【语音课·单词课】读个笑话轻松学单词！

周末了，先来看个小笑话，笑一笑，十年少！

Conduct and Courtesy

Father: The school report gives you a D for conduct and an A for courtesy. How did you manage that?

Tom: Whenever I punch someone, I apologize.

【参考译文】

品德与礼貌

父亲：学校的成绩单上给你的品德分是D，礼貌分是A，你这是怎么搞的？

汤姆：无论我什么时候打了人，过后我都会向人家道歉的。

这个笑话虽短，当中有不少重要的单词。

先来学两个名词：

conduct 行为

People will judge you by your conduct.

人们会根据你的行为评判你。

courtesy礼貌；谦恭

It’s only common courtesy to say thank you when others help you.

别人帮了你，说声谢谢不过是普通的礼貌。

再来学三个动词：

manage设法做到

We couldn't have managed without you.

如果没有你，我们是不可能做到的。

punch 用拳猛击

She punched him right on the nose.

她一拳打到他鼻子上。

apologize 道歉

我为没能去接你而道歉。

Now it's your time to open your mouth and follow me! 张开嘴巴跟着录音练起来！
