① 本句结构是:主语(Skiing in the Rocky Mountains and sailing in the harbour) + 谓语(make) + 宾语(Vancouver) + 宾语补足语(one of Canada’s most popular cities to live in)。② 本句用动词 -ing 形式短语(Skiing in the Rocky Mountains and sailing in the harbour)作主语。在宾语补足语中,动词不定式 to live in 作定语,修饰 cities。 5.

阅读下列句子,注意 manage to do 的意思和用法。
1) Although he hasn’t received any formal education, Mr Wang managed to finish his task.
2) We should manage to realize our dream.
[归纳总结] manage to do sth. (= succeed in doing sth.) 是“设法做、设法完成某事”的意思。[辨析]
manage to do与try to do 用manage时,成功的把握大些;用try时,成功的把握不大。即:manage to do sth.的意思是“设法成功地完成……”,而try to do sth.的意思是“尽力做……(但结果不一定成功)”。如:
He worked hard and managed to pass the exam.
他努力学习并顺利通过了考试。
He tried to pass the exam, but failed because of laziness.
他试图想通过考试,但是由于懒惰而最终失败了。[即学即练] 按要求完成下列各题。
