李黛予和表妹劉倩前往加拿大探望居住在大西洋海岸哈利法克斯市的表兄妹。她們沒有一路乘坐商業(yè)航班，而是決定先飛到溫哥華，然后再乘坐火車。一想到可以坐火車橫穿整個國家，姐妹倆就激動不已。

Ratherthantravelbycommercialairlinealltheway,theydecidedtoflytoVancouverandthentakethetrain.

ratherthan為并列連詞，表示選擇，意為“而不是”。它通常用在平行結(jié)構(gòu)中，連接兩個并列的句子成分，即ratherthan前后兩部分在成分和形式上應該一致。并列成分可以是動詞、名詞、代詞、形容詞、介詞（短語）、動名詞、分句、不定式等。Heisanexplorerratherthanasailor.YouratherthanIaregoingtocamping.Thesweatersheboughtwasbeautifulratherthancheap.Sheenjoyssingingratherthandancing.I

次日清晨，兩個女孩早早起床，登上開往路易斯湖的火車,穿越加拿大落基山脈。從車窗往外望去，加拿大巍峨的山脈和遼闊的森林盡收眼底?；疖嚨秸竞?，她們乘坐出租車前往路易斯湖。那里湛藍的湖水美麗異常，攝人心魄。住了一夜之后，她們乘坐長途汽車，向北穿過加拿大落基山脈，直達賈斯珀。望著眼前的美景，兩人一致認為這是她們所經(jīng)歷過的最棒的一次旅行。除了欣賞壯麗的山峰和森林，旅程的亮點之一是能看到種類繁多的動物，如鹿、山羊、甚至還有一只灰熊和一只老鷹。Lookingatthebeautifulscenery,theybothagreedthatitwasthemostawesomejourneytheyhadevertaken.賓語從句省略了關(guān)系詞that的定語從句,關(guān)系詞在句中作賓語①SheisthemostintelligentstudentthatIhave

在賈斯珀，她們坐上了開往多倫多的火車。火車的頭幾站中有一站是埃德蒙頓，這是阿爾伯塔的省會，也是加拿大龐大的油氣開采業(yè)中心。埃德蒙頓冬季十分寒冷，日平均氣溫為零下10攝氏度。由于天寒地凍，不適合戶外活動，因此埃德蒙頓擁有眾多大型購物中心。事實上，北美最大的購物中心之一就在埃德蒙頓。

火車從埃德蒙頓出發(fā)，向東南方行駛，一路穿越加拿大大草原。黛予和劉倩在學校學過，加拿大的人口才剛過3700萬。但兩人還是未曾料想能看到如此遼闊的國度，真是驚嘆不已。她們穿越兩個種植小麥的省份，看到一片片廣闊的農(nóng)場。
