VIII. Language points
1. They go out of their way to make me feel at home.
go out of one’s way 特地；格外努力
e.g. John went out of his way to make his girl friend happy.
约翰想方设法使他的女朋友高兴。
make sb. feel at home 使某人感到宾至如归
e.g. I’m doing everything I can to make them feel at home.
我在尽我一切所能使他们感到宾至如归。
2. You wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has improved because of that.
You wouldn’t believe …是一个常用句式，相当于汉语所说的“你无法想象……；你想都想不到……；你绝不会相信……”，表示所陈述的事情超出想象之外。与此类似的表达还有You would never believe…或You would hardly believe…。例如：
You wouldn’t believe that he found his long-lost sister in Taiwan!
你绝对想不到他在台湾找到了失散多年的姐姐！
You would never believe what quick progress he’s made ever since he attended your class.
你根本无法想象，自从他听了您的讲课后进步有多大。
3. My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.
learning how to behave at the table是现在分词短语，在此用作句子的表语。再如：
His main hobby is fishing. 他的主要爱好是钓鱼。
The most important thing is getting there in time. 最重要的事是及时到达那里。
behave
【讲解】behave是不及物动词，意为“表现；行为”，behave well / badly表示“表现好/糟糕”。它的名词形式behaviour(举止；行为)，是不可数名词。
【运用】请根据汉语意思补全英语句子，每空一词。
(1) 如果你那样表现，你会让人厌恶的。
____ you _______ like that, you’ll get yourself disliked.
(2) 如此的行为可能招致麻烦。
______ ________ may cause trouble.
4. … but I’m gradually getting used to it. get used to 习惯于
e.g. We get used to this way of speaking,.
我们习惯了这种说话方式。
辨析：
① be/get used to sth./doing sth. 习惯于…
e.g. He got used to living in the country.
他习惯住在乡下。
② used to do sth. 过去常常做某事（现在不做了）
e.g. He used to plant roses.
他过去常常种植玫瑰。
5. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hand except bread, not even fruit.
except作介词，意为“除……之外”，和but意义相似，但语气上要比but更加强烈。
1) Everyone is here except him.
2) We have classes except Saturday and Sunday.
通过观察例句1和例句2，我们可知except后可以跟 ______ 和 ______ 。
3) I can take a holiday at any time except in September.
通过观察例句3，可知，except后也可跟__________。
4) He never came to visit except to borrow something.
5) He will do anything except lent you money.
通过观察例句4，可知except后可接动词不定式。意思是“除了做……”。但在例句5中except后为“lend you money”，所以我们可知若except前含不定代词时，就要______________________。
【运用】将下列汉语句子翻译成英语。
1. 除了烹调，她别的都会干。
______________________________
2. 我除了要通过考试之外，没有别的心愿。
____________________________________________
