VOA Lesson 3: I'm Here! 我在这里:完整学习指南
这是一篇面向英语初学者的 VOA Let's Learn English Level 1 Lesson 3 学习指南。本课围绕“打电话找朋友和询问附近地点”展开,重点练习 Is this ...?、You have the wrong number.、I am sorry.、Is there ... near here? 以及 at + 具体地址。
这节课学什么?
Anna 搬进新公寓后想做晚饭,却不知道附近有没有超市。她先拨打 Marsha 的工作电话,但第一次打错了号码;礼貌道歉后,她再次确认号码,终于联系上 Marsha,并问到了超市的地址。
本课适合重点掌握:
- 在电话中确认对方身份:
Is this Marsha? - 听到打错电话时作出回应:
You have the wrong number. - 礼貌地道歉和结束错误通话:
I am sorry. / Excuse me. - 询问附近是否有某个地点:
Is there a supermarket near here? - 用
at表达具体门牌地址,用here / there区分“这里”和“那里”。
先听对话,再学习句型
建议先完整听一遍 Conversation,先判断 Anna 为什么打电话、第一次通话发生了什么,再回到课程页逐句跟读。
一、情景和事件顺序
可以按下面的顺序复述本课:
- Anna 搬进了新公寓,想做晚饭。
- 她想找一家附近的超市,于是拨打 Marsha 的工作号码。
- 第一次通话打错了,接电话的人告诉她:
You have the wrong number. - Anna 礼貌道歉,再次确认号码后联系上 Marsha。
- Marsha 告诉她,超市在 Irving Street 1500 号,离公寓很近。
可以先用三句话复述:
Anna wants to cook dinner.
She calls Marsha about a supermarket.
The supermarket is at 1500 Irving Street.
二、核心句型
1. Is this ...?:电话中确认身份
电话里不能直接看见对方,通常用 Is this + 人名? 确认接电话的人是不是自己要找的人:
| 英语表达 | 含义 | 使用提示 |
|---|---|---|
| Is this Marsha? | 这是 Marsha 吗? | 适合电话开头确认身份 |
| Hello, is this the bookstore? | 你好,这是书店吗? | 也可以确认机构或地点 |
| This is Anna. | 我是 Anna。 | 电话中介绍自己 |
Is this Marsha? 比面对面时的 Are you Marsha? 更符合电话场景。回答时可以说 Yes, this is Marsha. 或 No, you have the wrong number.
2. You have the wrong number.:你打错号码了
wrong 表示“错误的”,the wrong number 表示“错误的电话号码”。完整表达是:
You have the wrong number.
I am sorry.
Oh, excuse me.
打错电话时,先听懂对方的提示,再用 I am sorry. 或 Excuse me. 礼貌回应。不要把 wrong number 直译成“号码是错的”;在这个句子中,主语 you 表示“你拨到了错误的号码”。
3. Is there ... near here?:这里附近有……吗?
Is there + 单数名词 + near here? 用来询问附近是否有某个地点或物品:
Is there a supermarket near here?
Is there a bank near here?
Is there a bus stop near here?
回答时可以说:
Yes, there is.
No, there is not.
The supermarket is at 1500 Irving Street.
询问地点时,near here 是“在这里附近”,不是“在这里面”。如果要表达“在那边”,可以使用 over there。
4. here 和 there
| 表达 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| here | 这里 | I am here. |
| there | 那里 | You are there. |
| near here | 这里附近 | Is there a supermarket near here? |
| over there | 那边 | The store is over there. |
here 和 there 是地点副词,通常直接放在句子中表达位置:I am here.、The supermarket is there.
5. at 和 on 表达地址
说具体门牌号时使用 at:
The supermarket is at 1500 Irving Street.
Marsha works at 1400 Irving Street.
只说“在某条街上”时,常用 on:
There is a store on Irving Street.
还要注意完整句需要 be 动词:The supermarket is at ...,不能说 The supermarket at ...。
三、重点词汇和短语
| 词汇 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| cook | 做饭 | I want to cook dinner. |
| dinner | 晚饭 | Dinner is ready. |
| excuse | 原谅;请问 | Excuse me. |
| find | 找到;寻找 | I want to find a supermarket. |
| here | 这里 | I am here. |
| live | 居住;生活 | I live with Marsha. |
| near | 在……附近;附近的 | The store is near the apartment. |
| sorry | 抱歉的 | I am sorry. |
| supermarket | 超市 | There is a supermarket near here. |
| there | 那里 | You are there. |
| want | 想要 | I want to cook dinner. |
| wrong | 错误的 | You have the wrong number. |
四、听力和跟读方法
建议分三轮完成:
- 第一轮只听大意:Anna 为什么打电话?她最后找到了什么?
- 第二轮看字幕跟读:重点模仿
Is this ...?、I am sorry.和near here。 - 第三轮遮住中文复述:把超市替换成 bank、library 或 restaurant,自己重新提问和回答。
跟读时先保证 is this、wrong number、near here 这些词块完整,再逐渐练习自然连读。不要只逐个单词朗读,否则电话对话会显得断开。

可以把本课拆成几张小卡片:
- 正面:电话中确认“这是 Marsha 吗?”;背面:
Is this Marsha? - 正面:如何说“你打错号码了?”;背面:
You have the wrong number. - 正面:如何礼貌道歉?;背面:
I am sorry. / Excuse me. - 正面:如何询问附近有没有超市?;背面:
Is there a supermarket near here? - 正面:具体门牌地址使用哪个介词?;背面:
at 1500 Irving Street
每张卡只保留一个判断点。第一次复习时先看情景说英语,想不起来时再翻面核对,比反复阅读整篇文章更容易发现自己真正不会的地方。
结语:用一个电话场景练会地点表达
Lesson 3 的重点不是背下一整段电话,而是掌握一套可以替换的表达:先用 Is this ...? 确认身份,打错时用 I am sorry. 礼貌结束,再用 Is there ... near here? 询问地点,最后用 at + 地址 说清楚位置。
Hello. Is this the library?
No, you have the wrong number.
Oh, I am sorry. Is there a library near here?
