It was Sunday. Our teacher Mr Zhu led us to a park nearby.Usually we go to the park to spend our holiday. But today we went there to take part in voluntary labour.
We got there at nine o'clock. Mr Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working.
The students in Group One planted trees and watered flowers. The studentsin Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourist. They also cleaned the benches in the park. I was in Group Three. We went to the children's playground and cleaned all the equipment there. We worked very hard.
At about eleven we finished working. We met at the gate of the park. We all felt tired but very happy.
1。thereof
以”there”为前缀加上介词构成的词,如thereafter, thereby, therein, thereinafter, thereinbefore, thereon, thereof, thereunder, thereupon, therewith等,在文中具体指什么,需要读者依照合同的上下文来判断,因而理解起来比较复杂,请看下例:
This Agreement is written in the English language。 In case of any discrepancy between the English version and any translation thereof, the English text shall govern。 句中”the English version and any translation thereof”从上下文判断意为 “the English version and any translation of the English version”,即thereof一词代替of the English version。与以here开头的词如hereof的理解方法类似。
2。therein
该词意为in that, in that particular
context, in that respect,“在那里”,“在那点上”,“在那方面”,表示上文已提及的“合同中的”“工程中的”。如:the contract or any part thereof意为the contract or any part of the contract,合同或合同的任何部分。

该词意为by means of , by reason of this, by this agreement,“特此”,“因此”,“兹”,“在此”。此词常用作法律、经贸文件、合同、协议书等正式文件的开头语,在合同条款中需特别强调时也可用,表示当事人借此合约,要宣示某种具有法律效力的“意思表示”,如保证、同意、放弃权利等,一般放于主语后,紧邻主语。如:The Company hereby covenants and warrants that…… 意为:By this agreement the Company covenants and warrants that……即:公司在此保证……再如:Both parties hereby agree that……意为:By this agreement both parties agree that……即:双方当事人在此同意……
2。hereof

清晨六点,闹钟把迷迷糊糊的我叫醒了,快起床!要晚了!”爸爸妈妈也来叫我,我”噌”的一下坐起来,想起我们要去衡水湖旅游,就赶忙起来了。
到了衡水湖,便见一望无际的湖水,迎风眺望,只见湖面的船只星罗棋布,数不胜数。我们乘船来到湖中,船突然忽左忽右,听爸爸说,原来是水草挂住了船,果然水里有好多的.水草漂浮着。大约过了半个小时,我们才到了第一个景点:梅花岛。我迫不及待的下船,刚走进岛中,便看见美丽的孔雀,它漂亮极了,有一只孔雀见有人来了,便来了个孔雀开屏,我连忙给它照了一张相片。
该参观第二个景点了,船又划了大约十里,虽见水草连绵不断,却也平淡无奇,又行了几里,眼前的景色大为转变,千万条芦苇随风飘荡,这就是有名的芦苇荡,我用了九牛二虎之力才拔了一根,作为纪念。
第三个景点是观鸟岛,上岛以后,却发现鸟儿稀少,妈妈告诉我现在还不是鸟来的时候,得等到八月份才行。望着郁郁葱葱的树木,我仿佛看到八月来临时成千上万的鸟儿在空中飞翔。
时间过的真快,我们要回家了。我依依不舍的离开了宽阔美丽的衡水湖。
衡水湖啊,你是我心中的歌!我会永远记住你!

伍谦光(1995∶200指出:“‘语音歧义’往往是由于句中词语的‘连续’而产生的歧义。”语音歧义多出现于口语中,主要是由上图表中的同音异义词以及部分同形同音异义中的C类(即一些意义不同,但某些语法形式相同的词(Homoforms造成的。下面是一实例:
(22“面包是怎么做的?”
“这我知道!”阿丽丝热心地叫道。
“准备一些面粉(flour——”
“到哪儿去采花(flower?”白女王问道,“花园里还是树篱上?”
“咦,面粉不是采(picked来的,”阿丽丝解释道,
“它是磨(ground出来的——”
“那要多少英亩土地(ground呢?”白女王又问道。
——刘易士·卡罗尔《阿丽丝漫游奇境记》
上面这一段文字因为运用了语音歧义,造成了很好的幽默效果。首先flour与flower是同音异义词,因此白女王把面粉flour理解成了花粉flower。其次阿丽丝用的ground是动词grind(磨碎、碾碎的过去分词,而白女王把ground理解成了“土地”。这一组就是笔者认为的由意义不同、但某些语法形式相同的词(Homoforms造成的语音歧义。
