( 2 ) spend money on something “花钱买东西”。例如：

8 . Though I like writing to my penfriend , it takes a lot of time . 虽然我喜欢给笔友写信，但花了很多时间。
( 1 ) though 连词，“虽然”，引出一个状语从句。汉语中常说“虽然……但是……”，但在英语中用了 though , 就不用 but ; 同样用了 but 就不用 though。上面的句子也可说成：I like writing to my penfriend , but it takes a lot of time .
( 2 ) though 引出的从句放在句首时，从句后要写逗号，也可将 though 引出的从句放在主句后。例如：
Though it rained heavily , the football match still went on .
He didn\'t do this work well though he did his best .
9 . We\'ve just returned from a short holiday at Ayers Rock . 我们刚从艾尔斯山短期度假归来。
( 1 ) return from a holiday “度假后回来”
( 2 ) Ayers Rock “艾尔斯山”，澳大利亚中部山脉。
10 . …so we flew most of the way . ……所以我们大部分旅途都乘飞机。
( 1 ) so 在此意为“因此，所以”，在句中作连词，因此不能说成 because…so… , 两个词只能分别使用一个。
( 2 ) flew 是 fly 的过去式。
11 . From Sydney we flew over a line of mountains in the southeast . 从悉尼起飞，我们越过澳大利亚东部的一系列山脉。
( 1 ) fly over “飞越”。over 意为“在……上面” ( 指空间 ) 。例如：
There is a light over Li Ming . 李明的上方有一盏灯。
( 2 ) a line of mountains 意为“群山”。
12 . But after we left the mountains behind us , there was hardly a cloud in the sky . 然而当我们把群山峻岭甩在后面时，天空几乎万里万云。
( 1 ) after we left the mountains behind us 在句中作状语，在语法上称作状语从句。
( 2 ) hardly 副词，意为“简直不，几乎不”，与之连用的句子属否定范畴。。例如：
We got hardly any news .
He could hardly say any words when he heard the bad news .
She can hardly speak French , can she ?
13 . Ayers Rock is a large , low mountain . 艾尔斯山是一座大而低矮的山。
