I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.
参考译文 我刚刚收到弟弟蒂姆的来信, 他正在澳大利亚. 他在那儿已经住了6个月了. 蒂姆是个工程师, 正在一家大公司工作, 并且已经去过澳大利亚的不少地方了. 他刚买了一辆澳大利亚小汽车, 现在去了澳大利亚中部的小镇艾利斯斯普林斯. 他不久还将到达达尔文去, 从那里, 他再飞往珀斯. 我弟弟以前从未出过国, 因此, 他觉得这次旅行非常激动人心.
【课文讲解】
1、I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.
同位语:一个名词(或短语等)与另一个名词(或短语)并列而作为其说明或限定成分时称为同位语。同位语与它所补充说明的成分之间用逗号隔开。
在译成汉语时,同位语或者插入主句中,或者另译为一句,很少像英语中那样用逗号隔开。
This is John, one of my best friends. 这位是约翰。他是我最好的朋友之一。
Mrs. Smith, my neighbore, has never been abroad. 我的邻居史密斯夫人从来没有出过国。
2、He has been there for six months.
one month[];two months[] 注意读音 将//省略
I have arrived in Beijing. (arrive 是瞬间动词不能和段时间连用)
has been + in 地点
He has been in Beijing for one year.
He has been in America for tow years.
3、He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia.
work for 在……上班/任职,强调work
I am working for a school.
work in 强调地点(在哪个地方上班)
I am working in the New Oriental school.
work at 上班
She works at a department store.
a number of后面一定要加可数名词复数;通常number前有great,large,good,small,certain等形容词,数量大小也随之改变。a great number of 类似于, 约等于a lot of;
A large/great number of our students are Danish.
There are a small number of spelling mistakes in your homework.
a lot of 可加可数名词也可加不可数名词
I have a lot of friends
I have a great number of friends.
4、He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia.
has gone to 去了某地没回来
has been to 曾经去过某地, 现在不在那个地方

5、From there, he will fly to Perth.
from there:从那地方起
from 即可以加时间又可以加地点
from half past 8 to half past 11
from Beijing to Tianjing
fly to Perth = go to Perth by air
6、My brother has never been abroad before, so he is fending this trip very exciting.
