练习材料：

I arrived in London at last. The railway stationwas big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked aporter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. Theporter, however, could not understand me; I repeated my question several timesand at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly norclearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could notunderstand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and Ilooked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it.'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaksa different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understandthem! Do they speak English?

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）porter 守门人，门房，行李搬运工

（2）at last为固定短语，表示“终于”，一般暗指经过一番等待、麻烦(苦恼)或努力之后

（3）I not only spoke English very carefully，butvery clearly as well.

　　我的英语讲得不但非常认真，而且咬字也非常清楚。

not only…but…as well 这组连接词与 not only…but also是同样的意思，都表示“不但……而且……”，not only与 but后面的成分必须对等。课文中的这句话可以改为 I spoke English not only very carefully， but very clearly as well。

（4）You'll soon learn English! 你会很快学会英语。

这句不太懂怎么理解成译文这个意思。我自己一开始还以为是“你会很快开始学英语”。后面查了一下才发现learn有学会，学到的意思，侧重学习的成果，如果指学习过程的话，要用study。

练习感悟：

    本文的情况也是很真实了，我自己去国外的时候就发现，根本没办法用学习学的英语跟别人交流，听不懂，也半天憋不出一句。
