II. Key Points 重點提示
- in fact 事實上
fact [f?kt] n.事實
本短語通常置于句首,之后置逗號,再接主句。
例: Mike likes Jessica. In fact, I think he loves her.
(邁克喜歡杰西卡。事實上,我認為他愛上她了。) - have a bad cold 患重感冒
cold [kold] n. 感冒
例: You have a bad cold. You should take some medicine.
(你患了重感冒,你應該吃些藥。) - be getting better (病)漸漸好起來
此處better是形容詞well(身體健康的)的比較級

(甲:你還是覺得不舒服嗎?)
(乙:是的,但我好多了。)
