课文内容:

first listen and then answer the question

How many cards did the writer send?


Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. 
I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 
Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. 
Every day I thought about postcards. 
My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. 
On the last day I made a big decision. 
I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. 
I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!

Notes on the text 课文注释
1 a few words,几句话。
2 lent me a book中,lent是“借出”的意思。我们常说lend sb.sth.或lend sth.to sb.。borrow是“借入”的意思,常用的结构是borrow sth.或borrow sth.from sb。

参考译文
明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。去年夏天,我去了意大利。
我参观了博物馆,还去了公园。一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语,之后还借给我一本书。
我读了几行,但一个字也不懂。我每天都想着明信片的事。假期过得真快,可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。
到了最后一天,我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床,买来了37张明信片。
我在房间里关了整整一天。然而竟连一张明信片也没写成!
