Language Points 語(yǔ)言要點(diǎn)
1. What time does it arrive in Pittsburgh?（什么時(shí)間到達(dá)匹茲堡?）用 arrive 表示“到達(dá)”。arrive 是不及物動(dòng)詞，其后要跟介詞 in 或 at，一般 arrive in 用于大城市、國(guó)家，arrive at 用于小地方。表示“到達(dá)”的涵義的常用詞還有 reach 和 get to 短語(yǔ)，reach 是及物動(dòng)詞，可直接與名詞連用。get to 是慣用語(yǔ)，不如 arrive 和 reach 正式，
多用于口語(yǔ)。例如：
What time do we arrive at Cardiff? 我們什么時(shí)候到達(dá)卡爾迪福?
When did you arrive in Britain? 你們是什么時(shí)候到達(dá)英國(guó)的?
He arrived reached at the station at 5. 他5點(diǎn)到達(dá)車(chē)站。
He will get to Tokyo tomorrow. 他將于明天到達(dá)東京。
2. ago 是“以前”的意思，本課中用 ago 的句子有：
I wrote a story about Pittsburgh ten years ago.
他10年前寫(xiě)過(guò)一篇關(guān)于匹茲堡的報(bào)道。
I wrote a story three years ago. 我3年前寫(xiě)過(guò)一篇故事。
I first visited Washington many years ago.我是多年前首次訪(fǎng)問(wèn)華盛頓的
由上述句子可看出，ago 是“距今……以前”。我們學(xué)過(guò)表示“以前”的單詞 before，它是表示“較過(guò)去……以前”。也就是說(shuō) ago 是相對(duì)現(xiàn)在而言的，before 是相對(duì)過(guò)去而言的。這一點(diǎn)從下面的例句就可以看出。
I visited him two days ago, but he had gone to London five days before.
