英语简单学第35课 The car race

There is a car race near our town every year. In 1995, there was a very big race.
There were hundreds of people there. My wife and I were at the race. Our friends, Julie and Jack were there, too. You can see us in the crowd. We are standing on the left.
There were twenty cars in the race. There were English cars, French cars, German cars, Italian cars, American cars and Japanese cars.
It was an exciting finish. The winner was Billy Stewart. He was in car number fifteen. Five other cars were just behind him.
On the way home, my wife said to me, “Don’t drive so quickly! You’re not Billy Stewart!”

1. hundreds of, 数以百计的。这是用来表示不定数量的复数形式。类似的结构还有thousands of（数以千计的）， millions of（数以万计的）。但必须注意：说 five hundred（五百，500），six thousand（六千， 6，000），two million（两百万，200万）等时，hundred, thousand, million 这些词因为之前有具体数字而本身不加-s。

2. at the race, 观看比赛。这里的at是"出席"、"在某场合"的意思。

3. Our friends Julie and Jack were there, too.我们的朋友朱莉和杰克也去了。
   Julie and Jack是 Our friends的同位语。

4. car number fifteen, 第 15号车。
   在表示编了号的东西时，可以用基数词表示顺序：
