六級詞匯講解:
locate在此處意為“查找”。one通常與another搭配使用,表示“一個……另一個……”;one還可以跟another連在一起組成短語one another,意為“互相”。如:

隊員們相互支持。
英語六級考點歸納:
本句包含了一個重要句型:It is one thing to...,but it is quite another to意為“……是一回事,……又是另一回事”。如:
It is one thing to say,but it is quite another to do.
說是一回事,做又是另一回事。

On the one hand, I love the freedom of being single; on the other hand, the idea of being married and having a family is very attractive.
一方面,我熱愛自由的單身生活;另一方面,結(jié)婚成家的念頭對我也很有吸引力。
