be surprised at + n. (v. + ing) 意为“对……感到惊奇”，主语是人。

他去世的消息令我感到震惊。

be surprised 后还可接不定式和that引导的从句。

e.g. I’m surprised that he should have been so foolish. 我很奇怪他竟然会这么傻。

【联想】

surprise n. 吃惊

to one’s surprise “让某人吃惊的是”, 常位于句首, 作状语, 表示行为的结果。

e.g. To her surprise, she failed in the examination.

让她吃惊的是, 她考试没及格。

2. During different periods of the day, the colors of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red.

period n. 阶段; 时期

3. The Australians have a close relationship with the British.

relationship n. 关系

e.g. Is there any relationship between them? 它们之间有联系吗?

4. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways.

relative n. 亲戚

e.g. These are the gifts to relatives. 这些就是送给亲戚的礼物。

【区别】

relative & relation

两者都指根据血统或婚姻关系的远近来说, 较近的亲戚用relation, 较远的亲戚用relative。

5. For example, when they say “G’day” and “No worries”, they mean “Hello” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”
