The next day, on their way to Pahsien Cave
Morley: So what's the story behind this cave we're going to?
Kathy: Actually, it's a bunch of caves. Eight of them have temples dedicated to eight different gods.
Morley: Really? That sounds interesting. Why did they set up the temples in the caves?
Kathy: Well, legend has it that the gods all visited these caves at one time.
Morley: You mean gods like Matsu, right?
Kathy: These are a bit different. Matsu helped fishermen, but these gods helped other poor people.

隔天，往八仙洞的路上
莫理：我们要去的这个洞有什么典故？
卡西：事实上，是很多洞。其中八个洞建有寺庙供奉八位不同的神。
莫理：真的吗？真有趣。人们为何要在洞里盖庙？
卡西：嗯，传说中八仙同时来到这些洞。
莫理：你是说像妈祖那样的神，对吧？
卡西：有点不一样。妈祖保佑渔夫，可是这些神帮助其它穷人。
重点解说：
★ dedicate to 供奉
★ set up 建造
★ legend (n.) 传说 | |

In many parts of the world, there are four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. In the U.S., there are only three: football, basketball and baseball. That's not completely true, but almost. In every season, Americans have a ball. If you want to know what season it is, just look at what people are playing. For many Americans, sports do not just occupy the sidelines. They take center court.
世界上的许多地方，一年有四季：春、夏、秋、冬。美国，却只有三季：橄榄球、篮球和棒球季。这并非完全正确，但也差得不远了。每一个季节，美国人都有乐趣。若你想知道此季为何，看看人们正在打什么球就行了。对于多数美国人而言，运动并非只是一旁站的小消遣，它是生活中很重要的一环。

人称代词的用法
1）人称代词的主格在句子中作主语或主语补语，例如：
John waited a while but eventually he went home.
约翰等了一会儿，最后他回家了。
John hoped the passenger would be Mary and indeed it was she.
约翰希望那位乘客是玛丽，还真是她。
说明：在复合句中，如果主句和从句主语相同，代词主语要用在从句中，名词主语用在主句中，例如：
When he arrived, John went straight to the bank.
约翰一到就直接去银行了。
2）人称代词的宾格在句子中作宾语或介词宾语，但在口语中也能作主语补语，第一人称在省略句中，还可以作主语，例如：
I saw her with them, at least, I thought it was her.
我看到她和他们在一起，至少我认为是她。（her做宾 语，them做介词宾语，her做主语补语）
a. -- Who broke the vase? --谁打碎了花瓶？
b. -- Me. --我。（me做主语补语= It's me.）
说明：在上面两例句中，her和me分别作主语补语。现代英语中多用宾格，在正式文体中这里应为she和I。
