leave / make an impression on 给某人留下深刻印象 Language Points 1. My first impression of Mrs Li was that she was nervous and shy. 我对李老师最初的印象是她既紧张又害羞。 impression 在此处为可数名词，意为“印象”。one’s (first) impression of 某人对……的（最初）印象 leave / make an impression on 给某人留下深刻印象

2. I’ve always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs Li just smiles, so that you don’t feel completely stupid! 我总是不愿意犯错误或者在说英语时念错词。李老师只是笑笑，你就不会感到自己是个大笨蛋。

always强调 “一直是这样”。另外，be always doing 表示 “老是，老……”，多半表示责难,不满或表扬。如： He is always complaining about something. 他老是发牢骚。 He was always asking for money. 他老是要钱。 He is always helping others. 他总是喜欢帮助别人。

2) so that 在此处引导表示结果的状语 从句， 意为“因此，这样……就”。如： She is very careful, so that she seldom makes a mistake. 她非常细心，因此她很少犯错。 Nothing more was heard from him so that we began to wonder if he was dead. 再也没有听到他的消息，因此我们怀疑 他是否死了。

3）don’t feel completely stupid 并不觉得自己是个大笨蛋 don’t（否定词）和completely，all ， both， every， everyone， everything 等表示全部概念的词一起连用，表示的是部分否定，而非全部否定。 例如：All is not gold that glitters. =Not all that glitters is gold. 发光的并不都是金子。 Everybody wouldn’t like it. =Not everybody would like it. 并不是每个人都会喜欢它。
