Hi! I’m Aylin
from Xinjiang
Uygur
Autonomous
Region. This
is my favourite
skirt. It’s very
bright with red,
black and yellow
colours. I love
dancing so much.
When I dance,
my skirt moves
with me beautifully, like a peacock
spreading its feathers.
Hi! I’m Caixian, a Miao
girl. My grandma made
me this traditional dress.
It has many colourful
flowers on it. We
wear a lot of silver,
too. It is shiny and
pretty. This shiny
silver hat is special
because it was made by my dad. I
like it so much!
Hello! My name is Temur, and I’m a
Mongolian boy. Today I’m wearing
my blue robe, “deel”, and black
boots. They keep me warm when I
ride my horse. I’m learning archery

The film, The Eagle Huntress, tells Aisholpan’s story. Her father was an
eagle hunter. When she was small, Aisholpan wanted to be an eagle
hunter, too. So, she went to the high Altai Mountains with her father
to find a baby eagle. The journey was difficult and dangerous. But
Aisholpan did it. She found her baby eagle!
Aisholpan’s father became her trainer. Aisholpan trained hard in
freezing temperatures. Her
baby eagle grew into a big
and strong golden eagle.
In 2016, Aisholpan competed in the
Golden Eagle Festival. She was the first
Mongolian girl in the competition.
There were 70 competitors. She was the
youngest competitor and the only girl. And guess
what? Aisholpan and her eagle won. What an
amazing pair!

An online travel article
Last week, I visited the ancient city,
Pompeii. It was like going back in time!
About 2,000 years ago, Pompeii was
a busy and lively city in Italy. More
than 10,000 people lived there. They
enjoyed good food, music and art.
But everything changed in 79 CE. A
volcano near the city blew up. The
ash turned the sky dark. Pieces of
rock flowed down the mountain, and
hot gases filled the sky. Before long,
the city disappeared under 7 metres
of ash.
People found the lost city in 1748.
The ash kept everything. In 1997,
Pompeii became a UNESCO World
Heritage Site.

Cool experience! Did you get a tour guide for your

@Libby Yes, I did. I wanted to learn about
Pompeii’s history. My guide was very helpful.

I walked through the empty streets and buildings. I couldn’t help
imagining the city’s golden days. There was once a shopping centre,
a noisy theatre, a busy hospital and beautiful houses. We can find lost
things and learn from them. Isn’t it interesting?

It was a windy day in

look for it, so he picked up
the wallet and waited by the
road. But after about an hour,
nobody came. He checked
the wallet and found the
owner’s ID card, but there
was no other information like
a phone number. So he went
to the nearest police station. A
police officer found the owner,
Mr Wang. He was deeply
moved and wrote a thank-you

“This is a very natural thing to

Open questions: Questions like “What did
the bird look like?” Speakers need to share
more information to answer them.
Follow-up questions: These are questions
that are asked after speakers have given
an answer to another question, such as
asking “Where did you see the bird?" after
a friend mentioned seeing a bird. Follow-

We use “be going to” for future intentions: We’re going to go around Europe for one
month. We can also use “be going to” for future predictions when there is evidence
in the present. For example, Look at the clouds. It’s going to rain. For fixed plans in
the future, we can use present continuous: Tomorrow I’m flying back to the UK.
Get it right!

