| 词频 | K2 |
| 基本义 | 空闲时间,业余时间 |
| 课文原句 | You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet! |
用法解析:

同义替换:
- free time(最常用)

课文妙处: 姐姐说 “read the carpet” 是幽默的反讽——因为地毯上全是书,所以”读地毯”就等于”读书”。
2.9 at all

| 基本义 | (用于否定/疑问/条件句)根本;究竟 |

2.10 rather
| 项目 | 内容 |
|---|---|
| 词性 | 副词 (adverb) |
| 词频 | K1 |
| 基本义 | 相当,颇(表示程度) |
| 课文原句 | …the room is rather small… |
用法解析:
- rather + 形容词/副词 = 相当…,颇…(英国英语常用)

|---|---|---|
| 弱 | a bit / a little | 有点儿 |
| 中- | quite(英)/ fairly | 相当 |
| 中 | rather | 颇,相当 |

英美差异:
- 英国英语:rather 常用,可修饰褒义/贬义

课文语境: rather small = 相当小(暗示”比预期小”,带有轻微不满)
2.11 over
| 项目 | 内容 |
|---|---|
| 词性 | 介词/副词/形容词 |
| 词频 | K1 |
| 基本义 | ①超过(数量)②在…上方 ③遍及 |
| 课文原句 | …I own over a thousand books. |
用法解析: 本课中 over 作介词,表示”超过”(= more than),用于数量前。
over 核心用法:
| 用法 | 含义 | 例句 |

| 数量超过 | = more than | over 1,000 people |
| 时间超过 | 超过(某时间段) | over the past decade |
| 空间上方 | 在…上方 | The lamp hangs over the table. |
| 覆盖遍及 | 遍及,遍布 | all over the world |
| 控制/超过 | 胜过,优于 | She has an advantage over him. |

同义替换(数量):
- over a thousand = more than a thousand = upwards of a thousand
易混辨析:
| 词 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|

| above | 高于(位置/水平) | above sea level |
| more than | 多于(最通用) | more than enough |

2.12 inch
| 项目 | 内容 |
|---|---|
| 词性 | 名词 (noun) |
| 词频 | K2 |
| 基本义 | 英寸(长度单位) |
| 课文原句 | …they cover every inch of floor space… |
用法解析:
- inch = 英寸,1 inch = 2.54 cm = 1/12 foot
- 复数形式:inches
习语用法(更重要):
| 习语 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| every inch | 完全地;从头至尾 | Every inch of the room was covered. |
| every inch a… | 十足,完完全全 | He is every inch a gentleman. |

| not give/budge an inch | 寸步不让 | He refused to give an inch. |
| within an inch of | 差点儿,险些 | He came within an inch of dying. |
课文语境分析:
…they cover every inch of floor space…
此处 every inch 是强调性习语,表示”每一寸”、“完完全全”,夸张地强调书占满了整个地板。
单位换算:
| 单位 | 换算关系 |
|---|---|
| 1 inch | = 2.54 cm |
| 12 inches | = 1 foot (ft) = 30.48 cm |
| 36 inches | = 1 yard (yd) = 0.9144 m |
