课文详注 Further notes on the text
1．Good morning．早上好。
英语中常见的问候用句。对此问候的回应一般也是Good morning。根据一天中见面时间的不同还可以说Good afternoon （下午好）和 Good evening（晚上好）。有时英美人见面时只简单地说一声Hello。
2．This is Miss Sophie Dupont．这位是索菲娅·杜邦小姐。
This is+姓名是将某人介绍给他人时常用的句式。课文中的例子还有：
Sophie, this is Hans. 索菲娅，这位是汉斯。
And this is Naoko. 这位是直子。
3．Mr． Blake／Miss Sophie Dupont，布莱克先生／索菲娅·杜邦 小姐。
英语国家中人的姓名通常由3部分组成，即：名+中间名+姓。
在一般情况下，不用中间名。在熟悉的人中间，以名相称，而在正式的场合中常用 Mr．（先生），Mrs．（太太），Miss（小姐）或Ms．（女士）这些称呼再加上姓。
Mr．用于男士的姓之前，不能单独使用，如课文中的 Mr．Blake；而sir 一般单独使用，是对长者、上司或男顾客的尊称，如：
Sorry, sir. 对不起，先生。
Miss 一般用于指未婚女子，不过有时在不知道对方是否已婚时也可使用。
4．Nice to meet you．很高兴见到你。
用于初次与他人见面等非正式场合。对方的回应一般应为Nice to meet you，too（我也很高兴见到你）。
人们在正式的场合初次见面时常用：How do you do？相应的回答也是：How do you do？这是一句问候语，并非问话。
5．国籍与国家名称有别
请不要将国家名称和与其对应的国籍搞混。课文的 French，German，Japanese，Korean以及Chinese都是表示国籍的词。句中表示中国国籍的词应为 Chinese 而不是 China。
语法 Grammar in use
1．特殊疑问句
以疑问词 who，what，when，which，why，where，whose，how 等引导的问句都叫特殊疑问句，也叫疑问词疑问句，有时还被称为 wh-问句（wh-question）。结构一般为：疑问词+助动词+主语+主动词等。作为疑问词的what可以用来询问名字、国籍、工作、颜色、型号等。例如以下几个问句：
What make is this car? 这辆小汽车是什么牌子的？
What nationality are you? 你是哪国人？
What is your job? 你的工作是干什么？
What colour is it? 它是什么颜色的？
What size is this skirt? 这条裙子是多大号的？
2．a 和 an
Sophie is a new student. 索菲娅是一名新学生。
This is an umbrella. 这是一把雨伞。
这两个句子中出现的a／an在英语中被称为不定冠词。a和an在意义上没有区别。用a／an时，我们必须记住两条基本原则：
（1）a／an有不确定的意义（即所说的人、动物或东西对听者或读者来说可能是不知道的）。
（2）a／an只能用于单数可数名词之前。
此外还需注意a和an的发音：a（在平时讲话中发／+／音）用于辅音（不是辅音字母）之前；an（／+(／）用于元音（不仅仅是以元音字母a，e，i，o，u开头的词）之前。当我们把a或an用来说明字母表中的字母时，便会一目了然：
This is a B／C／D／G／J／K／P／Q／R／T／U／V／W／Y／Z．
这是一个 B／C／D／G／J／K／P／Q／R／T／U／V／W／Y／Z字母。
This is an A／E／F／H／I／L／M／N／O／S／X．
这是一个A／E／F／H／I／L／M／N／O／S／X字母。
