaving so early, I brought you a little gift.03. believe相信(1) You wont believe it, Marilyn!04. block街区(1) Then walk two blocks to the traffic light.05. close密切(1) You two must be close.(2) The whole Stewart family is close.06. complain抱怨(1) You ordered fo four people, but Im not complaining.07. corner拐角() To the corner and then a left?08. date约会() Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.09. daughter女儿() I hope your daughter is all right.(2) Id like to meet your daughter someday.10. delicious美味的11. development开发(1) Im the vice-president of new toy development.12. firm公司行号(1) Your companys accounting firm.13. forgive原谅() Will you forgive me?14. friend朋友() Any friend of Miss Stewarts is welcome at Somsaks.15. fun愉快 16.What do you want?什么事？17.After you.请先走。18.Ill take care of everything.我会好好照料一切。19.Im not complaining.我不在意。20.I never like that umbrella stand.我一直嫌那伞架碍事。  ACTⅠ On a street in downtown Manhattan 1.
