Reading P1
Asia is the world’s largest continent2 and has billions3 of people. It was home to several ancient civilizations4 and religions5. Asian cultures thus are very different from one another. One way to experience the various cultures of Asia is to visit its festivals. You might know that Thaiž people pour6 water on one another on their New Year’s Day. If you think that is bizarre, you’ll probably be even more surprised by the following two unusual7 festivals. 亞洲是世界最大洲,擁有數十億人口。它是許多古文明和宗教的發源地,因此亞洲文化彼此差異甚大。體驗各種亞洲文化的方法之一,就是參與它的節慶。你或許知道泰國人在泰國新年當天互相潑水慶祝,若你覺得那很怪異,那麼以下兩個怪異的節慶或許更讓你驚訝。
1 Asia is the world’s largest continent and has billions of people.
billions of + N 數十億的
2 It was home to several ancient civilizations and religions.
1. home在此句中解釋為「發源地」,其中be home to + N需要特別留意。例如:
The city of New Orleans is home to jazz.
2. ancient civilizations意思是「古文明」。
3 Asian cultures thus are very different from one another.
1. thus = therefore,「因此」的意思,通常可放置於句首或句中。
2. be different from... 意思是「與……不同」,等同於differ from...;本句亦可改為Asian cultures thus differ greatly from one another.
My favorite sport is different from my sister’s. I love cycling while she likes swimming.
3. one another是「彼此之間」。
True friends always help one another when they have problems.
4 One way to experience the various cultures of Asia is to visit its festivals.
句型文法  One way to + VR + be + to + VR
的方法之一就是
One way to keep fair skin is to have plenty of water and sleep.
5 If you think that is bizarre, you’ll probably be even more surprised by the following two unusual festivals.
句型文法  If + S + 現在式V, S + will + VR….
表示未來可能實現的條件
If it rains, our outdoor party will be cancelled.

Reading P2
One is the Rocket8 Festival (Bun Bang Fai), which takes place in Thailand in the middle of May. It is a three-day-long holiday which includes music and dance performances, parades9 with beautiful floatsž, and the firing of homemade rockets. Since each rocket is packed with 25 kilograms of gunpowderž, the Rocket Festival is considered one of Asia’s loudest celebrations. It is held just before farmers plant10 their crops11 at the beginning of the rainy season. The rockets are fired into the sky to worship12 the rain god Vassakanž. It is believed that Vassakan loves the loud sound of huge rockets. People hope that he will be pleased13 and send down rain to water the fields. 一個是五月中旬在泰國舉行的火箭節(泰文叫Bun Bang Fai)。它是個為期三天的節慶,其中包含音樂及舞蹈表演、美麗的花車遊行和發射自製火箭炮。因為每支火箭都裝載25公斤的火藥粉,火箭節被認為是亞洲最大聲的慶典之一。慶典在雨季剛開始時、農夫種植農作物前舉行。火箭被發射升空敬拜雨神瓦薩岡。據說瓦薩岡喜愛巨大火箭發出的巨響。人們希望藉此取悅他,降雨灌溉農田。
6 One is the Rocket Festival (Bun Bang Fai), which takes place in Thailand in the middle of May.
SPP3: One…. The other (one)….
²  代名詞onethe other用於指稱明確的兩個人、事或物,表示「一個……,另一個……。」
²  onethe other都接單數動詞。
²  如果要指稱的人、事或物只是該群體中任兩項,則用oneanother。用法可參考第二冊L8句型III

(一個是火箭節。另一個是哭聲相撲節。)
(此處指課文第6~7行提到的the following two unusual festivals。)

Ÿ         People in Taiwan celebrate many Western holidays. Christmas is one. Valentine’s day is another.
(臺灣人慶祝很多西洋節日,聖誕節是一個,情人節是另一個。)
1. which前加逗點,是「非限定用法」。先行詞the Rocket Festival為專有名詞,不可用限定用法。
2. take place「發生;舉行」, 類似的字有occur happen,但take placeoccurhappen不用被動語態,只有hold這個字可以用被動語態。
The meeting took place last Friday. (○)
Something bad happened last night. (○)
The meeting was taken place/was occurred/was happened last Friday. (×)
The meeting was held (by us) last Friday. (○)
7 It is a three-day-long holiday which includes music and dance performances, parades with beautiful floats, and the firing of homemade rockets.

an eight-year-old boy 一位八歲的男孩
a six-foot-wide box 一個六呎寬的箱子
2. which includes... = including... 包含
SPP4: 複合形容詞:number-N-Adj

²  此複合形容詞結構:數字-單位-形容詞,用來表示連續時間的長度、人的年紀、人/物高度、面積長寬、容器深度、物品厚度等。
²  不論數字為何,單位都維持單數形式。
²  常用形容詞有long, old, tall, high, wide, deep, thick等。
²  如果不特別描述「程度」,可將形容詞刪去,成為「number-N」。用字精簡,卻仍保有大部分此複合形容詞的含意。
Ÿ         The Rocket Festival is a three-day-long holiday which includes music and dance performances, parades with beautiful floats, and the firing of homemade rockets.
(火箭節是一個為期三天的節日,包括音樂和舞蹈表演、美麗的花車遊行以及自製火箭發射。)

At this annual15 festival, sumo wrestlersž hold babies high in the air and try to make them cry. They even make ugly faces to scare the babies into crying more loudly. The baby who cries the loudest is the winner of the contest. People in Japan think that this crying helps to scare away evil16 ghosts, bring blessings17, and keep babies healthy. Therefore, no matter how cruel18 it might seem to people in other countries, the Japanese firmly19 believe in this tradition. 另一個節慶是日本的哭聲相撲節,那是四月在日本舉行的一項比賽。世上大多數父母都會盡力確保小孩不哭,但在日本剛好相反。在這一年一度的節慶中,相撲選手把小寶寶高高舉起到空中,試著弄哭他們。他們甚至扮醜陋的鬼臉把嬰孩嚇到哭得更大聲,哭最大聲的寶寶就贏得比賽。日本人認為哭聲可以嚇走惡鬼、帶來祝福和讓小寶寶健康。因此,不論這麼做在外國人眼裡有多殘忍,日本人還是堅決地相信這個傳統。
