2. …I went to the biggest museum in town yesterday.

昨天我到城裏最大的博物館去了.

in town在鎮裏(城裏)介詞短語在這裏作定語，修飾前面名詞“the biggest museum.”

3. The biggest museum？最大的博物館？這句話是一個省略問句，其完全形式是“Did you go to the biggest science museum？”

4.I saw many old inventions on show.我看到許多古老的發明在展覽.

invention 名詞，其動詞爲invent“發明”.同詞根爲“inventor”，“發明家”.

如：Edison was a great inventor. He invented many useful things all his life。

Many of his inventions have changed the world.愛迪生是一個偉大的發明家.他一生髮明瞭很多有用的東西.他的許多發明都使世界發生了變化

5. They were all invented hundreds of years ago.他們都是數百年前發明.

1)“were invented”爲一般過去時的被動語態.

2)hundreds of years…成百上千年.又如：thousands of years成千上萬年；millions of years數百萬年.英語中，hundred，thousand，million前如沒有具體數詞就可使用這種結構，但如果說三百學生，五千只綿羊，一百萬只鳥，則只能說：“three hundred students, five thousand sheep, a million birds.

not go there and have a look？爲什麼不去那看一看？

這句話用等於 Why don’t you go there and have a look?

were very interested in dinosaurs.他們對恐龍很感興趣.

be interested in sth.＝ show(great)interest in sth.

如： My sister is very interested in story-books.我妹妹對故事書很感興趣.

也可說 My sister shows great interest in story－books.

the students cheered.所有的學生都歡呼着，

cheer及物動詞，“使振奮，使高興，爲…歡呼，高呼”

如： The teacher was cheered by his students.那位老師受到學生們的喝彩.

cheer也可爲不及物動詞. 如：I cheered up at the news.聽到這個消息，我感到振奮. cheer作名詞歡呼，喝彩rs.“乾杯”.

9. …So these eggs were laid long, long ago by dinosaurs. 這些蛋是恐龍很久很久以前下的.

lay－ laid－ laid及物動詞 1)放、擺，如： Lay the coat on the bed.把衣服放在牀上. 2)鋪，架設如： Lay a bridge across the river.在河上架橋. 3)產卵，如： A turtle lays many eggs at once.海龜一次能下很多蛋.本文中用了“were laid by…”過去時態的被動語態結構.如這個白色的蛋是那隻白母雞下的，可譯成：The white egg was laid by the white hen.

means dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.

那意味着恐龍早在人類出現之前就生活在那裏了.

human beings人類，“appear”出現不及物動詞，其反義詞加否定前綴 dis - disappear消失，類似有 agree一 disagree贊同不一致.

believe一disbelieve相信一不信任 like-dislike喜歡--不喜歡

ntists try to explain their disappearance, but they’ve got more questions than answers.

科學家們試圖解釋恐龍消失的現象，可他們的疑問多於答案.

disappear消失(動詞)一 disappearance消失，失蹤(名詞)不可數.

now there is a special dinosaur on display.

現在有一種特別的恐龍在展覽.

on display等同 on show在展覽.

was discovered in Liaoning Province.它(恐龍)是在遼寧省發現的.

discover與invent：discover發現；指發現的對象是本來存在的，只是以前不知道而且，也可指發現新奇或意外之物或發現某種情況； invent發明；發明的對象是以前沒有的新東西，如工具，手段或方法.

14.I say it is special because the dinosaur was covered with feathers.我之所以說它特別，是因爲它是由羽毛覆蓋的恐龍.

be covered with由…覆蓋

The field is covered with snow.田野上一遍積雪.

we can see many dinosaurs discovered by you in this museum.那麼我們就能在這個博物館裏看到由你發現的恐龍了.

…discovered by you是一個過去分詞短語，在句子作定語修飾dinosaurs.

一般問句：Was the museum built in 1971？ Yes， It was.／No， it wasn’t.
