课文内容：

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!’

Notes on the text 课文注释

1 on Sundays，指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。

2 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。

3 I’m coming to see you．在这句话中现在进行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要进行的动作。

4 Dear me！天哪！这也是一个感叹句。

参考译文

那是个星期天，而在星期天我是从来不早起的，有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天，我起得很晚。我望望窗外，外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气！”我想，“又下雨了。”正在这时，电话铃响了。是我姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车，”她说，“我这就来看你。”
