一、经典句型
1. I am fit.
2. I don't feel well today.
3. I've got a cold.
4. What's bothering you?
5. Do you have medical insurance?
6. I went to see my doctor for a checkup.
7. What did the doctor say?
8. The doctor said I'm a little overweight.
9. The doctor advised me to get plenty of exercise. And I took his advice.
10. He told me to take these pills every four hours.
11. The physician gave me a chest X-ray and took my temperature.
12. It's just a mosquito bite, nothing to worry about.
13. My doctor put me ona low-fat diet.

16. Frank is in the hospital. He had an operation last night.
17. I took a sick leave yesterday.
18. I feel chilly.
19. I'll have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow.
20. AIDS has become a worldwide problem.
I've got a cold.
表示“我得了什么病”常用的口语句型就是 I've got …. 例如:I've got a bad cold. I've got a fever. I've got a flu. I've got a headache. I've got a toothache. 还有,He's got a sore throat.(他喉咙疼。)如果美国人告诉你 My head is killing me.意思是“我的头疼得要命” 。用身体的某一个部位加上 be killing me.就可以表示“某个部位疼得很厉害”。例如:My back is killing me. My stomach is killing me. My legs are killing me.
What's bothering you?
到了医院,医生肯定问你“那里不舒服?”用英语表达就是上面的这个句子,bother 用做动词的意思是“使痛苦、难受” 。问他人的健康状况或是医生询问你的身体状况时会用到其它句型还有:
What's the matter with you?
What's wrong with you?
What's the problem?
What's troubling you?
Do you have medical insurance?
美国的医疗费高得吓人,医疗保险对于在美国生存的人十分重要。一般来说,对于没有医疗保险的人,大部分医院不愿意接受,美国有限的福利医院里总是人满为患。到了美国,最重要的一件事就是购买医疗保险。有医疗保险以后,你在有需要的情况下,就可以很轻松地联络自己的医生进行体检或看病了。否则,你要找医生,即使是非常小的不舒服,也会花费上百美金;如果是稍微严重一些的疾病,就要花上成千上万了。
美国的医疗保险费用,1/3 以上是由联邦政府从普通税收中拨付,其余部分则由够年龄的人自己按月交纳保险金,只不过这种保险费要少一些。领取养老金的人每月保险费从养老金中扣除。有人常常闹牙疼,虽然知道在美加看医生很贵,但在国外的工作单位已经为他买了医疗保险,是否还有必要在国内事先看好牙疾?美国的普通医疗保险范围有很大的限制,并不包括牙齿和车祸等等,看牙医还得另买保险。留学生中不少人出国后才生智齿,弄不好就要去拔牙,多数情况下都是几百元。镶牙和补牙就更贵,上千元是常有的事。由于看牙非一日之功,所以在出国前一段时间,就要抽出时间安排牙医了。总之,建议计划出国一年以上者,在出国前,利用出国体检的机会或者自己安排作一次全面的健康检查很有必要。
二、佳句赏析
Seeing the Doctor 看医生
1.情景会话
(David goes to the nurse's desk with a very painful look on his face.)
Nurse: What can I do for you?
David: I have a bad headache.
Nurse: Are you running a fever?
David: Yeah, I think so.
Nurse: Please follow me to see Dr. Smith.
(In Dr. Smith's office.)
Dr. Smith: What's bothering you?
David: I think I've got a cold, maybe it's a fever.
Dr. Smith: When do you think you got it?
Dr. Smith: OK. Let me check. Open your mouth and say “ah”.
[Dr. Smith takes his temperature.]
Dr. Smith: OK, take it easy, it's just a cold.
David: Do I have to take any medicine?
Dr. Smith: Just take some antibiotics and make sure you drink lots of water.
David: Thank you. I feel better already.
2.对话要点分析
1.) What can I do for you?
这是服务行业人员常常问顾客的一句话,就是“我能为你做些什么吗?” ,也可以用‘May I
help you?’这个句子,这个时候的回答就是 Yes, please. 或者 No, thanks。
2.) Are you running a fever?
“你是在发烧吗?” Run a fever 的意思就是“发烧” 。
3.) When did you think you got it?
