Last summer, Sam and his brother went to Tainan together on a three-day journey. They chose a hostel instead of a hotel, because the accommodation there was much cheaper. When they arrived, the owner kindly helped them carry their luggage upstairs. On the second day, they spent the whole day sightseeing, visiting old temples and markets and trying many local snacks. Before going home, Sam bought a souvenir for his mother, a small cup made by hand. He said that although the trip did not cost much, it gave him more happiness than an expensive tour.
去年暑假,阿山(Sam)和哥哥一起去臺南,展開了一趟為期三天的旅程(journey)。
Last summer, Sam and his brother went to Tainan together on a three-day journey.
「為期三天」是連字號複合形容詞 three-day,其中 day 不加 s(a three-day journey),但說 The journey took three days. 時就要加 s。journey 指從一地到另一地、較長的旅行,強調過程與距離;一般的「旅行」也可說 trip。
他們選了一間青年旅館(hostel),而不是飯店,因為那裡的住宿費用便宜得多。
They chose a hostel instead of a hotel, because the accommodation there was much cheaper.
instead of + 名詞 表示「而不是…」,A 與 B 要對等(hostel/hotel)。accommodation 指「住宿」,在英式英文是不可數名詞,不加 s。much 可修飾比較級(much cheaper),不能用 very。
抵達時,老闆娘親切地幫他們把行李提上樓。
When they arrived, the owner kindly helped them carry their luggage upstairs.
luggage 是不可數名詞,不能說 a luggage 或 luggages,要數時說 a piece of luggage。help + 人 + 原形動詞(help them carry)。「老闆娘」用中性的 owner 即可,不需要特別分性別。
第二天,他們花了一整天觀光(sightseeing),參觀古老的廟宇和市場,還嘗了許多當地小吃。
On the second day, they spent the whole day sightseeing, visiting old temples and markets and trying many local snacks.
spend + 時間 + V-ing 是「花時間做…」(spent the whole day sightseeing)。sightseeing 是不可數名詞,go sightseeing 是「去觀光」。visiting… and trying… 是分詞片語,補充說明他們觀光時做了什麼,兩者並列,形式要一致。
回家以前,阿山買了一份紀念品(souvenir)給媽媽,那是一個手工做的小杯子。
Before going home, Sam bought a souvenir for his mother, a small cup made by hand.
before 後面可以直接接動名詞(Before going home),主詞與主要子句相同時可省略。a small cup made by hand 是 a souvenir 的同位語,用逗號隔開,補充說明那是什麼。buy sth for sb 等於 buy sb sth。
他說,雖然這趟旅行沒花多少錢,但是帶給他的快樂比一次昂貴的旅遊還要多。
He said that although the trip did not cost much, it gave him more happiness than an expensive tour.
although 引導讓步子句,句中不可再加 but。did not 後面接原形動詞,所以是 did not cost;cost 的過去式也是 cost,但這裡不需要變化。more + 不可數名詞 + than 是「比…更多」(more happiness than…),happiness 不可數。
More and more young people plan their own trips instead of joining a tour group. On social media, my classmates post photos of small inns and cheap motels. My cousin Grace, for example, travels with only a carry-on bag, so she never has to wait for baggage at the airport. She says that planning an excursion by herself is like solving a puzzle, which she enjoys. The vast amount of information online makes it easier than ever.
I think this trend is a good thing. For one thing, independent travelers can spend time on what they really want to see. For another, they often stay in family-owned places, so tourism helps local families more than it helps big companies. Of course, a tour group guarantees that nobody gets lost. Nonetheless, if I took a trip alone someday, I would make a careful plan first, because freedom works best with good preparation.
愈來愈多年輕人自己規劃旅行,而不是參加旅行團。在社群媒體上,我的同學張貼的是小旅店和便宜汽車旅館的照片。例如我的表姊葛蕾絲只帶一個登機小包旅行,所以她從來不必在機場等行李。她說,自己規劃一趟短程旅遊就像解謎一樣,她樂在其中。網路上大量的資訊,讓這件事比以往更容易。
我認為這個趨勢是件好事。一方面,自助旅行的人可以把時間花在自己真正想看的地方。另一方面,他們常住在家庭經營的地方,所以觀光業對當地家庭的幫助比對大公司還大。當然,旅行團能保證沒有人會迷路。儘管如此,如果有一天我自己去旅行,我會先做好詳細的計畫,因為自由要搭配充分的準備才最好用。
本題屬於「現象+看法型」,結構是「先說現象、再談看法」。第一段負責敘述現象:第一句直接點出「愈來愈多年輕人自己規劃行程」,後面用社群媒體上的照片與表姊葛蕾絲的例子,把抽象的趨勢變成看得見的畫面。第二段才表達看法:用 I think 亮出態度(是件好事),再用 For one thing / For another 給兩個理由;接著用 Of course 讓一步,承認旅行團的優點,最後用 Nonetheless 轉回自己的立場,並以一個假設句收尾。現象與看法分段清楚,讀的人不會混淆「事實」與「意見」。
which she enjoys
非限定用法的關係代名詞 which,前面加逗號,補充說明前面整件事(規劃行程像解謎)。which 在子句中是 enjoys 的受詞,所以後面不必再放 it。
He cooked dinner for us, which was very kind of him.
他為我們做了晚餐,他人真好。
so she never has to wait for baggage at the airport
so 引導結果子句,放在原因之後:原因(只帶一個隨身包),所以結果(不必等行李)。so 前面加逗號;never has to 的主詞是第三人稱單數,所以用 has。
I left my umbrella at home, so I got wet on the way to school.
我把雨傘忘在家裡,所以上學途中淋濕了。
tourism helps local families more than it helps big companies
more than 連接兩個被比較的對象(local families/big companies)。than 後面的 it helps 也可以省略成 than big companies,但完整寫出來比較清楚,it 指的就是 tourism。
Reading helps me relax more than watching TV does.
閱讀比看電視更能幫我放鬆。
if I took a trip alone someday, I would make a careful plan first
對現在或未來不太可能發生之事的假設:If + S + 過去式, S + would + 原形動詞。if 子句用過去式 took,主要子句用 would make。
If I won a prize, I would share it with my family.
如果我得獎,我會和家人分享。
Nonetheless, if I took a trip alone someday
Nonetheless 放在句首,意思是「儘管如此」,用來從「讓步」轉回自己的立場,後面要加逗號。前面一句的 Of course 先承認對方的優點,兩個詞搭配最自然。
The movie was long. Nonetheless, we enjoyed it.
這部電影很長,儘管如此我們還是很喜歡。
a souvenir for his mother, a small cup made by hand
同位語:在名詞後面加逗號,再放另一個名詞片語來說明它。a small cup made by hand 補充說明 a souvenir 是什麼,不需要連接詞。
My uncle, a bus driver, knows every road in the city.
我的叔叔是公車司機,他熟悉城裡的每一條路。
