a couple of是指“一些、少数、一对、一双。” 如:

1.I will wander around in garden.

wander around是指“到处闲逛、徘徊、流浪”的意思。wander 本身就有“闲逛、徘徊、流浪”的意思,而around 又有“到处、周围、围绕”的意思,所以wander around 就很容易理解了。

2.Don't look around.

look around(到处张望),turn around(向后转),fool around (无所事事、到处鬼混),hang around (逗留)。如:

They like to hang around here at night(他们喜欢在夜晚逗留此地)。

工程师首先进去,考题是:“2+2等于多少”?

工程师想了一会儿,最后回答说:“4。”

然后律师被叫了进去,考题还是一样的。这位律师的回答甚至比数学家还要快:“你想要它等于多少?”

1.He is 3 years old.

年龄的“岁”,英文要用“years”,后面要接“old”, 或是years old 两字都省略,直接说数字。如:

John is fifteen years old,或John is fifteen, 上述两句都是说“约翰十五岁”。

2.It is 25 feet long.

身高的“尺”,英文要用“foot”, 它的复数型是“feet”。“寸”是“inch”, 复数型是“inches”, 后面常常会接形容词“tall(高)”。如:

Mary is 52 inches tall(玛莉身高五尺二寸)。至于体重,欧美人士使用“pound(磅)”,我们使用“kilogram(公斤)”,且常简写为“kg”。
