28、：Cant you see the notice over there？It says：No smoking 你难道看不见那告示吗？上面写着：禁止吸烟。Wont you come in for a while？你不进来呆一会儿吗？2Also，around the area of Aswan tnere are a lot of important old temples，which datefrom about 1250 BC而且在阿斯旺地区的周围还有许多重要的古庙，它们是公元前1250 年左右建起来的。1），which date from about 1250 BC是一个非限制性定语从句，在
29、关系代词之前通常用逗号，使从句和主句分开。翻译时通常分别译成两个句子。2）date from/back to 是一个动词短语，表示 “从某时期起”存在，意思是“从某时期开始（有）”、“可追溯到” 。例如：This custom dates from the seventeenth century这个风俗可以追溯到十七世纪。This town dates back to Roman times这座城镇的历史可以追溯到罗马时期。3It was carved in the rock and had on the outside four large stone figures，each ofwhic
30、h was 20 metres high这座寺庙雕凿在岩石中，外边有四尊大型石雕像，每个高 20 米。本句中 each of which was 20 metres high 是一个非限制性定语从句，这种定语从句是用“名词（或代词）介词关系代词”来引导的。再如：In Barcelona，the Chinese team won 16 medals，12 of which were won by the womenplayers在巴塞罗那，中国队赢得 16 枚金牌，其中 12 枚是女选手赢得的。China has thousands of islands，the largest of which
31、 is Taiwan中国有成千上万的岛屿，其中台湾是最大的岛屿。本句中 had on the outside four large stone figures=had four large stone figures on theoutside 将 on the outside 插到句中，使得句子结构严谨，是需要同学们注意的一种修辞手法。4Inside the temple is a row of stone animals，which face the rising sun寺庙内部有一排动物石雕像，它们都面朝着一轮旭日。1）face 是及物动词，作“面对，正视”解，例如：Our house
32、faces the street我们的房子朝着大街。We must face the difficulties and overcome them我们必须正视困难，克服困难。2）Inside the temple is a row of stone animals，是倒装句，主语 a row of stone animals移到句尾，以便后面再跟一个定语从句，使句子平衡。例如：Around the house are rows of trees， which were planted around 100 years ago房屋的四周有一排排的树木，它们都是大约 100 年前种植的。3）which face the rising sun 为非限制性定语从句。
