新概念第一册 55-56 课文详解及练习答案
课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.go to work, 上班。
由动词 go 引导的短语课文中还有：go to school（上学）， go to bed（上床睡觉）。请注意 work, school
以及 bed 之前不带任何冠词。
2.stay at home, 呆在家里。
与 stay home 在意思上相差无几。前者中的 home 是名词，后者中的 home 是副词。
3.do the housework, 料理家务。
housework 是不可数名词。请比较：do the homework（做作业）。
4.at night, 在夜里。
如果说某日夜里，则用介词 on: on the night of June 2 在 6 月 2 日的夜里
