Main points of the text

Passage 1

1. Experience a week in Europe with seven nights in Germany and one night in Paris, France.

这句话是省略句，前面省略了You’ll。Experience在这里是动词（v.）,”experience” in the phrase “get a bit of real life experience”取得一点实际生活经验 in Dialogue B of Unit 3 is a noun 名词(n.)

We prefer to use ”in” before the names of larger places and “at” before the names of smaller places在大的地方的名称前我们常用in，小的地方的名称前我们常用at。For instance, we say “arrive at the post office” but “arrive in Moscow. But it’s not always necessarily so. 实际并不总是这样。英语的许多规则都有例外。For example, we say  “at the hotel” but “in the room”.

2. You’ll spend the first night and following morning there.

    序数词用时前面要加the。the following morning 第二天 Why don’t we use “tomorrow morning”? Because we aren’t talking about tomorrow’s tour itinerary but that of some day in the future.

3. There you will spend the afternoon and early evening experiencing Oktoberfest!

spend some time / money / energy (精力) (on) doing sth. 花时间/金钱/精力做…

eg. I have spent $ 100 (on) buying English novels (小说) this month..

4. You can enjoy sightseeing and some of the world’s best outdoor activities. All of these are only minutes from your hotel.

enjoy 后面要用动名词。同样要求的动词还有like doing sth. 喜欢做某事，finish doing sth.做完某事 stop doing sth. 停止做某事, mind doing sth. 介意做某事, begin doing sth. 开始做某事等。

some of 和one of 一样后面的名词要用复数；all of these 代的是复数名词，故后面的be要变成are。

5. An optional two-night stay in Paris is offered on the way back.

Optional 可供选择的。这句话意思是说从慕尼黑到巴黎后你可以马上回美国也可以选择在巴黎逗留两天。

two-night stay中的 two-night是形容词（adj.）。如果中间没有“-”，night就要变成复数。

6. round-trip flight 往返航班。这里指提供往返机票。

7. European breakfast daily

七大洲的名称及其形容词：

亚洲Asia  Asian  欧洲Europe  European  非洲 Africa  African北/南美洲North/South America American 大洋州Oceania Oceanian 南极洲Antarctica Antarctic

Passage 2

8. Your holidays could be very special this year.

Do you know why the ad says the holiday could be special this year? Let’s go on and see.

9. You’ll find lots of bargains waiting for you…

find sb. doing sth. 发现某人正在做某事。请注意它与find sb. do sth. “发现某人做某事”的区别。

eg. Just then I found a shoplifter (is) putting something into his pocket.

    恰在那时我看见一个商店扒手正把什么东西往自己口袋里放。(强调看见动作正在发生)

    Just then I found a shoplifter take down something from the shelf and put it

into his pocket.

恰在那时我看见一个商店扒手从货架上拿下了什么东西放进了自己的口袋。(强调看见动作发生的全过程)

10. The lists goes on and on.

这样的重复是一种修辞手段，为了加强语气。

11. …and even a trip to the mainland of China

广告中用even（甚至）一词是因为当时Hong Kong还没有回归，游客很难从那里直接过到 the mainland of China（中国大陆）这边来，这也正是广告中宣传的卖点之一。

12. The Last Tour Before British Rule Ends!

英国统治结束前的最后一次旅行。Now you must understand why the ad say this holiday is special. Indeed! 广告中的日期是December 2 – 8，想必是1996年。当时许多不理解我国“One country two system”政策的西方人以为97回归以后香港的繁荣一定不复存在。广告策划者正是抓住了这个心理对此次旅行的必要性大加渲染，三峡旅游的广告不也是着眼于类似的卖点吗？商业和政治真是密不可分。

13. Walking tour of Kowloon, Baggage handling

    所列项目都用名词性质的词组，有动词就改成动名词。文章标题也是如此。
