详细解说
3.详细解说
1.“sleep in"的意思是“(比平时)晚起,睡懒觉”,可以解释为:let yourself sleep later than usual in the morning。例如: He
stayed up too late and decided to sleep in the next morning.(他睡得太晚了,因此决定第二天早晨多睡一会儿。)I get a chance to sleep in at the weekend.(我在周末才有机会睡个懒觉。)
2.“go camping”的意思是“去野营”。
3.“play chess”意为“下棋”。类似的还有“play cards玩牌”,“play football赐足球”。但若“play”当“演奏”讲时,则要在“play” 和“乐器名”之间加个“the”,例如:play the piano(弹钢琴)。

享誉世界的伦敦古迹
伦敦是一座历史悠久、底蕴深厚的城市,拥有许多值得一看的名胜古迹。如果你有机会到这里旅游度假,那么一定要去下面这几个地方看一看。大本钟Big Ben“大本钟”被视为伦敦的象征,坐落于泰晤士河畔( the Thames)议会大厦的北面,耸立着高高的钟楼,镶有大钟,名为“大本”。每隔一小时,大钟根据格林威治( Greenwich)时间都会发出沉重而铿锵的响声,在数英里之外也能听到钟声的回荡。
伦敦塔Tower of London位于泰晤士河北岸的塔山( Tower Hill)上,是一个占地达18英亩,由城堡、炮台和箭楼等组成的庞大建筑群,建于1078年,当时是外族征服者威廉建造的一个军事城堡,中心塔是高约27米的白塔( the White Tower).周围有13座塔,其中的血塔(the Bloody Tower)被国王用来专门囚禁政治要犯以及国王的死敌。被关进这座塔里的人大多都会被处死。如今,伦敦塔已经成为收藏文物珍宝的博物馆,保存有古代兵器、历代王冠和王室珠宝,还有一根镶有大宝石的皇杖。
大英博物馆The British Museum大英博物馆位于伦敦中心闹市区的格雷·拉塞尔大街北侧。它是一座规模宏大的古穸马柱式建筑,气魄雄伟、十分壮观。这里珍藏的文物和图书资料是世界上任何一个博物馆所不能比拟的。大英博物馆建于1753年。6年后正式开放,原来主要收藏图书,其后兼收历史文物和各国古代艺术品。