Notes on
the texts
1 My cat, Tangdou, is sleeping right here beside me.
译文：我的猫咪糖豆正在我旁边睡觉。
1） 句中的“Tangdou”是猫咪的名字，是主语“My cat”的同位
语。同位语通常指与前面的名词或名词短语在语法上处于同
等地位的名词或名词短语，起补充信息的作用，帮助我们更
好地理解名词或名词短语所代表的人或物。例如：
My sister, Emily, is practising a new song. 我的姐姐埃米莉正在
练习一首新歌。
The sun, a bright yellow star in the sky, gives us light and warmth.
太阳是天空中一个明亮的黄色星体。它给了我们光和温暖。
2） 在这句话中，“sleeping”是sleep 的现在分词形式，即动词
的-ing 形式，在句子中和系动词“is”一起充当句子的谓语，
构成现在进行时态，表示主语“my cat”正在进行的动作。
2 I’m sitting in a café and watching people from the window!
译文：我正坐在咖啡店里，从窗户看着来往的人们！
在这句话中，“and”连接了两个并列的动作—“sitting in a café”
和“watching people from the window”，表示主语“I”同时进行
的两个动作——一边坐着一边看来往的人们。
3 I’m also waiting for my friends Ting and Xiaobai.
译文：我还在等我的朋友婷和小白。
“wait for”是一个固定的短语，意为“等，等待”。例如：
They are waiting for the train to arrive. 他们正在等待火车进站。
She is waiting for her classmate outside the library. 她正在图书馆外
等她的同学。
1
92
4 Ting is wearing traditional Chinese clothes.
译文： 婷穿着中国传统服装。
1） 汉服是我国汉族人民的传统服饰，完善于汉朝，具有悠久的
历史和文化背景。它通常包括襦、袄、裙等，是我国古代人
的常见着装。现在，人们对汉服进行了现代化的设计和搭配，
创造出了不同的时尚风格，许多年轻人也热衷于将传统元素
融入服装、配饰和造型。这体现了对我国传统文化的尊重和
传承，也展现了传统和时尚的结合。
2） “traditional Chinese clothes”，当多个形容词共同修饰一个名
词时，通常按以下方式排列：描绘形容词—大小（长短高低）
形容词—形状形容词—年龄（新旧）形容词—颜色形容词—
国籍（产地）形容词—材料形容词—用途（类别）形容词。
例如：
This is a nice (好看的) small (小小的) round (圆形的) new (新的)
brown (褐色的) French (法国的) oaken (橡木制的) writing desk
(写字台).
5 I’m not having lunch at home.
译文：我不在家吃午饭。
在英语中，“at home”是一个固定的短语，用来表示“在家”。例如：
We usually have dinner at home at weekends. 周末我们通常在家吃

Notes on the texts
“常见问题解答”，通常在应用程序、论坛等平台上使用，旨在回
答用户经常提出的问题。它以简洁明了的问题和对应的答案形
式，帮助用户解决疑惑，提供指导和信息。
2 What sports do you like? Volleyball, football or gymnastics?
译文：你喜欢什么运动？排球、足球还是体操？
在句子中，“Volleyball, football or gymnastics?” 是一个省略的
问句，省略了主语和谓语动词，完整形式应该是“Do you like
volleyball, football or gymnastics?”。这种省略形式在英语中很常
见，通常是为了简化句子结构，强调信息。
3 If you like all three, Bossaball is the sport for you!
译文：如果你三者都喜欢，波沙球就是适合你的运动！
1） 在这个句子中，“if”引导了一个条件状语从句，用来表达假
设、条件或可能性。主句是“Bossaball is the sport for you”。
它们之间通常使用逗号连接。
2） Bossaball（波沙球）是一种结合了排球、足球和体操等元素
的娱乐性体育运动。它于2005 年由比利时人Filip Eyckmans
创立，现已被全球多个国家引入。波沙球的特点是在一个充
气的蹦床上搭建一个类似排球场的场地，参与者击球使其越
过球网、落到对方场地，球触地即可得分。参与者可以使用
手、臂、脚等身体部位做各种技巧动作，例如扣球、发球和
踢球等。波沙球结合了音乐和运动，创造了一种富有活力和
娱乐性的运动体验。
4 It’s suitable for people of all ages.
译文：它适合所有年龄段的人。
在这个句子中，“suitable for”后面接的是“people of all ages”，表
示波沙球适合所有年龄段的人群。“be suitable for”是英语中的固
定搭配，表示某物或某事适合特定的条件、情况或人群等。例如：
This movie is suitable for children. 这部电影适合儿童观看。
94
The jacket is suitable for cold weather. 这件夹克适合在寒冷的天
气穿。
5 It’s a mix of football, volleyball, gymnastics and music.
译文：它是足球、排球、体操和音乐的融合。
在这个句子中，“a mix of ”描述了波沙球融合了足球、排球、体
操和音乐这些不同元素的特性。“a mix of ”表示一种混合、融合
或组合，用来描述多种不同元素、特性或成分等的结合。例如：
The painting is a mix of blue and green colours. 这幅画融合了蓝色
和绿色。
The party is a mix of games, music and dancing. 这场派对融合了游
戏、音乐和舞蹈。
6 It isn’t boring to watch and it’s even more amazing to play.
译文：光看（比赛）就很有趣了，而亲自参与更加乐趣无穷。
句子中的两个“it”在这里均作为形式主语，分别指代后面的不
定式短语“to watch”和“to play”。使用形式主语是为了避免句
子头重脚轻，使句子结构更加协调。例如：
It’s wrong to tell a lie. 说谎是错误的。
1 From 1966 until 2003, there was a special gorilla in Barcelona
Zoo, Spain.
译文：从1966 年到2003 年，一只特别的大猩猩生活在西班牙巴
塞罗那动物园。
“from … until”这个短语描述了一个事件或者动作从开始到结束
的时间，强调了时间段的延续性，其中until 也可以用till 和to
替换，till 多用于口语中，例如：
The store is open from 8 am until 9 pm. 商店的营业时间是早上8 点
到晚上9 点。
I usually work from nine until / till five. = I usually work from nine to
five. 我通常从9 点工作到5 点。

