Question

【題目】

Have you ever been to Thailand? And what did you learn about Thai people? After traveling 【1】 Thailand for over a month, I’ve seen and learnt quite a few things --- not just about the country, but also about 【2】 people. Here are some things that I’ve learnt about Thai people.

They always give you the warmest, friendliest smile if you smile first.

Thai people are often very 【3】, and many of them smile at you in the street. But most of the times, they look at you. If your 【4】 meet and you smile, then they smile back right away. If you don’t smile, however, 【5】 do they. My experience is that they smile more brightly than you when you smile first.

No matter(無論）【6】 early you get up in the morning, most people are already awake and working. It’s true that I’m an early bird. But no matter when I get up, it feels like Thai people have been awake for just a little 【7】 than me. They are already in their shops, at the markets or in the factories 【8】 I get up. It’s not that Thai people never sleep; they just don’t sleep the way we do.

When it comes to transport, there’s no such thing as “full”.

The buses are always 【9】 in Thailand. Even if some kids have to hang (懸掛）off the end of the bus, there is still space 【10】 more people. Once we had about 33 people in a very small bus. It was crazy!

【2】句意：在泰國旅行了一個(gè)多月之后，我看到了也學(xué)到了很多事情，不僅是關(guān)于這個(gè)國家，還關(guān)于它的人民。its它的，形容詞性物主代詞，在這里代指的是這個(gè)國家的，做定語，修飾后面的名詞people。

【3】句意：泰國人經(jīng)常很友好，很多人在大街上回對你微笑。friendly友好的，是一個(gè)形容詞，在句中做定語。根據(jù)句意and many of them smile at you in the street可知，泰國人是非常友好的。

【4】句意：如果你們的眼光相遇了，你微笑，他們也會朝你微笑。eyes眼睛，根據(jù)上句話But most of the times, they look at you可知，泰國人大多數(shù)時(shí)候會看你，這里表示當(dāng)你也看他們的時(shí)候，也就是目光相遇了，故填eyes。

【5】句意：然而如果你不微笑，他們也不。nor也不，是否定意思的副詞，位于句首，該句用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。nor do they的意思是他們也不微笑。

【6】句意：不管你早上起得有多早，大多數(shù)人都已經(jīng)醒了，在工作。how如何，怎樣，是一個(gè)副詞，修飾空后面的副詞early，表示多么早。這里No matter how引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)讓步狀語從句。

【7】句意：但是不管我什么時(shí)候起床，感覺好像泰國人已經(jīng)醒了比我更長的時(shí)間。longer是long的比較級，因?yàn)榫渲杏斜硎颈容^的than。根據(jù)句意可知，這句話說的是泰國人醒的時(shí)間比我長，也就是醒的比我更早。

【8】句意：當(dāng)我起床的時(shí)候，他們已經(jīng)在他們的商店里、市場上或者工廠里。when當(dāng)…時(shí)候，在這里引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句。

【9】句意：在泰國公交車總是非常擁擠。crowded擁擠的，是一個(gè)形容詞，在句中做表語。根據(jù)下文Once we had about 33 people in a very small bus. It was crazy可知，一輛小的公交車?yán)镒��?/span>33個(gè)人，可見有多擠，故填crowded。
