Lesson 41 Do you call that hat
Text 课文
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What kind of shopping does the writer enjoy, do you think
'Do you call that a hat ' I said to my wife.
'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.
I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!

Grammar focus 语法
1. Do you call that a hat 你把那个叫帽子吗？
call sth. sth.表示把什么叫做什么。如：
We all call him Iron Ox.
我们都称他“铁牛”。
2. You needn't be so rude about it. 你说话没必要这样不客气。
need作情态动词时，表示需要，一般用于否定句或疑问句。上句中的need即作情态动词用于否定句。need也可以用于疑问句，如：
Need I do it at once No,you needn't.
我需要立刻做它吗？不，你不必。
need作实义动词时的用法如下：
a. need to do sth. 需要做某事。如：
He needed to drink some water.
他需要喝些水.
b. need doing sth. 需要被做某事。如：
The flowers need watering every day.
花需要被每天浇水。
c. need后直接加名词，如：
I need some change to take the bus.
我需要些零钱乘公共汽车。
3. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. 我坐在一个新式的满是网眼儿的椅子上，等待着。
整句话是一个由and连接的并列句，因为and前后的句子主语相同，所以省略了and后面句子的主语I。
在and前面的句子中with holes in it是一个介词短语，作后置定语用来修饰前面的chairs。什么样的椅子呢？满是网眼儿的椅子。
4. 'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. 我们不应该买我们不需要的东西，我突然发表意见说。
这是一个定语从句，we don't need是用来修饰前面的先行词things。什么样的东西呢？我们不需要的东西。本句中的need是一个实义动词，表示需要。
remarked在此相当于said表示说，不过remark表示比较正式的说。remark可以用作动词表示说，也可以用作名词表示说的话、言论等。如：
The professor remarked: This is a beautiful fairy tale.
这位教授说：这是个美丽的童话故事。
His remarks were attacked in the newspaper.
他的言论在报纸上受到了抨击。
5. I regretted saying it almost at once. 我马上又后悔说了这话。
regret doing sth.表示为做过某件事而感到后悔。如：
I regret having made the mistake.
我后悔犯了那个错误。
而regret to do sth.表示对现在或将来要做的事情感到遗憾、抱歉。如：
I regret to say that I cannot help you this time.
我很抱歉地说，这次我帮不上你的忙。
I regret to tell you that we cannot stay here any longer.
我遗憾地告诉你，我们不能再在这儿多呆了。
6. 'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 你没必要这么说，我的妻子回答道。
needn't have done表示过去本来用不着做某事，而实际上已经做了。如：
You needn't have waited for me.
你本不需要等我的。
We spent a lot of money that we needn't have spent.
我们花了很多本来不需要花的钱。
7. I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday. 我也不必提醒你昨天买的那条糟糕透了的领带。
remind sb. of sth.表示使某人想起某事。如：
You remind me of my ex-girlfriend.
你使我想起我的前任女友。
remind sb. to do sth.表示提醒某人去做某事。如：
Please remind me to get up on time.
请提醒我及时起床。
8. 'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.' 我说，我觉得它好看，男人有多少领带也不会嫌多。
在句子I find it beautiful中，it作动词find的宾语，beautiful作宾语补足语，起补充说明的作用。
can never…too这个结构表示无论……也不过分。如：
You can never be too careful while driving.
开车时，你再小心也不为过。
