Lee: And just up the road was a village of such poverty.

文法解析：這個(gè)句子是倒裝句。如果表語是介詞短語的話，可以將之放于句首進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。

臺(tái)詞中up the road是介詞短語，意思是“在路邊”，臺(tái)詞中還是用just這個(gè)副詞，意思是“就”來加強(qiáng)強(qiáng)調(diào)的語氣。Was是系動(dòng)詞，a village of such poverty是主語。由此，這個(gè)倒裝句的結(jié)構(gòu)是：介詞短語+系動(dòng)詞+主語。

詞匯精講：poverty的意思是“state of being poor”，譯為“貧窮或貧困”。例如：

My grandmother lived in poverty all her life. 我的奶奶一輩子都過著窮困的生活。

She had been worn down by poverty and illness. 她貧病交加, 受盡折磨。

Lee: In fact,the hotel solicits donations to help support the people who live there.

詞匯精講：solicit是及物動(dòng)詞，意思是：ask (sb) for (eg money, help, votes) earnestly。譯為：懇求（某人）給予（錢﹑ 幫助等）。與之相關(guān)的固定搭配模式如下：~ (sb) (for sth); ~ (sth) (from sb)。例如：

He is always soliciting me for money. 他總是向我要錢。

Mu husband is always soliciting money from me. 我的丈夫總是向我要錢。

He solicited information about the new motorway. 他已經(jīng)探詢新的高速公路的情況。

Both candidates solicited my opinion. 兩位候選人都來向我征求意見。

短語注釋：in fact的意思是“其實(shí)，實(shí)際上”。例如：

In fact it was quite as well that she should not know. 事實(shí)上，她確實(shí)還是不知道為妙。

I said it was Tuesday, but in fact it was Monday. 我說那天是星期二，實(shí)際上是星期一。

Lee: But after seeing how these lovely people lived, I needed to do more than just write a check.

臺(tái)詞賞析：這句話是采訪中的一位Lee說的話，她說道她所住的酒店幫助了路邊的貧窮人們，當(dāng)她看到這些人生活幸福的時(shí)候，她認(rèn)為她要做的事情不僅僅就是捐錢，寫張支票給酒店了，而是要做更多的事情，這個(gè)更多的事情就是希望雜志來呼吁整個(gè)社會(huì)來關(guān)心這些窮人和學(xué)習(xí)這家酒店的道德風(fēng)尚。

文法解析：after seeing how those lovely people lived是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作時(shí)間狀語，after可以省略。

Lee: I don't have the words. So I'll leave that to you.

口語短句：Sb. don’t have the words. 某人用言語難以表達(dá)。

臺(tái)詞欣賞：So I’ll leave that to you.這句話是Lee在采訪后最后說的，leave的意思是“把.......留給”，leave that to you的意思就是把她難以用言語表達(dá)的東西通過貝蒂這些雜志編輯將她的心聲表達(dá)出來。
