75. The Amish 　p.1 In the heart of America, in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, live (vi.)some people who are not your typical Americans. In order to lead simple lives, they dont use cars. Instead, they drive horse-drawn buggies. They dont use electric lights, either, not to mention telephones. They make their own clothing, which looks ancient. And, to make matters worse, they dont speak English but German among themselves. These people are the Amish. They settled in America almost 300 years ago. Most of them are farmers who stay away from the temptations of the city. As modern life becomes more and more complicated, the Amish way of life seems to make more and more sense. ☆in the heart of 在…心脏地带 ☆dream a sweet dream sigh a/an … sigh 叹了一口…的气 ☆lead a rich life = live a complicated life ☆Instead,... = On the contrary,... ☆buggy = wagon 马车 ☆I cant afford a Ford, not to mention a Benz. 更不要说 = to say nothing of = not to speak of +n./动名 用于肯定句或否定句中 let alone = much less 　用于否定用句中,前后词类相同． Eg：He hasnt enough money for food, let alone amusements. 他连吃饭钱都不够，就更不用说玩儿的钱了。 The baby can’t even walk , let alone run. 前后都为动原 … not to mention running. 动名 ☆clothing 单数 clothes 复数 ☆To make matters worse,... = Whats worse,... 　“更糟的是” Whats better,... ☆settle down 定居 ☆stay away from = keep away from 避开 seem 似乎 stay away from school v.旷课 stay away v.外出 keep away v.防范 ☆make (no, a lot of) sense 有意义 make sense of = understand v.搞清...的意思；了解 ☆1主+vi+地方性副词(短语)= 地方副词(短语)+vi+主　　倒装 Bill stood there.=There stood bill.
