4. Vocabulary (textbook)
5. Text-explanation
(1) It was Sunday. 
it 指时间、天气、温度或距离,it被称为“虚主语”(empty subject)。从公司到我家大概有5公里。It is about 5 kilometer from the company to my home. 作为第三人称单数的中性代词,it可以指一件东西、一件事件或用来指是什么人: It is a lovely baby. 
(2)I never get up early on Sundays. 
never从来不、绝对不。频率副词,可以用在多种时态中。 例句:
-Have you loved me? -Never. 
-Will you marry me? -Never.  太绝情了!
on Sundays: 所有的星期天,每逢星期天,与一般现在时连用,表示经常性的行为。 
介词on一般用于表示某一天的时间短语中:on Mondayon Monday morning,on that day 当使用lastnextthisthat时,介词(以及定冠词)必须省略: 我下周(这周)来见你。I’ll see you next/this Friday.
(3) I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. 
sometimes 有时。频率副词。常用于一般现在时。
例句:I usually get up at seven but sometimes at eight. 
stay in bed 在床上,卧床休息
in bed 在床上睡觉 VS in the bed 仅仅是陷在床里面 
在表达卧床时bed前不需加冠词:
你必须再卧床两天。You must stay in bed for another two days. 
到上床睡觉的时候了。It’s time for bed now
untiltill的区别:till只用在肯定句中,until可以用在肯定句或否定句中。
until 用在肯定句中,表示一个动作一直持续到某时。He stayed in bed until/till lunchtime. 
用在否定句中,表示直到什么时间才做了某事。He didn’t get up until lunchtime.   
例句:Last night I stayed up until/till 12:00. = Last night I didn’t go to bed until 12:0
0. 
lunchtime 午饭时间,一般是指11:00~13:00 
(4) Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.’
look out 小心,注意。Look out! Theres a hole in the ground. = Watch out! 
look out of... 往„的外面看。←→ look  往„的里面看
It was dark outside. 这里的it也是虚主语,指代天。outside是地点副词,作状语。
What a day! 省略式感叹句。= What a day it is! = What a bad/terrible day it is! 
在英语中可用what引导的感叹句来表示惊奇、愤怒、赞赏、喜悦等感情,在感叹中主谓语采用正常语序。
来源:It is a bad day. What a bad day it is! 
构成:What + 名词(包括冠词和形容词) + 主语代词+ 谓语动词+ ! 
对照:How + 形容词/副词+ 主语(名词/代词) + 谓语动词+ ! 
What a good girl (she is)! (主、谓可省)
有上下文和一定的语境, 才能省略形容词。一般省略形容词表示批评或不大好的意思。
What (a lot of) trouble( he is causing)! 他弄出多少麻烦啊!
EG: 好肥一头猪!What a fat pigit is! 
这些书多么有意思啊!What interesting booksthey are. 
It’s raining again. 这里的it也是虚主语,代指天气。again反映了作者抱怨的情绪。
