(2) argue over意为“就……争论”，其中over意为“与...…有 关，关于”。例如: They always argue over who should pay the bill. (3) reach an agreement意为“达成协议”。例如: The two countries reached an agreement after two weeks. After hours of discussion, the class finally reached an agreement on the theme for the school art festival. 2. In return, they decided to do the same thing. in return意为“作为……报酬，作为……回报”。例如: I helped her move, and in return, she cooked me dinner. I helped my classmate with math homework, and in return, she taught me how to draw cartoons. 3. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses. 这句话主语比较长，为防止句子头重脚轻，谓语came提到了主语the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses前面。英文中有些句子没有宾语，且主语较长，可以把状语提前，而把主语放到谓语后面。例如: On the table stood two glasses and an empty bottle. After the party came a fireworks display in the garden. 4. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. keep... in mind意为“把……放在心里, 把……记在心上。”例如: Keep in mind to lock the door when you leave.

Its stories started back in the chin dynasty. Two local families, the Jones and the woods, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach agreement. The Young family was angry. Their relative hin had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter asking for advice. When his reply came, they opened IT to find a poem inside. A letter from far away just for a wall is not right or good at all. Three, two to your neighbor as a gift is nothing as time continues to drift. After reading IT, the jung family felt shamed. They stepped back three year for the neighbor. This act deeply moved the wool family. In return, they decided to do the same thing.
