(4)away from用于表示确切的距离(此时不用far),away可省略,但如果句子不带from短语,则不能省。如: He lives two miles (away) from here. 他住的地方离这儿有两英里远。 He lives two miles away. 他住在两英里远的地方。 注意:不能说:He lives two miles far from here. 2.beach,coast,seaside,shore 这四个词都可用来表示“海滨”这一意思。beach指海边、湖边或河边比较平坦、覆盖沙或小石子、适宜于游泳、日光浴或度假的地方;seaside与beach同义,但只能是海边娱乐的地方;shore是谈及水域的一种较为笼统的说法,既可指beach,也可指陡峭岩石耸立的地方;coast常指海洋与陆地的分界线,是一个谈及地图、气候、海岸防卫时的用语。 试比较下面的句子: (1)I like lying on the beach bathing in the sun. 我喜欢躺在沙滩上,沐浴着阳光。 They walked for a while along the beach. 他们沿海滩走了一会儿。 (2)After the storm there was a lot of driftwood washed up on the shore. 暴风雨之后,许多浮木被冲到了岸上。 We found many shells on the sea shore. 我们在海岸上找到了许多贝壳。 (3)She spent her summer holidays by the seaside. 她在海边度过了她的暑假。 4.Looking down from the plane,we could see the French coast. 我们从飞机上往下看,可以看到法国的海岸线。 There are numerous islands off the coast. 海岸边有许多岛屿。 Ⅳ.能力训练 1.对比练习 (1)be known as/be known for George______ ______ ______ a successful banker.
