外婆，好想多一些了解你

有外婆的夏天，格外像夏天，温和的胖老太太讲话轻声细语，走路没有声响，静静地在屋里削土豆、泡茶、剥豆子。我们一放暑假就扎堆儿去乡下。
早上外婆会叫我或我妹去摸几个鸡蛋，刚生的蛋还热热的。外婆常给我们做米酒蛋汤，一人一碗。现在看来，是难得的绿色无污染食品，怪不得我们家的人个个身体倍儿棒。
午后午休，她拿扇子给我们赶蚊子，怕吵醒我们，动作轻柔。我挨着她睡，她的皮肤松弛，好凉好舒服。外婆身上有种令人极度安心的味儿，可能来自棉布、花露水，或者烧饭的油烟。我问外婆，房顶上咚咚咚的是什么声音啊？她说：“是猫在跑呢，睡吧。”

厨房里用的词：
1. 削：削土豆皮，削苹果皮
2. 剥：剥花生，剥豆子，剥香蕉皮，剥桔子皮，剥大蒜皮，
3. 泡：泡茶，泡黄豆，把大米泡一下
4. 烧：烧饭；烧烤，烧茄子，红烧鱼，红烧肉
5. 汤：鸡汤，骨头汤，鸡蛋汤，米酒蛋汤，蔬菜汤
6. 油烟：做饭的时候油烟比较大；油烟机

The Jerome Meadows Experience

Bribery & Corruption

JOYCE: Should we take a taxi or a bus to the mall?
BILL: Let’s take a bus. It’s impossible to get a taxi during 
rush hour.
JOYCE: Isn’t that a bus stop over there?
BILL: Yes ... Oh! There’s a bus now. We’ll have to run to 
catch it.
JOYCE: Oh, no! We just missed it.
BILL: No problem. There’ll be another one in 10 minutes.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Should we … or …? Is a way of asking “Which is better?” “Should” is used to ask 
for an opinion. Note that we do not say “Will” here.
• Take a taxi or a bus? The word “or” signals a choice here. Notice the rising 
intonation on taxi (the first choice) and falling intonation on bus (the second choice).
• Let’s (Let us) means “I think we should do this.”
• Rush hour is the time of day when most people are going to or from work. In most 
American cities, rush hour is from about 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. and from about 4:30 to 
6:30 p.m. Notice that “rush hour” is a compound noun, with the main stress on the 
first word.
• Isn’t that This is a negative question. The speaker expects an affirmative answer. It 
is used to check information.
• Bus stop is a compound noun, with the main stress on the first word.
• Oh! is an exclamation used to express alarm or surprise.
• Oh, no! is an expression used to express disappointment.
• We just missed it here means “We arrived a moment too late to get the bus.” 
Notice the emphasis on “just” to show the very recent past.
• No problem here means “It doesn’t matter.
