英语简单学第55课A good idea

Betty: Shall I make some coffee, Jane?
Jane: That’s a good idea, Betty.
Betty: It’s ready. Do you want any milk?
Jane: Just a little please.
Betty: What about some sugar? Two teaspoonfuls?
Jane: No, less than that. One and a half teaspoonfuls please. That’s enough for me.
Jane: That was very nice.
Betty: Would you like some more?
Jane: Yes, please.
Jane: I’d like a cigarette, too. May I have one?
Betty: Of course. I think there are a few in that box.
Jane: I’m afraid it’s empty.
Betty: What a pity!（真遗憾）
Jane: It doesn’t matter.
Betty: Have a biscuit instead. Eat more and smoke less!
Jane: That’s very good advice!

1. Just a little， please．请稍加一点儿。
   a little (=some)，一些／一点，用于修饰不可数名词。又如：
   a little money/ water/coffee
   一点儿钱／水／咖啡
   a few (=some,several) 则用于可数名词。
2. One and a half teaspoonfuls， please．请放一勺儿半。
   在英语中，比1大的东西，即使比2小，也需用复数表示。
3. It doesn't matter．没关系。
   这是表示此意的几种常用说法之一。
4. 不规则形容词的比较级和最高级
   不规则形容词的比较级和最高级例举如下：
   good----better----best
   bad----worse----worst
   many/much----more----most
   little----less----least
   far----farther----farthest
   ----further----furthest
5. 词的数与修饰词
   可数名词的多与少，用many与few来表达；不可数名词的多与少，则用much与little来表达
