1. Would you like to live in a palace, Eddie? 埃迪，你愿意住在宫殿吗？

would you like to do something 带有委婉的语气，可以用来征求意见、提出建议或发出邀请。如：

Would you like to go shopping with me?

你愿意和我一起去买东西吗？

肯定回答：Yes, I’d love/like to. 或

Sure, that sounds great. 否定回答：I’d love/like to, but I … 或

Thank you, but I’m afraid I …

2. Hobo: There are twenty restaurants in town. Which is your favourite? 城里有二十家餐馆，你最喜欢哪个？

Eddie: The biggest one in Fifth Street! 第五街最大的一个！

句中in town 意思是“在城里”，town 前无需定冠词the。这里biggest是big的最高级，意思是“最大的”。

句中的one指代上文中所提到的restaurant。it 也具有指代作用，两者区别是one指代的是同一类事物，而it指代的是同一个事物。如：

This book is very interesting. Would you like to have a look at it?

这本书很有趣，你想看看吗？

3. No. I’d like to live next to a restaurant.

不。我想挨着餐馆住。

next to是个短语介词，意为“在……旁边”。如：

The school is next to the park.

学校在公园旁边。

【运用】将下面的句子翻译成英语。

杰克在大卫的旁边。
