Notes on the text 课文注释
Do you want beef or lamb?是选择疑问句,本句有两项选择,第一选择beef念升调,lamb则读降调。I like lamb, but my husband doesn't. 句中的doesn't后面省略了like lamb。用but连接的并列句,在后一分句中可以省略与前一分句中相同的谓语动词和宾语。To tell you the truth(或To tell the truth),意思是:“老实说”,“说实话”。I don't like chicken either.either当“也(不)”讲,用在否定句中。肯定句和疑问句中可用too,在第7课和第31课中已出现这样的句子。
