Ⅰ.补句子　析结构

1．Rather than travel by commercial airline all the way，they decided to fly(fly) to Vancouver and then take the train. (P38 Para.1)

结构分析：此句是简单句，Rather than放在句首，意为“而不是”。

汉语翻译：她们没有一路乘坐商业航班，而是决定先飞到温哥华，然后再乘坐火车。

2．For both of them，the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting(excite). (P38 Para.1)

结构分析：此句是简单句，crossing the whole country是动词-ing形式作介词of的宾语。

汉语翻译：一想到可以坐火车横穿整个国家，姐妹俩就激动不已。

3．Despite the weather，they were able to take(take) a boat ride out into the bay，and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. (P38 Para.2)

结构分析： 此句是复合句，that引导定语从句，修饰先行词an island，从句中的selling crafts and antiques作后置定语，修饰shops。

汉语翻译：尽管天气不佳，她们仍然能泛舟驶入海湾，接着游览了一座岛屿。岛上有精致的店铺，出售手工艺品和古董。

4．The next day was clear and mild，and they were pleased to see(see) the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. (P38 Para.2)

结构分析：此句是and连接的并列句，第二个分句中的looking out over the city作后置定语，修饰名词短语the beautiful mountains。

汉语翻译：第二天，天气晴朗，温度适宜，她们看到壮美的群山俯瞰着整座城市，甚是欣喜。

5．The next morning，the two girls arose early to take(take) the train to Lake Louise，passing through the Canadian Rockies. (P38 Para.3)

6．Seen from the train window，the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive (mass). (P38 Para.3)