2 His name was Snowflake, and he was born in Africa.
译文：他的名字叫雪花，出生在非洲。
“be born”是被动语态，其后不可接“by”引导的短语。“be born
in”后既可以接“大”地点，又可接表示年、月等的时间名词。
“be born on”后要接表示具体某一天等概念的名词。例如：
His wife was born in India. 他的妻子出生于印度。
Swift was born in 1667. 斯威夫特生于1667 年。
I was born on 15 December 2010. 我生于2010 年12 月15 日。
3 Snowflake was a star in the zoo because he was different – he was
the world’s only white gorilla at that time.
译文：雪花是动物园里的明星，因为他与众不同——他在当时是
世界上唯一一只白色大猩猩。
1） 句子中的“because”为连词，引导原因状语从句，把主句和
从句连接起来，主要用于说明主句中行为的“理由”或“原
因”。注意：表示因果关系的“because”和“so”通常不能
同时使用。例如：
He didn’t come to school today because he has got a fever. 他今
天没来上学，因为他发烧了。
2） 句子中的“only”为形容词，意为“唯一的，仅有的”，仅用
于名词前。例如：
He is our only child. 他是我们唯一的孩子。
She’s the only person for this job. 她是这项工作的唯一人选。
4 In the 1990s, in southern Africa, a baby elephant was born
without tusks.
译文：在20 世纪90 年代，一只没有象牙的小象出生在非洲南部。
1） 句中的“in the 1990s”是年代表示法，意为“在20 世纪90
年代”，也可以写作：“in the 1990’s”。注意：“the 1990s /
1990’s”要译为“20 世纪90 年代”，不能译为“19 世纪90
年代”。
96
2） “be born without …”可以看成一个固定表达，意为“生来就
没有……”。
5 About one hundred years ago, 99% of African elephants were
born with tusks.
译文：大约一百年前，百分之九十九的非洲象出生时都有象牙。
句子中的“one hundred years ago”意为“一百年前”，是一个常
用于一般过去时的时间状语，其他常见的一般过去时时间状语
还有很多，如：a few days ago，yesterday，at that moment / time，
last night / week / month / year 等。例如：
I’m sorry you’ve missed the train. It left 10 minutes ago. 很遗憾，你
错过了这班火车。它十分钟前开走了。
—When did you visit your old friend?
—The day before yesterday.
——你什么时候去看你的老朋友的？
——前天。
6 Artico’s parents were orange tigers with black stripes.
译文：阿尔蒂科的父母都是橙色带黑条纹的老虎。
句中的“with black stripes” 是一个介词短语，用作“orange
tigers”的后置定语。例如：
a book with a green cover 一本绿色封面的书
We need someone with new ideas. 我们需要有新观念的人。
7 Today, there are only about 200 Bengal tigers without stripes in
the world.
译文：今天，世界上只有大概两百只没有条纹的孟加拉虎。
句中的“without stripes” 也是一个介词短语，用作“Bengal
tigers”的后置定语。例如：
a house without a graden 一栋不带花园的房子
Do you take your coffee with or without sugar? 你的咖啡加不加糖？

