Unit 5 Family and Home词句精讲精练词汇精讲1. the Smith familythe Smith family也可表达为the Smiths“史密斯一家”。

在英语中，“the+姓氏+family”表示“……一家人”或“……夫妇两人”，相当于“the+姓氏的复数形式”；作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。

例如：The Green family are very friendly.=The Greens are very friendly.格林一家很友善。

2. have no brothers or sistersno此处作形容词，意为“没有”，修饰名词brothers和sisters，相当于not any。

no修饰可数名词单数时，相当于not a/an；no修饰不可数名词或可数名词复数时，相当于not any。

常在句型转换等题型中考查“no+名词”与“not+a/an/any”的同义句改写。

例如：I have no brother.=I don’t have a brother. 我没有兄弟。

There is no water in the cup.=There isn’t any water in the cup. 杯子里没有水。

3. talk to sb. about sth.talk to sb. about sth.意为“同某人谈论某事”。

例如：The teacher is talking about to Lucy about her study. 老师正在同Lucy谈论她的学习情况。

Don’t talk to me about English. 不要和我谈论英语。

【拓展】（1）talk with sb.“同谋人交谈”。

例如：My teacher is talking with/to my mother. 我的老师正在和我妈妈谈话。

（2）talk about sth.“谈论某事”。

Unit 5
Family and Home
(一)西方人的日常风俗习惯
在交谈中，我们经常谈论家庭、年龄，但是在西方国家，人们却不谈论这些话题。

西方人在交谈中，不喜欢涉及个人隐私，有的话题甚至是忌讳的，如年龄、婚姻状况、收入情况、宗教信仰、竞选中投谁的票等等。

看到别人买东西时，西方人一般不问价钱；见到别人外出或回来一般不问“你打算去哪儿？”或“你从哪儿来？”，否则，会令人感觉不愉快。

英美国家的人们很讲究“个人空间”，因此，同别人交谈时切勿站得太近。

平时，无论在饭馆还是图书馆，都要同他人保持一定的距离。

如果不得已同他人坐一桌或紧挨着他人的座位时，最好打声招呼，问一声：“我可以坐在这儿吗？”
此外，在英美等一些国家，父母对孩子的态度也体现了他们的文化价值观。

他们的孩子出生后，往往被另置一室，不和父母同住，使孩子习惯拥有自己的房间，这被认为是走向独立的第一步。

到了一定年龄(一般是18－20岁)，父母往往鼓励孩子离开家庭。

美国年轻人认为，不和父母一起生活是一件值得骄傲的事情，他们喜欢独立自主以表明自身的价值。

(二)英国人的称呼
英国人若不是特别亲近的长辈，他们一般都直呼其名。

为了表达晚辈对长辈的尊敬，他们会让孩子对家中的长辈有辈分上的称呼，但还是带着名字，比如“罗伯特爷爷”“凯莉阿姨”等。

这样称呼的另一个原因是，英语中关于辈分的称呼极其贫乏，“祖父”“外祖父”都是同一个词，不像中文的“爷爷”“姥爷”；而“叔”和“舅”的称呼也是同一个词；“姑”和“姨”的称呼也一样。

所以，他们也只有用名字来区分相同辈分的不同人了。

但对关系稍微远些的亲戚、朋友或陌生人，尽管是长辈，他们也直呼其名。
