1． speak up，大声地说，清楚地说。
up作副词用时可表示强度等的由弱到强、由低到高：
Can you get up to that note ?
你能唱得到那么高的音吗？
2．He doesn't say very much，does he？他没写许多，是吗？
附加疑问句中的前后两部分的谓语在时态、人称和数上都要一致。回答这种问句时要简略，要根据事实回答。如果答语本身是肯定的，就用 Yes；如果答语本身是否定的，就用 No。

　　语法  Grammar in use
直接引语和间接引语
直接引语就是直接引用说话人原来所说的话；间接引语就是原话的转述。直接引语放在引号里，间接引语是把说话人的原话变成宾语从句。
间接引语中，宾语从句中的动词与主句中的主要动词在时态上必须保持一致。一般来说，主要动词用现在时，间接引语中可用现在时（包括一般现在时、现在进行时、现在完成时）和将来时。如：
She says she's got a headache.
她说她头痛。
He says he's staying at a Youth Hostel.
你说他正住在一家青年招待所。
He says he has sold his house.
他说他已卖掉了房子。
把直接陈述改为间接引语时，谓语动词形式的变化体现在人称上。如：
He says: ‘I hope you are all well. ’
他说:"我希望你们都身体健康。"
He says he hopes we/they are all well.
他说他希望我们／他们都身体健康。
The girl says: ‘I have finished my homework.’
那个姑娘说:"她已完成了家庭作业。"
The girl says that she has finished her homework.
那个姑娘说她已完成了家庭作业。
