今天他在由纽约市曼哈顿区到斯塔滕岛的渡船上工作，回程中遇到了来自加州的一位黑人妇女M artha V ann和她的小儿子Gerald。

Ric hard想要给他们拍照。

请先听下面的音频：Ric hard: E xc use me. M y name is Ric hard Stewart. I'm a photographer. M ay I take a pic ture of you and your little boy? M rs.Vann: What's it for?Ric hard: It's for a book.M rs.Vann: Y ou're writing a book?Ric hard: It's a book of pic tures. I c all it Family A lbum, U.S.A.M rs.Vann: O h, that's a nic e idea. Well, it's fine if you take our picture. I'm M artha Vann.Ric hard: Thank you. I appreciate your help. I'm Ric hard. What's your name?Gerald: Gerald.Ric hard: How old are you, Gerald?Gerald: Five.Ric hard: A nd where do you live?M rs.Vann: We live in C alifornia.Ric hard: Well, welc ome to N ew Y ork. OK, just a sec ond. I'm almost ready here.【语言点精讲】1. Excuse me. My name is Richard Stewart. I'm a photographer.这是Ric hard在与陌生人搭讪并介绍自己。

Exc us e me 这个短语用来引起对方的注意。

相当于汉语的“对不起，劳驾”。

自我介绍时可以先介绍自己的名字，再说明自己的职业。

介绍自己的名字时，可以像Ric hard一样，说M y name is Richard Stewart.也可以像M rs. V ann那样，说I'm Martha V ann.2. May I take a picture of you and y our little boy?May I...是一种很礼貌的征求别人的同意的说法，相当于“我可以...吗？”。

Ric hard 想要为M rs. V ann 母子拍照片，他首先要征得当事人的同意，否则闹出肖像权的问题可不是好玩滴~~3. I appreciate your help.这是在受别人帮助或听了别人的忠告之后的感谢语。

在Richard向M rs. Vann说明了照片的用途后，M rs. Vann欣然接受拍照的请求，之后Ric hard立即向对方表达了感谢。

这里也可以说I really appreciate it.4. Welcome to New York.Welc ome to… 是迎接客人的客套语。

Ric hard与M rs. Vann母子攀谈几句后得知母子二人来自于C alifornia，于是Ric hard对他们说，欢迎到纽约来。

又例如：Welcome to HJ E nglis h.ACT 1-2 “我可以帮忙吗？”【故事梗概】Ric hard准备为M rs.Vann母子拍照，他需要使用反光板。

这时，一位来自希腊的交换生A lexandra主动提出要帮助他。

照片顺利的拍完了。

Ric hard感谢了A lexandra并开始与她交谈。

Ric hard: O K, Jus t a s econd. I'm almos t ready here.Alexadra: C an I help you?Ric hard: O h, please. H old Gerald's hand, pleas e. Great!N ow point to the buildings. T errif ic!Give M ommy a kiss, Gerald. N ice!T hank you, Gerald. And thank you, M rs Vann.M rs.Vann: O h, my pleas ure. We'll be looking for your book.Ric hard: Thank you. Good-bye. Bye, Gerald. T hanks again.Alexandra: O h, you're welcome.Ric hard: Hey, let me take your pic ture!Alexandra: Wonderful. Pleas e.Ric hard: A re you from New Y ork?Alexandra: N o, I'm from Greec e. I'm an exc hange s tudent.Ric hard: When did you c ome here?Alexandra: T hree months ago.Ric hard: Your E nglis h is very good.Alexandra: T hanks. I studied E nglis h in sc hool.【语言点精讲】1. Can I help y ou?在为别人提供帮助前，我们可以说C an I help you?也可以说Let me...（让我，允许我），如本文中，Ric hard对Alexandra说"H ey, let me take your pic ture!" 但是这种说法没有Can I...的礼貌程度高。

如果我们愿意接受帮助，则可以回答"O h, please." 或者"Y es, pleas e."。

也可以像A lexandra那样很可爱的讲"Wonderful. P lease."2. Great! / Terrif ic! / Nice!在拍照的过程中，M rs.V ann母子每在他的要求下摆一个新的姿势，Ric hard都会对他们的配合给予肯定。

他用到的"Great!T errific! N ice!" 都是用来表示“太好了，好极了，很好”的意思。

3. We'll be looking f or your book.这里的look for是寻找的意思。

4. My pleasure. / You're welcome.当别人对你表示感谢时，可以用"My pleas ure."或者"Y ou're welcome."来进行回应。

ACT 1-3 “你想来点咖啡吗？”【故事梗概】在交谈中，A lexandra 表示希望了解一下Ric hard 的书。

于是Ric hard向她展示了自己为这本书拍的一些照片。

同时，Ric hard也向她展示了自己家人的照片。

下面，上音频~~Ric hard: Your E nglis h is very good.Alexandra: T hanks. I studied E nglis h in sc hool.Ric hard: Would you like s ome c offee?Alexandra: N o, thank you. T ell me about your book.Ric hard: O h, it's not finis hed yet, but I have s ome of the pictures. Would you like to s ee them?Alexandra: Y es, I'd like that.Ric hard: Here they are. Family Album, U.S.A.. I t's an album of pic tures of the U nited States: the c ities, the s pecial places, and the people. A nd thes e are pictures of people working: s teel workers, bankers, polic e, s treet vendors, ambulanc e drivers, doc tors...O h, this is my father. H e's a doctor. This is my mother.Alexandra: What's her name?Ric hard: Ellen. My younger brother, Robbie. H e goes to high sc hool. T his is my s is ter Susan. She works for a toyc ompany. H ere's my grandfather. He lives in Florida. A nd this is my wife M arilyn.Alexandra: O h, s he's very pretty.Ric hard: Thanks.【语言点精讲】1. Would you like some cof f ee?Would you like...相当于“你想要...吗？”，在客气地请对方做某事或请客时用。

如本文中，Ric hard问A lexandra“想来一点咖啡吗”，他说 "Would you like s ome c offee?"在谈到自己的书Family A lbum, U.S.A.时，他问对方“想要看一看吗”，"Would you like to s ee them?"如果我们不想接受，就说"N o, thank you."如果愿意接受，则说"Y es. I'd like that." 或者"Y es. Please."2. Here they are.把东西给别人看时用。
