Module 4 Home alone 1. So am I, but I can’t miss two weeks of school. 我也是（很遗憾），但是我不能两周不上课。 So am I 承接上一句贝蒂妈妈说的话：… I’m sorry you can’t come with us, Betty. (……贝蒂，你不能和我们一起去，真遗憾），表示“我也很遗憾无法同行”。“So + be/助动词+ 主语”这一结构表示自己与前一个人的情况相同或同意前一个人的说法，意思是“……也这样”。例如： Joe was a little upset, and so was I. 乔有点儿不开心，我也有点儿。 He has been ill, and so has his wife. 他一直生着病，他妻子也一样。 Neil left just after midnight, and so did Jack. 尼尔一过午夜就走了，杰克也是。 2. Your train is about to leave. 您的火车要开了。 be about to do sth. 的意思是“就要 / 正要……”。例如： We were just about to leave when Jerry arrived. 杰里来的时候，我们正准备走。 She looked as if she was about to cry. 她看上去好像要哭了。 3. As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. 作为男孩，就像其他所有男孩一样，我想做个男子汉。 man 在此处意为“男子汉”。例如： Don’t cry anymore. Be a man! 别再哭了。要像个男子汉！ 4. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. 实际上，他们安排了我生活中的每一分钟。 此句中的 managed every minute 并不表示父母真的为郑晨宇安排好了每一分钟，而是一种夸张手法，表达郑晨宇不满父母管得太多。这里 manage 的意思是“安排；管理”。例如： Parents should not manage everything for their children. 父母不应该为孩子安排一切。 I manage my time well. 我把自己的时间安排得很好。 5. Now was my chance! 现在，我的机会来了！ 这个句子表现出作者兴奋而愉快的心情，强调父母外出后自己独自生活是他盼望已久的事情。 Module 4 Home alone 习题 一、单项选择：选择最佳答案完成句子。 1.
