“是从…来的” 语法 I’m looking to practice the 【是从…来的】sentence pattern and would like to get feedback on the sentences I've put together below. 谢谢！ 我的朋友不喜欢开车。我以前觉得因为他没有那么多钱，可是我最近发现了因为他是从波士顿来的。在波士顿，人们常常用地铁或者公共汽车。比起波士顿，这个城市的交通不太拥挤。看样子所有的人有车。对我来说，有应变能力很重要。那你觉得我的朋友应该做什么？ My friend doesn’t like driving. I initially thought it was because he didn’t have money, but I recently discovered it’s because he’s from Boston. In Boston, people often use subways or public buses. In comparison to Boston, this city isn’t as congested. It seems as if most people have a car here. In my opinion, being able to adapt is important. What do you think my friend should do? 昨天晚上我碰到了一个小孩子。我问他, “你是从哪里来的？” 他说他的爸爸妈妈是法国人，但是因为他在美国出生了，所以他是美国人。我觉得他说的话很有意思。你觉得家在哪儿？在你的心的地方吗？在你出生的地方吗？还是在你的爸爸妈妈出生的地方吗？ Yesterday evening I ran into a small child. I asked him, “Where are you from?” He said that his parents are French, but that because he was born in the United States, he’s American. I thought what he said was interesting. Where do you think home is? Where your heart is? Where you were born? Or, where your parents were born?

I’ve never been to a Sichuan restaurant before, so last weekend my classmates and I went to a Sichuan restaurant close to our school. The food was tasty, but it was a lot spicier than I was expecting. 早就听说北京的夏天热得要命。我刚到了北京以后，就买了一台空调。但是这台空调比不上北京的夏天。北京的夏天比我想象的热多了。那我就应该做什么？你觉得哪儿有帮助？我就需要等冬天吗？大家都说时间过得这么快，对啊？ I heard Beijing summers are really hot. So immediately after I got to Beijing, I bought an A/C unit. But that A/C unit was no match for the Beijing heat. Beijing summers are hotter than I imagined. What should I do? What do you think would be helpful? Should I just wait until winter? I mean, they say time flies, right? 我以前听说北京有空气污染的问题。但是我以为觉得这样的问题是每个城市体验的事情之一。我来到了北京才了解北京的真是与众不同。我就到了北京以后，我的鼻子，喉咙不舒服。北京的空气污染的问题比我想象的重多了。我觉得真是百闻不如一见。 I heard Beijing had a problem with air pollution. I thought this was one of the problems every city faces. It wasn’t until I came to Beijing that I realized Beijing’s problem with air pollution was of a different type. As soon as I got to Beijing, my nose and throat started feeling bad. Beijing’s air pollution problem was a lot more serious than I had imagined. It’s one of those things you have to see to believe.
