◆典句賞析

1.And there is the largest Gothic cathedral in Italy and one of the world's top opera houses.而且它（米蘭）有意大利最大的哥特式教堂和一所世界頂級的歌劇院。

“one of+the+形容詞最高級+名詞復(fù)數(shù)”意為“……中；最……之一”。

【即時嘗試】他是我們班最高的男孩之一。

2.The Argentine football makes the people in Argentina feel happiness,honor and dignity.阿根廷足球讓阿根廷人民感到幸福，擁有榮譽和尊嚴(yán)。

“make sb.do sth.”是固定搭配，意為“使某人做某事”；feel在這里作及物動詞，意為“覺得；感知”，后接名詞或代詞作賓語。

【即時嘗試】課堂上，王老師總是讓我回答問題。

3.Brazil is widely regarded as the kingdom of the football and Rio de Janeiro is the center of the kingdom.巴西被認(rèn)為是足球的王國，而里約熱內(nèi)盧則是王國的中心。

regard...as...是固定詞組，意為“把……認(rèn)作……”，as是介詞，后接名詞、代詞、分詞等。此句中用了regard...as...的被動語態(tài)形式。

【即時嘗試】她被認(rèn)為是一名優(yōu)秀的班長。

4.Compared with the famous Manchester derby and Liverpool derby,London derby seems less likely to be mentioned.比起著名的曼徹斯特德比和利物浦德比，倫敦德比似乎不太可能被提及。

Compared with the famous Manchester derby and Liverpool derby是過去分詞短語，在句中作狀語；to be mentioned是動詞不定式的被動形式。

【即時嘗試】與地球上的生活相比，火星上的生活在有些方面要好些。

米蘭

米蘭是一個藝術(shù)的圣地，而且它有意大利最大的哥特式教堂和一所世界頂級的歌劇院。米蘭是世界時尚之都，像阿瑪尼、華倫天奴等品牌在時裝界都是眾所周知的。當(dāng)然，國際米蘭和AC米蘭是市內(nèi)著名的足球俱樂部。這兩隊都取得過輝煌的戰(zhàn)績，贏得了眾多球迷的喜愛。

布宜諾斯艾利斯

布宜諾斯艾利斯是阿根廷足球的靈魂。這里是馬拉多納的故鄉(xiāng)，它有像博卡青年一樣的數(shù)百個足球俱樂部，這些足球俱樂部幾乎代表了阿根廷的歷史和現(xiàn)狀。阿根廷足球讓阿根廷人民感到幸福，擁有榮譽和尊嚴(yán)。

里約熱內(nèi)盧

里約熱內(nèi)盧有最燦爛的陽光，最美麗的海灘。巴西被認(rèn)為是足球的王國，而里約熱內(nèi)盧則是王國的中心。這里擁有諸如達(dá)迦馬和弗拉門弋等許多足球俱樂部。

倫敦

比起著名的曼徹斯特德比和利物浦德比，倫敦德比似乎不太可能被提及，這并不是因為沒有倫敦德比。事實上，阿森納對托特納姆熱刺，切爾西對西漢姆聯(lián)隊和查爾頓對富勒姆都是倫敦德比。在歐洲，除倫敦外，沒有任何城市有這么多的高層次專業(yè)隊伍。倫敦已經(jīng)成為一個真正的足球之都。
