2017年12月英语六级阅读高频词汇及考点解析(14)
Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior Seem to be outcomes of large population size.
不管怎样,多相性和不寻常的行为似乎都是人口膨胀的结果。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是...heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes....everything considered为条件状语。
heterogeneity意为“多种多样;多相性”。如:
I believe that in spite ofits heterogeneity, Asians who live in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia do share certain personal and societal values.
我认为,亚洲虽是多元化的地区,但居住在东北亚和东南亚的亚洲人确实具有些共同的个人的和社会的价值观。
outcome意为“结果;后果”。如:
What was the outcome ofyour interview?
你面试的结果如何?
六级考点归纳:
本句中出现了everything considered,它与considering everything的含义相近但不相同,二者的区别在于:
everything considered在句中作状语时,其所在句子的主语可以是考虑问题的人,也可以不是,意为“无论如何”。如:
Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself.
不管怎样,娱乐都比工作更乏味。
considering everything所在句子的主语则必须是考虑问题的人,在句中作状语,意为“总的来说”。如:
Considering everything,the time was collided with my classes.
总的来说,这个时间与我上课的时间冲突了。
We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to Summon a peson from the Philippines to one's side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a 8ign of farewell.
我们没有意识到,挥手告别这一手势在菲律宾是“让人来到自己身边”的意思,而把手指弯向自己这一手势在意大利以及一些拉美国家意味着说再见。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是We do not realize that...两个that分别引导realize的宾语从句。waving good-bye为固定说法,意为“挥手以示再见”。summon意为“召唤;召集”。如:
The shareholders were summoned to a general meeting.
那些股东被召集去参加股东大会。
curl意为“弯曲;卷曲”,本句中的curling the finger to oneself意为“把手指弯向自己的方向”。 farewell意为“再见”,它比goodbye更正式,也更富有文学气息。如:
The president gave the Prince and his attendantsafarewell banquet.
总统为王子和他的随行人员举行了告别宴会。
