ACT 1-1 “没问题没问题没问题没问题，，，，小事一桩小事一桩小事一桩小事一桩。。。。”【【【【故事梗概故事梗概故事梗概故事梗概】】】】星期五傍晚，从有氧运动高级班回来的Marilyn一进屋就一屁股坐在地板上。她累坏了。她告诉Richard高级班的运动强度很大，但是Richard认为如果换作他，这种程度的锻炼完全是小菜一碟。Marilyn: I am exhausted. My new exercise class is so hard. Richard: Your new exercise class? Marilyn: Yeah. My new advanced exercise class. Richard: Why advanced? Marilyn: My instructor thought that the beginners class was too easy for me. Richard: Too easy for you? Marilyn: Dont laugh. In the beginners class, they give you a chance to rest between exercises. Richard: So? Marilyn: The advanced class is nonstop. Richard: I lift weights every morning for sixty minutes without stopping. No problem. Marilyn: Listen, Richard, doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than lifting weights. Richard: Yeah. Quite a bit different. I think aerobics is easy. I could work out in your class with no problem. Marilyn: You think so? Richard: Oh, without a doubt. Whens the next class? Marilyn: Tomorrow morning at ten oclock. Try it. Richard: Tomorrow morning after lifting weights, Ill try aerobics. Its a snap. Tomorrow morning at ten oclock. 【【【【语语语语言点精讲言点精讲言点精讲言点精讲】】】】My instructor thought that the beginners class was too easy for me. 我的教练认为初学班对我太容易了。 too+ 形容词或副词+ for sb.，表示对于某人来说是过于……了。2. No problem. No problem.与后文出现的Its a snap. 都是“没问题，小事一桩”的意思，用来表示某事很容易，做起来毫无问题。3. Doing aerobics for an hour is a lot different than lifting weights. 连续做1小时有氧运动可跟练哑铃大不一样。 different than: 跟...不一样。这里用 different from更规范，但很多美国人跟Marilyn一样，在different之后使用than，这已经成为了一种约定熟成的用法。 aerobics: (通过散步、跑步、游泳、划船、骑车、舞蹈、体操等有节奏运动等增强心肺循环功能的)有氧运动，健身操。也可以说aerobic exercise. lift weights: 举重。在这里指练哑铃。4. I could work out in your class with no problem. 要我到你们班上去锻炼锻炼，绝不会有困难。Richard说这话的意思是，假如有机会一试的话，即可证明我的能力。 I could...: 我可以……，我能…… work out: 这里的意思是锻炼，尤指健身、健美训练。5. You think so? 你真的这样认为吗？当对别人的意见不能确定或赞同时，可以使用这句话。 6. Oh, without a doubt. without a doubt: 相当于sure; of course. （当然，毫无问题。）这是用非常肯定的口气来强调自己的话口气ACT 1-2 “你敢打赌吗你敢打赌吗你敢打赌吗你敢打赌吗？？？？”【【【【故事梗概故事梗概故事梗概故事梗概】】】】星期六早上，Richar
