　　7. My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty.

　　我的外甥乔治有一个储蓄罐，但总是空空的。

　　语言点:句子结构分析:George是my nephew的同位语。But连接两个并列的分句，是转折关系，说明储蓄罐里没有钱。

　　8. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there.

　　我给了不少50便士的硬币，但没有几个存到储蓄罐里。

　　语言点1:句子结构分析:very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins放在句首，强调“存入储蓄罐的钱太少”。I have given him为省略了引导词的定语从句，修饰pound coins。

　　语言点2:请大家注意以下短语的区别:a fifty pence表示“一张50便士的钞票”，fifty pence pieces意为“多张50便士的钞票”，fifty pennies则为“50梅1便士的硬币”。

　　9. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it.

　　昨天，我给了他50便士让存起来。

　　语言点:句子结构分析:and连接两个谓语gave和advised。
