7. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing
（1）far from a) 遠離 b) 毫不；遠非；一點(diǎn)也不
（2）away from & far (away) from , 兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)都可以用來(lái)作表語(yǔ)，狀語(yǔ)和后置定語(yǔ)。其中，其中away from用在表示具體距離的詞后面時(shí)，意為“離……（多遠）， be away from意為“離開(kāi)”。 far (away) from 通常不和具體的距離的詞連用，意為“離某地很遠”。
The railway station is 7 miles far away from our school. (wrong, far should be omitted)
8. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms. Shen.
called Ms. Shen 是過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作定語(yǔ)，與所修飾的詞之間存在著(zhù)邏輯上的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，相當于定語(yǔ)從句who/that was called Ms. Shen。 如：
We visited the new library built three weeks ago.
我們參觀(guān)了三周前建成的圖書(shū)館。
The first textbooks written for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 18th century.
最早為外語(yǔ)教學(xué)而寫(xiě)的英語(yǔ)課本出現在十八世紀。
Most of the artists invited to the party were from South Africa.
被邀請來(lái)參加聚會(huì )的大多是南非藝術(shù)家。
注：短語(yǔ)一般放在被修飾詞之后，單個(gè)過(guò)去分詞放在被修飾詞之前
9. And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms. Shen's class!
（1）have (great) fun 玩得開(kāi)心
=have (a lot of) fun
= have a wonderful time
=enjoy oneself 如：
The children were having a lot of fun with the building blocks.
孩子們玩搭積木玩得很開(kāi)心。
You're sure to have some fun tonight.
今晚你一定會(huì )玩得很開(kāi)心。
They had a lot of fun chatting on the net.
他們在網(wǎng)上聊天聊得很開(kāi)心。
fun是不可數名詞，常用于be fun 結構中，相當于interesting。如
Seeing monkeys in the zoo is great fun.
在公園看猴子非常有趣。
What fun it is to play a game after work!
工作之余活動(dòng)一下多么有趣！
注: 此處的what fun不能用how funny代替，因為"funny"是“滑稽的，好笑的”的意思。
［拓展］for fun=in fun 開(kāi)玩笑地
make fun of 嘲笑，取笑。如
I'm not saying such a serious thing for fun.
我說(shuō)如此嚴肅的事情絕不是開(kāi)玩笑。
It's bad manners to make fun of the blind.
取笑盲人是不禮貌的。
（2）注意本句屬于否定轉移。
英語(yǔ)中有些動(dòng)詞，如think, believe, expect, suppose, feel, guess, imagine 等，當它們后面接一個(gè)具有否定意義的賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，通常要把主句的動(dòng)詞變?yōu)榉穸ㄊ剑e語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用肯定形式。這種現象稱(chēng)為否定的轉移。如：
We don't think there is anything interesting in your pictures.
我們認為你的畫(huà)并沒(méi)有什么有趣的地方。
I don't believe what he said is true.我認為他說(shuō)的不是真話(huà)。
I don't suppose they will object to my suggestion.
我想他們不會(huì )反對我的建議。
注：在反意疑問(wèn)句中，若陳述部分是第一人稱(chēng)單數時(shí)，think等詞用一般現在時(shí)，則疑部部分需與從句中的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)保持一致，否則要與主句的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)保持一致。如：
I don't think it's going to rain tomorrow, is it?
我認為明不會(huì )下雨，對嗎？
You don't think I have made mistakes, do you?
你并不認為我犯了什么錯誤，是嗎？
10. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys.
（1）in other words 意為“換句話(huà)”，在句中用作插入成分。如：
I'm not used to the way you speak to me. In other words, I don't want to continue our conversations.
我不習慣于你對我談話(huà)的方式。換句話(huà)講，我不想繼續我們的談話(huà)了。
(2) 注意倍數的英語(yǔ)表達：
①A + be+倍數 +as+ adj. +as+B
Asia is four times as large as Europe.
亞洲是歐洲的四倍大。
②A(yíng)+be+倍數+ 比較級+than+B

③A+be+倍數+the size/length/height/depth/width+ of+ B

注: time 表示倍數，一般只限于表示基數詞在內的三倍或三倍以上，若表示兩倍可用副詞twice 或形容詞double。 time 表示的倍數也可以用分數，百分數或某些表程度的副詞替換。
This pencil is a quarter as long as that one.
這枝鉛筆是那枝的四分之一長(cháng)。
Our room is 60％ the size of theirs. 我們房間的面積是他們房間面積的60%。
