请一定小心。

我完全同意你的意见。

3. You never know until you try something.
try的用法
1)做名词 have a try 试一试
e.g. Why not have a try?
为什么不试一试?
2)做动词
(1) try to do sth. 努力做某事
e.g. Well, we'll try to finish the homework in time.
那好,我们争取及时完成作业。
(2) try doing sth. 表示尝试着做某事
e.g. -- I usually go there by train.
我通常乘火车去那儿。
-- Why not try going by boat for a change?

(3) try one's best 尽某人最大的努力
e.g. Thank you. I will try my best.
谢谢你。我会尽力而为的。
4. I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.
suggest作动词,可意为“显示;间接表明”,后可接宾语从句。
e.g. His behavior suggested (that) he was a kind man.
他的行为显示他是个好人。
suggest作“建议”讲时,应注意以下两点:
1)suggest doing sth. 建议做某事
e.g. I suggested going home.
我建议回家。
2)suggest后接从句时,从句常用虚拟语气,谓语由“should+动词原形”构成,should可以省略。
e.g. I suggested that we should go home.
我建议我们回家。
另外,suggestion是suggest的名词形式,作“建议”讲时,是可数名词。
e.g. Do you have any suggestions?
你有什么建议吗?
5. It serves delicious food.
serve在这句话的意思是“供应”
Could you serve us tea and coffee?
你能供给我们茶和咖啡吗?

(2012泰安中考)-- I want a ticket to Shanghai this afternoon please.
-- OK. Will you please ______ me your ID card?
A. tell B. serve C. send D. show
【解析】考查动词辨析。tell“告诉”,serve“招待”,send“发送”,show“出示”。根据句意:上句“我要一张今天下午去上海的票”下句“好吧,请出示你的身份证”,所以答案选D。
我们从上午六点半到九点半供应早餐。(serve)
We serve breakfast from 6:30 to 9:30 in the morning.
6. ... pass by Uncle Bob's.
Uncle Bob's中's属格后的名词省略掉了。's属格后的名词如指商店、家宅等地点时,该名词常省略。
at the doctor's 在诊所
go to my uncle's 去我叔叔家
7. Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.
staff n. 管理人员;职工;员工
I find the hotel staff particularly friendly.
我发现饭店员工特别友好。

这家公司有50名职员。
Mr. Wang is a staff of France airline.
王先生是法国航空公司的一名职员。

staff用以指“工作人员”的总称时,是集合名词,不用复数。作主语时,如强调整体,谓语动词用单数;如强调其成员个人,谓语动词用复数。
4. The restaurant is always busy at that time, so come a little earlier to get a table.
用于“就餐”的语境时,形容词busy相当于“吃饭人多;餐厅拥挤”的意思;动词短语to get a table类似于汉语“定餐;占位子”等意思。
