1.In this much-travelled world,there are still thousands of places which areinaccessible to tourists.
在這個旅游頻繁的世界上,仍有成千上萬個游人足跡未至的地方。
語言點:much-travelled world為“復合形容詞+n.”結構的短語,不能說busy world,busy指的是“事情多”。
2.We always assume that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable.
人們總是以為偏僻的地方的村民們熱情好客。
語言點1:句子結構分析:assume that…的意境比think that…要深的多。
語言點2: friendly and hospitable作表語。
3.But people who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but even from their owncountrymen can be hostile to travellers.
但是,那些不但與外國旅游者隔絕,而且與本國同胞隔絕的人們有可能對游客抱有敵意。
語言點:can be hostile to的意思是“可能對…抱有敵意”。
