到现在我已经在丛林里待了大约一个月了。我所在的中学是一所丛林学校。教室是用竹子搭建的,黏土夯的地面,茅草搭的屋顶。沿着杂草丛生、尘土飞扬的小路,我几分钟就能走到学校。

【2】It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a dusty track covered in weeds.
我只需几分钟就能走到学校,路上尘土飞扬,杂草丛生。
【分析】 此句是简单句。It作形式主语,to walk to school. . . 是动词不定式短语作真正的主语;covered in weeds是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a dusty track,相当于定语从句:which is covered in weeds。

It takes my grandma fifteen minutes to take a walk in a small park filled with colourful flowers.

19. have no concept of对……没有概念
I’ve had to become much more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. There is no equipment, and since there isn’t even a washroom, if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a basin!

在这里,很重要的一点是也不能太墨守成规。几天前,我正在给男孩们演示一个化学实验,在我反应过来前,混合物冒着泡从试管中涌出,洒得到处都是!班上乱成了马戏团,男孩们纷纷跳窗跑走,因为他们以前从没遇到过像这样的事情。

29.make any difference to对……有影响
