   三、句式点睛
  1. The ocean and seas surrounding the islands are deep blue and many of New Zealand’s cities lie on a bay and have a natural deep harbour.环绕岛屿的海洋呈深蓝色,新西兰的许多城市在海湾旁边,有着天然的深水港口。
   1) 句中的surrounding是现在分词作定语。现在分词作定语,与所修饰的名词具有逻辑上的主谓关系,相当于一个主动语态的定语从句。如本句中的surrounding the islands可改为which surround the islands。例如:
   Most of the workers living(=who live)in these new houses were ship builders.在这些新房子里居住的大多是造船工人。
  They built a highway leading(=which leads)into the mountains.他们修建了一条通往山里的公路。
   2)句中的lie作“位于”解。lie后接介词in /on /to +the方向名词,可表达不同的位置:
   “lie in +the +方向名词”表示“位于某地区范围的内部”;“lie on +the +方向名词”表示“两地区的毗邻关系(接壤)”,或表示“在……畔”;“lie to +the +方向名词”表示在某地之外的方向,并不强调接壤。例如:
  Shanghai lies in the east of China. 上海在中国东部。
  Guangdong lies on the south of Hunan. 广东在湖南以南。
   London lies on the River Thames. 伦敦在泰晤士河畔。
   “lie + to the +方向名词”中的to the常可省略,构成副词性的词组,在句中作状语。这种副词性表示方向的词组如果表示“有某一事物”还可倒装。例如:
   Japan lies to the east of China.(=Japan lies east of China.)日本在中国的东边。
   North of the city lies a railway. 城市北边有一条铁路。
  2. New Zealand has a population of about 3.8 million people, of which about 14 Percent are Maori.新西兰大约有380万人口,其中大约百分之四十是毛利人。
  of which about 14 percent are Maori是“介词+关系代词”结构,“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句涉及到介词与先行词之间的关系以及介词与动词的一些固定搭配,介词后面的关系代词只能用which或whom。当先行词是“物”时,介词后面的关系代词用which;当先行词是“人”时,介词后面的关系代词用whom。例如:
  In the dark street, there wasn’t a single person to whom she could turn for help.在漆黑的街上,没有一个人她可以求助。
  This is the reason for which(=why) he left the company. 这就是他离开公司的原因。
  He will never forget the day on which (=when) he went there. 他永远忘不了去那儿的那一天。
  3. New Zealand wine is of high quality and is sold all over the world.新西兰葡萄酒品质极高,销往世界各地。
  句中of high quality是“of+抽象名词”结构,这种结构相当于名词所对应的形容词。可用来表示:
  1)be of 后接size(大小)、weight(重量)、length(长度)、shape(形状)、age(年龄)、quality(质量)、height(高度)、colour(颜色)等,表示人或事物的特征。例如:
  Both of them were of middle height. 他们俩都是中等个了。
  The flowers in the garden are of different colours. 花园里的花颜色各异。
  2)be of 后接use(用处)、importance(重要)、help(帮助)、value(价值)等抽象名词,说明主语的性质,相当于同根的形容词。例如:
  The meeting to be held tomorrow is of great importance(=very important). 明天举行的会议很重要。
  The medicine is of no use(=useless). 这药无效。
  
   四、语法细解
   it用法(一)
   一、it作代词的用法
   1) 用来指代人。说明某人的身份或者做某事的人;指代婴孩或儿童;在不清楚某人性别时,也可用it,尤其在问答的形式中更为常见。例如:
   -Who is it?
   -It’s me.
   -Look, someone is coming. Who can it be?
   -It may be the headmaster.
   2) it和one,that 的比较:it代替上文中提到过的人或事物。指代人时,一般用于小孩或身份不十分明朗的人。one表示泛指,that和it 表示特指。that与所指名词为同类,但不是同一个,而it 与所指名词为同一个。
   I can’t find my hat. I think I must buy one.(不确定)
   The hat you bought is bigger than that I bought yesterday. (同类但不是同一个)
   I can’t find my hat. I don’t know where I put it.(同一物)
   3) it 作为无人称动词的主语,表示天气,时间,距离,环境情况等等。这时的it 不指某个具体的东西。没有明确的含义。译成汉语可不必译出来。
   It is a lovely day, isn’t it?
   What’s the date today? It’s the eleventh, October.
   It is three years since I joined the army.
  It was nearly midnight when she came back.
   二、it用作形式主语或形式宾语,代替动名词,不定式,从句等作主语或宾语。
  It is not easy to finish the work in two days. (it指代to finish the work)
   It took thousands of people many years to build the Great Wall. (it指代to build…)
   It is no use crying over spilt milk. (it指代 crying over …)
   It is a pity that you didn’t read the book. (it指代that从句)
   He thinks it very important to learn English well. (it指代to learn English well)
   The teacher thinks it no good reading without understanding. (it指代reading without understanding)
  I have made it clear that nobody is allowed to smoke here. (it指代that从句)
