此文出自《新概念英语第二册第六课》
课文解析：
1、I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. 我刚刚搬进了大桥街的一所房子。
move常用的意义是“动”、“移动”。在这句话里它的意思是“搬家”、“迁移”，为不及物动词。在表达“搬家”这个意思时move可以单独使用，也可以组成短语move to, move into, move in, move out等。
2、He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. (他问)我要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。在表示请求时，可以用ask+sb.+for+sth.，也可以直接用ask for。
3、in return for this 作为报答，作为交换。in return可以单独使用，也可以加介词for说明原因。
4、Later a neighbour told me about him. 后来，一位邻居告诉了我他的情况。介词about可以和一些动词连用，以表示“关于……(的)”、“涉及……(的)”。
Percy Buttons
珀西.巴顿斯

哇，谢谢思密达
刚开始我的理解是这个乞丐在一个月中单的某一天之内，会拜访所有这条街道上的家庭。
后来发现这种理解不太合理，我认为正确的意思应该是这样的：这条街道上的每个家庭，每个月都会被这个乞丐拜访一次。而不是这个乞丐在一个月之中的某一天，会把这条街上的所有家庭都拜访完（如果是的话他也吃不了这么多东西☺）。
