[分析]本句采用句型“sb./sth.besaid+不定式短語”，意為“據說……”，可以轉換為句型“Itissaidthat……”

故本句可改寫為:____________themoonisitsbiggestandbrightestonthisday.ItissaidthatExercise:1.據說他是世界上最富有的人。____________thatheistherichestmanintheworld.=He_____________betherichestmanintheworld.issaidtoItissaid2.Traditionalmooncakesareusuallymadewithbeanpaste,butnowadays,therearemanydifferentkindsofmooncakesincludingfruit,coffee,chocolateandevenice-creammooncakes.

[分析]本句是一個由but連接的并列句。其中,bemadewith

意為“由……制成”，后跟某物的部分組成材料，而不是整體的基本材料。

Exercise:1.這湯是用肉和蔬菜制成的。
