新概念英语第二册 Lesson 40
练习材料（每天自己打写一遍熟悉文章）：
Lesson forty, Food and talk. First listen and then answer the question: was Mrs. Rumbold a good companion at dinner?
[ˈlɛsən] [ˈfɔrti], [fud] [ənd] [tɔk]. [fɜrst] [ˈlɪsən] [ənd] [ðɛn] [ˈænsər] [ðə] [ˈkwɛsʧən]: [wəz] [ˈmɪsɪz]. [ˈrʌmˌboʊld] [ə] [gʊd] [kəmˈpænjən] [ət] [ˈdɪnər]?
Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, umsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
"A new play is coming to 'The Globe' soon," I said. "Will you be seeing it?" "No," she answered.
"Will you be staying in England?" I asked. "No," she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
"Young man," she answered, "if you ate more and talked less, we should both enjoy our dinner!"

知识笔记：
单词/词组：
- The Globe, "环球剧院“
环球剧场（Globe Theatre）位于英国伦敦，最初的环球剧场由威廉·莎士比亚所在宫内大臣剧团于1599年建造，1613年6月29日毁于火灾。1614年环球剧场重建，并于1642年关闭。1997年，一座现代仿造的环球剧场落成，命名为“莎士比亚环球剧场”或“新环球剧场”，距离公园街（Park Street）的原址约205米远。
- hostess,
- a large, unsmiling lady
- be fixed on
fix
及物/不及物动词，(目光)专注于，凝视;目不转睛地看。eg: He fixes his eyes on a local building.
动词，将(注意力)集中在;专心考虑。eg: His attention is fixed on the stock market.
- make conversation
- will you be seeing it?
see vs watch
1. “看书”不可以说see a book，要说read a book。不过，匆匆看某本书一眼可以用see。
2. “看电视”和“看球赛”等变化进程，不能说*see TV或*see a football game，要说watch TV与watch a football game。这可能是因为电视镜头变换频繁，球赛更是瞬息万变，而see则是看比较固定的东西。而且，watch可以表示对“无头无尾”的过程“观看一段时间”，这个含义用于一天到晚轮番上节目的电视就比较合适。但如果是特定的一个节目，有头有尾看了，就不用watch而用see。因此，看电影用see，看电视则用watch，如果是电视当中的一个特定节目，或是球赛中一个特定事件，由于过程变化减弱了，也可以用see甚至只能用see。
- in despair,
朗读重点：
- enjoy, [ɛnˈʤɔɪɪŋ] / [ɪnˈʤɔɪɪŋ]

练习感悟：
Answer: No, Mrs. Rumbold would like to stay alone instead of being companied.
Thoughts: 每日精进就是确认自己的朗读首先自己挑不出问题了（朗读+复述）。
