參考譯文：
上星期我去看戲。我的座位很好，戲很有意思，但我卻無法欣賞。一青年男子與一青年女子坐在我的身后，大聲地說這話。我非常生氣，因?yàn)槲衣牪灰娧輪T在說什么。我回過頭去怒視著那一男一女，他們卻毫不理會(huì)。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回過頭去，生氣地說：“我一個(gè)字也聽不見了！”
“不關(guān)你的事，”那男的毫不客氣地說，“這是私人間的談話！”
【課文講解】
1、Last week I went to the theatre.
動(dòng)詞go的原義是離開一個(gè)地方去另一個(gè)地方，與介詞to連用后，常加在主語所要去的目的來代表主語的動(dòng)作目的。
Go to the+地點(diǎn) 表示去某地干嘛
Go to the theatre = go to the theatre to see a play 去劇場(chǎng)看戲
Go to the cinema = see a film 去電影院看電影
Go to the dairy/show/bank/post office 去牛奶店/去看表演/去銀行/去郵局
Go to the +sb’s表示去找個(gè)人開的店
Go to the doctor’s去看病 go to the butcher’s買肉
以下短語中名詞前不加冠詞：
Go to school 去上學(xué)；go to church去做禮拜；go to hospital去看病；go to bed上床睡覺；go home(跟home相連一定表示沒有事情可做，回家休息)
I’m at home.我在家休息
2、I had a very good seat
Seat一般指戲院、汽車等配置的固定座位，也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”等概念。
The front seat of a car汽車的前座
Take a seat,please 請(qǐng)坐
3、I did not enjoy it.
Enjoy vt.欣賞 享受 喜愛
①enjoy+n. 喜歡 從當(dāng)中得到一種享受（后邊不能跟人）
I enjoy the music. enjoy the dinner/film/game/program
②enjoy oneself/代詞 玩的開心 We always enjoy ourselves
③enjoy+動(dòng)名詞 Jane doesn’t enjoy swimming.She enjoys going to the theatre.
4、I got very angry.
Get在這里有“逐漸變得”的含義，接近become，是個(gè)表示過程的動(dòng)詞，表示狀態(tài)的變化。而I was very angry則僅表示當(dāng)時(shí)的狀態(tài)是生氣，并不暗示過程。
I am /was angry是一個(gè)事實(shí) I got angry 強(qiáng)調(diào)變化過程
It is hot / It got hot Got取代be動(dòng)詞，got是一個(gè)半聯(lián)系動(dòng)詞，可以直接加形容詞。
5、I could not hear the actors.I turned round.
Hear+人：聽見某人的話
I could not hear you. Beg your pardon?
I couldn’t hear you./I couldn’t hear a word/I couldn’t catch your words
I couldn’t hear you clearly./I couldn’t catch your words.

6、I can’t hear a word!
Hear a word of sb.(a word 等于一句話)
He didn’t say a word.
May I speak to Jim?/May I have a word with Jim?
7、In the end,I couldn’t bear it.
In the end = at last 最后，終于。 表示一段較長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間之后或某種努力之后
She tried hard to finish her homework by herself . In the end,she had to ask her brother for help.
I could not bear it/you/the noise.
8、It’s none of your business.
one’s business 指某人(所關(guān)心的或份內(nèi))的事
It’s none of your business./None of your business./It’s my business 不關(guān)你的事。
It’s my business to look after your health.我必須照顧你的身體健康。
None 相當(dāng)于not any 或no one 但語氣較強(qiáng)。
She kept none of his letters.他的信件她一封也沒有保留。
None of 這個(gè)短語有時(shí)可以表達(dá)一種斷然、甚至粗暴的口氣，尤其是在祈使句中：
None of your silly remarks!別說傻話了！
