文本解析
① Since the twinning link between our two towns,Stanthorpe here in England and Malatte in France was established,the relationship between the towns has gone from strength to strength.自 从 英 国 的 Stanthorpe 小镇和法国的Malatte 小镇结成友好城镇以来,两地之间的关系日益密切。twin 在这 里意为“结为友好地区”。go from strength to strength为习语,意为“越来越兴旺发达,不断变 得更好”。
②Our pancake evening was well attended and made record profits.And everyone enjoyed the demonstration of French cookery,which was nearly as successful.参加烤煎饼之夜的人很多,利润也 创下新高。法式烹饪表演几乎同样成功,大家都很喜欢。well attended意为“有许多人出席的, 座无虚席的”。nearly as意为“接近于……,几乎一样……”,表示和前面提到的事物程度接近, 但还差一点。
③ Don't try to do too much that first evening as they'll be tired,so have dinner in the house or garden rather than eating out.The weather looks as if it'll be OK so you might like to plan a barbecue.第一天 晚上不要安排太多事情,因为他们会很累。在家里或者花园中享用晚餐即可,不要外出去餐馆 吃。天气看起来还不错,你们或许可以安排烧烤。第一句为祈使句,在此处表达建议。as此 处是连词“因为”。rather than意为“而不是”。eat out是常见的动词短语,表示“在外用餐, 去餐馆用餐”。
④ On Saturday evening,we'll all meet up at the football club,where once again we'll have Toby Sharp and his band performing English and Scottish country songs.周六晚上,我们将在足球俱乐部集合, 届时Toby Sharp和他的乐队将再次为我们带来英格兰和苏格兰乡村歌曲。meet up 意为“(按照 安排)会面,见面”。where 为关系副词,引导定语从句,修饰 football club 。have sb.doing意 为“安排某人做某事”。
⑤They're built round a courtyard,and the shop's in the far corner on the left.它们(马场)围绕一个庭 院而建,商店在(马场)远端左手边的拐角处。此处的round为介词,意为“围绕,环绕”。 far在这里是形容词,指“离得较远的,另一边的”,即和说话人距离远。
⑥ I know that one or two of our visitors may not be all that mobile.The main entrance to the house has a lot of steps so you might want to use the disabled entry.This is on the far side of the house from the car park. 我知道有一些访客可能行动不便。房屋的正门有很多台阶,您不妨使用残疾人入口,该入 口位于房子远离停车场的那一侧。one or two为虚指,意为“几个”。mobile 在这里用来形容人 “行动方便,腿脚灵便”。you might want to do sth.为表达建议的句式,might 比 may更加委婉, 用于礼貌地提出建议。
