裕兴新概念英语第二册笔记 第 23 课 Lesson 23 A new house 新居 Why is the new house special? I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district. 参考译文 昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信，她住在尼日利亚。在信中她 说她明年将到英国来。如果她来了，她会感到非常惊奇了。 我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。这栋房子在我姐 姐离开之前就已动工了，是在 5 个月以前竣工的。我在信中 告诉她，她可以和我们住在一起。这栋房子里有许多房间， 还有一个漂亮的花园。它是一栋非常现代化的住宅，因此在 有些人看来很古怪。它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住 宅。 【 New words and expressions 】（ 4 ） 1 complete[k ?mpli:t] v. 完成 2 modern [m ?d ?n] a. 新式 的，与以往不同的 3 strange [streind ?] a. 奇怪 的 4 district [distrikt] n. 地区 一．单词讲解： complete adj./n. adj. （很少有比较级、最高级的变化） 1) 全部的，完备的 the complete works of Hemingway a large house complete with swimming pool 所设备齐全带有游泳池的大房子 2) 彻底的，完全的 a complete victory a complete failure 完胜 彻底的失败 be complete 完成/ be finished eg.
