地道表达法——四级(五)
以下短语和句子均来自《四级听力新题型训练》以及《四级阅读短语训练》。
She was cut off while she was speaking.
她正说话时,被打断了。
注释:
cut off指中断,在本句中,cut someone off指打断某人的讲话,如果是被打断,则是be cut off。
此外,cut off还可指中断供给,比如断水断电,cut off water supply and electricity。如果你在打电话,却突然被cut off了,也就是电话断线,或者被挂电话了。大家记不记得《后会无期》中主角收听电台时,有观众打电话后来被主持人截断的?这里主持人就可以说cut off,“I’m going to cut you off now because we’ve got lots of callers waiting.”就谈到这里好吗,因为我们还有很多打来电话的人在等着呢。
既然cut off表示中断,那么中断的那个点或者终止本身怎么表示呢?我们可以看到cut-off (point),表示截止点,界限。比如截止日期,cut-off date,或是年龄限制,age cut-off。前面说到断水断电是cut off water supply and electricity,那么表示水电供应的终止,则可说the cut-off of water supply and electricity。
If you cut someone off when they are speaking, you interrupt them and stop them from speaking.
We will deal with this problem as soon as possible.
我们会尽快解决这个问题。
注释:
deal with在此表示“处理,应付,和……打交道”,我们也常用到cope with,handle,manage等。其中,deal with处理的事物可以是具体事情,也可以是某种抽象的问题,不考虑成功与否;cope with指成功地处理更为重大、更为严重的问题或事物;handle的处理有管理和操纵的意味;而manage则指处理日常事务与工作,也可指经营管理。
deal with还可指“与……做买卖,和……有生意往来”,比如“He’s a hard man to deal with.”,即可表示他很难相处,在特定语境下也可表示很难和这个人做生意。
这个词组也可表示克制不快的情感,冷静面对情感上的困难,比如克服恐惧,deal with one’s fear;或是用于表示书籍、演讲或电影涉及到哪方面的内容,比如这部电影主要讲环保,就可以说“The film deals mainly with environmental issues.”
When you deal with something or someone that needs attention, you give your attention to them, and often solve a problem or make a decision concerning them.
as soon as possible表示“尽快”,也可以用其他形容词来替换,比如尽可能多的,as much as possible,如果你想离一个人尽可能远一些,则可说stay as far away from someone as possible。
If you do something as soon as possible, you do it as soon as you can. If you get as much as possible of something, you get as much of it as you can.
We derive a great deal of pleasure from watching baseball games.
我们从观看棒球比赛中获得了巨大的乐趣。
注释:
derive from在此表示“获取,得到”,我们常说某人助人为乐,就可以说,He is one of those people who derive pleasure from helping others.
derive from还可表示“起源于,来自”,比如英语中有很多词汇源于拉丁语,我们就可以说,Much of English words are derived from Latin.
If you derive something such as pleasure or benefit from a person or from something, you get it from them.
a deal of指“许多,很多”,a great/good deal of则指大量。a great deal是可以单独使用的,也可用在形容词或者副词的比较级前,表示“大量,许多”,比如说兔子比乌龟跑得快多了,就可以说,“Rabbits run a great deal faster than turtles.”。而a great deal of只能用于不可数名词前。
If you say that you need or have a great deal of or a good deal of a particular thing, you are emphasizing that you need or have a lot of it.
Why didn’t they draw up a sourcing list?
他们为何不起草个采购清单?
注释:
draw up在本句中表示“起草,拟定”,此外也可指“使接近”,比如把椅子等拉近,draw up a chair。如果你draw yourself up,则指“伸直背部,挺直身子”。
表示“起草”时,我们还可以用到draft,compose,map out等等。其中,draft作动词时表示起草一封信件、一本书或者一封演讲稿,作名词时则表示信件、书或演讲的“初稿”。我们通常比较熟悉compose作为“构成,谱曲”的用法,如果是compose a letter/poem/speech,则指写、创作,强调非常用心,或是使用了大量的写作技巧。map out更强调“规划,安排”,比如大纲或时间安排。
If you draw up a document, list, or plan, you prepare it and write it out.
Due to an accident at the airport, our arrival will be delayed.
由于机场的一场事故,我们将延迟抵达。
注释:
在以前的托福地道表达法讲解中,我们曾经讲过due to的用法,大家还记得吗?
due to表示“因为,由于”,也可以说due to the fact that,owing to the fact that,on account of,on the grounds that等。比较简单的说法有because,for,since,as,其中,because用于回答why提出的问题,所引导的从句为全句的重心;for的语气较弱,表示附带说明或推断的理由;since语气弱于because,一般用于表示大家已知的事实;而as的语气最弱,表示重点在主句,原因或理由是附带说明。
If an event is due to something, it happens or exists as a direct result of that thing.
