新概念英語第三冊逐句精講語言點 第48課 沉默的村莊 (4)

　　On the day before our departure, several bus loads of touristsdescended on the town. This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spendour last day exploring the countryside. Taking a path which led out of the town, wecrossed a few fields until we came to a dense wood.

　　10.We expected the path to end abruptly, but we found that it traced its way throughthe trees.

　　我們原以為小路會到此突然終止。沒想到它到樹林中繼續(xù)向前延伸。

　　語言點:trace its way的意思是“殺出一條路”。

　　11.We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deepstream.

　　我們在樹林中跋涉了兩個多小時，到了一條深溪邊。

　　12.We could see that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea howwe could get across the stream.

　　我們可以看到小路在深溪對岸繼續(xù)向前伸展，但卻不知如何越過這道深溪。

　　語言點1:continue on在此引申為“伸展”。

　　語言點2:how can sb.get across的意思是“某人如何越過”。
