There is nothing better than a hot dog in the country. 在乡间吃热狗，再也没有比这个更可人意的了。 There is nothing better than…: 没有比……更好的了。这是一个用比较 级的形式表达最高级含义的句型。也可以说 Theres nothing like… 2. Cooked outdoors over an open fire. I wish I had one now. 在户外篝火上烤热的，我希望现在就能来一个。 I wish I had one now.: 这是一个虚拟语气。表 现在希望干什么，wish 后面从句中的动词用过去式形式，be 动词则要使用 were 。 3. Do you remember when Daddy and I used to take you and Susan and Robbie to Jones Beach? 你还记得吗，你爸爸和我过去常带你和 Susan 还有 Robbie 到琼斯海 滨去玩？ used to do sth.: 指过去常常做某事，但是现在已经不做了。 Jones Beach: 是长岛的一个著名海滨，在纽约东面约二十英里 。 4. I might as well take it along. 我不妨带着（蕃茄沙司）。 may as well （might as well）: 意思是“还是……的好”。 5. And now to make sure weve got the hamburger patties.
