205: spike

 

今天我们要学的词是spike。Spike做为名词,有大幅度上升的意思,demand spike,就是需求的猛增,sales spike,就是销售的上涨。最近,美国开车上班的人又开始叫苦连天。这是因为, "We have seen a big price spike at the pump." 意思是最近油价涨得非常厉害。

最新数据显示,美国的暴力犯罪连续第二年上涨。美国司法部认为,"Increased violence among teenagers appears to have contributed to a nationwide crime spike," 意思是说青少年暴力行为的上升造成了全国犯罪数量的增加。好,今天我们学习的词儿是spike...




  

206 odds

 

今天我们要学的词是odds。Odds是可能性的意思。"The odds are very much in the home team's favor," 就是说主场球队胜利的机会很大。很多人都幻想着中彩票发大财,可是"What are the odds to win the lottery?" 中彩的机会又有多大呢?

我们还可以说"against the odds," 就是说困难重重。美国参议院星期一开始讨论一项极具争议的移民议案。美联社报道说,即使议案在参议院勉强获得通过,"the measure would face long odds in the House," 意思是这项议案在众议院也会遇到很大的阻力。好,今天我们学习的词儿是odds...


 

207: controversy

 

今天我们要学的词是controversy。Controversy的意思是争论、争议。"Spark a controversy,"就是引起争议。"Resolve the controversy,"就是解决争端。拟议兴建的高速公路在当地引起了争议,可以说"The proposed highway ignited a controversy in the local community."

世界银行行长沃尔福威茨上星期宣布辞职。媒体报道说, "World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz will resign next month, ending a month-long controversy," 意思是说沃尔福威茨宣布下个月离职,结束了长达一个月的争议。好,今天我们学习的词儿是controversy...
