Step 6 Language points

1. Let’s call Wonder of the World and join in the discussion.

我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话，加入讨论吧。

join in的意思是“参加某种活动，加入到”。例如：We all joined in the game. 我们都参与了游戏。

discussion 作名词, 它是由动词discuss 加后缀-ion而构成的, 意为“讨论; 商讨”。如:

There will be a discussion about the differences between the two words in our class this afternoon.

小试: How many students joined in the _________(discuss) last Sunday?

2. And I think the Giant’s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder.

我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。

巨人之路位于英国北爱尔兰东部海岸，由大量多边形石柱组成，绵延数百米，呈阶梯状延伸入海。1986年，巨人之路及其海岸(Giant’s causeway and Causeway Coast)被联合国教科文组织列入世界自然遗产名录。

3. That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa is even more fantastic.

听起来很神奇，但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。

维多利亚瀑布位于非洲赞比西河中游、赞比亚与津巴布韦接壤处，是世界上最壮观的瀑布之一。瀑布上的水雾形成的彩虹景色十分迷人，瀑布的声响可在数公里处听到。因此，当地人称之为“莫西奥图尼亚”，意为“霹雳之雾”。

4. But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more than exciting than natural ones.

但是，在我看来，人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。

本句中natural ones与man-made wonders相对应，ones代替前面提到的wonders。

in one’s opinion表示“按某人的意见；据某人看来”。 如：

Who, in your opinion, is the best football player in the world today?

在你看来，谁是当今世界上最好的足球运动员？

5. though

  though 作连词, 意为“虽然; 尽管”, 常用来引导让步状语从句, 从句可放在主句前或主句后, 但不能与but 或however 出现在同一个句子中。如：

  Though he was tired, he went on working.

  Lucy often helps me with my English, though she is very busy.

【运用】从题后所给的四个选项中选择可以填入空白处的最佳答案。
