Grammar focus 语法
1. Come and meet our employees, Mr Richard. 来见见我们的雇员, 理查兹先生。
A. 表示要求、命令等意义的句子叫做祈使句。祈使句一律用动词原形开头，句末加上感叹号或句号，句子用降调。如：
Stop talking.
Let him in.
Take care not to wake her up.
B: 祈使句的否定形式是在开头加Don't，如：
Don't worry.
Don't eat in the classroom.
Don't talk to me like that.
C. 祈使句的开头或结尾也可以加上please，以使句子的语气更加缓和、客气。如：
Please come this way.
Open the door, please.
D. and的用法，一般表示和的意思，但在连接两个先后关联的动作时，不必翻译出来，如：
She stood up and went away.
Come and have some apples.
E. employee雇员=employ（雇用v.）+ee（名词后缀）组成；employer雇主（名词后缀er表示动作的发出者，名词后缀ee表示动作的接受者。）类似的还有：
trainee培训对象，trainer培训师；
interviewee去面试的人，interviewer面试官；
2. This is Nicola Grey, and this is Claire Taylor. 这位是尼古拉·格雷，这位是克莱尔·泰勒。
本句中This is表示要介绍的对象就在身边，这个说法更礼貌亲切一些。 而He is或者She is表示要介绍的对象不在身边。
3. How do you do? 你们好！
用于比较正式的场合，其回答也是How do you do? 相当于中文中的你好。
4. Those women are very hard-working. What are their jobs? They're keyboard operators. 那些姑娘很勤快。她们是做什么工作的？她们是电脑录入人员。
hard-working 勤奋的，是复合形容词；类似的还有good-looking, easy-going, out-going等。
询问他们的工作，可以说What are their jobs？还可以说What do they do？
5. Who is this young man？这个年轻人是谁？
这是一个由who 引导的特殊疑问句，是对主语进行提问，如：
Who broke the window？
（对主语提问）谁打破了窗户？
