2.retell
Step2 Language points:
1. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I know you .
注意，这句话的英语表达方式与汉语不同。汉语主句中的动词“想”用肯定式，而宾语从句中的动词用否定式。英语则相反，主句动词(think, suppose等)用否定式，而宾语从句中的动词(如句中的 know)用肯定式。又如：
I don't think you are right. 我认为你不对。
I don't think he will come. 我认为他不会来。
I don't suppose I shall be back until 8 o'clock. 我想八点以前我回不来。
2.Years of hard work, very little food, only a small cold room to live in and never, never a moment’s rest . 数年的辛劳,食不果腹,屈居寒舍,从无休息
这是个单成分句,有四个名词词组组成. 这种句子是一个相对完整的语言单位,不需要增补其他的成分. 这句话可理解为:
We had ten years of hard work but we had little food to eat. We had only a small room to live in and we never had a moment’s rest.
句中的to live in是动词不定式短语作定语,修饰room. 动词不定式作定语有两种情况.
①与所修饰的词有动宾关系(如不定式是不及物动词,必须加上适当的介词).
Today I have a lot of work to do .
He is a nice man to work with.
②与所修饰的有主谓关系,即被修饰的词是动词不定式的逻逻辑主语.
He is always the last one to leave the office.
3. Can’t you just wear a flower instead?
是一个否定疑问句。否定疑问句可以表示对某事没有做或没有发生而感到吃惊。这种吃惊听起来可能含有批评或责难的意思。又如：
Hasn't Albert telephoned yet? 阿伯特还没有打电话来吗？(说话人认为阿伯特本该已经打电话来了，但却没有打来，因此感到奇怪，并含有批评的口气。)
It's getting dark. Can't you walk a little faster? 天快黑了，你不能走快点吗？(说话人觉得对方走慢了，含有责备的口吻。)
4.You tried it on and it looked wonderful on you.
你还把项链戴上试了试，戴在你身上真是太好看了。
1) try on作“试穿”、“试戴”解(to put on clothes, hats or shoes to test the fit, examine the appearance, etc. )。例如：
Never buy shoes without trying them on first. 鞋子不先试穿就不要买。
The tailor asked the girl to try on the new dress. 裁缝要那个女孩试穿一下那件新衣服。
2)“… it looked wonderful on you”中的介词on作“附着在……上”解。例如：
She had a red hat on her head. 她的头上戴着一顶红帽子。
Have you got a match on you? 你身边带着火柴吗？
He carried a heavy bag on his back. 他背上背着一个沉重的背包。
5.It was worth five hundred francs at most.
它(那条项链)最多值 500法郎。
1)句中 be worth作“值(多少钱)”、或“值得”解。 worth后常接名词(代词)或动词的-ing形式，组成“(be) + (well)+worth +sth. /doing sth. ”结构。例如：
“How much is the necklace worth?”----“It's worth 300 U. S. dollars. ”“这条项链值多少钱？”--“ 300美元。”
The museum is worth a visit/visiting. 那个博物馆很值得一看。
His suggestion is worth consideration/considering. 他的建议值得考虑。
Don't lock the door; it isn't worth it. 别锁门了，不值得锁。
2) at (the) most 作“最多”、“至多”解，它的反义词组是 at (the) least(最少，至少)。例如：
I can pay only fifteen pounds at the most. 我最多只能付15英镑。
She is at most 25 years old. 她最多25岁。
The repairs will cost at least 30 dollars. 修理费至少要30美元。
This is worth 3000 yuan at the least. 这个至少值3000元。
