Question

新概念英语3的第15课的这句如何理解？

Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there.
1、Very few of 是表示很少的意思吗？
2、fifty pence pieces 和pound coins 前面是50便士后面又是英镑的硬币，怎么理解？
3、found their way there.最后加了there是什么意思？

Answer 1

1. 对。 few 本身具有否定含义，表示很少的，几乎没有。

2. 我的理解是这样的：50便士的硬币和成磅的硬币。
fifty pence piece是固定表达，当说面值时用。eg.a two-cent piece 一枚二分硬币。或者是 a piece of two。
而pound coins 就是指英镑的硬币，比如1英磅，2英镑。。。

3.there 在此处肯定是指代作用。如果你结合这句的上下文来看，就不难发现there指代的是money box。
上下文是：My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the 50 pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there.翻译成汉语来看，就更清晰明了：我的外甥乔治有一个储蓄罐，但总是空空的。我给了不少50便士的硬币，但没有几个存到储蓄罐里。

如果觉得言之有理，记得采纳哦~

追问

found their way there就=found their way money box？但是这句话我还是不太懂，求进一步解答
