Lesson 3 Please send me a card课文内容：Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!Notes on the text 课文注释1 a few words，几句话。2 lent me a book中，lent是“借出”的意思。我们常说lend sb．sth．或lend sth．to sb．。borrow是“借入”的意思，常用的结构是borrow sth．或borrow sth．from sb。参考译文明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。去年夏天，我去了意大利。我参观了博物馆，还去了公园。一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语，之后还借给我一本书。我读了几行，但一个字也不懂。我每天都想着明信片的事。假期过得真快，可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。到了最后一天，我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床，买来了37张明信片。我在房间里关了整整一天。然而竟连一张明信片也没写成！　　自学导读　　1．A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语。　　（1）虽然friendly是以-ly结尾，在拼法上与许多副词一样，但它却是形容词：　　He always greets me in a friendly way.　　他总是亲切地和我打招呼。　　She gave me a friendly greeting.　　她友好地和我打了一下招呼。　　He is not very friendly to John.　　他对约翰不太友善。　　类似的形容词有： brotherly, fatherly, manly, lovely, motherly 等。　　（2）a few可与复数可数名词连用，表示肯定，含有some, a small number of（一些，少数几个）的意思：　　The police would like to ask him a few questions.　　警察要问他一些问题。　　Mother is coming in a few days.　　妈妈过几天就要来了。　　2．Then he lent me a book. 之后还借给我一本书。　　像send, buy, give等动词一样，lend可以有两个宾语：一个直接宾语（通常指物），一个间接宾语（通常指人）。（cf. 本课语法）在这句话中，lend的直接宾语为a book，间接宾语为me。　　Would you lend me your pen?　　能把你的笔借我用一下吗？　　Yesterday I lent my dictionary to Mary.　　昨天我把字典借给了玛丽。　　3．…but I did not understand a word.……但一个字也不懂。not…a的否定意义比单用not要强。课文的最后一句加了single”，语气更强。　　4．Every day I thought about postcards. 我每天都想着明信片的事。　　think about可以指某一段时间一直在想／考虑某事：　　I often think about the lovely holiday we had last year.　　我经常回想我们去年度过的愉快的假期。　　What are you thinking about?　　你在想什么？　　Im thinking about my friends.　　我在想我的朋友们。　　5．make a big decision, 作出一项重大决定。　　make/take a decision
