1. the Big Apple

讲解——The Big Apple 可能是纽约最出名的昵称之一了。该昵称可追溯至20世纪20年代，纽约晨报的记者葛瑞德在赛马场和黑人马夫聊天时，他得知在这些马夫眼里，纽约是个遍地黄金且充满机会的地方。他们将纽约形容为大苹果 "the Big Apple”，意思是既好看又好吃，人人都想咬上一口。

讲解——这句话的意思是: 我们不用急着马上去景点。我们先去买点食物吧。这里的 needn't 为情态动词 need 的否定形式，用于讨论不必做某事，没有义务做某事。当 need 作为情态动词时，后面直接加动词原形。
We just arrived! You can't be feeling energetic enough to walk that far.
讲解——这句话的意思是: 我们才刚到，你不可能有力气走那么远吧!这里的 can't 为情态动词 can 的否定形式，后面直接加动词原形，在句中用来表猜测，推测和预测，而不是表"不能”。

语法题——被动语态和主动语态的最佳用法，即主动和被动时态的运用，也就是我们语言的表达习惯，没有选择的那个选项，应该用主动时态，老师教这个班级的同学，会更贴合语言思维的和习惯的表达方式，而不是这个班级的同学被老师教~
