Language points
1. I just couldn’t wait to try Sichuan hot pot.我迫不及待地想要试一试四川火锅。
can’t wait to do表示“迫不及待地想要做”。
例如:She can’t wait to start her new job.她迫不及待地想要开始新的工作。
【应用】
She couldn’t wait _____ (open) the gift box as soon as she
received it.
答案:to open 根据“received”可知时态为一般过去时,“can’t wait to do”的过去式是“couldn’t wait to do”,表示她一收到礼物盒就迫不及待地想打开它。
2. When in China, do as the Chinese do!
在中国,就按照中国人的方式去做!
本句改编自谚语“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”意为“入乡随俗”。
例如:
—Are you sure we should eat this with our hands? 你确定我们要用手拿着吃吗?
—Why not? When in Rome, do as the Romans do.当然,入乡随俗嘛。
【应用】If you want to get along well with the local people when you are in a new place, just remember “____ (入乡随俗)”.
(答案:When in Rome, do as the Romans do )
surprisingly意为“惊人地,使人吃惊地,出人意料地”,常出现在句首,用于表达一种令人意外的感觉。
to one’s surprise令某人惊讶的是
例如:Surprisingly, he got a very good job.令人惊讶的是,他找到了一份很好的工作。
3. Surprisingly, l started to enjoy the taste. And cooking hot pot was just as fun as eating it!令人意外的是,我开始喜欢这个味道了。而且,我发现煮火锅和吃火锅一样有趣!
【应用】
(1)____________ (surprising), the little boy finished the difficult puzzle in ten minutes.
(2)我们以为他会输掉比赛。但是令我们惊讶的是,他很轻松地赢得了比赛。
We thought he would lose the game. But ___________________, he won the game easily.
Surprisingly
to our surprise
4. After lunch, things went from really hot to totally cool—we went to the new Sanxingdui Museum!
午饭后,我们从热辣的火锅店到了一个完全不同的凉爽且很酷的地方——我们去参观了三星堆博物馆新馆!
(1)这个句子中,hot和cool两个词都使用了双关的修辞手法。hot既体现了火锅店的热闹场景,又体现了火锅的辣。cool既体现了三星堆博物馆新馆的凉爽,也体现了展览内容令人印象深刻。
(2)三星堆博物馆位于四川省广汉市三星堆遗址东北角。
三星堆是我国西南地区迄今所知规模最大、延续时间最长、出土文物最丰富的先秦时期遗址。遗址内的古城面积约3.6平方千米,盛极于距今3, 000多年的商代中晚期,被誉为20世纪人类最重大的考古发现之一。
(3)After lunch 是时间状语,表明后面所描述事件发生的时间背景,即午饭后。
(4)“go from...to...”是固定短语,意为“从……变为……” ,在句中“things went from really hot to totally cool”表示情况从非常炎热变成了极其凉爽,体现了一种状态的转变。
(5) 破折号:破折号起到解释说明的作用。
破折号后面“we went to the new Sanxingdui Museum”解释了为什么说情况从热变到了“凉爽”,是因为去了三星堆博物馆新馆。
【应用】
1.The weather went from sunny ______ rainy in the afternoon.
A. with B. to C. for D. at
答案:B 考查“go from...to...”短语,意为下午天气从晴朗变为下雨。
2. The weather was really ______ —the leaves fall and the wind blows.
A. hot B. cool C. warm D. cold
答案:B。根据破折号后描述可知天气凉爽。
Loo k forward to意为“(兴奋地 )期待,盼望”,后面常跟名词或动词的-ing形式。
例如:
I look forward to meeting you. 我期待着与你见面。
5. I’m really looking forward to the rest of my trip around China!
我真的很期待接下来的中国之旅!
