Language Points
1.I saw the pandas at last!
at last = in the end 最后、终于
他终于取得了好成绩。
He got good marks ________.
我们昨天终于吃了烤鸭子.
Yesterday we ate roast duck _______ .
finally/ at last/ in the end
这三个都可以作“最后”讲,但用法不同。
I. Finally 表动作的发生顺序是在“最后”,无感情色彩,只用于过去时,它居句首时较多。
Ⅱ. at last 表经过一定曲折之后某事才发生,强调努力的结果,带有较强的感情色彩,须用一般过去时。
Ⅲ. in the end 表事物发展的自然顺序的“终结”,有时或与 finally相互替换,但用于对将来的预测,则只能用in the end。如:
① Did the man in the shop understand him at last?
② Finally he went to see the famous man himself.
③ I hope that everything will turn out all right in the end.
2. But I am more interested to see the pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.
1) interested 是 interest 的形容词形式,一般用来修饰人。常用句型为:be interested in
sth. 对…….感兴趣。
拓展:take interest in 对…… 感兴趣
place of interest 名胜古迹
I don’t know whether he is interested in this
subject. 我不知道他是否对这一主题感兴趣。
3. It’s sad to think of the pandas and other animas in danger.
想起熊猫和其他濒临灭绝的动物来,真让人伤心。
in danger 表示“处于险境,处于危险中” 例如:
