第四十九课　家庭生活有关的词汇
一.本课要点及示例

在这一课里, 我们学习几个很有用的常用语, 比方 "打定主意" make up one's mind, "解决" work out, "应付" cope with 等等. 我们还要学习一些跟家庭生活有 关系的词汇.

首先我们依照惯例听一段对话, 内容说到亨利的同事南希要跟丈夫史蒂夫分 居的事情. 请你注意两位英文老师的发音和语调.

M: Kate, Nancy and Steve are breaking up.

F: It's really a shame. I've heard that they quarrel, but they've always made up afterward.

M: Things are not working out this time. They are getting a separation soon.

F: What is going to happen to their daughter, Bonnie?

M: Nancy is going to take her.

F: The cost of living is so high. It will be difficult for her to take the responsibility. She had better think the whole thing over.

M: She seems to have made up her mind. She said she would rather be a single parent than cope with an unhappy marriage.

F: Well, I hope her parents will be able to talk her out of it.
