With the building of good, fast motorways, longdistances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly,
译文:
由于修建了快捷的高速公路,我们可以迅速而又愉快地到达遥远的地方。
点睛:
该句中有两个考点需注意,一是“with+复合结构”,二是cover -词的特殊用法。With the building of good,fastmotorways就相当于Since good,fast motorways have been built.cover在此不是“遮盖,覆盖;包含”等常见意思,而是“走完一段路程”。
They were hoping to cover 60 miles yesterday.
他们昨天计划走60英里。
考点归纳:
