起床太晚
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'
'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.
'What are you doing?' she asked.
'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.
'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'
【课文翻译】

“但我还在吃早饭,”我说。
“你在干什么?”她问道。
“我正在吃早饭,”我又说了一遍。
“天啊,”她说,“你总是起得这么晚吗?现在已经1点钟了!”

【知识点讲解】
1 get up [短语] (使)起床
get up 还有①起身、站起(相当于stand up);②(海浪、风等)增强、变猛烈的意思。
例句:Everyone get up when the manager came in.
当经理走进来时每个人都站立起来了。
2 sometimes 有时候
sometime,sometimes,some time,some times用法区别
sometime
(1)副词:某个时候。可指过去或将来的某个时候。
(2)形容词:(指某人曾经是……)从前的,过去的,意思类似former,偶尔的。
例句:We’ll take our holiday sometime in August.
我们会在八月找个时间度假。(将来)
This is our sometime general manager.
这是我们的前任总经理。(过去)
sometimes 副词:有时候。另外,at times也是“有时”的意思。
例句:Sometimes, I recall the campus life.
有时候,我会回想起大学生活。
some time 某段时间。常与for连用。
例句:I will stay here for some time.
我将在这儿待一段时间。
some times 几次。several times也可以表示“几次”,但比some times较确定。time作可数名词时可作“次数”解;表示“时间”时是不可数名词。
例句:He has been to America some times.
他去过几次美国。
3 outside adv. 在外面;向外面,也可表示在户外。
例句:I am cleaning the house, please wait outside for several minutes.
我正在打扫屋子,请在外等几分钟。
4 on sundays,指每个星期日。星期几的前面要用介词on。
例句:I usually go hiking on Friday.
我通常在星期五去远足。
5 What a day!
多么糟糕的天气!这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is!英语中的感叹句常用what开头,后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词),然后是主语和谓语,句尾用感叹号,即其基本形式是:What+(a)名词+主谓结构。使用what感叹句时要注意:如果what后面是可数名词单数,则一定要加不定冠词。what后面的名词词组不能加定冠词。
例句:What a happy day we had yesterday!
昨天真是开心的一天!
What bad news it was!
真是个坏消息!
6 I'm coming to see you.
在这句话中,是用现在进行时表示近期计划或安排将要进行的动作。
具有这种语法功能的词仅限于过渡性动词,比如:come, go, leave, start, arrive, return等。
例句:My aunt is coming tonight.
我姨妈今晚要来。
