语法分析:
一. be supposed to
suppose的基本含义为认为,以为
例句:He supposed it was too late to change his mind.
他认为改变主意为时已晚。
I shall suppose him to be about fifty.
我认为他有50岁左右。
这个词常用被动结构be supposed to 意为被期望或要求应该(出于习俗的原因或职责的原因)
Is he supposed to clean the outside of the windows or only the inside?
他应该把窗户外面擦干净,还是只擦窗户里面就可以呢?
He is supposed to arrive on the five o’clock train.
他理应乘五点的火车到。
这个句型的否定结构为be not supposed to 常用于口语中,意为“不被许可”“不应当”
You are not supposed to do that.
你不应当做那种事情。
二. You should have asked what you were supposed to wear.
情态动词有时和动词的完成式构成谓语,表示“应当已经”,“想必已经”这类意思。
I should have thought of that.
这一点我是应当想到的。(但没想到)
They shouldn’t have left so soon.
他们不应当走得这么早(但已经走了)
三. used to do / be, get, become used to doing 的区别
本单元中,既出现了used to
it doesn’t bother me like it used to.
又出现了get used to 和be used to
,but I’m gradually getting used to things, …
I was used to eating with chopsticks and a spoon, …
那么,它们的区别是什么呢?
1. used to表示“过去如此,现在不这样了”。后面接动词原形。
He used to play basketball when he was young.
他年轻时常打篮球。
2. be used to 是“习惯于”某一客观事实或状态。
不强调动作,to是介词,后面接名词或动名词。
如:I am used to the weather here.
我已经习惯这里的天气了。
3. get (或become)used to 指的是从不习惯到习惯这一过程的转变,后面接名词或动名词。
You will soon get used to the weather here.
你会习惯于这里的天气的。
In the end, I got used to doing hard work.
最后,我终于习惯于干苦活了。

Section B 2a
Tapescript
Satosbi: You muse be really excited about leaving for Japan tomorrow, Steve!
Steve: Yeah, I am. But I’m a little nervous, too.
Satosbi: Nervous about what?
Steve: Well, for one thing, I don’t know how to use chopsticks very well... and I don’t know how to behave at the dinner table.
Satosbi: Oh, I see. I could give you a little lesson on Japanese table manners if you’d like.
Steve: Really? That would be great!
Satosbi: Hmmmm. Let me see. One difference is that sometimes it’s polite to make noise when you’re eating. Especially when you’re eating noodles. It shows that you like the food.
Steve: Really? That’s interesting. In the United States you’re not supposed to do that.
Satosbi: Yeah, I know. OK, so here are some chopstick rules: it’s rude to stick your chopsticks into your food. And you shouldn’t point at anyone with your chopsticks.
Steve: Oh, OK. I won’t.
Satosbi: And also, this isn’t about table manners exactly, but you should know that you aren’t supposed to eat or drink while walking down the street.
Steve: Huh.
Satosbi: Oh, and the most important thing you need to know is that you’re not supposed to talk when you’re eating dinner. Only parents are allowed to talk at the dinner table. Children are not allowed to speak.
Steve: Wow! That’s ... that’s unusual!
Satosbi: I’m just kidding! Boy, you’re really gullible, Steve!
