Thank you for your listening!

1.(Para.2) One travel experience where the openness and curiosity of the Chinese people helped to bridge our language and cultural differences was on a boat ride from Shanghai to Qingdao. Analysis: Where introduces a restrictive relative clause modifying experience. Bridge in the relative clause is used as a verb. Bridge our...differences means shortening our difference or making us closer. Translation: 有一次，在从上海开往青岛的船上，中国人表 现出来的坦率和好奇拉近了我们在语言与文化方面的距离。 Example: One experience where I learned a lot about life was in a small village in the south. Difficult Sentences 返回

Difficult Sentences 2.(Para. 2) Being the only non-Asian person on the boat, this drew quite a few curious looks, and finally a small group of people gathered around me and watched me write as if I were a sidewalk artist drawing portraits of passersby. – Analysis: Being the only non-Asian person on the boat is a present participle used as an adverbial of cause. As if here introduces an adverbial clause of manner, and subjunctive mood is often required used with it. That’s why were is used instead of was. 返回

Difficult Sentences – Translation: 由于船上只有我一个不是亚洲人，这招 来很多好奇的目光，最后竟有一群人聚集在我的周围， 他们看着我写东西，就像看一个给过路行人画像的街 头艺人一样。 – Example: Being the only foreigner in the school, she drew a lot of attention, and usually a small group of people gathered around her and listened to her as if she were a film star speaking to her fans. 返回

Difficult Sentences 3.(Para.2) But soon I stopped, and using my tiny amount of Chinese and their tiny amount of English, we introduced ourselves and told where we were from and where we were going. Analysis: Using is a present participle and acts an adverbial of manner. The two where-clauses are the object clauses of the verb told. Translation: 可很快我还是停了下来，我说一点汉语，他们说一 点英语，我们开始相互介绍，谈自己是从什么地方来，到什么地方 去。 Example: But soon I stopped, and speaking half English and half Chinese, I told them where I had worked and where I had learned Chinese. 返回

Difficult Sentences 4.(Para. 2) When we arrived in Qingdao, I parted with my deck friends on the best terms and with a bit of advice about what to see and do in Qingdao. Analysis: Part is used as a verb meaning separate. On the best terms and with a bit of advice are two prepositional phrases used as an adverbial of manner modifying parted. About is a preposition and takes as its object an infinitive clause introduced by what. Translation: 船到青岛要分别时，我与甲板上的朋友关系已相当融 洽，他们还给我提了一点建议，告诉我在青岛去哪些地方玩。 Example: I left them on bad terms and with a bit of disagreement about what to buy with the money. 返回

Difficult Sentences 5.(Para. 3) Without it, I was stuck between two cities, neither of which was my home base. Analysis: without it is an adverbial of condition. Which introduces a non-restrictive relative clause modifying two cities and which itself refers to two cities.
