1. --Where did you go on vacation?
你去哪儿度假了？
　--I went to the mountains. 我去了山区。
1) 这是一个特殊疑问句。由“特殊疑问词
＋助动词＋主语＋动词+其它?” 构成。
由于是询问已发生的动作(过去的事情)，
所以助动词用过去式did, 其后的动词用原形。
Language Points
2) 与go to the mountains结构类似的词组还有:
　　 go to the beach 去海边　　　　
go to summer camp 去夏令营
　　go to New York City 去纽约市 　　　
go on vacation 去度假
　　go to a trip 去旅行 　　　　　
go to the movies 去看电影
2. I was on vacation last month.
be on vacation 译为 “在度假” 强调状态。而 “go to vacation”, 去度假。 强调动作。
3. Did you buy anything special?
在英语中，anything, something, nothing 和everything是用于指代事物的复合不定代词，与之相对应的复合不定代词 anyone, someone, no one 和everyone ( anybody, somebody, nobody 和 everybody) 用于指人。
与形容词连时， 形容词必须放在复合不定
代词之后，语法上称作“后置”。例如：
something important—— 重要的事
I can see someone new in your group.
我看出你们小组里有新人。
There’s nothing interesting in the news today.
今天的新闻里没有什么有趣的新闻。
4. We took quite a few photos there.
此句中 quite a few 是一个整体结构，表
示“相当多”， 修饰可数名词，请不要与a
few(少数几个) 混淆。比较下面例句中quite
a few 和a few的区别。
There are only a few books on the table,
but I still have quite a few in the bookcase.
虽然桌上只有几本书，但我的书柜里还有
很多书。
5. She visited her uncle.  
①句中visit是及物动词直接跟宾语，当其
后接表示人的词语时译为 “拜访”。当
其后接表示地点的名词时，译为“参观”。
  如visit the  Summer Palace----参观颐和园
   ②visit还可以作名词“拜访，参观”，构成短
语pay a visit to…/be on a visit to…译为
“访问（某人）”“参观（某地）”
1.We paid a visit to our teacher yesterday. 
   我昨天拜访了我的老师。
2. We are __a visit __our English teacher  now.
  A. on；on    B. to；on
