Part 5 Family Pictures 家庭老照片 
Dialogue Script 1 對(duì)話(huà)原文 1 
Jack: Hi, Sally. What are you doing?
Sally: I'm looking at old family pictures.
Jack: Why did you get those out?
Sally: To help Emily with her homework. She asked me to find some pictures of her relatives.
Jack: Can't Emily do that herself?
Sally: No. She doesn't know who all these people in the photos are.
Jack: I'm not sure I do, either! So why does Emily need these pictures?
Sally: Emily has to make a family tree.
Jack: With pictures?
Sally: Yes. I'm looking for photos of Grandpa George and Grandma Mabel.
Jack: Did you find any?
Sally: I think so. Isn't this Grandpa George?
Jack: Uh, I'm not sure. It could be his brother.
Sally: True. I wish there were names on these photos.
Jack: Me too. Next time I visit Mom, I'll take these pictures with me.
Sally: Good idea. Mom will remember who's who.
講解：
1. 對(duì)話(huà)中Sally和Jack在翻看家庭老照片。Sally為什么會(huì)把這些老照片翻出來(lái)呢？原來(lái)她要幫Emily完成她的作業(yè)，也就是找一些親戚的照片。help with something 這個(gè)詞組表示“幫助，協(xié)助”，He let Tom help with the washing-up. 他讓Tom幫忙洗碗。那么對(duì)話(huà)中出現(xiàn)的help someone with something，表示“幫助某人做某事”，例如：I can help you with the packing. 我可以幫你整理行李。
2. 為什么Emily不自己找呢？因?yàn)檎掌系囊恍┤怂膊徽J(rèn)識(shí)。Jack也不確定自己都認(rèn)識(shí)照片里的人。那么Emily要這些照片做什么呢？原來(lái)她的作業(yè)就是要用這些照片做一個(gè)family tree也就是“家譜圖”。在上節(jié)課我們已經(jīng)對(duì)family tree做了介紹。我們來(lái)說(shuō)說(shuō)photo這個(gè)詞，它是在口語(yǔ)當(dāng)中比較常用的，比較正式的詞是photograph，不過(guò)在美國(guó)口語(yǔ)中，表示“相片，照片”的比較常用的詞還是picture。組成的短語(yǔ)就是take a picture of sb./sth. 比如說(shuō)，旅游的時(shí)候，我們經(jīng)常會(huì)請(qǐng)別人給我們照相，就可以說(shuō)，Can you take a picture of us? 你能幫我們照張像嗎？還有一個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)，take a good picture，表示“上相，上鏡”，還有一個(gè)專(zhuān)門(mén)的
形容詞來(lái)表示這個(gè)意義，就是photogenic ，例如：I'm not very photogenic. 我照相不大上相。Sally想找Grandpa George and Grandma Mabel 的照片，但是好像沒(méi)有什么結(jié)果。
3. 因?yàn)樗麄円膊恢勒掌系娜耸遣皇荊randpa George，也許是他的弟弟也說(shuō)不定�？磥�(lái)這張照片是夠老的了。要是照片上寫(xiě)了名字就好了。I wish there were names on these photos. 這是一個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)氣的句子，表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的愿望。
4. Jack建議帶這些照片去問(wèn)問(wèn)他們的媽媽?zhuān)琒ally很同意，因?yàn)閶寢尶隙〞?huì)知道誰(shuí)是誰(shuí)。
