A new survey says an English person says “sorry” up to eight times a day. They say this word up to 2 ,920 times a year and 233,600 times in a lifetime.

   As a reporter,I went to London last month. While I was walking on the streets,a young man ran by,brushing against my handbag. He went on his way,but turned back and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush,he didn't forget to say “sorry”.

   The next day,I went shopping alone. After I bought some bread,the shopkeeper was passing me the change. But I wasn’t ready for it and a coin dropped onto the ground. “Sorry,Madam ,” he said. At the same time,he began to pick it up. I was surprised why he said “sorry” to me.

  After I went back to my hotel,I got to know that when something unpleasant happens in daily life,the English don't care much about who is wrong. Perhaps that is why English people hardly quarrel on the buses or streets.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題。

  1. How many times does an English person say the word “sorry” a day?


2. What happened to the writer when she went to London?

3. Why did the coin drop onto the ground?

4. Who did the writer think should say “sorry” when the coin dropped?

5. What does the writer think of English people according to the last paragraph?

最新研究表明：英國人平均每天說sorry的次數(shù)會(huì)達(dá)到 八次。作者用自己的親身經(jīng)歷講述了英國人講禮貌的故事。 

詳析

1. About eight times.由文章的第一句可知，一個(gè)英國人 每天說sorry這個(gè)詞會(huì)達(dá)到八次。

2. A young man ran by,brushing against her handbag.

由第二段的第二句可知，當(dāng)作者在倫敦的大街上行走時(shí)， 一個(gè)年輕人從她身邊經(jīng)過，輕擦了一下她的手提包。

3. Because the writer wasnH ready for it.由第三段的第三

句可知，由于作者沒有準(zhǔn)備好去接硬幣，所以硬幣掉在了 地上。

4. She thought she should say *4sorry" not the shopkeeper.

由第三段的最后一句可知，作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該道歉的是自己， 而不是那位店主。

5. They are polite/friendly.作者在第二、三段中舉例說明

了英國人養(yǎng)成了說sorry的好習(xí)慣，所以在最后一段作者 找到了英國人在公共汽車上或大街不爭(zhēng)吵的原因是：他 們很講禮貌、很友好。

brush v.輕擦 change n. 零錢

quarrel v.爭(zhēng)吵

障礙句分析

After I went back to my hotel,I got to know that when something unpleasant happens in daily life,the English don't care much about who is wrong.在我回到旅館之后，我才知道

曰常生活中當(dāng)不愉快的事情發(fā)生時(shí)，英國人不太注意是誰 的錯(cuò)。

這是一個(gè)含有時(shí)間狀語從句的復(fù)合句。在主句“I got to know... who is wrong” 中，“that when …who is wrong” 是賓 語從句，其中的when something. .. life是時(shí)間狀語從句，而 其后的who is wrong又是about的賓語從句。