1 Last week, I visited the ancient city, Pompeii.
译文：上周我参观了古城庞贝。
庞贝（Pompeii）是意大利那不勒斯附近的一座古城，约建于公
元前7 世纪。庞贝城建造在史前熔岩流上，呈不规则形状。公元
79 年维苏威火山喷发，庞贝被火山灰湮没。至1748 年开始挖掘
时，庞贝已经被埋葬了近1700 年。
庞贝古城1997 年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，城中保留
有石头街道、各种建筑物、工艺品及雕塑、壁画等大量遗迹，为
考古学研究留下了宝贵的遗产。
2 But everything changed in 79 CE.
译文：但是公元79 年，一切都变了。
CE（Common Era）意为“公元”，是国际通行的纪年体系，用
于表示从公元1 年开始算起的年份。与其对应的是BCE（Before
the Common Era），指“公元前”，表示公元1 年以前的年份。
3 A volcano near the city blew up.
译文：庞贝城附近的一座火山爆发了。
1） 此处火山指“维苏威火山”。维苏威火山是欧洲大陆著名的
活火山，位于意大利南部那不勒斯湾畔。最著名的一次喷发
在公元79 年，将附近包括庞贝（Pompeii）在内的许多古城
湮没。
2） blow up 意为“爆炸，炸毁，爆发”。例如：
The enemies planned to blow up the bridge. 敌人计划炸毁桥梁。
A storm blew up on the sea. 海面袭来一阵暴雨。
根据搭配及语境的不同，此短语也可引申为“发脾气”或
“（形势、争论等）突然加剧，事情急剧恶化或失控”。例如：
He blew up when he found out the truth. 发现真相时他火冒三丈。
The accident blew up into a disaster in the end. 这场意外最终成
了一个灾难。
98
4 Before long, the city disappeared under 7 metres of ash.
译文：很快，7 米厚的火山灰就湮没了这座城市。
1） 短语before long 意为“很快，不久以后”。例如：
The snow stopped before long. 雪很快就停了。
It began to rain, but before long, the sun came out again. 天开始
下雨，但很快，太阳又出来了。
注意区分该短语与long before。before long 指未来的时间，
long before 指过去的时间，后要跟sb/sth，意为“在……之前
很久”。例如：
The train came long before us. 我们到的时候，火车早到了。
People wrote letters to each other long before phones were
invented. 手机发明之前，人们彼此写信交流。
2） “7 metres of ash”用来描述火山灰的厚度。“数词 + 量词 + of +
名词”这种结构在英语中常常用来描述度量对象的数量。
例如：
3 litres of milk 3 升牛奶
5 kilograms of rice 5 千克大米
10 pounds of apples 10 磅苹果
4 glasses of water 4 杯水
5 The ash kept everything.
译文：火山灰将一切保存了下来。
kept 是动词keep 的过去式，在这句话中，用作及物动词，表示
“保存，保留”，它描述了火山灰如何有效地保存了庞贝城在火山
爆发前的状态，包括建筑、艺术品，甚至居民的生活痕迹。例如：
The museum kept all the artifacts safe for centuries. 博物馆将所有的
文物安全保存了数百年。
6 In 1997, Pompeii became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
译文：庞贝在1997 年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。
1） UNESCO 指联合国教科文组织，全称United Nations Educational,
99
Notes on the texts
Scientific and Cultural Organization，是联合国专门机构之一，
总部设于法国巴黎。
2） World Heritage Site 指“世界遗产”，即“世界文化与自然遗
产”，是经联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会确认的、人类文
明史和地球发展史上罕见的、无法取代的、具有世界价值和
特殊意义的自然景观和文物古迹。世界遗产包括文化遗产、
自然遗产、文化和自然遗产（双重遗产）及文化景观四类。
7 I couldn’t help imagining the city’s golden days.
译文：我不禁想象着这座城市的黄金时代。
can’t help doing something 表示“忍不住（或无法抑制）做某事”，
又作“can’t help but do sth.”。例如：
I can’t help thinking about the problem. 我忍不住去想那个问题。
She couldn’t help laughing when she saw that. 她看到那个时忍不住
大笑起来。
8 Isn’t it interesting?
译文：这不是很有趣吗？
这是一个否定疑问句。否定疑问句常见语序为“助动词/ 系动词
be + n’t + 主语”，可以表示就肯定相信的事实要求证实，即暗示
说话人想要得到yes 或其他正面的回答。例如：
Isn’t the weather lovely? 天气不是很好吗？（= Of course the weather
is lovely.）
Didn’t she forget our birthday? 难道她不是忘了我们的生日吗？
（Yes. She did forget our birthday.）
本句位于段落末尾，暗示作者认为我们可以从庞贝古城遗迹中发
现和学习到很多东西，这是很有趣的一件事。
9 Did people in Pompeii survive the disaster?
译文：庞贝古城的人们在灾难中幸存下来了吗？
survive 有两种用法。作及物动词时，表示“从……幸存；挺过，
100
艰难度过；比……活得久”，后面直接跟宾语。例如：
Luckily, they survived the plane crash. 幸运的是，他们从坠机中幸
存下来。
This small plant survived the cold winter. 这株弱小的植物挺过了这
个寒冬。
Humans survive other animals by many years. 人类比其他动物多活
很多年。
本句中的survive the disaster 即为这种用法。
survive 也可作不及物动词，意思与及物动词的含义相近，表示
“存活；挺过去，艰难度日；遗留，留存”，但后面不能跟宾语。
例如：
Few animals survived after the forest fire. 森林火灾后，几乎没有动
物生还。
People in that country are struggling to survive. 那个国家的人们艰
难度日。
What makes a writer’s work survive? 是什么让作家的作品留存于世？
1 Do you want a new experience this summer?
译文：你想在今年夏天获得新的体验吗？
此句中，“experience”为可数名词，指的是单个特定的经历、事
件或体验。例如：
I had a great experience hiking in the mountains. 我有过一次很棒的
在山里徒步旅行的经历。
当“experience”作不可数名词时，指的是（某项工作或活动方面
的）经验、（生活的）经验或阅历。例如：
Travelling gives you valuable experience. 旅行使你获得宝贵的经验。
Experience told me not to believe him. 经验告诉我不要相信他。

