1. 認識這個詞（基礎篇）

詞：be home to

英英釋義：be the place where something or someone is located

例句：Zhongguancun is home to about 9,000 hi-tech companies.

2. 體會這個詞 （進階篇）

我們都熟悉“home”的意思是“家”，be home to 常用來表示“某人或某物的所在地”，“某地擁有”，比如“中國有十四億人”就可以說成“China is home to 1.4 billion people”。home 的這種用法是一個常見的、經(jīng)常被忽略的好用表達。

當我們介紹一個地區(qū)的特色時，就可以用到 be home to。注意這里的 home 不可數(shù)，只能用單數(shù)形式。比如中國的黑龍江省大慶市是中國的石油之城，我們介紹的時候就可以說：

Daqing is home to China’s largest oil reserves.

北京有 7 處歷史文化遺產(chǎn)入選聯(lián)合國教科文組織頒布的“世界文化遺產(chǎn)名錄”，我們就可以說：

Beijing is home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

北京的中關村有近 9000 家高科技公司，我們就可以說：

Zhongguancun is home to about 9,000 hi-tech companies.

《衛(wèi)報》在報道中國科幻電影《流浪地球》時說：

China is already home to a thriving science and speculative fiction literary scene.

《經(jīng)濟學人》在提到加州的教育改革時說：

Since California is home to around one in eight American children aged five and under, and also has the nation’s highest poverty rate, what happens there matters a great deal.

3. 從認識到會用（作業(yè)）

1）翻譯下面的句子：

埃塞爾比亞有 80 多個民族

Ethiopia is home to more than 80 ethnic groups.

造句

Silicon Valley (in America) is home to many high-tech companies.

（參考翻譯：Ethiopia is home to more than 80 ethnic groups.）
