1. Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, second only to Russia, and has always been famous for its fantastic natural scenery.加拿大是世界上最大的國家之一，國土面積僅次于俄羅斯，加拿大素來以其絢麗的自然風光聞名于世。
second only to 意為“僅次于…” 例如：
1).Our city has an area of 20,000 square kilometers, _second only to Nanjing of our province_.
我市面積為2萬平方公里，僅次于我省的南京。
2).I think that, as a writer, he is second to none. 我認為, 作為一個作家, 他是_最好的_。
2. Canada has vast areas of wilderness, from the Arctic , where average winter temperatures are usually minus 20 degrees centigrade, to the 8,892-kilometre-long border with the USA in the south, which is said to be the longest border in the world not defended by an army or the police. 加拿大有遼闊的荒原，北起北極寒地--那里冬天的平均氣溫通常是零下20攝氏度，南與美國毗鄰，邊境線長達8892公里，據說是世界上沒有軍隊或者警察設防的最長的邊界線。
（1）本句中有兩個非限制性定語從句：①where…centigrade修飾先行詞Arctic north，②which…police修飾先行詞the 8,892-kiilometre-long border。例如：

4.（1）Montreal, a port in the province of Quebec, is the second largest city in Canada, and also the second largest French-speaking city in the world, Paris being the largest.蒙特利爾，魁北克省內的港口城市，是加拿大第二大城市，也是世界上僅次于巴黎的第二大法語城市。

句（1）中的Paris being the largest是一個獨立主格結構。獨立主格結構是“非謂語動詞”的一種形式，句（2）中的with…to ensure that…也是一種獨立主格形式，或稱“with復合結構”。這兩種結構分別歸納如下：
①“名（代）+介詞”作獨立結構，在句中可作狀語，例如課文中的這一句：
There are old buildings, churches, narrow streets and alleys, _all alongside glass and steel and concrete skyscrapers reading upwards._城里有古老的建筑、教堂、狹窄的街道和小巷，這些全都與用玻璃和鋼筋混凝土建成的摩天大樓靠在一起。
獨立主格結構主要起狀語作用，相當于一個狀語從句，多用來表示行為、方式、伴隨等情況，有時也可用來表示時間、原因、條件等情況。
②with引導的獨立主格結構通常為：
With +名詞（代詞）+介詞短語/形容詞/副詞/名詞/現在分詞/過去分詞/不定式。例如：
1）He likes sleeping with his door _open______/ with the light __burning__.
他喜歡開著門睡覺/開著燈睡覺。
2）With a book _in his hand___, he came in. 他手里拿著一本書走了進來。
5.Cricket is usually considered a summer sport in Australia, and throughout the country, you will see players dressed all in white, hitting and chasing the ball up and down the pitch.（P15）在澳大利亞板球通常被認為是一項夏季運動。在全國各地，你會看到全身穿著白色球衣的球員在運動場上來回跑動、爭搶擊球。

①v. 考慮consider doing sth考慮做某事。例如：
We are considering how to go to Canada. 我們正考慮如何去加拿大。
Have you _considered buying___ a house of your own?你考慮過買一套自己的房子嗎？
注意：此時，consider 后不能直接跟動詞不定式作賓語。
②v. 認為，把……看做是……
搭配：consider sb/ sth as…=consider sb/ sth to be…=consider sb/ sth adj./n. 例如：
We consider his suggestion _very important____. 我們認為他的建議很重要。
You may consider me _as to be your friend___, for we are all young people.
你們可以把我當成朋友，因為我們都是年輕人。
③considering …就…而論，照…說來，與…比起來，以……看起來。例如：

6. So, while a high percentage of Australians may be people who watch sports rather than do them, as far as most of its population is concerned, it is indeed a great sporting nation！（P15）所以，雖然很大一部分澳大利亞人只觀看體育比賽，而不直接參與，但就關注體 育的大多數人口而言，澳大利亞的確是一個運動大國。
