自学导读

1．How do you do？您好。
这是用于第一次见面时的较正式用语。一般用同样的话来回答。请参见 Lessons 5～6课文详注。
2．Come and meet our employees…来见见我们的雇员……
这里的and表示目的。请参见 Lessons 13～14中语法部分的解释。
3．This is Nicola Grey，and this is Claire Taylor．这位是尼古拉·格雷，这位是克莱尔·泰勒。
这是介绍人们彼此认识时的常用句型。请参见 Lessons 5～6课文详注。
4．名词的复数形式（2）
如果名词单数词尾为-f或-fe（读作／f／），则其复数一律变为-ves （读作／vz／），即将-f或-fe变成-v，再加-es而成，如 housewife----housewives。
英语中有一些名词的复数形式是不规则的，如man与woman其复数形式分别为men与women。此外还可用man，woman等来区别阳性与阴性：以-man结尾的一些复合名词指男性，如milkman---- milkmen，policeman ---- policemen；一些以-woman结尾的名词指女性，如postwoman---- postwomen，policewoman ---- policewomen。
5．数字200，1，000，1，001的英文写法
200 ---- two hundred
1，000 ---- a（或 one） thousand
1，001 ---- a thousand and one
