在醫(yī)院里，Molly護(hù)士在陪幾個(gè)快要做手術(shù)的孩子玩猜啞謎的游戲，只有Carl沒有參加。其他孩子們都玩得很起勁。

    Molly： OK. Do you know how to play charades？

    Molly： Frank， you've never played charades？

    Frank： Nope. Molly： Carl， you're sure you're never played？ [Carl shakes his head.] Molly： Ok， Betty， Tim， and Frank. We're going to play charades. Frank， you can learn as we go. And， Carl， you join in at any time. OK， let me think. OK， I've got one. All right. [She pretended to hold an old-fashioned camera in her left hand and turning the handle with her right hand.] Betty： A movie！ A movie！

    Molly： Right. A movie. OK. [She counts to six on her fingers.] Tim： Six words. It has six words. Frank： That's easy. I can play. Molly： Good. OK. We've got a movie. The title……

    Betty： Six words. Molly： Right. First word……[She pulls her ear.] Betty： Sounds like. Tim： Sounds like……

    Molly： You got that part right. Yes. [pulling her ear] Sounds like…… [She shakes her head no. ] Sounds like what？

    Frank： Sounds like no. Molly： Absolutely right， Frank. Sounds like no. OK. We've got a movie. Six words. The first word sounds like no. Frank： Row. Row. Tim： Go. Molly： Nope. Tim： Show. That's it-show. Molly： NO……OK…… [She acts out the word snow with her fingers. ] Betty： Snow. Molly： Absolutely right，Betty. Sounds like no - snow. OK， a movie. Six words. The first word is snow. Frank： This is fun. Molly： Oh， OK. [She holds up five fingers. ] Betty： The fifth word. Molly： Right， fifth word. [She holds up seven fingers. ] Tim： Seven？

    Molly： Absolutely right. Very good. The fifth word is seven. OK， we've got a movie. The first word is snow. Fifth word， seven. Betty： I got it��！ I got it！

    Frank： Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Betty： I got it. Frank： I got it. Molly： Frank， you got it. Betty， you had it， but you didn't say it. Tim： I knew it.

    「語言點(diǎn)精講」

    1. Do you know how to play charades？

    你們知道怎么玩猜啞謎游戲嗎？

    “how to play charades”為疑問詞帶動(dòng)詞不定式構(gòu)成的短語，不是完整句，不能單獨(dú)作為問句。但這樣的短語可以放在某些動(dòng)詞之后。如直接說“How to go to the park？ ”是錯(cuò)誤的，但是可以說“I wonder how to go to the park. ” “Can you tell me how to go to the park？ ”

    2. You're sure you've never played？

    你肯定你從來沒玩過嗎？ 這是一種核對(duì)事實(shí)的說法。

    3. You join in at any time.你隨便什么時(shí)候都可以參加進(jìn)來。

    join in： 參加，加入。

    4. OK， I've got one.好，有了。這里是指“我想出來了。我想到了一個(gè)。”

    動(dòng)詞get是一個(gè)口語常用詞，在非正式的語境中，可以表達(dá)多種含義，如“得到，獲得，想到，猜到”，等等。本情境中就出現(xiàn)了多次。如：We've got a movie. （我們已經(jīng)猜到是部電影。）

    I got it！ （我猜到了！我明白了！）

    5. Sounds like no. sound like： 聽起來像…

    6. That's it-show.就是show這個(gè)詞。That's it. ： 就這樣，對(duì)啦，就是這個(gè)。
