注:

1.“Not yet,mom.”是一個省略句，其完整的句子表達是“I have not finished my homework yet,mom.”。

2.關于“go”的用法，平時同學們常用的表達是：“go to + 地名”（go to the cinema、go to the hospital、go to the zoo 等），“go to + 動詞（短語）”（go to work、go to play the table tennis、go to see a film 等），“go to + 動名詞（短語）”（go fishing、go swimming、go hiking 等）。然而，這里的“Go do your homework.”這句話卻不存在語法錯誤。因為在英語中，當“go”后面這個動作發(fā)生的時間與“go”這個動作發(fā)生的時間差小得可以忽略不計時，就可以用“go + 動詞原形”來表達，如：“Go set the table.”“Go pick up the pencil for me.”“Dinner is ready.Go wash your hands,Tom.”。

3.英語中的“go to school”與“attend school”翻譯成中文時都可以是“上學”，但是兩者的意思其實是不一樣的?！癵o to school”表達的是“上學”或“到學校上課”這一行為，而“attend school”表達的是“入學”，即原來未上學的人即將要入學。如：“In China,children must attend school at 6.”“Mr.Wang’s son and daughter attend the same primary school.”。

4.“Uncle Sam bought me one the day before yesterday.”這句話中的“one”指代的就是“a pen”。句中的“bought me one”就是“bought one for me”的意思，因為在英語中“buy sb.something”就等于“buy something for sb.”。

5.“Yes,that’s all I need for now.”這句話中的“all”后面省略了“that”。英語中，“all that”就等于“what”。因此，這句話還可以說成“Yes,that’s all that I need for now.”或“Yes,that’s what I need for now.”。
