课文注释
1 on Sundays，指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。
2 What a day！
多么糟糕的天气！
这是一个省略的感叹句。
完整的句子应该是What a day it is！
英语中的感叹句常用what开头，后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词)，然后是主语和谓语，句尾用感叹号。
3 I'm coming to see you．
在这句话中现在进行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要进行的动作。
4 Dear me！天哪！这也是一个感叹句。
参考译文
那是个星期天，而在星期天我是从来不早起的，有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天，我起得很晚。我望望窗外，外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气！”我想，“又下雨了。”正在这时，电话铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车，”她说，“我这就来看你。”
“但我还在吃早饭，”我说。
“你在干什么？”她问道。
“我正在吃早饭，”我又说了一遍。
“天啊，”她说，“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经1点钟了！”

上星期我去看戏。我的座位很好，戏很有意思，但我却无法欣赏。一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后，大声地说着话。我非常生气，因为我听不见演员在说什么。我回过头去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不见了！”
“不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话！”
学习建议：
1.先听两遍，不看文本；2.看文本，听两遍；3.不看译文，自己尝试翻译一遍；4.看译文，对比自己的翻译；5.朗读，模仿发音；6.看中文，尝试翻译成英文；7.听写；8.背诵。以上8个步骤，坚持下来，可以综合提高大家的听说读写译五个方面。当然，每个同学也可以根据自己情况选择完成。如有任何疑问，私信我。
