NOTES
1. France is calling

2. Now that winter is behind us, many people are starting to think about going abroad for the summer holidays.
由于冬天已經(jīng)過(guò)去,很多人都開(kāi)始考慮暑假出國(guó)旅游的事了。
now that相當(dāng)于since,用于引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。
注意abroad拼寫(xiě)上與aboard的區(qū)別。試比較:go abroad(出國(guó)),go aboard(上車(chē);上船;上飛機(jī))。
3. This gear,why not spread your wings and visit France?
今年,為何不遠(yuǎn)行去法國(guó)看看呢?

--That's a good idea. 真是個(gè)好主意!
句中的spread your wings意為“展開(kāi)翅膀”,、是擬物的用法,spread意為“展開(kāi)”。此外,在6A Unit 9曾學(xué)過(guò)to spread on the bread,spread意為“抹”。

擁有埃菲爾鐵塔和凱旋門(mén)這樣馳名于世的地標(biāo)性建筑,以及綠樹(shù)成蔭的寬闊街道,巴黎不愧是世界上最美麗的城市之一。
