六、信息还原
(2025 南通如皋期中)Is there anywhere more important than home? We may have many homes during our lives but it is often the place we feel most safe. We use the word "home" in many English expressions. Maybe that also makes it clear how important the home is to us.
If our homes are safe and happy, when we get back to them, we might say, " 1 " just like Dorothy famously does in the film The Wizard of Oz. This means that there isn't anywhere else that is as good as home.
However, if we find ourselves somewhere that feels comfortable and homely, we could say we feel "at home". 2
We can also feel at home in a new job or feel at home with someone, meaning that we feel comfortable with them. Or as Elvis Presley sang, " 3 " This means that the place we feel at home may not be a building but a place that we love and where we feel loved, maybe where our family and friends are.
4 Scoring a home run (本垒打) in baseball is very common. But when a team, person or animal has finished something at last, we might say that they are "home and dry". In Australia and New Zealand, people say "home and hosed(冲洗)". 5 They mean that the job is done and that you have time for a shower. You are "hosed" and dry!
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. There's no place like home.
C. Both expressions have the same meaning.
D. Home is always the place we go to share our joy.
E. This could be at school, a friend's house or on holiday.
F. There are also times that we use "home" expressions in sport.
