　　新概念英语3逐句精讲：　
　　1.Children always appreciate small gifts of money.
　　孩子们总是喜欢得到一些零花钱。
　　语言点1:always是频度副词，通常放在实义动词前，非实义动词后。
　　语言点2:本句中的sb.appreciate sth.相当于sb.be pleased with sth.,意思是“某人喜欢某物”。
　　2.Mum or dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and ants are always a source of extra income.
　　爸爸妈妈当然经常给孩子零花钱，但是，叔舅婶姨也是孩子们额外收入来源。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:of course在此作插入语，起强调作用。But连接两个并列的句子，是转折关系。
　　语言点2:本句中的of course不仅是插入语，最重要的是还起到强调作用。
　　3.With some children, small sums go a long way.
　　对于有些孩子来说，少量的钱可以花很长一段时间。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:with some children作伴随状语。
　　语言点2:with some children相当于for some children,with在此作“对于”讲。
　　语言点3:small sums为省略的说法，补充完整应为small sums of money.
　　语言点4:go along way本意为“走很长的一段路”，在此引申为last a long time（持续很长时间）。
　　4. If fifty pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes.
　　如果50便士不拿来换糖吃，则可以放在储蓄罐里叮当响上好几月。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:if引导条件状语从句，说明money的用处。
　　语言点2:优秀写作短语总结:用某物交换某物
　　exchange sth.for sth.
trade sth.for sth.
switch sth.for sth.
change sth.for sth.
commute sth. for sth.
　　例句支持:
　　Nothing can trade for your health.
任何东西都不能以健康作交换。
　　5. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box.
　　但是能把储蓄罐装满的只有屈指可数的几个特别节俭的孩子。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:请注意only一词在此句中的巧妙用法:放在句首，与very thrifty一起修饰children,表示强调。
　　语言点2:manage to fill up在此不胜旨在简单地表达“设法去塞满”，而是更加突出强调“可以成功地塞满”。

　　6. For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.
　　对大部分孩子来说，用50便士来买一大块好的巧克力，是算不了什么的。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:for most of them是介词短语，作状语，强调句子谈论的对象。
　　语言点2:a bar of chocolate是“一大块巧克力”。
　　7. My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty.

　　8. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there.
　　我给了不少50便士的硬币，但没有几个存到储蓄罐里。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins放在句首，强调“存入储蓄罐的钱太少”。I have given him为省略了引导词的定语从句，修饰pound coins。
　　语言点2:请大家注意以下短语的区别:a fifty pence表示“一张50便士的钞票”，fifty pence pieces意为“多张50便士的钞票”，fifty pennies则为“50梅1便士的硬币”。

　　昨天，我给了他50便士让存起来。
　　语言点:句子结构分析:and连接两个谓语gave和advised。
　　10. Instead he bought himself fifty pence worth of trouble.
　　他却拿这钱给自己买了50 便士的麻烦。
　　语言点1:句子结构分析:instead在本句句首表示转折，相当于but或however。
　　语言点2:bought在此句中为借代用法，不是“借”的意思，而是“因此而得到”。
　　语言点3:这个句子补充完整应为:Instead of saving it he bought himself fifty pence worth of trouble.

　　12. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed is right arm through the drain cover.

　　13. He could not find his fifty pence piece anywhere, and what is more, he could no get his arm out.
　　但他摸了半天也没找到那50便士硬币，他的胳膊反倒退不出来了。

　　这时在他周围上了许多人，一位女士在乔治胳膊上抹了肥皂，黄油，但乔治的胳膊仍然卡得紧紧的。
