Food and talk
进餐与交谈
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Was Mrs. Rumbold a good companion at dinner?
Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon, I said. Will you be seeing it?
No, she answered.
Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year? I asked.
No, she answered.
Will you be staying in England? I asked.
No, she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
Young man, she answered, if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!"

进餐与交谈
在上星期的一次宴会上，女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁。兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人，穿一件紧身的黑衣服。当我在她身旁坐下来的时候，她甚至连头都没有抬一下。她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子，不一会儿就忙着吃起来了。我试图找个话题和她聊聊。
“一出新剧要来‘环球剧场’上演了，”我说，“您去看吗？”
“不，”她回答。
“您今年去国外度假吗？”我又问。
“不，”她回答。
“您就呆在英国吗？”我问。
“不，”她回答。
失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意。
“年轻人，”她回答说，“如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的！”

a Do you remember these sentences:(KS16)
你还记得这些句子吗?(参见第16课关键句型)
在以下条件句中, 主句中用将来时或祈使句, 而从句中则用现在时.
It he is out, I'll call tomorrow. If have time, I'll be writing to him tomorrow.
You'll miss the train if you don't hurry. Please don't disturb him if he is busy.
If he is working I'll not disturb him.
b Now study these sentences carefully:
细读以下句子 :
在这一类条件句中, if从句谈论想像的情况, 主句则推测想像的结果. 在从句中要用动词的过去时, 这并不表明过去的某一特定时间或过去某一动作, 因此常被称作 “非真实的过去” , 整个条件句也被称作非真实条件句. 如果if从句中的动词是be, 那么应该在第一和第三人称单数名词之后用were.
If you went to the exhibition you would enjoy it. 假如你去看展览, 你会喜欢的.
If you saw him now you wouldn't recognize him. 假如你现在见到他, 你会认不出来的.
