Cora: What? They can't have been, they weren't going over till May.

Neither of them? You must tell Mary. She can't hear about it from anyone else.

情景模式：

1. 情景：你去朋友家參加聚會(huì)，距離朋友家很遠(yuǎn)的地方你就聽到大家的歡聲笑語(yǔ)，你可以套用這個(gè)句型來形容這種情景：

There is something+表示地點(diǎn)介詞短語(yǔ)。

源于臺(tái)詞：There's a muffled reply behind the door.

2. 情景：保姆帶著你的孩子上街的時(shí)候，可是沒注意照管她，讓她遇到了車禍而夭折，當(dāng)你看到心愛的孩子的尸體時(shí)，你覺得可怕得難以言表，可以這么說：

Something is too awful for any words.

源于臺(tái)詞：It is too awful for any words.

3. 情景：我們表述名單上有某人的名字，就套用這個(gè)句型：

Somebody is on the passenger list.

源于臺(tái)詞：They are on the passenger list.

4. 情景：在古時(shí)候，一個(gè)家族是很大的，這個(gè)家族會(huì)雇傭很多下人，那么下人就得伺候主人，主人經(jīng)常說些重要的事情的時(shí)候，就叫下人回避，這樣的話可以這么說：

That will be all for the moment.

源于臺(tái)詞：That will be all for the moment.

5 情景： 表示一個(gè)起床沒有，我們有很多的表達(dá)，上期說到的用sb. is off，今天我們可以用這句話：

Sb. is awake.

源于臺(tái)詞：Is her Ladyship awake?
