论吧。
(1)join in 意为“参加某种活动; 加入到”。
e.g.We all joined in the game.
我们都参与了游戏。Language Points(2)discussion 作名词, 它是由动词discuss 加后缀-ion而构成的, 意为“讨论; 商讨”。
e.g.We had a long discussion about the plans for
next year.
我们对来年的计划进行了长时间的讨论。
练习: How many students joined in the
_________(discuss) last Sunday?discussion 2. That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa is even more fantastic.
听起来很神奇，但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。
（1）维多利亚瀑布位于非洲赞比西河中游, 赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处, 是世界上最壮观的瀑布之一。瀑布上的水雾形成的彩虹景色十分迷人, 瀑布的声响可在数公里处听到。因此, 当地人称之为“莫西奥图尼亚”, 意为“霹雳之雾”。（2）though 作连词, 意为“虽然; 尽管”, 相当于although，常用来引导让步状语从句, 从句可放在主句前或主句后, 但不能与but 或however 出现在同一个句子中。
e.g.Though/Although they are poor,they are
happy.(√)
=They are poor,but they are happy.(√)
虽然他们很穷，但很快乐。 3. But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones.
但是,在我看来,人造奇观比自然奇观更令
人激动。
(1)in one’s opinion 意为“按某人的意见; 据某人看来”。
e.g.In Mary's opinion,Jim is a lazy boy.
在玛丽看来，吉姆是个懒男孩。(2)本句中natural ones与man-made wonders相对应, ones代替前面提到的wonders。
辨析：one，oneself，that与those
one,ones,that和those主要用来代替居中或上文中已提到过的人或物，以避免重复，但用法有所区别。
a）one和ones用来代替可数名词，表示泛指。当它们被定语修饰，表示特指时，前面有定冠词。
b）that常用来代替可数名词单数或不可数名词。those常用来代替可数名词复数。
