The three arrive at Yingge train station and see the old area of town
Morley: Wow, I like this place already. Is the whole town like this?
Kathy: No, this is the only area.
Morley: Well, it's great. I can see I'm going to be taking a lot of shots today.
Kathy: You're sure to get one or two photos of a vase or ceramic cup then.
Morley: You can say that again. Almost every shop is selling pottery.
Kathy: That's because ceramic ware is Yingge's specialty.
Morley: How do you know so much about that? Is your family from here?

(续上期)

三人抵达莺歌火车站,看到镇上的老街
莫理:哇,我已经喜欢上这地方了。整个莺歌都像这样吗?
卡西:没有,只有这一带。
莫理:嗯,太好了。想来我今天有很多相片可以拍了。
卡西:那一定得拍一、两张花瓶或是陶瓷杯子的相片。
莫理:说得没错。几乎每家店都在卖陶器。
卡西:那是因为陶瓷餐具是莺歌的特产。
莫理:你怎么会知道那么多?你老家在这儿?


重点解说:

★ vase (n.) 花瓶
★ ceramic (a.) 陶器的,陶制的。ceramic ware指‘陶瓷制的餐具’。ceramics (n.) 陶艺,陶瓷品;ceramics当形容词时是指‘陶瓷方面的’,与‘陶制的’ceramic有所不同
★ You can say that again. 你说得没错。
★ pottery (n.) 陶器
★ specialty (n.) 名产,特产

  <播放语音>

With a smile disarmingly like Diana's and his father's sense of duty, William has the makings of a thoroughly modern monarch. As befits a 21st-century prince, he's being introduced to his future subjects through the media. Although he's still very young and no one knows what challenges he'll face, imagery clearly will have to be a top priority.

面带和戴妃一样能使人消除敌意的微笑,并具有他父亲那样的责任感,威廉绝对具备现代君主的品质。为了符合一位21世纪王子的身份,他正通过媒体被介绍给他未来的臣民。虽然他现在还很年轻,而且无人知晓他将会遇到怎样的挑战,但其形象的塑造显然是优先考虑的事情。

 
 => 简明语法


过去进行时

1) 概念:表示过去某时正在进行的状态或动作。

2) 过去进行时的主要用法是描述一件事发生的背景;一个长动作发生的时候,另一个短动作发生。

3) 常用的时间状语
this morning, the whole morning, all day yesterday, from nine to ten last evening, when, while


   My brother fell while he was riding his bicycle and hurt himself. 
   It was raining when they left the station.
   When I got to the top of the mountain, the sun was shining. 

典型例题
1) Mary ___ a dress when she cut her finger. 
A. made  B. is making  C. was making  D. makes
  答案C. 割伤手指是已发生的事情,应用过去时。同 时,when表时间的同时性,"玛丽在做衣服时"提供事情发生的背景,因此用过去进行时。

2) As she ___ the newspaper, Granny ___ asleep.
read; was falling B. was reading; fell C. was reading; was falling D. read;fell
  答案B.句中的as = when, while,意为"当……之时"。描述一件事发生的背景时,用过去进行;一个长动作发生的时候,另一个短动作发生。句意为 "在她看报纸时,奶奶睡着了。"句中的 fell (fall的过去时),是系动词,后跟形容词,如:fall sick。
