Read and learn
Amy: Steve, have you decided yet which book to write about for English class?
Steve: Yes, Little Women. I've already finished reading it!
Amy: Wow, you're fast! What's it about?
Steve: It's about four sisters growing up. It was really good, so I couldn't put it down. Which book did you choose?
Amy: I chose Treasure Island, but I haven't finished reading it yet. I'm only on page 25.
Steve: Have you at least read the back of the book to see what it's about?
Amy: Yes, I have. It looks interesting.
Steve: You should hurry up. The book report is due in two weeks.
Amy: Yes, I know. I'll read quickly.
2. Have you at least read the back of the book to see what it's about?
至少你已经读过书的背面，了解了它的大致内容吧？
此句中的动词see表示“（通过查看、打听等）弄清、了解；查看、发现（信息或事实）”。作这种用法时，see常接how，what，when等引导的宾语从句。
e.g. He agreed to go with me to see what was wrong.
他同意跟我去了解一下毛病出在哪里。
First of all, we need to take some time to see how it works.
首先，我们需要花些时间了解一下它是如何运作的。
3. You should hurry up.
你需要加快速度。
e.g. Hurry up, or we cannot get to the railway station on time.
快些，否则我们不能按时赶到火车站了。
4. Steve: ... The book report is due in two weeks.
Amy: Yes, I know... 是的，我知道……
（1）due adj. 预定；预期；预计
后边引出预期的时间、地点等，还常常构成短语be due (to do something)或be due (for something)。
e.g. Our plane is due at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 12:30.
我们的飞机预计于12:30降落在上海虹桥国际机场。
Rose is due to start school in January.
罗丝一月份就要开始上学了。
You are due for a medical examination next month.
你的身体检查预定在下个月。
（2）I know表示说话人对所谈的观点、内容已了解，无需多说，相当于汉语中“我早知道了；我全都了解”这样的意思，区别于许多日常交际场合中表示“我明白了；我知道了；我懂了”的用法。
e.g. A: It's already very late. You should get some rest.
已经很晚了，你应该休息了。
B: Well, I know. Thanks.
对，我是知道的。谢谢。
注意，当我们获知对方提供的信息后，常用I see.表示“我知道了；我明白了；我懂了”。
e.g. A: He lives in the countryside but works in the city during the week.
他住在乡下，但工作日在城里上班。
B: Oh, I see.
哦，我知道了。
