今天的句子:
Right now, fully autonomous cars are rolling around Pittsburgh, the San Francisco Bay area, and parts of Michigan, shuttling people from here to there with minimal manual intervention. Instead of fixing the old subway trains, let’s rip out the tracks and fill the tunnels with fleets of autonomous vehicles running on pavement. The result would be radical improvements in throughput while saving money and increasing the ability of the system to survive a fire, flood, or terrorist attack.
思考題一:
Autonomous cars are widely used in many American cities to replace the old trains.
思考題二:
The system of subway is vulnerable to fire and flood contrast to the autonomous vehicles.
詞匯突破:
1. fully autonomous cars 完全自動駕駛汽車
2. San Francisco Bay area 舊金山灣區簡稱(Bay area )
3. rolling around 滾動行駛
4.instead of = not;? 這就是一個否定詞!記好了!
? I will work hard during the vacation, instead of killing time on Douyin.
? 假期里我會努力而不是在抖音上浪費時間。
Instead= however!
Aman promised the money to JPP. Instead, he gave it to KK,his own true love, finally.
(一男答應把錢給JPP. 但最后還是給了他自己的真愛,KK.)
(注意promise的用法。注意he 和his指代的是 Aman,畢竟有own;his own true love 是KK的同位語。)
這樣理解做題才不會出錯。你相信我!
5.rip out: 撕毀,拆除,
6.pavement : 路面 (但這里顯現不是人行道的意思就是路面)
7. throughput:吞吐量
8.survive sth:渡過,幸免于難
The company survived the crisis.
公司渡過了危機
9. radical improvement: 極大提高,徹底提高
第一句:
Right now, fully autonomous cars are rolling around Pittsburgh, the San Francisco Bay area, and parts of Michigan, shuttling people from here to there with minimal manual intervention.
切分:
1. Right now, fully autonomous cars are rolling around Pittsburgh, the San Francisco Bay area, and parts of Michigan
2. shuttling people from here to there with minimal manual intervention.
參考譯文:現在,完全自動駕駛汽車在匹茲堡,舊金山灣區和密歇根州的部分地區滾動行駛,在兩個地點之間穿梭運送人們,而且只需很少的手動干預。
思考題一:
Autonomous cars are widely used in many American cities to replace the old trains.
這個說法前面都沒有問題包括widely 和many 在考研的選項中加上都可以認為是正確的,這種程度的加減在沒有更準確的選項時都是可以接受的。但是最后的to replace the old trains(代替老式的火車)就是不可接受的了。
所以這個思考題是錯誤的。
第二句:
Instead of fixing the old subway trains, let’s rip out the tracks and fill the tunnels with fleets of autonomous vehicles running on pavement.
切分:
1.Instead of fixing the old subway trains,
2. let’s rip out the tracks
3. and fill the tunnels with fleets of autonomous vehicles running on pavement.
參考譯文:不用修理舊的地鐵列車,把鐵軌拆掉,鋪平道路,讓自動駕駛汽車組成的車隊在隧道里行駛并填滿這些隧道。
第三句:
The result would be radical improvements in throughput while saving money and increasing the ability of the system to survive a fire, flood, or terrorist attack.
切分:
1. The result would be radical improvements in throughput
2. while saving money and increasing the ability of the system to survive a fire, flood, or terrorist attack.
參考譯文:其結果將是極大提高吞吐量,同時節省資金,以及增強系統在火災、洪水或恐怖襲擊中幸免于難的能力。
思考題二:
The system of subway is vulnerable to fire and flood contrast to the autonomous vehicles.
(和無人駕駛交通工具相比,地鐵系統容易受到火災和洪水的傷害。)
既然文中說了,使用無人駕駛汽車可以提高交通系統的應對火災和洪水的能力。
所以這個說法是對的。
這是明天的句子:
Yet, thanks to cross-party alliances forged in the Lords, the Conservative and Labour leaders, and pro-Brexit MPs, will this week be obliged to justify why they think quitting or, in Labour’s case, not-quite-quitting, the single market, the most advantageous and profitable trading arrangement the UK has enjoyed, is a good idea.
思考題一:
According to Conservative and Labour leaders, cross-party alliance is a good idea.
思考題二:
According to Conservative and Labour leaders,the agreement of single market is a good idea.
思考題三:
According to Conservative and Labour leaders, quitting the single market is a good idea.
