Chapter 1 France is calling

france is excellent for travelling. 法國非常值得去旅游。注意be excellent for 與 be excellent in 的區別：be excellent in 在……方面很出色。e.g.: mandy is excellent in swimming. 曼迪非常擅長游泳。skiing（n.） 滑雪運動e.g.: people in the north enjoy skiing in winter. 北方人們冬天都喜歡滑雪。ski（v.） 滑雪（n.）滑雪板 skier（n.） 滑雪者…which are excellent for skiing 是定語從句，修飾 mountain regions。6. the centre of france is a big, agricultural region, growing crops such as wheat and sunflowers. 法國中部是廣闊的農業區，種植小麥和向日葵等農作物。there is not much agricultural land in shanghai. 上海現在的耕地不多。agriculture（n.） 農業 such as 是：例如，諸如的意思。fatty food such as french fries are bad for your health. 像薯條這樣的高脂食品對你的健康有害。people grow crops, such as wheat and sunflowers in this area. 這個地區種植如小麥和向日葵這樣的莊稼。辨析：for example, such as 和like上述三個詞都有：例如的意思，但在使用中是有區別的。for example 作：例如講的時候，一般指以同類事物或人中的：“一個”為例，作插入語，用逗號隔開，可置于句首，句中，句末。e.g.: a lot of things are invisible in the world. for example, air is invisible. 世界上許多東西是肉眼看不見的。例如，空氣就是看不見的。he, for example, is a good student. 例如，他就是個好學生。such as 用來列舉同類人或事物中的若干個例子。e.g.: some of the european languages come from latin, such as french, italian and spanish.有些歐洲語言來源于拉丁語系，例如，法語，意大利語和西班牙語。boys such as john and james are very friendly. 像約翰和詹姆斯這樣的男孩都很友好。要注意，such as 的后面沒有逗號。like 也常常用來表示舉例，可與such as 互換。但such as用于列舉時可以分開使用，此時不可以與like 互換。e.g.: some warm-blooded animals, like/such as the cat, the dog or the wolf, do not need to hibernate. 一些溫血動物，如貓，狗和狼都不需要冬眠。he has several such reference books as dictionaries and handbooks.他有幾本像字典，手冊之類的參考書。growing crops such as wheat and flowers 在句子中是現在分詞短語作后置定語，用于修飾之前的region。因此，本句也可以用定語從句來表示：the centre of france is a big, agricultural region which grows crops such as wheat and sunflowers.7. it is amazing to drive past fields which seem to go on forever or whole hills covered with neat rows of grapevines. 驅車經過連綿不斷的田野或滿山一排排整齊的葡萄藤，真是令人心曠神怡。it is amazing to do sth. 是：做某事真讓人驚奇的意思。在表達此類意思時，我們經常會用到：it is +形容詞+帶to的動詞不定式的結構。在這個句型中，it是：形式主語，而非句子的真正主語。句子的真正主語是：動詞不定式部分。
