ACT 3-3 “ 你生活中还有别的女人吗？”

【故事梗概】

客厅里只留下了Susan和Harry，他们的谈话涉及到了更多的私人问题。

Susan: She's going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow. She is sleeping here so she won't have to travel from Riverdale in the morning.
Harry: You two must be close.
Susan: We are. The whole Stewart family is close.
Harry: I like that.
[Later that evening...]
Harry: And then, two years ago, my wife died.
Susan: You miss her.
Harry: I do...yes, but I have Michelle...and with time...
Susan: Is there anyone else in your life?
Harry: No, not yet. What about you?
Susan: Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.

【语言点精讲】

1. She's going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow.
be going to表示在最近的将来预定或按计划要作的事。fashion show: 时装表演。

2. You two must be close.
你们两个一定很要好。must be 表示一种肯定的推测。close在这里的意思是“亲密的，关系好的”。

3. I have Michelle...and with time...
"and with time..." 随着时间的流逝，相当于"as time goes by."

4. Is there anyone else in your life?
这句话是在委婉的问" Do you have a special woman or girlfriend in your life? "（你生活中还有别的女人吗？）

5. What about you?
你呢？这句话通常用来反问对方。在本语境中，意思是"Do you have a special man or boy friend in your life?"（你有没有男朋友？）

6. Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.
噢，我偶尔也和人约会，可是我工作太忙了。
keep+宾语+宾语补足语，使...处于某种状态（情况）。用作宾语补足语常见的词有现在分词、过去分词、形容词、副词以及介词短语。
