Question

【題目】 【1】You may have heard of the famous saying, “East or west, home is the best.”【2】“home”這個(gè)詞對(duì)你來說意味著什么? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? 【3】Although people usually know that the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. 【4】家不僅是屋頂和四面墻. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

【5】Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

【3】英譯漢。although：盡管；people usually know：人們通常知道；the word means：這個(gè)詞的意思；sometimes：有時(shí)；has no exact translation：沒有確切的翻譯；本題是由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句因?yàn)?/span>although不與but連用，但是也要翻譯出來。雖然……但是……。所以答案是：雖然人們通常知道這個(gè)詞的意思，但是它有時(shí)也沒有確切的翻譯。
