好的。

注:

1.“Not yet,mom.”是一個(gè)省略句，其完整的句子表達(dá)是“I have not finished my homework yet,mom.”。

2.關(guān)于“go”的用法，平時(shí)同學(xué)們常用的表達(dá)是：“go to + 地名”（go to the cinema、go to the hospital、go to the zoo 等），“go to + 動(dòng)詞（短語）”（go to work、go to play the table tennis、go to see a film 等），“go to + 動(dòng)名詞（短語）”（go fishing、go swimming、go hiking 等）。然而，這里的“Go do your homework.”這句話卻不存在語法錯(cuò)誤。因?yàn)樵谟⒄Z中，當(dāng)“go”后面這個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間與“go”這個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間差小得可以忽略不計(jì)時(shí)，就可以用“go + 動(dòng)詞原形”來表達(dá)，如：“Go set the table.”“Go pick up the pencil for me.”“Dinner is ready.Go wash your hands,Tom.”。

3.英語中的“go to school”與“attend school”翻譯成中文時(shí)都可以是“上學(xué)”，但是兩者的意思其實(shí)是不一樣的?！癵o to school”表達(dá)的是“上學(xué)”或“到學(xué)校上課”這一行為，而“attend school”表達(dá)的是“入學(xué)”，即原來未上學(xué)的人即將要入學(xué)。如：“In China,children must attend school at 6.”“Mr.Wang’s son and daughter attend the same primary school.”。

4.“Uncle Sam bought me one the day before yesterday.”這句話中的“one”指代的就是“a pen”。句中的“bought me one”就是“bought one for me”的意思，因?yàn)樵谟⒄Z中“buy sb.something”就等于“buy something for sb.”。

5.“Yes,that’s all I need for now.”這句話中的“all”后面省略了“that”。英語中，“all that”就等于“what”。因此，這句話還可以說成“Yes,that’s all that I need for now.”或“Yes,that’s what I need for now.”。
