In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language 使用了强调句型,强调原因状语 for this reason。
强调句结构:It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 句子其余部分。
去掉 It is…that… 后句子仍完整:Spanish is the main official language for this reason.
例:It was in the library that I met her. 就是在图书馆我遇见了她。
A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you'll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.
spend one day travelling 和 spend three days exploring 均使用 spend time doing sth 结构。
spend 的主语通常是人:spend time/money on sth / (in) doing sth。
I spent two hours reading the book. 我花了两个小时读这本书。
This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Inca's dry stone method of building.
