car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

本文语法：同位语

语法归纳：指同一事物的句子成分放在同等位置时，一个句子成分可被用

来说明或解释另一个句子成分，后者称之为前者的同位语。同位语多由名词或

代词充当。例如：

I have two sisters,Jane and Mary.我有两个姐姐，简和玛丽。

This is Tom, president of Oriental Grouop.这位是东方集团的总裁汤姆。

逐句精讲：

1.I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim.

我刚收到一封弟弟蒂姆写来的的信。

语言点1 短语：receive sth. from sb.收到从某人那里送出的某物

This morning I received a letter from my brother.今天早上我收到了妈妈写来的一封信。

语言点2 此句中Tim为my brother的同位语，对my brother进行解释说明。

2.He is in Australia.

语言点介词in在此实际上表达一种状态：在澳洲。

类似介词用法：at home在家;on the Internet在上网;on the phone打

电话

3.He has been there for six months.

他在澳洲已经待了六个月了。

语言点 for six months是表示时间段的状语。

特别提醒初学者："for+时间状语"不能和瞬间性动词连用。

He arrived there for six months.(错误)

He has been there for six months.(正确)

原因：瞬间动词的动词不可以延续，而be there表示状态，可以延续。

So far, I have lived in Beijing for eight years.到现在，我已经在

北京住了8年了。

语言点2 “大量，很多”有多种表达方式：

1)many常修饰可数名词：many mistakes许多错误;many books许多书

语言点2 Alice springs, a small town in the center of Australia后者为前者的同位语，对前者进一步说明。
