A private conversation

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily.

'It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'

私人谈话

上星期我去看戏了。我的座位非常好。那部剧非常有趣。但我却无法欣赏。一男青年和一女青年正坐在我的后面。他们大声地说着话。我非常生气。我听不到演员在说什么。我转过头来。我生气地看着那一男一女。他们毫不理睬。最后,我实在忍无可忍了。我又一次转过头来。"我一个字也听不见了!"我生气地说。

"不关你的事,"那男青年粗鲁地说。"这是私人谈话!"

🔑 关键句型 · Key Structure

简单陈述句的语序 (Word Order in Simple Statements)

英语简单陈述句的基本语序是:

主语 (Subject) + 动词 (Verb) + 宾语 (Object) + 状语 (Adverbial)

从课文中的例子:

主语 动词 宾语 状语
I went to the theatre
I had a very good seat
The play was very interesting
They were talking loudly

词序规则

💡 中文说"我昨天去剧院了"→ 时间状语"昨天"在前。
但英文说 I went to the theatre yesterday. → 时间状语在句尾。
这是中英文最显著的区别之一,写作时务必注意!
