1.In this much-travelled world,there are still thousands of places which areinaccessible to tourists.
在这个旅游频繁的世界上,仍有成千上万个游人足迹未至的地方。
语言点:much-travelled world为“复合形容词+n.”结构的短语,不能说busy world,busy指的是“事情多”。
2.We always assume that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable.
人们总是以为偏僻的地方的村民们热情好客。
语言点1:句子结构分析:assume that…的意境比think that…要深的多。
语言点2: friendly and hospitable作表语。
3.But people who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but even from their owncountrymen can be hostile to travellers.
但是,那些不但与外国旅游者隔绝,而且与本国同胞隔绝的人们有可能对游客抱有敌意。
语言点:can be hostile to的意思是“可能对…抱有敌意”。
