The little girl replied, "Shopping and gossiping!"

Notes:

1. A little girl was lost，so she went up to a policeman and said, "I’ve lost my mom!"

有一个小女孩儿走丢了，于是她走到一个警察跟前说：“我妈妈不见了!”

这个句子中有两个lost，第一个是形容词，表“迷路的”， 第二个是动词lost的过去分词，表“失去、遗失"

lost [lɒst] adj.迷賂的 lose [lu:z] v.失去;遗失

go up to走近…;到…地方去

2. The cop said, "What’s she like?"

这个警察说：“他什幺样予?”

cop是由动词cop(逮捕)演变而来的，“警察”也可以说成 policeman，police officer。要称呼他们则用officer。

What's she like? = What is she like? (她什么样子?)。不要和What does she like? (她喜欢什么?)弄混了。“像”和“喜欢”都like,但是“像”是介词，而“喜欢”则是动词。

cop [kɒp] n.(男)警察

3. The little girl replied, "Shopping and gossiping!"

小女孩回答：“买东西和说闲话!”

shopping [ˈʃɒpɪŋ] n.购物 gossip [ˈgɒsɪp] v. 说闲话;说长道短
