📌 先看这里:这一课讲什么
  • 作者的罗伊叔叔是修车工,手常年油腻腻的也不在乎,每周日来吃饭时总能逗全家笑。
  • 开头一句就交代人物关系和职业,是英文人物介绍最常见的开场方式:关系 + 身份。
  • 句子比同系列其他人物短文稍长,出现了 "but" 这种简单连接词,适合刚过 A1 门槛的读者练习。
  • 生词集中在「职业/工作场所」这类主题:mechanic、garage、tool、overalls。

重点内容


原文 / 段落

My Uncle Roy

My Uncle Roy is my dad's brother, and he is a car mechanic. He works in a big garage near our house. The garage is often very noisy because of the car engines.

Uncle Roy fixes all types of cars and vans. He has many different tools, and his hands are often dirty, but he doesn't mind. He wears special blue overalls to protect his clothes. He is very strong and also very funny. He always tells good jokes when he visits us on a Sunday for lunch.

理解要点

  • 开头一句就交代人物关系(my dad's brother)和职业,读英文人物介绍时先找这两条信息通常最快。
  • "he doesn't mind" 这种让步表达(手脏,但他不在意)常常是短文用来体现人物性格的关键句,别当成细节跳过。
  • 最后一句把「叔叔」和「家人聚会」连起来(Sunday lunch 讲笑话),让人物从职业描述变成有温度的家人形象。
