第154句 高速公路

With the building of good, fast motorways, long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly,

译文：

由于修建了快捷的高速公路，我们能够迅速而又愉快地到达遥远的地方。

点睛：

该句中有两个考点需注意，一是“with+复合结构”，二是cover -词的特殊用法。With the building of good，fast motorways就相当于Since good,fast motorways have been built.cover在此不是“遮盖，覆盖；包含”等常见意思，而是“走完一段路程”。

They were hoping to cover 60 miles yesterday.
他们昨天计划走60英里。
