希臘，奧林匹克的起源地。除此之外，希臘的風(fēng)車、帶有藍色門窗的白房子、日落、慵懶的貓和地中海也都是那么獨特，那么美。那么，你知道哪個地方是這個國家的藝術(shù)、學(xué)術(shù)和哲學(xué)的中心嗎？讓我們隨著作者一起走入這塊美妙之地尋找答案吧！

Greece has always been a dream destination of mine. The white windmills （風(fēng)車）， the white houses with blue doors and windows， the sunset（日落）， the lazy cats and the Mediterranean Ocean， those are very unique and beautiful. You can only find them in this wonderful country.

The colors of blue and white are everywhere in Greece. Blue represents （代表） the sea， while white represents purity （純潔） and the clouds in the sky.

The first day， the tour guide took me to Mykonos Island. It is one of the Greeces most popular places. On the 4th and 5th day of the tour， I was taken to the beautiful Santorini Island. As the ship was close to the port， the white color of the houses came into view. The view can make almost everyone believe that he or she has been to the most beautiful place on earth！ The capital of this beautiful island is Fira， and it is an ideal place to view the ocean and the sunset！ The sunset attracts many visitors to come to Fira every day in summer.

The last two days I went to the capital of Greece， Athens. It is the center of arts， learning and philosophy （哲學(xué)）.

I am so happy that I have been to such a wonderful place， Greece， with my parents in an early summer vaca?

tion. I saw views along the journey and I met people during the trip. They brought me beauty and great pleasure. It could last a lifetime.

典句賞析

1.The white windmills， the white houses with blue doors and windows， the sunset， the lazy cats and the Mediterranean Ocean， those are very unique and beautiful. 白色的風(fēng)車、帶有藍色門窗的白色房子、日落、慵懶的貓和地中海，那些都非常獨特、非常美。

介詞with意為“帶有;具有”，介詞短語with blue doors and windows在句中作定語，修飾前面的名詞houses。

2.The capital of this beautiful island is Fira， and it is an ideal place to view the ocean and the sunset！ 這個美麗島嶼的首府是費拉，費拉是一個觀賞大海和日落的理想之地！

句中to view the ocean and the sunset是動詞不定式短語作定語，修飾前面的名詞place。

3.The sunset attracts many visitors to come to Fira every day in summer. 在夏天，日落每天都吸引了許多游客來費拉。

固定搭配attract sb. to do sth.意為“吸引某人做某事”;to come to...為動詞不定式短語， 作賓語補足語，對賓語進行補充、說明。

4.I am so happy that I have been to such a wonderful place， Greece， with my parents in an early summer vacation. 我很高興能在一個初夏的假期里，和我父母去希臘這么美的地方。

表示情感的形容詞，如glad、pleased、afraid等，其后可接賓語從句。此句happy后接的就是這種賓語從句，說明產(chǎn)生這些情緒的原因;介詞短語with my parents作方式狀語，意為“和我的父母一起”;介詞短語in an early summer vacation作時間狀語，表明動作發(fā)生的時間;have been to意為“曾經(jīng)去過”。
