10 January,a wedding ceremony①,India
When Nadim invited me to his sister's wedding,I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.I was definitely not②wrong!
The wedding ceremony took place③in a brightly decorated hotel room④.There were hundreds of guests,all dressed up in⑤ formal,colourful clothes.【1】 According to tradition⑥,the bride was wearing an eye-catching red silk sari⑦.
【1】句中的all dressed up in formal,colourful clothes 为“代词+过去分词”构成的独立主格结构,在句中作状语,意为“所有人都穿着正式的、色彩缤纷的衣服”。
I did not understand all of the traditional customs⑧,but a few made a deep impression on me⑨.【2】One was the bridegroom's entrance on a beautiful white horse⑩.I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim's father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats⑪ to her husband.It reminded me of⑫ my sister's wedding.Although our cultures are so different,the smiling faces are the same.【3】
【2】not...all of...为部分否定,意为“并非所有的……”。
【3】although引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管/虽然”。
The customs that followed were anything but ordinary⑬.【4】 The couple joined hands⑭ and walked around a small fire four times.Then they took seven steps together by the fire,and with each step made a different promise about⑮ how they were going to support each other and live together happily.It was very romantic!
【4】句中的that followed为定语从句,修饰先行词The customs,意为“接下来的风俗”。
After the ceremony,it was time for the celebrations.【5】That is a story for another day,but let's just say there was a lot of dancing.Now I know I have two left feet...and both of them hurt!
【5】it was time for...意为“到了做……的时候了”。
26 February,Rio Carnival,Brazil
The summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight⑯.No wonder people from Rio take a week off⑰ for this happy occasion.【6】 I could feel it already—the Carnival was in the air⑱!
【6】本句中用了(It is) no wonder (that)...句型,意为 “难怪……,……不足为奇”。
To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myself,I went to a street party.Luckily,I arrived just in time—the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry crowd⑲.I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes⑳ standing in the street.Some of them carried flags,which blew in the wind.【7】The crowd waited with excitement㉑.
【7】关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰名词flags。
Then there was an explosion of bright colours and lively music,and the group jumped into action㉒.The band started playing an energetic samba beat,the dancers twisted and turned,and the crowd began to cheer,clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street㉓.The Carnival current carried us through the ever-growing sea of people㉔,dancing all the way㉕.【8】 Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets,and the smell of roasted meat㉖ filled the air as we passed wave after wave of street stands.I was so caught up in㉗ the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by㉘!【9】
【8】句中的dancing all the way 为动词-ing形式短语作伴随状语。
【9】本句中用了“so...that...”句式,表示 “如此……以至于……”,其中that从句为结果状语从句。
Even as I lay in bed that evening,the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me.【10】What an amazing first day in Rio!【11】
【10】本句为复合句。as引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”。
【11】本句为what引导的感叹句,意为“在里约的第一天是多么美妙的一天啊!”。

1月10日,一场婚礼,印度
当纳迪姆邀请我参加他姐姐的婚礼时,我知道这将是我一生中难得的一次机会。绝对错不了!
婚礼在一个装饰明亮的酒店房间举行。有几百名客人,都穿着正式的、色彩缤纷的衣服。按照传统,新娘穿着醒目的红色丝绸莎丽。
不是所有的传统习俗我都了解,但有一些给我留下了深刻的印象。一个是新郎官骑着一匹漂亮的白马入场。在我的老家从来没有见过这种场面!另一个是纳迪姆的父亲骄傲地领着女儿穿过一排排座位,来到她丈夫面前的那个时刻。这让我想起了我妹妹的婚礼。尽管我们的两种文化很不相同,但大家的笑容是相同的。
接下来的风俗十分不寻常。这对夫妇手牵手,绕着一个小火堆走了四次。然后,他们在火边走了七步,每一步都就如何互相支持,幸福地生活在一起作出了不同的承诺。真是太浪漫了!
仪式结束后,是庆祝的时间。这个话题改日再聊,但是先这么说吧,(那天)舞跳了不少。现在我只知道我笨手笨脚的,而且两只脚都疼得不行!
2月26日,里约狂欢节,巴西
我一下飞机就感到酷暑袭人。难怪里约的人们为这个欢乐的时刻都请了一周的假。我已经感受到了狂欢节的氛围!
为了亲身体验狂欢节的精神,我参加了一个街头聚会。幸运的是,我到的正是时候——演出即将开始,我走进欢快的人群中。我可以看到大约20名身着奇装异服的一群巴西舞蹈演员和一个乐队站在大街上。他们中的一些人举着飘扬的旗帜。人群兴奋地等待着。
然后到处都是艳丽的色彩和活泼的音乐,队伍开始跳动起来。乐队开始演奏充满活力的桑巴节拍,舞者扭动着身子,人群开始欢呼、鼓掌和歌唱。整群人开始沿着街道行进。狂欢节的人潮带着我们穿过不断扩张的人海,一路上跳舞不停。装着汽水和啤酒的保冷箱排列在狭窄的街道两边,当我们经过一波又一波街头小摊时,空气中弥漫着烤肉的味道。我是如此陷入聚会的狂热中,几乎没注意到五个小时就这样过去了!
那天晚上甚至在我躺在床上时,艳丽的色彩还在眼前浮现,欢快的音乐仍在耳畔回响。在里约的第一天是多么美妙的一天啊!
