- 中文：嗯，平安夜我去朋友家参加了一个派对。

Bill: Yeah, I had a fantastic time. We put up the Christmas tree together, had a Christmas dinner and sang Christmas songs. What did you do with your family on Christmas Day?
- 中文：是的，我玩得非常开心。我们一起装饰了圣诞树，吃了圣诞晚餐，还唱了圣诞歌。你圣诞节那天和家人做了些什么？

- 中文：嗯，我们互道"圣诞快乐"，交换了礼物，还花了一整天玩桌游和吃东西。

- 重点：被夸赞后用
Thanks. I love it.自然回应，比单独说Thank you更亲切。
四、 语法要点：spend 的用法
spend 表示"花费"，可以用于花时间也可以用于花钱。日常生活中最常见的有两种表达。
结构一：spend + 时间/金钱 + on + 名词或代词
text
spend + time/money + on + noun/pronoun表示"在某事或某物上花费时间/金钱"。
| 例句 | 翻译 |
|---|---|
| She spends a lot of money on clothes. | 她在衣服上花销很大。 |
| He spends too much time on video games. | 他在电子游戏上花太多时间。 |
| I spent ten dollars on a Christmas card. | 我花了十美元买一张圣诞卡片。 |
结构二：spend + 时间/金钱 + doing something
text
spend + time/money + doing something表示"花费时间/金钱做某事"。
| 例句 | 翻译 |
|---|---|
| I spent an hour at the station waiting for the train. | 我在火车站等了一个小时的车。 |
| They spent 400 pounds buying that TV set. | 他们花了 400 英镑买那台电视机。 |
| We spent the day playing board games and eating. | 我们花了一整天玩桌游和吃东西。 |
课文中的例子
We spent the day playing board games and eating.
- 我们花一整天玩桌游和吃东西。
the day是花费的时间，playing board games and eating是具体做的事情。

| 正确表达 | 不推荐表达 |
|---|---|
| I spent one hour doing homework. | I spent one hour to do homework. |
| She spent money on gifts. | She spent money for gifts. |
