2--How do you usually get to school?
1--We never go by car! We usually walk or go by bus.
2--How long does it take you?
1--About twenty minutes by bus.
===================================
注解:
1)speed limitzhi指交通規(guī)則所限定的行車速度。
2)About twenty minutes by bus是省略句。全句應是
It takes us about twenty minutes to get to school
by bus. take作“花費”“需要”解,其后的us是間接
賓語,about twenty minutes是直接賓語。it是形式
主語,真正的主語是不定式短語to get to school by
bus.
===================================
