三、重点句子

e.g. It took him a lot of money to buy that house.

2．A temple is a place of great importance to Buddhists.

of great importance 相当于very important，类似的有： of great value 相当于quite valuable

3．Now they're living a happy new life in different areas.

live...life 过着......的生活

live a happy life 过快乐的生活 live a miserable life 过悲惨的生活

4．Some of them are being removed and some are being put into museums.

be being done 为进行时态的被动语态 e.g. The house is being painted.

5．At the time it was built, Chek Lap Kok Airport in Hongkong was the biggest civil engineering project of all time.

此句中the time用作一个连词，可直接引导一个句子。

6．Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain.

hold sb. back from doing sth. 阻止某人做某事

e.g. His poor education is holding him back. 他的教育程度差阻碍了他的发展。

7．In 1945, a US military plane, which was flying over Manhattan on a foggy day, crashed into the building just above the 78th floor.

此句中主句为A US military plane crashed into the building just above the 78th floor.

In 1945是时间从句，which指代the plane。

on a foggy day 此处day有foggy修饰，因此前面要用介词on。
