Notes on the text:
1 He's better.
在英文中,如果将一个人或物等与另一个人或物等进行比较,就可以用比较级.在这句话中,威廉斯夫人是把吉米今天的状况与前几天相比.形容词well的比较级形式不规则,意思是"健康状况有所好转."
2 Come upstairs,上楼,此处upstairs是副词.
3 ...you mustn't get up yet.
yet这个词一般用于否定句,get up表示起床,在英语中有不少动词常与介词或副词连用,组成一个词组,称为动词短语,如get up就是一个动词短语.
4 for another two days
for 引导的表示时间的短语往往可以译作"达","计".在课文中for about two hours each day可翻译为"每天可达两小时".each day 是"每天"的意思.
5 keep the room warm.使房间保持暖和
