②Eastern-and-Western-style 东西方风格的
③villa [＇vil+] n.别墅
④vessel [＇vesl] n. 船（非常正式的用词）
【写法指要】
1）本文引言段是对青岛的概述。第二段描写其海滨的特色和市内建筑的特点。第三段写其港口的景色及其在我国对外贸易中所起的作用。
2）本文有两种句子结构值得借鉴：其一是平行结构，如第二段中的“all parts of the country and all corners of the world”和“walk along the beaches, go swimming in the sea, or do some shopping in the stores or on the markets”，这种结构能够给人以节奏美的感觉。其二是倒装语序（inverted order）的句子：“Especially attractive are the building groups of the Eastern-and-Western-style mixed houses and villas.”这种句子是把表语提到句首，把主语置于句末。如果主语太长时可以这样做，它可以避免头重脚轻的缺陷。英语句法修辞上有一条“句尾重心”（end weight）的准则，要求把分量重的成分放在句子末尾，以起到强调主要内容的作用。
