Notes:

1. crowded ['kraudid] a. 拥挤的 例: Paris is a crowded city. 巴黎是一座拥挤的城市。

2. have [got] to (do) 必须，不得不，得，一定。在翻译成汉语时该短语与 must 译成汉语很相似，请注意 “have to (do)” 所强调的是客观上的“必须，一定”即“不得不，得”，意思是：“不得已”。而 “must” 所强调的则是主观上“必须，一定”即“一定要”。试比较：After the flood, his grandfather had to borrow grain from the landlord. 大水之后，他爷爷不得已向地主借了粮食。We must realize the four modernizations. 我们一定要实现四个现代化。
