# 04 · 一次激动人心的旅行

### 第1段

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.

中文理解：我刚收到弟弟蒂姆的来信。他在澳大利亚，已经在那里待了六个月。 蒂姆是工程师，在一家大公司工作，已经去过澳大利亚许多不同的地方。 他刚买了一辆澳大利亚产的汽车，现在已经到了澳大利亚中部的小镇艾丽斯斯普林斯。 他很快会去达尔文，再从那里飞往珀斯。 弟弟以前从没出过国，所以觉得这趟旅行特别令人兴奋。

* **received a letter from**：收到……的信；from引出寄信人；receive侧重收到而非写信。

* **working for**：为……工作；for接雇主，work in更常接行业或地点。

* **a great number of**：许多；若干；表示若干个；加 great 或 large 强调数量多，后接复数谓语。

* **has gone to**：已经去了……；通常人尚未回来；have been to表示去过。

* **in the centre of**：在……中心；centre前用the；美式常拼作center。

* **been abroad**：去过国外；abroad本身表地点，前面不加to。

#### I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.

简单句，主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 现在完成时，have/has + done 形式.

#### He is in Australia.

简单句，主系表结构.

#### He has been there for six months.

简单句，主谓结构.

\[关键句型] 现在完成时，因he 是第三人称单数，故have 用has.

#### He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓结构；后句为主谓宾结构，a great number of 是名词 + of 构成的量词，一般用在所修饰的词的前面.

\[关键句型] and 后句为现在完成时，因he 是第三人称单数，故have 用has.

#### He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Australia.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，两个句子共用一个主语He. 后句中a small town 是 Alice Springs 的同位语，相当于对这个地方进一步说明一下，这个同位语中含有一个定语来修饰town. 该定语中的centre 为英式拼法，也可写作center.

\[关键句型] 两句均为现在完成时.

#### He will soon visit Darwin.

简单句，主谓宾结构. 本句用了一般将来时.

#### From there, he will fly to Perth.

简单句，主谓结构. 本句用了一般将来时. 本课提到了澳大利亚的一些城市名，澳大利亚也是英语国家，其主要城市名有记住的必要.

#### My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

so 连接的并列句，前句主谓结构；后句为主谓宾 + 宾补结构，其中exciting 为宾语this trip 的补足语.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《一次激动人心的旅行》：弟弟的来信 → 工作中旅行 → 开车去内陆 → 接下来的行程 → 首次出国的兴奋。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用一句话说过去发生了什么，再补一句它现在造成的影响。
