重点语法结构
-
Our trip to Chile wouldn't have been complete without a visit to the capital, so towards the end of our stay we decided to visit Santiago.
➔ 第三条件句 (would have + 过去分词)
➔ “wouldn't have been complete”这句话表达了一个不真实的过去条件及其结果。这意味着旅行*需要*参观圣地亚哥才能完全令人满意。该结构强调了一个没有发生的情况。
-
We had 4 days to discover what the city was all about, so we set out to visit the main attractions, sample Chilean food, and explore various neighborhoods on foot.
➔ 目的不定式 (to discover)
➔ “to discover”解释了他们有4天的*原因*——他们时间的目的是探索。使用平行不定式(“to visit”、“to sample”、“to explore”)创建了一个平衡且简洁的活动列表。
-
We may not have been able to see it all, but the following is our experience in the city.
➔ 情态动词表示可能性 (may not have been able)
➔ “may not have been able”表达了他们看到所有东西的能力的不确定性。它承认了一种限制,但没有明确说明。 “but”引入了一个对比——尽管有这种限制,他们仍然有经验可以分享。
-
Santa Lucia is an urban park smack dab in the middle of Santiago and it’s a popular hangout in the afternoons and weekends.
➔ 缩写 (it’s)
➔ 缩写“it’s”是“it is”的缩写形式。这是口语和非正式书面英语的常见特征,使句子更自然地流动。“smack dab”这个短语是一个习语,意思是正中央。
