What lies beyond the mountains? 山的那边有什么? Don’t stay there beyond midnight. 不要过了半夜还呆在那儿。 2.The East China Sea lies to the east of Zhejiang Province. 东海位于浙江省的东面。 表示方法

①通常用动词be和lie,be后接介词短语,lie后既可接介词短语,又可接副词短语。 如:

Japan is to the east of China. Japan lies to the east of China. Japan lies east of China.

②有三个介词可分别表示方位:to,in,on。to表示在另一个地点的外部,译成“在…以…,在……面”;in表示范围内;on表示接壤。例如:

Mexico is in the south of North America. 墨西哥位于北美的南部。

注意:表示某一山脉或界线,以东、以西、以南、以北必须用to。on还可表示“在……河畔”。

Nanjing lies on the Changjiang River. 南京位于长江之滨。 Guangdong lies to the south of Hubei. 广东在湖北以南。

Guangdong lies on the south of Hunan. 广东在湖南以南。(与湖南接壤)

③有时可以把副词短语放在句首加动词lie或stand,表示方位.(构成完全倒装句)。

East of the village stands a big factory.

3.Where is your great-grand father on your father’s side from? 你父亲的曾祖父是哪里人?

①on your father’s side意为“父亲的,你父亲的”。side在此意为“血统,世系,家系”。如:

a cousin on my father’s side 父系的表亲 her aunt on her mother’s side 她的姨妈 ②be from = come from来自,是哪里人。如: He is / comes from Japan. 他是日本人。

4.It is made up of two large islands:North Island and South Island. 它(新西兰)由两大岛屿组成:北岛和南岛。

be made up of…由……组成(指由个体组成某个整体,此时为被动结构。)

make up…组成…(此时为主动结构。)如:

Our class is made up of 32 boys and 20 girls. = Thirty-two boys and twenty girls make up our class.

我们班由三十二个男生和二十个女生组成。

make up还可作“弥补;编造;整理;化妆”讲。例如:

This story was made up by Tom. 这个故事是汤姆虚构的。 She always makes up before leaving. 在走之前,她总是化一下妆。 We must make it up to him somehow. 我们得想个办法赔偿他。

5.New Zealand is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the north and east,and the Tasman Sea to the south and west.

新西兰北面和东面被太平洋包围,南面和西面则是塔斯曼海。 surround…with…意为“用……把……围住”,常用于被动语态 be surrounded by / with,意为“(四周)被……包围,围住”。要表达“在某一面被包围,围住”,短语后面接介词to,by或on。例如: The village is surrounded by mountains on its sides. 这个村子三面环山。

6.It is about the same size as Japan. 新西兰大约和日本一样大。 the same…as…意为“与……一样/相同”。as后可接名词、代词、副词及从句。如:

Your pen is the same as mine.

according to the same rules as before. 根据以前的规则

注意:“the same +名词”后可接由as或that引导的定语从句。但是that强调的是同一件事情。例如:

This is the same book as I lost the other day. 这本书和我前几天去的那本一模一样。 This is the same book that I lost the other day.

这正是我前几天丢的那本书。

7.The ocean and seas surrounding the islands are deep blue and many of New Zealand’s cities lie on a bay and have a natural deep harbour. 岛国的周围是蔚蓝色的海洋,新西兰许多城市都建在海湾上,拥有天然的深水港。

这里的介词on表示“在……水(旁),靠近……(水);沿着(水边)(at the side of a river or area of water)。”例如: Tianjin is on the Haihe River. 天津在海河河畔。

注意比较:on the coast与off the coast. 两者的意思都是“靠近岸边”,但前者表示在岸上;后者表示“在海上”。

8.The North Island is famous for an area of hot springs,some of which throw hot water high into the air.

北岛以一个地区的温泉而著称,其中的一些温泉喷到空中的水很高。 ①be famous for…意为“以……著名/出名”。for表示原因。如: China is famous for the Great Wall. 中国以长城而著称。

②some of which throw…是一个非限制性定语从句,其标志是先行词与定语从句之间有逗号。此句中的which不能用that代替,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。

Football,which is a very interesting game,is played all over the world. 足球,一项很有趣的体育活动,全世界都在踢。

9.It is some 3500 kilometres from Polynesia to New Zealand,which they

travelled in narrow boats.

从波利尼西到新西兰有3500公里,他们乘着狭长的小船前来。 ①此处“it”与“which”,均指代距离。

②some在句中是副词,通常用于数字前,解释“大约(about)”。例如:

That was some twenty years ago. 那是在大约20年前的事。

10.Captain James Cook took possession of the islands in 1769. 詹姆士·库克船长在1769年占领了这些岛屿。

take possession of意为“占领,占据;获得;占有”,其中possession是名词,意为“拥有,占有,所有,着迷,领土,财产(复数)”。如: He had few possessions. 他的财产很少。 a man of great possessions 富人