2 Go mountain biking.
译文：进行山地骑行。
go 与-ing 形式连用，表示没有固定开始时间或结束时间的活动。
这种结构常用于体育休闲活动的表达方式中，例如：

3 Learn to light a fire.
译文：学会生火。
“learn to do”表示通过学习获得某种能力或技能，通常用于描述广
泛的能力或技能，强调的是整体的学习过程。例如：
learn to cook 学会做饭
learn to play a musical instrument 学习演奏一种乐器
与之相对，“learn doing”表示学习或掌握某种具体的技能或动
作。强调的是实际动作的学习过程。这个结构通常用于描述具体
的操作、技能或动作。例如：
learn cooking 学习烹饪
learn playing the guitar 学习弹吉他
两者的区别在于着重点的不同，一个强调了整体的技能，另一个
强调了具体的动作。
4 Get to make new friends.
译文：有机会结交新朋友。
1） “get to do”表示有机会、有幸或得以做某事，通常用于描述
某人有机会去体验或完成某种活动、动作或目标。例如：
get to travel 有机会旅行
get to meet someone 有机会见到某人
get to try a new dish 有机会尝试新的菜肴
2） “make friends”是一个固定搭配，表示结交朋友。例如：
102
During the summer camp, I had the opportunity to make friends
from different countries. 在夏令营期间，我有机会结交来自不
同国家的朋友。
