四 Notes on the text & 课文注释
1) What"s Ron Marston like, Pauline? 波琳,朗·马斯顿是怎样一个人?
What is sb. like? 这一句式可用来询问某人的外貌或品行。就本课的具体情况而言,波琳的回答更多地是指马斯顿的品行如何。

four times, 4次。 time在英语中作不可数名词时表示“时间”;作可数名词时表示“次数”。请注意英语中次数的表示法:

3次或 3次以上通常都用基数词 times表示: five times 5次 thirty times 30次

口语中也常用 answer the phone。还有类似的短语如:answer the door/doorbell 应声开门 | answer a letter回信

speak to sb. 意为“与某人说话”。例如打电话时可以说:
May I speak to Pauline, please? 请让波琳接电话好吗?
I" d like to speak to Pauline, please. 我想请波琳听电话。
6) This is Pauline"s mother. 我是波琳的母亲。
This is…是英美人打电话时表示“我是……”的句式,而不说 I"m…。如:
