四、难点讲解

1. But after we left the mountains behind us，there washardly a cloud in the sky.当我们把群山甩在身后面，天空几乎万里无云。

hardly 是副词，意思是：几乎不。在句中表示否定意义。hardly 可以和 an/anything/anybody 等词连用。例如： We 've got hardly any food.我们几乎没有食物了。hardly 还可和情态动词 can，could 等连用。例如：

She could hardly walk.她几乎走不动了。

1. Though we only stayed there for a few days，we had agreat time. 虽然我们在那里只逗留了几天，我们过得很愉快。

though 是连词，意思是：虽然；引导表示让步的状语从句。though 外还表示“不过、可是”等意思。例如：

Most of the land below looked like sand，though Dad toldme it is greener than you think.下面的土地看起来绝大部分像沙子，可是父亲告诉我地面上比人所想像的要绿些。

句中 than you think 中的 you 指“任何一人”。
