Language points 1.I learned about the inventions that led to color movies, too. 我还了解了一些发明, 它们成就了彩色电影。 此处 learn 是 “ 了解；获知；得知 ” 的意思，由介 词 about 或 of 引入所获知的具体内容。例如 : The children were all shocked to learn of the death of their headmaster. 得知校长去 世，孩子们都十分震惊。

2. I’ve never been camping. 我从未野营过。 此句为现在完成进行时（ * 初屮阶段不要求掌握） 这一时态的结构为 “have been + 现在分词 ” ， 表示从过去某一时刻一直延续至今的动作。 在本句中，说话人使用这一时态来强调自己至 今从未有过野营的经历，欠缺这方面的经验。 乂如： He’s been watching TV all afternoon. 他一下午都在看电视。 We’ve been living like this ever since the birth of my little brother. 自打我小弟弟出生，我们就一直这样生活。

3. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future. 不知道将来电脑还能够做些什么事情呢。 l) Wonder 表示 “( 对某事）感到疑惑；想要知道； 想弄明白；琢磨 ” ，后面常接由 what, how, who 或 if / whether （是否）引导的宾语从句。例如： I wonder how they’re getting on. 我想知逍他们现在过得怎样。 I just wonder if they’ve arrived safely. 我就想知道他们 是否安全抵达了。

2) 此句从句部分的初始结构处： How much more will computers be able to do in the future? 是对陈述句 Computers will be able to do (much) more in the future. ( 电脑 将来能够做更多的事情。）的提问。 由于充当了宾语从句，疑问结构被改成了陈 述结构 how much more computers will be able to do in the future, 即：将助动词 will 还原到陈述句的位置。

4. The International Museum of Toilets. 国际马桶博物馆 这是位于印度新德里的一个主题式展览馆， 收藏、陈列的马桶装置十分丰富，从古至今， 应有尽有，简直就是一部厕所的发展史。参 观者可从不同角度去认识厕所的演变 史。同 时，博物馆里还收藏了许多名人用过的厕所 及相关物品的复制品，旨在开拓人们 视野， 进行社会文明教育，推广环保宣传和研究。
