这篇文章标题翻译得简直不能更好了！No wrong numbers. 无错号之虞 意思是不用担心有错误的号码出现。虞 “忧虑、顾虑”之意，无冻馁之虞（无需担心受冻）。

语言之间的魅力就在这微妙的地方，翻译之处，殊途同归。深信不疑《新概念英语》是一本好教材！哈哈~

课后&练习

  1. Mr. Soctt cannot get a telephone for his garage. That’s why he has just bought twelve pigeons.
    That is … 后面是 表语，引导一个表语从句，这时that后面常用特殊疑问词

    I was caught in the traffic jam. That’s why I am late.
    That’s when we start class. 那就是我们开始上课的时候.

  2. Mr. Soctt has a garage in Pinhurst. His __ garage is in Sibury.

    an/a/the. 是冠词
    his / her / my… 形容词性物主代词
    xx’s 名词所有格

    another 可以看成 an + other

  • 在语法上，以上三种词性一般不放在一起用，所以这里用another是 ≈ 错的！

  • 另外一个角度，another 强调三个及以上。Soctt 只有两个garage.

  • other + 单数：表示一个
