3.详细解说

1.“get to”在口语中可以表示“开始，着手，开始处理”，“to”为介词，后面可以接代词、名词或动名词。例如：He got to thinking
that she wouldrt't come after all.（他开始觉得她最终不会来了。）She gets to worrying over nothing at all.（她开始没来由地担心
起来。）注意，“get to do sth.”则表示“有机会做某事”，在口语中也很常用，例如：We got to meet all the stars after the show.
（演出结束后我们有机会见到了所有的名星。）She gets to travel all over the country with her job.（她因为工作关系有机会在全国到
处旅。）
2.“discuss sth. with sb.”的意思是“与某人讨论某事”。
3.“be supposed to do sth.”的意思是“被期望…，应该…”。

“No”，你会用吗

通常我们大家都认为，只要一说出“No”，就表示否定了，事实真的就是如此吗？一起来看看下面的例子：
A: Have you heard of anything about Mr. Smith?
B： No.
A: He has got lung cancer.
B: Oh, no! Poor man.
A: By the way, you don't smoke, do you?
B： No．
A: Can I smoke here?
B: No．
对话中出现的四个“No”分别是什么意思呢？
第一个“No”是对对方问题作出的否定答复，表示“没有”。
第二个“No”是感叹词，用来表达对所听到的不幸事情的惊叹。
第三个“No”是根据自己的实际情况进行的答复，意为“我不吸烟”。
第四个“No”表示不同意对方的请求，意为“不行”。
