◆典句赏析

1.The white windmills,the white houses with blue doors and windows,the sunset,the lazy cats and the Mediterranean Ocean,those are very unique and beautiful.白色的风车、带有蓝色门窗的白色房子、日落、慵懒的猫和地中海，那些都非常独特、非常美。

介词with意为“带有；具有”,介词短语with blue doors and windows在句中作定语，修饰前面的名词houses。

2.The capital of this beautiful island is Fira,and it is an ideal place to view the ocean and the sunset!这个美丽岛屿的首府是费拉，费拉是一个观赏大海和日落的理想之地！

句中to view the ocean and the sunset是动词不定式短语作定语，修饰前面的名词place。

3.The sunset attracts many visitors to come to Fira every day in summer.在夏天，日落每天都吸引了许多游客来费拉。

固定搭配attract sb.to do sth.意为“吸引某人做某事”；to come to...为动词不定式短语，作宾语补足语，对宾语进行补充、说明。

4.I am so happy that I have been to such a wonderful place,Greece,with my parents in an early summer vacation.我很高兴能在一个初夏的假期里，和我父母去希腊这么美的地方。

表示情感的形容词，如glad、pleased、afraid等，其后可接宾语从句。此句happy后接的就是这种宾语从句，说明产生这些情绪的原因；介词短语with my parents作方式状语，意为“和我的父母一起”；介词短语in an early summer vacation作时间状语，表明动作发生的时间；have been to意为“曾经去过”。
