Lesson 8 The best and the worst最好的和最差的 Why is Joes garden the most beautiful one in the town? Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for The Nicest Garden Competition each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Friths garden is larger than Joes.

Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town! 参考译文 乔.桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园。几乎每个人都参加每年举办的“最佳花园竞赛”，而每次都是乔获胜。比尔.弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大，他比乔也更为勤奋，种植的花卉和蔬菜也更多，但乔的花园更富有情趣。他修筑了一条条整洁的小路，并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥。我也喜欢花园，但我却不愿意辛勤劳动。每年的花园竞赛我也参加，但总因是镇上最劣的花园而获得一个小奖！ 【New words and expressions】（5） 1 HYPERLINK /competition.htmcompetition [?k?mpiti??n] n.比赛,竞赛 2 HYPERLINK /neat.htmneat [ni:t] a.整齐的，整洁的 3 HYPERLINK /path.htmpath [pɑ:θ] n.小路，小径 4 HYPERLINK /wooden.htmwooden [wudn] a.木头的 5 HYPERLINK /pool.htmpool [pu:l] n.水池 一、单词讲解 competition [,k?mpiti??n] n.比赛，竞赛 (contest) eg.
