1．I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. 我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。

He forgot the man with passing time.随着时间的消逝，他忘掉了那个人。
（2）night and day是固定短语，意为"日日夜夜"、"夜以继日"：He thought of the matter night and day.他日夜在想这个问题。

2．The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. 机场是许多年前建的，但由于某种原因当时未能启用。
（1）years 前面不加确定的数词时，一般表示"许多年"，weeks等的用法与它相似：
He left the city years ago.他多年前就离开了这座城市。
I have not seen him for weeks.我已经有好几个星期没见他了。
（2）some 在这里不表示"一些"，而表示"某个"、"某种"等：
I'll tell you someday.有一天我会告诉你的。

This pen is John's. He must have been here.这枝钢笔是约翰的。他一定来过这里。
5．I am one of the few people left. 我是少数留下来的人中的一个。

（2）left相当于who are left(by the others)。即其他人走了以后而留下了他们。 语法 Grammar in use
被动语态（2）
在第10课的语法中，我们已经讲了被动语态的基本形式以及它在用了一般现在时、现在完成时、现在进行时和一般过去时的句子中的使用情况。被动语态还可以和大部分情态动词连用（包括具有部分情态功能的will和 would）。
He may have been told the news. 他或许已被告知这消息了。 词汇学习 Word study