“你想是什么时候得的这病呢?”我们说“患上(某种疾病) ” ,一般用 get 这个动词。
4.) Take it easy
这是用来安慰别人的一个常用口语短句,意思是“别着急” , “慢慢来” 。在朋友遭受挫折,
遇到困难的时候,都可以用它来表达自己的同情。
5.) Just take some antibiotics and make sure you drink lots of water.
Antibiotics 是用来消炎的“抗生素” ,例如:penicillin“青霉素” 。Make sure是“确
保去作某件事情” , 例如医生会对病人说: Make sure you have a good rest. Make sure you brush
your teeth carefully. Make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruits.

Druggist: Rub this cream on every four hours.
2.)
William : I'd like to have this prescription filled.
Druggist: I'll take care of it right away.
William : By the way, what do you suggest for insect bites?

2.对话要点分析
1.) Could you fill this prescription for me, please?
到了药店,我们会问“你能帮我配一下处方上的药吗?”
2.) Have you got something for chapped lips?
Chapped lips 是“干裂的嘴唇” ,这儿是问“你们这儿有嘴唇干裂的药吗?”
3.) Rub this creamon every four hours.
Cream在医药英语中是指“外用药膏” ,涂抹药膏用 rub 这个词。
4.) This ointment should help.
Ointment 是“油脂类药膏” ,这句话里 help的是“能起治疗效果” 。
Asking About Health 问候健康
1.情景会话
1.)
Jackie: How's your father been?
Cathy : He's been out of work for a couple of days.
Jackie: What's wrong with him?
Cathy : He has got a bad cold.
Jackie: Well, tell him to take it easy and that I hope he feels better.
Cathy : Thanks. I'll tell him.
2.)
Richard: How's your brother doing?
Linda: As a matter of fact, he hasn't been feeling too well.
Richard: Sorry to hear that. What's the matter?
Linda: He has a slight fever.
Richard: Tell him I hope he's better soon.
Linda: I'll tell him. Thanks for asking about him.
2.对话要点分析
1.) How's your father been?
“你父亲近来身体如何?”也可以稍微改动一下,How have you been?“你近来身体怎么样?”
2.) He's been out of work for a couple of days.
Out of work 最常用的意思是“失业” ,在本句中指“没有去上班” 。
3.) What's wrong with him?
What's wrong with sb.? 这个句型也可以用来询问别人患了什么病。
4.) How's your brother doing?
大家一定记得美国人见面打招呼常用Howare you doing? 在这里, 同样的句型变成了问别人身体状况是否良好。
5.) As a matter of fact, he hasn't been feeling too well.
As a matter of fact 和 in fact, actually的意思完全一样,都是指“事实上”。我们在前面学过,“身体不舒服”是 sb. doesn't feel well.一般不用 feel good.
6.) Sorry to hear that. What's the matter?
听到朋友生病的消息,表示同情的短句是“听到这我很难过。 ”为了表示关切,可以接着再问一句“生什么病了?”可以说 What's the matter? 或 What's wrong?
7.) He has a slight fever.
Slight 是“轻微的” , “低烧”也可以说 low fever.

第九单元 Interests &Hobbies
一、经典句型
1. My hobby is collecting stamps. What's your hobby?
2. Some people like riding horse, but I prefer golfing.
3. Writing is just an avocation with me.
4. It's relaxing and takes my mind off my work.

13. 1Our family went camping last week. So we bought a new tent.
14. I'm a big movie fan.
15. I like to play tennis, but I'm not a very good player.
16. What's on after the news? Do you have a TV guide?
17. We played soccer this afternoon. The score was tied six to six.
18. My muscles are sore from playing tennis for four hours.
19. In my spare time, I read.
20. I went to a boxing match last night. It was wonderful!
My hobby is collecting stamps. What's your hobby?
要和别人谈论爱好,自然要告诉对方你自己的爱好是什么。通常我们用 My hobby is doing sth.这个句型来表示。在告诉别人你的爱好之后,你还要问别人, “你的爱好是什么?”只要把这两个句型掌握好了,就能够和美国人引起关于爱好的话题。
当然,还可以问对方,“Do you have a hobby?”“你有什么爱好吗?”在自己被问到有什么爱好时,自然也可以使用My hobby is doing sth.来回答。
Some people like fishing, but I prefer hunting.
有时为了显示自己和别人的不同,也可以使用 Some people like doing sth., but I prefer doing another thing. “有人喜欢……,但我更加爱好……”这个句型来表述。
例如: Some people like reading, but I prefer watching TV.
