要点说明

四、课堂讨论题
1. 老师,讲稿里提到头是 'bouncing away',这个 bounce 除了指球弹跳,还能用来形容其他东西吗?比如人走路的样子?
2. 讲稿里区分了 'door' 和 'doorway',那 'doorway' 是不是只能指那个位置,而不能指门本身?
3. 这里有个词 'fraught looking young man',fraught 是紧张的意思,那 'a fraught atmosphere' 和 'a tense atmosphere' 有啥区别吗?
4. 为什么 John Hunter 留下的标本 'had never been cataloged or organized'?是因为标本太多太乱,还是因为别的什么原因?
5. 讲稿里说 'occupants' 是住在房子里的人,那 'occupy' 除了居住,还能用来指占领某个地方吗?比如军队占领城市?
五、Discussion Questions (English)
1. Teacher, the transcript says the head was 'bouncing away'. Besides describing a ball bouncing, can 'bounce' be used to describe other things, like how a person walks?
2. The transcript distinguishes between 'door' and 'doorway'. Does 'doorway' only refer to the location/opening and not the physical door itself?
3. There's a phrase 'fraught looking young man'. I know 'fraught' means tense. Is there any difference between 'a fraught atmosphere' and 'a tense atmosphere'?
4. Why were the specimens left by John Hunter 'never cataloged or organized'? Was it because there were too many and they were messy, or for some other reason?
5. The transcript says 'occupants' are people living in the house. Can 'occupy' also mean to take control of a place, like an army occupying a city?
