情景模式：

1. 情景：你去朋友家参加聚会，距离朋友家很远的地方你就听到大家的欢声笑语，你可以套用这个句型来形容这种情景：

There is something+表示地点介词短语。

源于台词：There's a muffled reply behind the door.

2. 情景：保姆带着你的孩子上街的时候，可是没注意照管她，让她遇到了车祸而夭折，当你看到心爱的孩子的尸体时，你觉得可怕得难以言表，可以这么说：

Something is too awful for any words.

源于台词：It is too awful for any words.

3. 情景：我们表述名单上有某人的名字，就套用这个句型：

Somebody is on the passenger list.

源于台词：They are on the passenger list.

4. 情景：在古时候，一个家族是很大的，这个家族会雇佣很多下人，那么下人就得伺候主人，主人经常说些重要的事情的时候，就叫下人回避，这样的话可以这么说：

That will be all for the moment.

源于台词：That will be all for the moment.

5 情景： 表示一个起床没有，我们有很多的表达，上期说到的用sb. is off，今天我们可以用这句话：

Sb. is awake.

源于台词：Is her Ladyship awake?