Some people like skating, but I prefer skiing.
Some people like tea, but I prefer coffee.
Some people prefer bridge (桥牌),but I prefer Mah-jong (麻将).
我们在口语中用到 prefer 这个词的时候还可以用上一个句型:I prefer A to B, 既“我喜欢 A 胜于 B”。
例如:I prefer novels to movies.
I prefer CDs to tapes.
I prefer Chinese food to western food.
Writing is jut an avocation for me.
这句话的意思是“写作只是我的一项业余爱好而已。 ”avocation是一个比较正式的词语,它的意思其实就是相当于 hobby 或 interest. 这里的 writing这个词是动名词。 动名词在英语口语中常常用来做句子的主语,有不少经典的句子就是来源于它的。比如说:
Finding a good job is not easy these days.
“如今找到一份好工作是不太容易的。 ”
Driving is very exciting.
“驾驶非常刺激。 ”
Asking a lady's age is impolite in many countries.
“在许多国家,问女士的年龄是不礼貌的。 ”
Lying is a bad habit.
“撒谎是一个坏习惯。 ”
Smoking is harmful to health.
“吸烟有害健康。 ”
It's relaxing and takes my mind off my work.
Relaxing 这个词的意思是“使人放松的” 。Take one's mind off“把注意力从……上转移开” 。如果你的爱好是 fishing,别人问道“Why do you like fishing?”你就可以立刻脱口而出这个句子,即简单又快捷。
I play the piano for my own enjoyment.
我们汉语里常说到“自娱自乐” ,在英语里面的对应短语就是 for my own enjoyment. 这个短语的用途非常广泛,通常我们在谈论到爱好的时候,都可以用上这个短语。
例如:I played the guitar for my own enjoyment.
I make clothes for my own enjoyment.
I practice handwriting for my own enjoyment.
He plays the violin for his own enjoyment.
She paints pictures for her own enjoyment.
I'm not a professional. I paint pictures for the fun of it.
Professional 这个词的意思“专业人员” 。在美国,如果说到一个人是 professional 的话,不但是指他是专门做某一行的,还指他有很高的专业技能,就类似于“行家/ 专家” 。
For the fun of it 这个短语的意思是“为了好玩/为了取乐” 。在谈论到兴趣爱好时,也
常常可以用上这个短语。
例如:I play soccer for the fun of it.
Jane plays violin for the fun of it.
We practice handwriting for the fun of it.
I've always thought golf is a good hobby, but it's too expensive.
I've always thought……的意思是“我一直认为……”我们用这个句型可以造出很多非常有用的句子来,比如,说到北京的天气,我们可以讲:
I've always thought fall is the best season in Beijing, but it's too short.
I've always thought traveling is a nice hobby, but it costs too much money.
I started a new hobby. I'm tired of playing bridge.
请注意这个句子里的 start 这个动词,我们如果要表达“开一家公司” ,一般也说成 start a company. Be tire of doing sth.的意思是“厌倦于做某事” 。
例如,I am tired of watching TV every day.
I am tired of studying day and night.
I am tired of working as a salesman.
We are crazy about Rock and Roll.
Be crazy about sth./sb.这个短语的意思是“痴迷于某物或某人” 。Crazy 是一个非常动感的单词,它的原意是“发疯,疯狂” ,在口语中常来表达“狂热爱好的,神魂颠倒的” 。如果你特别喜欢某物,或是对某人爱慕有加,就可以用上这个句型。
例如: I am crazy about the Internet.
I am crazy about learning English.
I am crazy about collecting coins.
I am crazy about playing chess.
I am crazy about horror movies.
I am crazy about making money.
