精讲笔记：
7.I went back to the ticket office at once.
我就立刻又回到售票处。
语言点1 go back = return 此句可改为:I returned to the ticket office at once.
语言点2 at once = immediately = as soon as = directly =instantly 立刻
8.‘Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.
“我能买那两张票吗?”我问。
语言点 could = can, 但前者多用于口语表达，比后者更为客气，尤其是在句尾还补上一词 please,就更为礼貌了。
9.‘Certainly, 'the girl said,‘but they are for next Wednesday's performance.
“当然可以，”卖票的女孩回答，“不过这两张票是下星期三的，您是否还要呢?”
语言点1 在此作介词，意为“为了”
I went there for learning English. 我去那儿的目的就是为了学英语。
This room is only for officer. 这个房间是专为官员准备的。
语言点2 比较学习：still, yet
still用于肯定句、疑问句，意为“依然，还”：He is still at home.他还在家里。/ Do you still learn Oiinese?你还在学汉语吗?
yet意为“也，还”，用于否定句，常用于现在完成时;用于疑问句，意思为“已经”：
He hasn’t come back yet. 他还没有回来。
—Has he done it yet? 他做完了吗?
—Not yet= He hasn’t done it yet. 没呢。
10.‘I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
“我还是买下的好，”我垂头丧气地说。
语言点 “may / might as well +动词原形”表示没有更多选择不情愿地去做某事(尤其用于第一人称)：Wemight as well take this train. 我们最好还是坐这趟火车。/ I might as well eat this apple.我看还是吃了这个苹果为好。
