CartoonandComicstripsWhat’sit?TomandJerryWarmingup名称：猫和老鼠

年份：1950类别：亲子益智

产地：美国内容简介：猫和老鼠讲的是机灵老鼠与笨猫的故事，堪与米老鼠和唐老鸭的故事相媲美。没有动物世界中恃强凌弱的残酷，只有两个邻居之间的日常琐事和纷争，诸如小老鼠杰瑞偷吃了汤姆的奶。猫和老鼠讲的是机灵老鼠与笨猫的故事，堪与米老鼠和唐老鸭的故事相媲美。没有动物世界中恃强凌弱的残酷，只有两个邻居之间的日常琐事和纷争，诸如小老鼠杰瑞偷吃了汤姆的奶酪，汤姆把捕鼠器放到了杰瑞的洞门口等等，中间穿插的无数恶作剧和幽默片断，让人感受到久违的天真快意。它们之间的关系常在一瞬间发生变化，化敌为友或势不两立：为敌时绞尽脑汁，互不相让；为友时，亲如兄弟，谁也不记仇。Whocreatedit?

neverhasanysuccess.（L2）“bealwaysdoingsth”,意为“总是做某事”

always常用在一般现在时态里，表示经常的行为习惯。当它与进行时连用时，即构成句型“bealwaysdoingsth”,常表达说话人的某种情绪，如赞扬、不满、责备等。1)他老是向父母要钱。2)你为什么总是吹毛求疵？
