一、课文原文

Lesson 49 At the butcher’s

Do you want any meat today, Mrs. Bird?

Yes, please.

This lamb's very good.

I like lamb, but my husband doesn’t.

What about some steak? This is a nice piece.

Give me that piece please.

And a pound of mince, too.

Do you want a chicken, Mrs. Bird? They're very nice.

No, thank you.

My husband likes steak, but he doesn't like chicken.

To tell you the truth, Mrs. Bird, I don't like chicken either!

本课继续学习一般现在时表喜好的用法，只是本课侧重的是主语为第三人称时的用法，即：

He/She/It/They like/want ...

当然，第三人称也可以是名词作主语。如：

He likes bananas.
The dog wants some water.
They like lamb.

注意其否定用法为：

He/She/It/They does/do not like/want...

此时，要注意如果like/want后面的宾语中还有some的话，一般要改为any。如：

He does not like bananas.
The dog does not want any water.
They do not like lamb.

其一般疑问句的用法为：

Does/Do he/she/it/they like/want...?

如：

- Does he like bananas? - Yes, he does. / No, he doesn't.
- Do they like lamb? - Yes, they do. / No, they don't.

其特殊疑问句的用法为：

特殊疑问词+do/does he/she/it/they like/want...?

如：

What does he like?
How much water does the dog want?

注意句中的to tell you the truth是固定短语，表示“说实话；坦白说”。

在使用该短语时，要注意两点：

一是该短语是用来修饰整个句子的，所以要用逗号和后面的句子隔开；
二是要注意不能省略to，否则这个短语就变成祈使句“tell you the truth”了。

此外，该短语也可以简化为：

To the truth

如：

To tell the truth, I don't really like her.
说实话，我并不喜欢她。