I am crazy about you.( “我爱你爱得发了狂,发了狂。) ”Rock and Roll 就是“摇滚乐”,摇滚乐产生于 50 年代末期。当时美国一些青年消沉苦闷,心灰意冷,为了发泄这种情绪,摇滚乐便应运而生。它实际上是美国青年表示叛逆的一种音乐,由爵土乐派生而来,曲调变化较小, 歌声粗犷,伴有节奏强烈的敲击。音乐风格热情奔放, 毫无顾忌地发泄个人的情感,甚至达到如痴如狂的地步。摇滚乐是一种无拘无束、自由表达情感的艺术表现形式。演唱者大多自编自唱,其主题可以是严肃的,表达美国青年的迷惘与孤独以及对美好生活的向往。今天,摇滚乐已成为美国人生活中的一个组成部分。可以说它是一面镜子,反映着美国人的心理状态和感情变化。而“爵士乐”Jazz 是最早出现的具有美国特色的音乐。和以前所有的音乐不同,它是演奏者根据某种规定的和声与节奏,对某个旋律进行变奏。但到 20 世纪后,连这个定义也被它自己的发展所突破。 爵土乐中最主要的一种是布鲁斯音乐, 它的节奏极强,产生于 20 世纪初,由演奏者即兴弹奏,表现不同的情调;它有着长久的生命力,经各家各派之手,仍葆有原来的特色,一直受到人们的喜爱。
评论
My favorite sport is baseball. What's your favorite?
我们在口语中要表达 “我非常喜欢某物” 的时候, 可以用到一个非常到位的词, 就是 favorite.
例如,My favorite music is pop and jazz.
My favorite singer is Michael Jackson.
My favorite movie is a love story.
My favorite magazine is Time.
My favorite sport is skating.
在说出自己的爱好之后,如果要问对方的喜好,就可以用上固定句式What's your favorite?
意思就是“你喜欢的是什么?”当然,在这个句型的末尾,还可以加上具体的名词。
例如:What's you favorite music?
Do you likejazz?
再如:What's you favorite movie?
Do you care for Kongfu movies?
当然,说到喜欢的人,句型就应该改为Who's your favorite?
比如:--Who is your favorite musician?--I like Beethoven best.
--Who's your favorite actor?--I love Tom Hanks.
说起 baseball(棒球),它是美国最具普遍性的体育项目之一,被称作美国的“国球”。今天棒球已成为美国男女老幼生活中不可缺少的一部分。 不仅大、 中学校的校队和职业球队打棒球,就连孩子们也热衷于它。棒球属于观看项目,由运动员比赛,所以棒球运动员、特别是职业棒球运动员在美国人的日常生活中扮演着十分重要的角色。职业队员的平均年工资约为 18万美元。1981 年夏季发生了一次席卷全美的棒球运动员大罢工,使赛场附近的酒吧间和饭馆大大亏本,有些俱乐部业主在罢工的第一个周末就损失了 25 万美元。可见棒球运动在美国影响之大。目前美国约有 l000 万人打棒球,职业棒球运动员有 3000 多人,青少年棒球队有 8.5 万多个。棒球运动场星罗棋布,其中最大的俄亥俄州克利夫兰市体育运动场,能容纳近 7.7 万名观众。
I like fishing and swimming, but I don't like skating.
每个人都有喜欢和不喜欢的东西,所以我们应该掌握一个常用的句型,即‘I like …, but I don't like…'“我喜欢……,但我不喜欢……” 。需要注意的是 like后面一般是接名词或是动名词。
例如:I like reading books, but I don't like watching TV.
I like jogging, but I don't like lifting weights.
I like classical music, but I don't like pop and jazz.
美国人最喜欢的业余活动也许要数体育活动了。他们把大量业余时间用于体育运动, 这也是美国人的传统。早期移民登上美洲大陆时,这里还是蛮荒之地,为了生存,他们便要下海捕鱼,上山打猎。在同大自然的搏斗中,他们掌握了爬山越野、游泳划船等种种谋生技能。从那时起,运动便和美国人结下了不解之缘。在美国,最受欢迎的运动项目是棒球、篮球、橄榄球、冰球、滑雪、游泳、打猎和钓鱼等。无论哪一种项目都吸引着数以万计的美国爱好者。不计其数的人在家中通过电视观看各种体育比赛。 这些坐室观战的球迷,侠肠热情丝毫不比体育馆看台上的观众逊色。据统计,美国每年冬季约有 720 万人参加滑雪运动;亲临球场观看棒球比赛的达 4000万人;大学橄榄球比赛也能吸引 3000 万观众;在各种场合下观看篮球比赛的竟达 l.4 亿人之多;此外,美国政府每年还发放 5500 万张狩猎和捕鱼特许证。(按规定,无特许证者不得狩猪或捕鱼。)
When you play football, what position do you play?
