    上句见:Day60
    The Story of Philosophy的第61句:第1章Plato第1节The Context of Plato第3段第1句:

    Look at the map a last time, and observe the position of Athens: it is the farthest east of the larger cities of Greece. It was favorably placed to be the door through which the Greeks passed out to the busy cities of Asia Minor, and through which those elder cities sent their luxuries and their culture to adolescent Greece. It had an admirable port, Piræus, where countless vessels might find a haven from the rough waters of the sea. And it had a great maritime fleet.
    浙江大学版本:最后再看一遍地图,观察雅典的位置你会发现,原来它是希腊几个较大城市中最靠东的,

    解析

    这句点出雅典的独特的地理位置:较大城市中最靠东。
    1、'Look at the map a last time, and observe the position of Athens: …’再看一次地图并观察雅典,并会有跟雅典有关的发现。

    2、’...it is the farthest east of the larger cities of Greece.'雅典的地理特点:希腊大城市中最靠东的。虽然雅典不是希腊中最靠东的,却是希腊较大城市中最靠东的。这句显示了写作要严谨且要突出关键。
    the farthest east"中farthest是far的最高级,来修饰east。

    最后再看下地图并观察雅典的位置,你会发现它是希腊较大城市中最靠东的。
