The city was wonderful and my uncles family was very friendly. We saw a lot of interesting things and we went to an big market. I want to go back again soon. 1. They have been to many interesting places. 他們?nèi)ミ^很多有趣的地方。have/has been to表示“己經(jīng)去過某地”， 而have/has gone to表示“己經(jīng)去某地了”。例如：I have been to Shanghai.我己經(jīng)去過上海了。（此時己經(jīng)回來 了）She has gone to Shanghai.她己經(jīng)去上海了。（此時己經(jīng)在去上 海的路上或己經(jīng)到達上海了）Language points 2. they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. 他們發(fā)現(xiàn)阿拉伯語的拼寫和發(fā)音都不容易。本句中it是形式賓語，真正的賓語是動詞不定式，hard是賓語補足語。類似的句子再如：We find it important to learn English well.我們發(fā)現(xiàn)學好英語很重要。 3. The Robinsons are moving again. 羅賓遜一家又要搬家了。這里的現(xiàn)在進行時并不表示正在發(fā)生的事情，而是表示即將發(fā)生的事情。英語中還有其他一些動詞具有這樣的特性，如come, go, leave等。例如：Hes coming. 他馬上就來了。The train is leaving this afternoon.列車下午發(fā)出。 4. They are counting down the days. 他們正在倒計時。 count down表示“倒數(shù)，倒計時”。 例如：We are counting down the days until the end of this semester.我們正在進行期末倒計時。 count 表示“計數(shù)，計算”。例如：Can you count from one to ten in French?你能用法語從一數(shù)到十嗎？He put all the money in his bag without counting it.他數(shù)也沒數(shù)就把錢全放進了包里。 Exercise1.
