Question

【题目】阅读下面的短文。将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. We don’t like to rush around, so we don’t mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s OK if you arrive a bit late. 1.______________________________________（我们喜欢慢慢享受我们的时间）。2. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop our friends’ homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

In Svitzerland3._________________________________（守时是很重要的）。We are the capital of clocks and watches after all! 4. If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friends may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. 5. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了生活在哥伦比亚和瑞士的人对时间观念的不同态度。在哥伦比亚去朋友的家吃晚饭晚一点到也没关系。但是在瑞士，按时到达是很重要的。

【1】like to do sth喜欢做某事，enjoy享受，故答案为We like to enjoy our time slowly。

【2】value the time 珍惜时间。本句是一个定语从句，we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives是用来修饰time的，故答案为我们珍惜每天和家人朋友在一起的时间。

【3】it’s important to do sth做某事是重要的，on time准时；守时。故答案为it’s very important to be on time。

【4】invite sb to do sth邀请某人做某事；be expected to do sth被期待做某事，故答案为如果某个人在中午邀请你去见他或她，那么你应该中午到那里。

【5】it’s impolite to do sth做某事是不礼貌的；keep sb doing sth让某人持续做某事。故答案为我总是早早离开家以避开拥挤的交通。因为我觉得让别人等太不礼貌了。
