9.4

(script in Student Book on p.122)

1
This is for my foodie friends. In case you thought lettuce was only for salads, here I’m cooking it in some butter with an onion. Then I add some mushrooms, chicken, fresh tomatoes, and some other things– not sure yet. Lettuce is also great in soups, or you can grill it and serve it with blue cheese.

2
We didn’t feel like cooking last night, and besides, we didn’t have any food in the house, so we decided to order some take-out salads from our wonderful local pizzeria. They were all very good, but my favorite was a chicken salad with carrots, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and some pieces of fried bread.

3
Brunch Sunday afternoon at a restaurant in the East Village, called Timna. We had lots of different sharing plates. I loved everything, especially this dish called shakshuka, which is North African, and it’s basically eggs in a tomato sauce, but the mixture of herbs and spices makes it taste great. And the bread we had to dip in the sauce was wonderful, too. Go there. Soon.

OK guys, this is it! Our Thanksgiving dinner – which we had at 6:30 last night. All the usual things: turkey with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lots of vegetables, and more…and more… 
Mom said, “Why not go to a restaurant this year – maybe have seafood?”, but I said, “No, I want it homemade and traditional” – so she did it. Thanks, Mom. I now need to spend a few hours on the sofa
before I even think about going to bed. So how was yours?

W = woman, M = man
W We need food for the weekend – can you go to the store on your
way home this evening?
M OK, I guess so. What do we need?
W Let’s see. We need some coffee, we don’t have any.
M OK…coffee…
W And some milk. And some juice.
M Orange juice?
W Yeah. And maybe apple juice, too.
M OK. What else?
W Get a pineapple if they have them.
M One pineapple…
W And some oranges – four or five oranges – and some bananas.
And I want to make a vegetable curry, so get some onions, some
potatoes, some tomatoes…
M Hold on, wait a minute…! Potatoes…
W Yes, two or three big ones. Oh, and forget the tomatoes – we’ve
got some in the refrigerator. And a bottle of soda.
M Coke? Pepsi?
W Any kind is fine. Oh, and some lettuce, I want to make a salad.
M Some lettuce…Do we need any tomatoes?
W No, I said no tomatoes!
M Sorry, yes, you did. Is that everything?
W Yes, I think so. And don’t forget anything!

A haunted castle

Hi, I’m Ned. Welcome to Portchester Castle. Portchester Castle is over one thousand seven hundred years old. It’s near Portsmouth, a city on the south coast of England. The castle is part of English Heritage. English Heritage is a charity, which manages over four hundred old buildings and monuments in England.

With so many old buildings, there are also lots of reports of ghosts. And ghosts are sometimes a problem for staff and visitors at English. Heritage. In fact, some staff members decided to leave their jobs because of the ghosts. I’ve come here to Portchester to find out more about reports of not one, but four ghosts! And many of the ghosts come from different times in Portchester’s long history. Portchester Castle dates back to Roman Britain; the Romans built the original castle here in the year two hundred and ninety. The first ghost report also comes from

Roman times. Visitors report that they see the ghost of a Roman soldier guarding the walls, but they say they don’t feel frightened. In the Middle Ages, Portchester became a favorite castle for the kings and queens of England. During this time, a small monastery was built.

There’s a church here now in place of the monastery. People say that they see a man dressed in black here and they think he is the ghost of a monk from the monastery. Surprisingly, people don’t feel frightened when they see him. They say that he disappears when they look at him.

(script in Student Book on p.121)

1 We stayed at The Roosevelt Hollywood for two nights. It’s a really nice place — a very elegant, very LA hotel. The service, atmosphere, and room were excellent and we really enjoyed our stay. But we had a really strange experience. On the first night, we woke up at 3:30 in the morning. There was a strange noise outside our door, like someone softly playing a trumpet. To tell you the truth, we were a little bit frightened. Why would someone play the trumpet in the middle of the night? Then we thought that it was probably another guest in the hall, and maybe they were listening to music on their cell phone or something, and we went back to sleep. But on the second night, the same exact thing happened. So we just thought, strange, maybe it’s because it’s an old hotel and the walls are thin. But when we got home, we told the story to a friend, and he told us that The Roosevelt Hollywood is haunted. We looked on the internet, and we read that people say that room 924 has a ghost! And our room was 922, the next room! We sent an email to The Roosevelt Hollywood and told them about it and they sent us some really interesting information about the ghost stories. We’d really like to stay in this 
fantastic hotel again, but maybe not in room 924!

Romans 1.3-1.4

3. 論到他兒子─我主耶穌基督。按肉體說,是從大衛後裔生的;
concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh
4. 按聖善的靈說,因從死裡復活,以大能顯明是上帝的兒子。
and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,


Jesus Christ, through His resurrection from the dead, was declared with power to be the Son of God. According to the flesh, He is a descendant of David, sharing in the limitations and frailties of human life. Because He is truly human, He understands us, has compassion upon us, and knows us intimately; thus, He is near to us.

Yet according to the Spirit of holiness, He is revealed through His resurrection to be the Son of God. The resurrection stands as the decisive mark of faith, demonstrating His authority over death and manifesting the divine power that raised Him.

No one can recognize the true identity of Jesus by human effort alone; it is only through the revelation of the Holy Spirit that we come to see that He is the Christ. Precisely because He possesses both full humanity and full divinity, He is able not only to sympathize with our condition but also to save us, granting us hope and life.

耶穌基督藉著從死裡復活,以大能顯明他是上帝的兒子。按肉體說,他是大衛的後裔,與人同樣經歷有限與軟弱,因為他是人所以他了解人,他能能體諒人,他能認識人,所以他跟我們非常的親密。

但按聖善的靈說,他因復活被證明是上帝的兒子。復活成為信仰的關鍵,顯出他勝過死亡的權柄,也表明這能力來自上帝。

人無法憑自己認識耶穌的真實身份,唯有聖靈的啟示,使我們看見他是基督。正因他同時具有完全的人性與神性,他既能體恤我們的處境,也能真正拯救我們,使人得著盼望與生命。[]

Romans 1.2

2. 這福音是上帝從前藉眾先知在聖經上所應許的,

which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 

保羅說明他所傳的福音是「上帝從前所應許的」。福音就是美好的信息,但這信息並不是人所發明的,而是上帝早已計畫並應許要實現的救恩。這應許是藉著眾先知傳講,並且已經記載在聖經之中,因此福音是有根有據、有歷史基礎的。對保羅來說,他所傳的福音正是上帝早已啟示、如今成就的真理。[]
