本课重点：找人时的提问和回答

A. Texts & Notes

1. Is Mr Jones there?

 在旅馆柜台，电话铃响了……
 Receptionist: Grand Hotel. Good morning. Can I help you?
 John: Yes. Is Mr Jones there, please?
 Receptionist: Mr Jones? No, he isn't here. I think he's at London Airport.

 接待员：（这是）大饭店。早上好。有什么事吗？
 约翰：请问琼斯先生在吗？
 接待员：琼斯先生？不在，他不在这儿。我想他在伦敦机场。

 Receptionist: Good morning.
 Sam: Good morning. Can you help me? Is Miss Brown here -- at the Hotel?
 Receptionist: Miss Brown? Yes, she's here, Room 301.

 接待员：早上好。
 山姆：早上好。能帮个忙吗？布朗小姐在这个饭店吗？
 接待员：布朗小姐？对了，她在这里，在301房间。

 注1. 约翰打电话问琼斯在不在旅馆，因而用 there: Is Mr Jones there? 而山姆是当面问布朗在不在这里，因而用 here: Is Miss Brown here?
 注2. at London Airport（在伦敦机场），at是介词，表明地点，基本意思是在某处，如：at the hotel （在旅馆）；at the cinema（在电影院）；at home（在家）；at school（在学校）；at work（在工作）等。 at 有时也包含着“从事”的意思，如：at school 指“上学”，at work 指“上班”。注例子中有的用冠词 the，有的不用。

2. Is Miss Brown in?

 在旅馆柜台，有人来访……
 Visitor: Is Miss Brown in, please?
 Receptionist: I don't know, madam. Jast a moment, please. I'm sorry. She isn't in her room.
 Visitor: Thank you.

 来访者：请问布朗小姐在吗？
 接待员：我不知道，夫人。请等一下。对不起，她不在她的房间里。
 来访者：谢谢你。

 Man: Mr and Mis White, please.
 Receptionist: Mr and Mis White are in the hotel. But they aren't in their room. I think.
 Man: Are they in the bar?
 Receptionist: Ah, yes. Mr and Mis White are in the bar.
 Man: Are they in the bar?
 Receptionist: Ah, yes. Mr and Mrs White are in the bar.
 Man: Where's the bar?
 Receptionist: It's over there.
 Man: thank you.

 男子：我找怀特先生和夫人。
 接待员：怀特先生和夫人在这旅馆，但他们不在他们的房间里。我想。
 男子：他们在酒吧间吗？
 接待员：啊，对了。怀特先生和夫人在酒吧间。
 男子：酒吧间在哪里？
 接待员：在那边。
 男子：谢谢你。

 Visitor: Is Mr Black in the hotel?
 Receptionist: Yes. I think Mr Black's in his room.
 （为来访者拨通电话）
 Visitor: Thank you. （打电话）Ah, Mr Black? Oh. He's not there. （对接线员）He's not in his room. Where is he?
 Receptionist: I don't know. Oh, yes. He's gone to the cinema. Yes. He's at the cinema.

 来访者：布莱克先生在这旅馆吗？
 接待员：在。我想布莱克先生在他房间里。
 来访者：谢谢你。（打电话）是布莱克先生吗？喔。他不在。（对接线员）他不在他的房间里。他在哪儿呢？
 接待员：我不知道。喔。对了，他去看电影了。是的。他在电影院。

 注3. 无论打电话或当面问某人在不在都可以用 Is … in? 回答时，如在就说 Yes, He's in. 或 Yes, he is. 如不在说 No, he isn't. 或 No, he's not.
 注4.系动词 to be 的否定省略形式如下：
 I am not => I'm not
 you are not => you're not => you aren't
 he is not => he's not => he isn't
 she is not => she's not => she isn't
 it is not => it's not => it isn't
 we are not => we're not => we aren't
 you are not => you're not => you aren't
 they are not => they're not => they aren't
 注5. in 是介词，表示地点，其基本意思是：在……里面，有时包含着“处于某种状态”的意思。
 in the hotel 在旅馆（没有出去）
 in his room 在他房间
 in bed 在床上（睡觉）
 in town 在城里
 in hospital 在医院里（住院）
介词是比较难学的词类，请注意与有关名词联系起来记住它的用法和意思，同时注意有无定冠词 the。
 注6. 找人有两种问法：
 Is he here? （他在这里吗？）这是一般疑问句，回答用 Yes 或 No.
 Where is he? （ 他在哪里？）这是特殊疑问句，不能回答 Yes. 或 No. 面要说出究竟在何处。
 注7. He's gone to … He has gone to … 是现在完成时态，表示已经到某处去了，现在不在这里。
 He's gont to work. （他上班去了。）He's gone to England. （他到英国去了。）
比较He's at work. （他在工作。）He's in England. （他在英国。）

3. Where's Bob?

 Receptionist: Where's Bob? Bob, where you?
 Bob: London.
 Receptionist: Where in London.
 Bob: I'm in South Street.
 Receptionist: Where's Mr Jones?
 Bob: He's in his office.
 Receptionist: In his office?
 Bob: Yes. He's gone to his office. He's gone to work. He's at work.
 Receptionist: Bob, where are you now?
 Bob: I'm in South Street. Then at Victoria Station.
 Receptionist: Yes.
 Bob: Then at the Tower of London. Then at Buckingham Palace. Then at London Airport.
 Receptionist: Then where?
 Bob: Home.

 接待员：鲍勃在哪里？鲍勃，你在哪里？
 鲍勃：伦敦。
 接待员：伦敦什么地方？
 鲍勃：我在南街。
 接待员：琼斯先生在什么地方？
 鲍勃：在他办公室里。
 接待员：在他办公室？
 鲍勃：对了。他到他办公室去了。他去上班了。他在上班。
 接待员：鲍勃，你现在在哪里？
 鲍勃：我在南街。然后到维多利亚车站。
 接待员：嗯。
 鲍勃：然后到伦敦塔。然后到白金汉宫。然后到伦敦机场。
 接待员：然后到哪里？
 鲍勃：回家。

 注8.维多利亚车站是伦敦最大的火车站，伦敦塔是伦敦最著名的古堡，现为游览圣地。白金汉宫是在伦敦的英国王宫。
 注9.in 和 at 均可用来指在某处，用于较大的范围，如国家、城市、街名等用 in ，用于某一具体的地点，如机场、学校、车站等用 at 。如：
 in England; in Beijing; in South Street
 at London Airport; at the station; at Sam's
in 和 at 在概念上的基本区别是：in 强调在……中、在……内； at 则指在一个点上。
 注10. at his girlfriend's = at his girlfrien's house，一般省略 house 用 at -'s 表示在谁家。如：
 at his friend's （在他朋友家里）
 at Mr White's （在怀特先生家里）
 at my brother's （在我哥哥家里）
