都是名词，“声音”。sound 可以指人或动物发出的声音，或物体碰撞声。大自然的任何“声音”都可以用 sound。

voice 指人的声音，说话、谈笑或唱歌。

e.g. At night she heard a strange sound．夜里她听到一种奇怪的声音。 The girl has a sweet voice．

那女孩嗓音很美。 5. Is this by Strauss or Mozart? 这是施特劳斯还是莫扎特的作品？

by意为“由……创作” ，by还可根据句子翻译成“由……写的”“由……演唱”。

翻译句子：

我喜欢鲁迅写的小说。 I like novels by Lu Xun. 莉莉正在阅读一本郭敬明的书。

Lily is reading a book by Guo Jingming. 6. It goes through Vienna. 它流经维也纳。

through & across through和across作介词，都可表示“穿过”，但含义有所区别：

▲through表示动作发生在立体空间，是从物体内部穿过，如穿过森林、隧道等；

▲across表示动作在物体表面进行，从一边到另一边，意思侧重“横过”，如过马路、过桥、过河等。

【运用】选词填空

________________ are teachers. (3) 他们俩都很友好。

________________ are friendly. Keys: (1) likes both (2) Both of my aunts (3) Both of them 8. Give us a break! “让我们清静会吧！”

Give us a break! 意为“得了吧，饶了我们吧”，语义上相当于Stop annoying us! 当我们想要告诉对方不要再烦人了，就可以说Give us/me a break! 9. And much too fast!

而且节奏太快了！

much too＝too，意为“太”，但前者语气更强；

too much＝much，意为“太多”，但前者语气更强。

例如：

You are much too kind to me. 你对我实在太好了。 I drank too much cola last night．

昨天晚上我可乐喝得太多了。
