｛
2. In the early 1800s, Sunday was the “holy day”.
在19世纪早期，星期日的含义就是“神圣的一天”。1800s表示19世纪，同样的，1900s则表示20世纪。in the 1800s 在 19 世纪；
in the 1920s 在 20 世纪 20 年代；in the early 1800s 在 19 世纪早期；before 1800 在1800年以前；in 1800 在1800年； by1930 到1930年；表“世纪或年代”用“in + the +(年数s)”如：In the 1800s 在19世纪；（注意：要用 the, 年数后加s,而表示具体的某一年不用the, 也不加s, 如：in 2009 ）
3. And then they felt too tired to work on Monday mornings.
到了星期一上午他们都太累了以致于不能工作。(1) a. too..... to..... 意为“太……而不能……”， too 前用否定词（never）时，表示肯定。It’s never too late to learn. 活到老，学到老。 b. too....to...意为“太……而不……”表示否定意义时，可用not.....enough 或so..... that 否定句来改写。 He is too young to go to school. = He isn’t old enough to go to school.= He is so young that he can’t go to school.
他太小了不能去上学。
(2) on 介词， 表示在具体的某一天或某一天的上、下午及晚上时，要用介词on。on Sunday morning 在星期天的早晨；
on a cold morning in July 七月一个寒冷的早上；
at 7:00 在七点；
at noon 在中午；
in the morning 在早上。
4. In the USA, workers called them“blue Mondays”.
在美国，工人们把它们叫做“蓝色星期一”。蓝色（blue）在汉语中的引申意义较少，而在英语中blue是一个含义十分丰富的颜色词。在翻译同这一颜色有关的表达时，我们应该注意其中的特别含义。
英语的blue常用来喻指人的“情绪低落”、“心情沮丧”、“忧愁若闷”，如：They felt rather blue after the failure in the football game.球赛踢输了，他们感到有些沮丧。
类似的表达： black tea 红茶； white elephant 笨蛋； a Red Man 印第安人； a grey day 阴天；知识拓展：blue moon 不可能或稀有的时期或事情；The story is just a blue moon.
这个故事根本就是件不可能的事。
5. At one o’clock,everyone stopped working.
在一点钟，所有的人停止工作。stop doing sth. 意为“停止做某事”，指停止做原来的事情 。stop to do sth. 指的是停下来（手头的事）去做另外一件事。Hearing the doorbell,she stopped washing the dishes.
听见门铃声，她停止洗碗了。类似的有：go on doing sth. 继续做某事（同件事）；go on to do sth. 接着去做某事（另件事）。
6. This is the beginning of the idea of the weekend in England.
这就是周末这一想法在英国的雏形。
the beginning of 表“…的开始”；
at the beginning of 表“在…的开始”；如： at the beginning of the month 在月初。
