高三英语课文理解 Unit 23 Grade 1

　　1. They are now at breakfast, talking about the plan for their trip. 他们正在吃早餐，并谈论着旅行计划。

　　句中talking about the plan for their trip是动词的-ing短语，作状语，表示伴随动作。又如：I was then in bed, thinking of the days in my childhood. 当时我躺在床上，想起了童年的日子。They were on their way to the temple, talking and laughing. 他们说着笑着在去寺庙的路上走着。

　　2. It was carved in the rock and had on the outside four large stone figures, each of which was 20 metres high. 这座神庙凿在岩石上，外面有4尊大型石雕像，每尊高达20米。

　　Each of which was 20 metres high是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的figures.这种非限制性定语从句的构造是名词+介词+关系代词来引导。如：They live in a house, the door of which opens to the north. 他们所住的房子的门是朝北的。China has hundreds of islands, the largest of which is Taiwan. 中国有上千个岛屿，其中最大的是台湾。There are around 150 teachers in our school, most of whom are women. 我们学校大约有150教师，他们中大多数是女教师。

　　3. The White family are on holiday in Egypt. 怀特一家人在埃及度假。集合名词family 指家庭成员时用复数：His family are all music lovers. 他一家人都喜欢音乐。若看成是一个集体时用单数：His family is a big one. 他的家是一个大家庭。
