在这
Knowledge is power. 知识就是力量
Meaning(解释): The more someone knows, the more equipped that person is. 一个人知道得越多,这个人就越有能力。
在这里了,我们可以重点注意一下, the more ..., the more ... 这个句式,它的意思是,越...;就越....。这个句子需要部分倒装句子。
举个例子,如果我们想说说,女孩子越漂亮,就越受欢迎。 写成 A girl is the more beautiful, she is the more popular. 是错误的,应该写成:The more beautiful a girl is, the more popular she is.
eg. (例句):Knowledge is power. If you know something about the past, it may help you to anticipate the future. 知识就是力量。如果你了解历史,你便可以预测未来。
下面,我们来仔细分析一下,它的第二句话。
Know something about ... 知道一些事情,关于...的。 接上后面 the past , 我们就可以知道的是,了解一些关于过去的事情。the past 隐含一个知识点, the + adj.(形容词) 表示具有共有特征的一类人或事物,像:the young 年轻人; the future 未来; the rich 富人等;你们还知道有哪些例子吗?
- Anticipate the future 预测未来
- help sb (to) do sth 帮助某人做某事
- If 引导条件状语从句
- know something about ... 了解关于....的一些事
Learn the ropes 摸到门道;掌握诀窍
meaning: To learn or understand the basic details of how to do or perform a job, task, or activity. 学习或者理解如何做一件事,执行一个任务,组织一个活动的基本细节
在这里,我们可以积累一些固定表达:
- the basic details 基本细节
- the basic facts 基本情况
- perform a job 完成工作
- perform a task 执行任务
- do an activity 组织活动
eg. We have a few high-priority projects we need to get done now, so you'll need to learn the ropes on your own. 我们有一些重要的项目需要去做,所以你需要自己学习摸索这么做这件事。
这个句子的前半部分是一个省略了 which/that 引导的定语从句, projects (which/that) we need to get done now,用以修饰 projects。
后面我们再来发现一下,这个句子里的常用表达:
- get sth done 完成某事
- on sb's own = by oneself 独自
- high-priority 高优先级的
- top/first priority 首位
- give priority to sth 优先考虑...
- have priority over sth 优先于...
Can't make heads or tails of sth 不明白,搞不懂 ...
meaning: Failed to understand or confused about something 不理解某些事情
Fail to do sth 是 没有做成某事,做某事失败了 的意思,在这个时候,我们要想一想,它的反面怎么说: succeed in (doing) sth 成功做某事。fail to understand, 想要理解,却没有做到,也就是 不理解。
在后面有一个 confuse about sth 对...感到困惑 , 也可以写成 be confused about sth 。
eg. I've been working with the new software for hours, but I still can't make heads or tails of it. 我已经研究这个新软件好几个小时了,但是我还是不明白,搞不懂它。
Have been doing sth = have done + be doing 现在完成进行时 ,表示过去的某个时段内,一直持续做某件事。 这里是 I've been working with the new software for hours,在过去的数个小时里,我一直在研究这个新软件。
补充:
- make heads or tails of sth 弄清楚
- try to make heads or tails of sth 尝试弄清楚
Burning the midnight oil = put an all-nighter 熬夜
meaning: Used by students to indicate late night / all night studies 学生用来表示自己学习到很晚或者学习一整夜
eg. I'm going to have to pull an all-nighter if I get this term paper done in time for school tomorrow. 如果我要明天按时交学校的学期论文,那就只能熬夜学习了。
If 引导的条件状语从句,遵循“ 主将从现 ” 原则。 be going to do sth 一般将来来时。
表达:
- get sth done in time 按时完成某事
- term paper 学期论文
- have to do sth 不得不做某事
Know something backwards or forwards 对某事了如指掌
meaning: To be an expert or intimately familar with something 对于某件事是专家或者深刻了解某件事
sb be familar with sth = sth be familar to sb 对...很熟悉
eg. I've read this book so many times, I know it backwards . 这本书我已经看了很多遍,我对它了如指掌。
Under one's belt 已经拥有了
meaning: Safely or satisfactorily achieved, experienced, or acquired 已经拥有
