　　当你到巴黎游玩时，別把时间全都花在看博物馆和纪念碑上面。它们当然很值得你花时间，但今天先忘掉它们。让我们来四处看看，体验一下巴黎的生活。你会发现它的迷人之处……

　　Take a stroll along the Seine River. Browse through the art vendors, colorful paintings. Peek through delicate iron gates at the well-kept gardens. Watch closely for the French attention to detail that has made France synonymous with good taste.

　　Spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an old bench. Lie on your back on the green grass. When you need refreshment, try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe.

　　Parisians love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals. In Paris the Music never ends.

　　Dont miss the highlight of Paris evening: eating out. Parisians are proud of their cuisine. And rightly so. its world famous.

　　「读书笔记」

　　沿著塞纳河漫步。（Take a stroll）浏览艺术家们丰富色彩的绘画，透过那些精致的铁门，（Peek through delicate iron gates）向內偷窺那些精心照看的花园。（at the well-kept gardens）仔细留心法国人对于细节的留心。（Watch closely for the French attention to detail）这使得法国成为“好品味”同义字。（that has made France synonymous with good taste）

　　花些时间，在一个安静的公园里面的旧板凳上轻松地休息。躺在青草地上。（Lie on your back on the green grass）想吃点心的时候，尝尝路边咖啡店的咖啡及点心。（try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe）

　　巴黎人热爱自己的音乐，繁星点缀的天空，就是他们演奏的大礼堂。（The starry sky is their auditorium）你也可以在皇宫或教堂里聆听音乐会。（You can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals）在巴黎，音乐是不会停止的。

　　別错过了巴黎夜晚的高潮：（the highlight of Paris evening）下馆子。（eating out）巴黎人对其烹饪非常骄傲。（are proud of their cuisine）理当如此，（rightly so）因为它世界驰名。

　　「句型留言板」

　　sth. never ends“……永远不会结束”

　　我们经常可以在歌曲或电影中听到这样的词句，love never ends, friendship never ends, dream never ends，可见，这是个好用又实用的句型，今天我们就来掌握它。

　　大家也许发现了，用在never ends之前的通常都是抽象名词，因为只有抽象的精神上的东西是永远不灭的嘛！而且，抽象名词没有复数，所以never后面的end要加s.当然，如果前面的主语变了，比如变成Our dreams，那后面也要相应地变成never end.而且，end的形态也要根据时态发生变化，比如：

　　They say that time mends a broken heart and true love never ends, but if true love never ended then time wouldnt have to mend.
　　人们说时间可以修补受伤的心，真爱永远不死，但如果爱真的永不会消失，为什么还要靠时间去修补呢？

　　（有点拗口，呵呵，不过也蛮有道理的，不是吗？）
