2.Thedrivercanadjusttheheatinginwinterandthe air-conditioninginsummertosuithisownneedsandpreference.司機(jī)冬天開取暖器，夏天開空調(diào)，以滿足自己的需要與意愿。heating

取暖器

3.Thereisnoirritationcausedbywaitingfortrains,busesorundergroundtrains,standinginlonglines,orsittingonwindyplatformsforanhourormore.站在長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的隊(duì)里或坐在飽受風(fēng)吹的站臺(tái)上等火車、公共汽車或地鐵，一等就是一個(gè)小時(shí)或更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，這種煩惱都沒有了。美英兩國(guó)在交通工具的表達(dá)上有很大區(qū)別，具體見下表：ChineseBEAE交通；交通工具transporttransportation飛機(jī)aeroplaneairplane地鐵underground,tubesubway汽車motorcarautomobile火車車廂carcarriage卡車lorrytruck有軌電車Tramtrolley鐵路railwayrailroad

4.immediateneighborhood近鄰，附近immediate在此處的意思是“不遠(yuǎn)的，鄰近的〞。例如：There’snopostofficeintheimmediateneighborhood.附近沒有郵局。Whatwillyoudointheimmediatefuture?你在不遠(yuǎn)的將來想干什么？

5.Perhapspollutionisofprimeimportance.也許污染是首要問題。句中of加抽象名詞相當(dāng)于形容詞，即：Perhapspollutionisthemostimportant.類似的用法還有：Diamondsareofhighvalue.(Diamondsarehighlyvaluable.)鉆石有很高的價(jià)值。Thenewdrugisofgreatsignificanceforthetreatmentofthedisease.(Thenewdrugisgreatlysignificantforthetreatmentofthedisease.)這種新藥對(duì)治療這種疾病意義重大。

6.Manyoftheminorillnessesofmodernsociety,suchasheadaches,tiredness,andstomachupsetsarethoughttoarisefrompollutedair.有人認(rèn)為現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的許多小病，比方，頭疼、疲勞、反胃都是因?yàn)榭諝馕廴径鸬摹?)stomachupsets表示“腸胃不舒服，反胃〞，也可以用upsetstomach。例如：Youmusthaveabadupsetstomach.你一定曾感到胃不舒服。2)還可以用upset作動(dòng)詞，通常翻譯成“使身體〔腸胃〕不適〞。例如：Theforeignfoodupsethisstomach.異國(guó)食品使他的腸胃感覺不適。widespread