许多美国人都热衷于运动,如果是和他们闲聊的话,体育常常会是一个非常有趣的话题,当对方告诉你他所喜欢的体育运动时,如果是集体项目,如 football, basketball, baseball 等,你可以顺势问他一句 “你打的是什么位置?” 这样他就会侃侃道来, 和你谈起他的 “光辉历史” ,呵呵,这时你就不用愁没什么好聊的啦。注意在美国英语中,football 是指“美式橄榄球” ,而足球则是 soccer. 在集体项目中,前锋是 striker, 中场是 mid-field, 后卫 defender, 守门员是 goal-keeper. Football(橄榄球)是美国最流行的运动之一,几乎所有的主要城市里都有职业橄榄球队。这些职业队员差不多全是原大专院校球队的主力。美国不少大专院校非常重视发展橄榄球运动, 它们常常用提供奖学金和给予免费食宿的办法鼓励中学生中的优秀橄榄球队员入校。许多大专院校的运动费用仅靠出售橄榄球票便可完全赚回来。70 年代以来,每年都有 600 多个一流大学队在频繁的全国大学联赛中争夺桂冠, 其高潮是在各大城市举行的赛季后比赛; “玫瑰体育场”赛、 “糖体育场”赛、 “棉花体育场”赛、 “柑桔体育场”赛等都久负盛名,极具吸引力。
Our family went camping last week. So we bought a new tent.
我们通常可以在 go 后面加上一个动名词,来表示“进行某项运动” ,比如: go fishing, go swimming, go boating, go jogging, go hiking, go skating, go skiing, go shaping等等。 Tent 就是露营时用到的帐篷。 如果要出去旅行, 我们得买双旅游鞋, 注意在英语里面不是 travel shoes, 而是用 sneakers 这个词语。如果要游泳,我们得有游泳裤或泳衣,它们分别是 swimming trunk和 swim suit. 欧美女士为了凸现身材,往往在游泳时穿比基尼,这是个音译词,英语原词就是 bikini.美国人非常热爱体育运动,因此运动也自然成为美国人最经常的话题之一。几乎在所有的社交集会--舞会、茶会、鸡尾酒会上,人们都要围绕体育活动天南海北地聊上一通。 比如谈起正在走红的运动员,猜测下届运动会谁有可能拿冠军,或者讨论哪种钓鱼杆值得一买。所以到美国去的人随时随地都可能被卷进这样的谈话。
I'm big movie fan.
Fan的意思就是指 “痴迷某物或明星的人” , movie fan 即 “电影迷” , 其他还有 jazz fan, soccer fan, pop fan等等。在现代美国口语中,也用 junkie来表示 fan的意思,很多美国人都自诩为 movie junkie, 即“看电影上瘾的人” 。美国人常被称为 M&M people, 两个 M 所代表的分别是 mall(购物)和 movie, 这道出了美国人业余的两大爱好。电影按照内容大概可以分为:action movie (动作片), horror movie (恐怖片) , love story (爱情片) , adventure story (冒险片) ,science fiction(科幻片)。
全世界最著名的电影奖是奥斯卡金像奖。奥斯卡主要奖项包括:最佳影片奖、最佳导演奖、最佳男主角、最佳女主角、 最佳男配角、最佳女配角、 最佳外语片奖、最佳摄影奖、最佳特殊效果奖、最佳音效奖、最佳配乐奖。(Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography, Best Special Effects, Best Sound, Best Musical Score. Etc.)奥斯卡是自1927年起美国电影艺术科学院颁给有出色表现的电影演员、艺术家、导演、摄影师和技术人员的 年度奖。
I like to play tennis, but I'm not a very good player.在这里 player 的意思不是“选手” ,而是“进行某项运动的人” ,I'm not a good player 的意思就是“我打得不算好” ,如果是把 not 去掉,意思就是说擅长于某项运动了。
例如:John loves playing soccer, and he is a very good player.
如果说“擅长于某物” ,也可以用到 be good at 这个短语。
例如:Jane is good at playing badminton. My dad is very good at fishing.
What's on after the news? Do you have a TV guide?
What's on?这个句型虽然看似简单,但是我们千万不能小看了它。如果要问“电视上放什么节目?” 就可以立刻用到它了。 在这个句型的末尾可以用到各种时间状语。 如: What's on this evening?
What's on tomorrow?
What's on at the weekend?
