The area of modern Scotland was never finally conquered.AberdeenLiverpoolCambridgeCambridge UniversityOxford University of OxfordBirminghamManchesterEdinburghLondonBig BenHouses of Parliamentthe River ThamesTrafalgar SquareThe Tower BridgeSt Paul’s CathedralBuckingham PalaceThe British people are said to be reserved in manners, dress and speech.

[参考译文]我不知道您对伦敦有什么期望,但是我知道您从来没有到亚洲以外的地方旅游过,所以我想告诉您一些您可能看到的情况。 (1) 这个句子由but 连接的两个并列句组成;
(2) 第一个并列句中由what引导的名词性从句作宾语;在本句中,of London的正常位置在are的前面,还原为:I don’t know what your expectations of London are,由于宾语从句的谓语动词are太短,故而将其提前,放在了of London的前面。[结构分析](3) 第二个并列句中含有一个现在分词
结构knowing that you’ve never travelled outside of Asia作原因状语,相当于原因状语从句since I know that you’ve never travelled outside of Asia。2. To avoid getting confused about the British tipping system, you need to check your bill to see if a tip is included or not.

(2) to see if ... 作check your bill 的目的状语,其中if a tip is included or not是名词性从句,作see的宾语;
(3) To avoid getting confused about the British tipping system 作全句的目的状语。3. I think we should consider staying in the English countryside for a few nights as I know you enjoy hiking.
[参考译文]
我知道您喜欢远足,所以我想我们应该在英国的乡村住几晚。
[结构分析]
(1) 主句的谓语动词think后面是一个宾语从句;
(2) as引导了一个原因状语从句。
由于他的粗心,他没有通过考试。
(2) 史密斯先生还欠我1000美元。
(3) 他认为自己是靠自己的能力成功的。
(4) 我们老板拥有五辆汽车。Owing to his carelessness, he failed in the exam. Mr. Smith still owes me 1,000 dollars. He owed his success to his own ability. Our boss owns five cars. 翻译句子:2. I’ve just been so busy studying and trying to absorb all the new things around me — I think I’m still experiencing culture shock.
[点拨]
absorb在此处作及物动词,表示“吸收/理解(知识等)”。又如:
Too much information was given out at the meeting; I couldn’t absorb it at once.
会议上给出的信息太多了,我没有办法一下子全部理解。absorb还可以表示“承受;经受”。如:
Last year, our company absorbed a £7m loss because of the failed plan.
因为那个失败的方案,我们公司去年承受了七百万英镑的损失。
absorb 还常与in连用,表示“使全神贯注”。如:
He was so absorbed in his task that he didn’t notice dusk approaching.
他全神贯注于自己的任务,以至于没有发现黄昏的来临。我们应该种植更多的树木来吸收污染。
We should plant more trees to absorb the
pollution.

Having absorbed what is said to her, she
became very angry.

the book. 翻译句子:3. You’re going to have to get used to bacon and eggs with a few slices of toast for breakfast over here, Aunt Mei!
[点拨]
get used to表示“习惯于做某事/适应某物或某事”。此处的to是一个介词,其后要接名词或动名词。又如:
Don’t worry. You will soon get used to the climate here.
别担心,你很快就会适应这里的气候的。HomeworkDo exercises6 on page 37.
