joinin的意思是“參加某種活動;加入 到”。如: Wealljoinedinthegame.

我們都參與了游戲。discussion作名詞,它是由動詞discuss加后綴-ion而構成的,意為“討論;商討”。如:Therewillbeadiscussionaboutthedifferencesbetweenthetwowordsinourclassthisafternoon.小試:Howmanystudentsjoinedinthe_________(discuss)lastSunday?discussion2.AndIthinktheGiant’sCausewayis themostfantasticnaturalwonder.

我認為巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇觀。

巨人之路位于英國北愛爾蘭東部海岸,由大量多邊形石柱組成,綿延數(shù)百米,呈階梯狀延伸入海。1986年,巨人之路及其海岸(Giant’sCausewayandCausewayCoast)被聯(lián)合國教科文組織列入世界自然遺產名錄。3.Thatsoundsgreat,thoughIthink VictoriaFallsinAfricaisevenmorefantastic.

聽起來很神奇，但我認為非洲的維多利亞瀑布更壯觀。

維多利亞瀑布位于非洲贊比西河中游,贊比亞與津巴布韋接壤處,是世界上最壯觀的瀑布之一。瀑布上的水霧形成的彩虹景色十分迷人,瀑布的聲響可在數(shù)公里處聽到。因此,當?shù)厝朔Q之為“莫西奧圖尼亞”,意為“霹靂之霧”。4.Butinmyopinion,man-made wondersaremoreexcitingthan naturalones.

但是,在我看來,人造奇觀比自然奇 觀更激動人心。

本句中naturalones與man-made wonders相對應,ones代替前面提到 的wonders。inone’sopinion表示“按某人的意見;據(jù)某人看來”。如：Who,inyouropinion,isthebestfootballplayerintheworldtoday?在你看來,誰是當今世界上最好的足球運動員？5.thoughthough作連詞,意為“雖然;盡管”,常用來引導讓步狀語從句,從句可放在主句前或主句后,但不能與but或however出現(xiàn)在同一個句子中。如：