过春节前, 你一定还会问, “春节期间有什么电视节目呀?” 用英语来说就是What's on during the Spring Festival? 所谓 TV guide,就是告诉观众电视节目安排的刊物,相当于中国人熟知的电视报。当然,随着 Internet 的普及,我们都可以方便地在电视台的网站上找到电视节目表。电视在美国人的生活中起着极其重要的作用;美国的电视台从清晨到深夜不停地播放形形色色的电视节目。电视使得美国人对于历史、艺术、现代科学的新发现和宇宙奥秘有了新的和更深切的了解,还能起到沟通美国人民与政府之间联系的作用。不仅如此,《芝麻街》和《电气公司》等电视节目,还帮助整整一代美国人学会了读书写字。 “芝麻街”是儿童教育连续节目,用发生在“芝麻衔”上的故事教 3-7 岁儿童数数,识字,了解家庭、卫生等各方面的知识。美国人称这种节目为“电视保姆”,大人有事时就让孩子坐在电视机前专心看这个节目。
We played a soccer game this afternoon. The score was tied six to six.
我们说到体育比赛,一般比较少用 match, 而是多用 game. “打一场比赛”所用到的动词用play. 比赛的比分是用score, 一般不用 mark. 如果是比分是平分,那么就用 be tied 这个短语,例如:The score was tied 2 to 2. 有时我们在表述比分是 2 比 0,那么用英文怎么说呢?我们一般用 nothing来表示比分中的 0,所以 2 比 0就是 ‘two to nothing’.
I My muscles are sore from playing tennis for four hours.
Sore的意思是“酸疼” ,而不是生病时说到的ache
例如:My throat is sore. My arms are sore from playing bowling.
My legs are sore from playing basketball.
Muscle就是指人的肌肉,我们在电影上看到的动作明星可以被称作是 muscleman (壮汉),如果是 musclewoman则是指“悍妇” 。
In my spare time, I read a lot.
“业余时间”可以说成是 spare time或是 free time. A lot 的意思是“很多”,read a lot 意思是“读很多书”,play a lot 则是“玩得很疯”,enjoy a lot“很享受”,
例如:Every time I hear a symphony orchestra, I always enjoy a lot.
美国人喜欢慢跑,所以他们也会对你说,In my spare time, I jog a lot. 在美国的校园内随处可见跑步的人, 有趣的是这些人当中女生远多过男生。(大约十个人当中有八个是女孩子。)还有一个奇怪的现象让人很不解, 他们跑步的时候很喜欢听随身听, 甚至有人发明一种随身听可以直接绑在手臂上。 这种现象在健身房也不例外, 很多人就是一边使用跑步机一边听音乐的. 奇怪, 要听音乐什么时候不好听, 非得要在跑步的时候听? 这就是美国人的怪癖,或许是快节奏的音乐能让她们觉得更加有劲, 而且运动起来也不会那么无聊吧!
I went to a boxing match last night. It was wonderful!
我们在口语中说到参加某个活动时,总是在踌躇——到底用 join还是 take part in? 结果往往还是用错词。那么我们就不妨用一个口语化的短语, 就是 go to.
拳击比赛一般不用 game而是用 match。
对于一个比赛的评价,如果是“棒极了” ,可以说 wonderful, great, amazing.
如果是“比赛糟糕透了” ,就可以用 lousy, terrible, bad等形容词。
如果上“一般” ,那么就是Just so so.
要是想表达“势均力敌” ,可以说 It's a close game.

我们一直认为这是辆好车,但它太昂贵了。
四、身临其境
2.谈论电影好坏 Commenting on the Movie
Will: Jane, 你喜欢这部电影吗?
Jane: It's a well-made movie. I like it a lot.你喜欢的什么类型的电影?
Will: I like action movies and love stories. “Love Story” is one of the movies I like best.
Jane: “Love Story” was a great hit in the 60's. Did you see the movie “Hard Target”?
Will: 我觉得这部电影一般。
Jane: 我不这么认为。The plot's quite simple, but it has got a great theme. By the way, 你喜欢的影星是谁?
Will: I think Vivien Leigh is a fantastic actress. And Tom Hanks, the Oscar for Best Actor was my favorite actor. 在我看来《阿甘正传》是一部非常棒的电影,汤姆•汉克斯在里面演得好极了。
3.去电影院 (Go to the Cinema)
