16 Language points 1. Star signs星座 ★sign用作名词, 意为“星座”。如： A year is divided into 12 different star signs. 一年被分为十二个星座。 ★sign用作名词, 意为“记号”“符号”。如: “＋ － × ÷”are all maths signs. “＋ － × ÷”都是数学符号。

17 ★sign用在交通、饭店、商店等地方用来引起人们的注意或者提醒人们注意事宜，所以常解释为“告示”、“交通牌示（限速、弯路等）”、“招牌”、“店招”、“标牌”、“指示牌”。如：
Can you see the traffic signs beside the road? 你看见路边的交通牌示了吗？

18 ★sign也能作“手势”“信号”解。如：
Of course we cannot understand the sign-language on TV. 当然我们不懂电视里手语。 ★sign也可以作动词用, 表示“签名, 签字, 签署”。如： Did she sign the letter yesterday? 昨天她在信上签名了吗？

19 ★sign作动词用时, 还表示“示意、打手势”的意义。如：
　After we said good morning to our English teacher, he signed us to sit down. 我们向我们的英语老师问过好后, 他示意我们坐下来。 ★bring用作动词时, 有“提供”的意思。如：

20 2. It’s nice of you to bring me the newspaper, Hobo. 霍伯, 谢谢你给我拿来了报纸。

21 可以带两个宾语：一个是直接宾语,另一个是间接宾语, 即bring sb. sth.或bring sth. to sb.。如：
Don’t forget to bring her some flowers. 不要忘记给她带些花。

22 3. It says I’ll have lots to eat and drink today. 这上面说今天我有许多吃的和喝的。
★在当主语是书面材料或者可见的东西时, 如letter, notice等, say意为“写道”“显示”。如： The notice said “Keep out”. 告示上写着: “禁止入内”。

23 ★ say与talk, tell, speak用法的区别, say是个及物动词, 后面需要跟宾语, 强调说话的内容。如：
　Please say it in English. 请用英语说。 ★ talk作“说”“谈话”“讲话”解, 常被用作不及物动词。一般指非正式的、一般性的讲话或者谈话, 常和介词of/about构成短语使用。

24 如:I don’t understand what you are talking about. 我不明白你在说什么。
★ tell通常也用作及物动词。意为“说、讲、告诉”。Tell后往往跟双宾语。如： 　Could you tell us a story about your student life? 请给我们讲一个关于你学生生活的故事, 好吗？

25 ★speak意为“说/讲某种语言”或指在公共场所对一群人作较正式的“演讲、演说”。如：
　He can speak several foreign languages. 他能说几种语言。

26 4. Well, you shouldn’t worry about not having breakfast then
★这里having breakfast是动名词形式,作介词about的宾语。动名词是动词的非谓形式之一, 一般是在动词后面加“-ing”而成。在意义上, 动作性比较强, 但在句子中起名词的作用, 因此, 动名词或者动名词短语在句中主要作主语、表语、宾语或介词宾语。
