自学导读
1.I can't change a ten-pound note. 我找不开 10英镑的钞票。
这里 change是动词,意为“兑换”。change还可作名词,意为“零钱”,如课文中的 I've got no small change, I'm afraid。此外,no +名词表示所指的东西全然没有。以上这句话比 I haven't got any small change更强调没有任何一点儿零钱。
2.I've got none.我没有。
这里指零钱(不可数名词)。none也可与可数名词连用
None of our passengers can change this note.
我们的乘客中没有一个能破开这张钞票的。
none在句中通常单独使用
3.Except us.我们俩除外。
意思是:除了我们,他们都是百万富翁。
语法 Grammar in use
so与neither引导的简短回答
以so 或 neither开头的简短回答,必须用倒装形式,即: So/Neither +助动词+主语。假如前一句是肯定的,后一句就用so开头;如前一句是否定的,后一句则用neither/nor开头。前后两句的时态要一致。
