Great! Have there been any other changes?
Yes, we’ve changed the way we farm. I used to grow a few vegetables on a small farm to sell at the local market. Now, I have large, high-tech greenhouses. There, I grow tons of fruit and vegetables, and sell them in large cities.

More young people have come back to live and work in the village. The farming is modern and transport is better. The viallage has become a tourist attraction. The sales channels have been greatly expanded. The villagers’ living conditions have improved with new houses, a new hospital, and a new library.(答案仅供参考)
1. Yes, we’ve changed the way we farm.
是的,我们改变了耕作方式。
the way we farm是整个句子中的宾语,we farm意为“我们耕作的方式”,用作后置定语,修饰名词the way。英语中短语和从句用作定语时,一般置于名词之后,作后置定语。the way可以表示“做什么的方式”。句中的farm在这里作动词,意为“种田,耕作”。
2. Wow, the new highway and railway must have helped a lot!
哇,新建公路和铁路一定帮了大忙!
must + have + done的结构表示对过去事情的肯定推测,意为“肯定做过某事,肯定发生过某事”,用于肯定句。
