致力于；專心于（to是介詞）devotionn.奉獻(xiàn);忠誠例1：Shedecidedtoquitherjobanddevotemoretimeto

yieldsinthefieldstheyhad.句意：袁隆平意識到，解決問題的辦法并不是擴大農(nóng)田面積，而是農(nóng)民們需要提高他們已有土地上農(nóng)作物的產(chǎn)量。yield

n.

產(chǎn)量；收益highyield

高產(chǎn)

lowyield

低產(chǎn)例1：Itwillbringyoua6%yieldonyourinvestment.

它會給你的投資帶來6%的利潤。yield

v.

除表示“生產(chǎn)；產(chǎn)出”之外，還可表示“屈服；放棄”之意。例2：Thefruittreesinhisorchardsyieldalargeamountofapplesandpearseveryyear.

他果園的果樹每年產(chǎn)出大量的蘋果和梨。例3：Weshallneveryieldtothedifficulties.

我們絕不會向困難低頭。YuanLongpingrealisedthatlargerfieldswerenotthesolution.Instead,farmersneededtoboost

2Theminehadyieldedatotalofabout3714tonsofcoal.

3Pollutedwaterlessenscropyields.4Hisbusinessyieldsverybigprofits.

那位英勇的軍人寧死也不肯屈服于這樣的敵人。這座礦已生產(chǎn)了3714噸煤。受污染的水源會降低農(nóng)作物產(chǎn)量。他的企業(yè)獲利很大。翻譯下列句子Today,itisestimatedthatabout60percentofdomesticriceconsumptioninChinaiscomprisedofcropsgeneratedfromYuan’shybridstrains,andhisstrainshaveallowedChina’sfarmerstoproducearound200milliontonsofriceperyear.句意：據(jù)估算，現(xiàn)在中國國內(nèi)消費的稻米有大約60%來自袁隆平的雜交水稻品種形成的作物，這些品種（形成的作物）讓中國農(nóng)民每年能夠生產(chǎn)出大約兩億噸稻米。此句的真正主語是從句thatabout60...peryear。因為真正的主語太長，為了避免句子頭重腳輕，所以用形式主語it。英語中還有許多類似Itisestimatedthat...

這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)，用來將真正主語后置。如：Itissaid/believed/reportedthat...domestic

在句中作形容詞，表示“國內(nèi)的”。例：domesticflights國內(nèi)航班

domesticpolicy國內(nèi)政策

GDP(grossdomesticproduct)國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值domestic

作形容詞還可以表示“家庭的；家務(wù)事的”。例：domesticviolence家庭暴力Hardworkalwaystakesyourmindoffdomesticproblems.Next,welookatthedomesticeconomicgrowthsituation.Competitionbetweendomesticsandforeignimportsisgrowingfiercer.繁重的工作總使你忘記家庭的問題。其次，我們來看一下國內(nèi)的經(jīng)濟增長情況。國貨與進口貨之間的競爭更加激烈了。

GiventhatYuan’shybridshavemadehimquitewealthy,onemightthinkhewouldretiretoalifeofleisure.However,thisisfarfromthecase.句意：考慮到雜交水稻使袁隆平變得相當(dāng)富有，人們可能認(rèn)為他會退休享受閑適的生活。然而，事實遠(yuǎn)非如此。giventhat

在句中作連詞，意思是“考慮到”。例1：Giventhatthestudentsneedmoreexercise,theheadteacherhasdecidedtoaddmorePEclasses.考慮到學(xué)生們需要更多的鍛煉，校長已決定增加更多體育課。例3：Hisworkisfarfrom(being)satisfactory.

他的工作一點也不令人滿意。given

可用作介詞，表示“只要是；考慮到；假定；已知”等意思。farfromthecase

遠(yuǎn)非如此，也可以說farfrombeingthecase。其中，case表示“情況；情形”。farfromsth

遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不；絕非例2：Givenhisage,heisverystrongandhealthy.

考慮到他的年齡，他可以說是非常健康強壯了。Deepdown,Yuanisstillverymuchafarmeratheart.

句意：實際上，袁隆平在內(nèi)心深處仍然是一位農(nóng)民。deepdown

實際上；在心底例1：Hetriedtobehaveasanadult,butdeepdownhewasstillachild.

他試圖表現(xiàn)得像一個大人，但是內(nèi)心深處他還是一個孩子。verymuch副詞短語，表示“非常；確實是”。在文中表示程度，起強調(diào)作用，可以不用翻譯出來。例2：Kindnessisverymuchapartofhercharacter.

善良是她性格中一個重要部分。Completethesentenceswiththecorrectformsofthewordsfromthetext.Thec_____________ofapersonarethespecialqualitiesthatmakehimorherdifferentfromothers.Scientistsfromdifferentcountrieshavebeenpursuingvariouspossibilitiestoovercomefoods__________.Manyofusa______thatearthquakeswouldneverhappeninourarea.Withmoreandmorefarmmachinesbeingusedinthefields,thec____________offuelhasbeenincreasing.haracteristicshortagessumeonsumptionCompletethesentenceswiththecorrectformsofthewordsfromthetext.Newspapersshouldpaylessattentiontomediac___________andmoreattentiontoournationalheroes.Ourgeneralmanagertriedhisbesttohelpovercomethedifficultieswewerefacingduringthefinancialc__________.Mymotherisveryc___________andfindsithardtoacceptthemodernlifestylethatIenjoy.Thegovernmenthasdecidedtoboosttheprogrammetog________morenewjobs.elebritiesrisisonventionalenerateCompletethenewsreportbelowwiththecorrectformsofthewordsandphrasesinthebox.
