【Text】
My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.
参考译文
我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信. 去年, 当我们横渡英吉利海峡时, 简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子, 又将瓶子扔进了大海. 此后她就再没去想那只瓶子. 但10个月以后, 她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信. 现在这两位姑娘定期通信了. 然而她们还是决定利用邮局. 这样会稍微多花点钱, 但肯定是快得多了.
【课文讲解】
1、My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland.
同位语 My daughter，Jane
dream of doing sth. 梦想，幻想……
…of one's own age 同年龄的……
He is boy of my own age.
receive…from… 从……收到……
2、Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.
the Channel= the English Channel 英吉利海峡
with可放在句子后面做状语用，也可放在名词后面做定语。这里的“with her name and address on it”用来修饰名词“a piece of paper”。
I have a bag with books in it.(“in it” 不能省略)
3、Both girls write to each other regularly now.
write to sb. 给某人写信
write (a letter) to me
each other 相互，彼此，往往强调两者之间的相互 ([i:tF 5QTE] 注意连读)有时这个短语也可用来指许多人之间“互相”
We must all help each other.
one another 强调三或三者以上的相互，有时可替代each other
4、Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.
cost意为“（使）花费，价钱为……”,其主语通常为某物或某件事情
It costs a lot to buy a house.
sth. cost (sb.) ……花了某人……（钱）
The dress cost me twenty pounds.
more即可做形容词, 又可做代词，文中的 “more” 为代词 = more money
give me more 再给我一点
a little 稍微，可以修饰比较级；much修饰比较级，译为“多得多”
It's a little hotter.
It's much hotter.
That is more expensive. （贵一些）
That is a little more expensive. （稍微有点贵）
That is much more expensive. （贵得多）
but they will certainly travel faster.
=but they will certainly travel much faster.
