MR WILLIAMS: Can you remember the doctor's telephone number?
MRS WILLIAMS: Yes. It's 09754.
DOCTOR: Open your mouth, Jimmy. Show me your tongue. Say, 'Ah'.
MR WILLIMAMS: What's the matter with him, doctor?
DOCTOR: He has a bad cold, Mr Williams, so he must stay in bed for a week.
MRS WILLIAMS: That's good news for Jimmy.
DOCTOR: Good news? Why?
MR WILLIAMS: Because he doesn't like school!

1. fell ill, 感觉病了；look ill, 看起来有病。
   前者指自我感觉，后者指外表形象。ill是表语，look和feel都是系动词，可像am/is/are那样，后面跟形容词。

2. …so he must stay in bed for a week.……因此他必须卧床休息一周。so表示"因此"、"所以"。for可以引出一段时间，表示某个动作持续多少时间。又如：

   • for two hours each day 每天两小时

3. That's good news for Jimmy. 对吉米来说，这可是个好消息。句中的news是不可数名词，不是复数形式。
