(一)赏用词之妙
1.They settled on this vast land thousands of years ago ...Today, Canada reflects a vast combination of ethnic backgrounds.
赏析:第一句中的vast意为“巨大的;辽阔的”,描述空间上的庞大;第二句中的vast意为“庞大的;大量的”,描述数量上的巨大。对一词多义的词汇的灵活运用彰显了语言的驾驭能力。
2.In Montreal, one of the largest French-speaking cities in the world, you can sample the food with a typical French flavor and see the original buildings in the French style of architecture.

To the east of the Pacific coast rise the grand Rocky Mountains, which are home to high peaks and deep valleys carved by ice and water.Ancient, slow-moving glaciers hug the land and a huge variety of wildlife wanders the remote forests.
赏析:此处在描写地貌及自然生态时使用了动词rise、 hug和wander,赋予事物以人类的行为特点,将静态的画面写得生动形象。读者仿佛看到了在巍峨的落基山脉的映衬下,峡谷纵横,古老、缓慢移动的冰川环绕着陆地,无数的野生动物在森林中漫步的景象。在描写景物时恰当地运用拟人的修辞手法可以使表达更加鲜活灵动。

赏析:第一句中用形容词blooming作定语修饰flower,并搭配现在分词短语unfolding with ...作伴随状语的用法,令此处的描述生动而形象,犹如在读者的面前展开了一幅繁花绽放的动态画卷;分词短语中的breathtaking更是为这幅画卷增添了浓墨重彩的一笔,写出了加拿大惊人的美丽和富饶。同时,第二句中的分词短语stretching from ...to ...写出了加拿大的幅员辽阔,绵延千里。

Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.Rather than travel by commercial airline all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train.For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting.
Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights.During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained.Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay, and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques.The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city.Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away.
The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise, passing through the Canadian Rockies.Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive.When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue water literally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty.They spent the night, and then took a coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper.Looking at the beautiful scenery, they both agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken.In addition to seeing spectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of their trip was being able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats, and even a grizzly bear and an eagle.
From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto.One of the train's first stops was in Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada's huge oil and gas drilling industry.Edmonton is freezing cold in winter, with daily temperatures averaging -10 ℃.Since it can be too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls.In fact, one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.
From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie.At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada's population is only slightly over thirty-seven million.However,they did not anticipate seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed.They went through two wheat-growing provinces, .
After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg.From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario — a land of forests and lakes.The train thundered on, through the rolling hills.The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground, .Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto.When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron — one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario's southern border. All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration of four days.
