英语每日一句:at least

时间: 陈响897 分享

  As I write this, Hurricane Irma has flattened the Caribbean islands, killed at least 10 people and is barrelling towards south Florida.

  【全句解释】

  就在我写这些文字之时,飓风厄玛已将加勒比群岛夷为平地,造成至少10人身亡,此时此刻它正朝着佛罗里达州南部飞奔过去。

  【词语】

  【注释】

  ①连词as+时间状语从句:就在......之时。Hurricane Irma...是“主句”部分。

  ②at least+数字+名词:至少......的“名词”

  ③people:人们。【注】在表示“人们”时,people本身就是“复数”;“单数person /ˈpɜː(r)s(ə)n/”,表示:人。

  ④为了避免重复,killed at least 10 people的前面省略了Hurricane Irma has。

  ⑤为了避免重复,is barrelling towards south Florida.的前面省略了Hurricane Irma。

  ⑥本句借用“拟人”的手法,运用flattened(将......夷为平地),killed(致死)和barrelling towards(正朝......飞奔过去)这三组词语将飓风刻画得惟妙惟肖。
