要点语句轻松学
1. are you all right? 你还好吗?
假定你认为或人(熟人)看上去不太好，可以用这句话问好对方。如：
a: are you all right, tom? you look pale.
你还好吗，汤姆？你看上去气色苍白。
b: i’m tired. but i’m all right.
我累了，不过没疑问。
2. you look tired. 你如同累了。
英语顶用tired标明“累、疲倦”，如: i’m feeling tired. 我感劳累了。还可以用tired out标明“非常疲倦，很累”。如：
i felt cold, hungry, and tired out.
我感触又冷又饿，非常疲倦。
be tired of sth/doing sth意为“厌烦；厌烦”。如：
if you’re tired of haikou, you’re tired of life.
要是你厌烦海口，那么你就厌烦了日子。
i was tired of hearing about his story.
我听腻了关于他的故事。
3. no, not at all. 一点也不累。
上句说”i think you’re tired.”，下句答复“no, not at all.”全句应说“ no, i’m not tired at all.（不，我一点也不累。）” 。如：
a: does she love you? 她喜爱你吗?
b: no, not at all. (she doesn’t love me at all.)
不，她根柢不爱我。
not at all 作为词组运用，还标明礼貌地答谢或附和，意为“别谦让；没联络；没啥”。如：
(1) a: thanks a lot. 非常谢谢。
b: not at all. 不谦让。
(2) a: will it bother you if i sit by you? 我坐在你周围介意吗?
b: not at all. 没联络。
4. are we going sightseeing in haikou this morning?
咱们今日上午要去旅行海口吗?
去旅行或参观，可以说go sightseeing in someplace，如：
go sightseeing in boston/cambridge 去旅行波士顿/剑桥。

5. we’ll take bus no.37 to the clock tower.
咱们要坐37路公交车到钟楼。
英语中标明哪一路公交车要用“ bus no. + 基数词”，bus和no.两词的第一个字母要大写，如: to take bus no.11 坐11路公共轿车。
类似用法还有标明房间号，如: room no.1303 房号1303。
6. we’ll do some sightseeing around qilou.
咱们要旅行骑楼老街。
do some sightseeing意为“（做）参观或旅行”，规划为do+(some) v.-ing，意为“做某项作业或活动”，如：do some shopping /smoking /washing / cleaning 购物、吸烟、洗(衣裳)、打扫清洁。
