7. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing
（1）far from a) 遠離 b) 毫不；遠非；一點也不
（2）away from & far (away) from , 兩個短語都可以用來作表語，狀語和后置定語。其中，其中away from用在表示具體距離的詞后面時，意為“離……（多遠）， be away from意為“離開”。 far (away) from 通常不和具體的距離的詞連用，意為“離某地很遠”。
The railway station is 7 miles far away from our school. (wrong, far should be omitted)
8. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms. Shen.
called Ms. Shen 是過去分詞短語作定語，與所修飾的詞之間存在著邏輯上的被動關系，相當于定語從句who/that was called Ms. Shen。 如：
We visited the new library built three weeks ago.
我們參觀了三周前建成的圖書館。
The first textbooks written for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 18th century.
最早為外語教學而寫的英語課本出現在十八世紀。

被邀請來參加聚會的大多是南非藝術家。
注：短語一般放在被修飾詞之后，單個過去分詞放在被修飾詞之前
9. And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms. Shen's class!
（1）have (great) fun 玩得開心
=have (a lot of) fun
= have a wonderful time
=enjoy oneself 如：
The children were having a lot of fun with the building blocks.
孩子們玩搭積木玩得很開心。
You're sure to have some fun tonight.
今晚你一定會玩得很開心。
They had a lot of fun chatting on the net.
他們在網上聊天聊得很開心。
fun是不可數名詞，常用于be fun 結構中，相當于interesting。如
Seeing monkeys in the zoo is great fun.
在公園看猴子非常有趣。
What fun it is to play a game after work!
工作之余活動一下多么有趣！
注: 此處的what fun不能用how funny代替，因為"funny"是“滑稽的，好笑的”的意思。
［拓展］for fun=in fun 開玩笑地
make fun of 嘲笑，取笑。如
I'm not saying such a serious thing for fun.
我說如此嚴肅的事情絕不是開玩笑。
It's bad manners to make fun of the blind.
取笑盲人是不禮貌的。
（2）注意本句屬于否定轉移。
英語中有些動詞，如think, believe, expect, suppose, feel, guess, imagine 等，當它們后面接一個具有否定意義的賓語從句時，通常要把主句的動詞變為否定式，而賓語從句中的謂語動詞用肯定形式。這種現象稱為否定的轉移。如：
We don't think there is anything interesting in your pictures.
我們認為你的畫并沒有什么有趣的地方。
I don't believe what he said is true.我認為他說的不是真話。
I don't suppose they will object to my suggestion.
我想他們不會反對我的建議。
注：在反意疑問句中，若陳述部分是第一人稱單數時，think等詞用一般現在時，則疑部部分需與從句中的主語和謂語保持一致，否則要與主句的主語和謂語保持一致。如：
I don't think it's going to rain tomorrow, is it?
我認為明不會下雨，對嗎？
You don't think I have made mistakes, do you?
你并不認為我犯了什么錯誤，是嗎？
10. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys.
（1）in other words 意為“換句話”，在句中用作插入成分。如：
I'm not used to the way you speak to me. In other words, I don't want to continue our conversations.
我不習慣于你對我談話的方式。換句話講，我不想繼續我們的談話了。
(2) 注意倍數的英語表達：
①A + be+倍數 +as+ adj. +as+B
Asia is four times as large as Europe.
亞洲是歐洲的四倍大。
②A+be+倍數+ 比較級+than+B
Asia is three times larger than Europe.
亞洲比歐洲大三倍。
③A+be+倍數+the size/length/height/depth/width+ of+ B
Asia is four times the size of Europe.
亞洲是歐洲的四倍大。
注: time 表示倍數，一般只限于表示基數詞在內的三倍或三倍以上，若表示兩倍可用副詞twice 或形容詞double。 time 表示的倍數也可以用分數，百分數或某些表程度的副詞替換。

這枝鉛筆是那枝的四分之一長。
