spent hours on ——spend 意为“花费时间(金钱)”,常与介词on连用。
spend的用法:

e.g: I spent $100 on the bike.
spend sth(in) doing sth
e.g: They spent three month touring Europe
Paul: You liked it as well!
Claire: Yes, I did! I loved his jewellery !
Paul: They are lovely things. They look very simple , but they are not simple at all.
as well,
too, 也
珠宝首饰
not ...at all一点也不;
Claire: The shapes are strong , and the colors are very soft ……
Paul : Anyway …… his hanging sculptures were the best for me!
无论如何,
不管怎么说
对我来说最好的
Paul: There was one huge one, called ‘Big Red’.
It was made of triangular pieces, like feathers. The pieces were made of aluminium . They looked heavy, and they were light!
Paul: We blew on one little disc, and the whole thing moved.
Claire: Yeah, that was cool! All the pieces moved around , like a native Indian headdress
旋转
[blu:] ,
blow的过去式
the whole thing ___
whole表示“整个的”,后面接名词的单数 形式。
All the pieces __
all表示“所有的”, 后面接名词的复数形式。
all与 whole的区别:
1.all与whole都有“整个 ”“全部的”之含义。一般来讲, all可以修饰各类名词, 且限定词要放在all之后。 而whole 只能修饰具有整体意义的单数名词, 且限定词要放在whole 之前。
e.g: all the money/a whole roast duck
2.一般来讲,whole 不能修饰 复数可数名词, 但是若复数可数名词前有具体的数量词时, 则可以用whole 。
e.g: three whole days / all three days
3. all与whole都可以用来修饰专有名词,但是用whole修饰专有名词时,一定要带of 。
e.g: the whole of China/ all China
SEE YOU!
