基礎英語輕松學【59】缺錢花了?上網乞討!
本課您將學到:simply(不是簡單,而是強調),range from sth. to sth.(從到),what if句型
兜里沒錢了,不用愁,有人會把錢送到你家門口。上網乞討吧,天上掉餡餅就是這么容易。
Need to reduce credit card(信用卡) debt(借款)? Desperate(絕望的) for money for music lessons? Simply tired of working and too embarrassed(尷尬) to stand on the corner with a tin cup? Try cyberbegging.
Yahoo started a begging category(目錄) with four sites(網點) in 1996. There are now 51 sites in the category, ranging from some shamelessly(無恥地) looking for cash(現金、錢) to others seeking financial(財政的、金融的) assistance(援助) for loans(貸款) or medical treatments.
這個辦法可行嗎?讓我們來看看受益者的現身說法:
Rich Schmidt, a freelance(自由工作者) music marketer, who was one of the first cyberbeggars, I thought, what if one percent of the Web surfers(網上沖浪者) out there sent me a dollar, Schmidt said. That was the impetus(推動力) for the idea. His site has raised(增加到) more than $4,800 since it was set up about three years ago.
「讀書筆記」
如果您想減少信用卡的欠款額,(Need to reduce credit card debt?)或是因缺錢上不起音樂課,(Desperate for money for music lessons?)而您又工作得太累(Simply tired of working)或覺得站在街上行乞太丟人。(too embarrassed to stand on the corner with a tin cup)不妨試試網上行乞。(Try cyberbegging)
這段中的simply可不是指簡單地,而是起強調的作用,比如別人想出了一個好主意,你就可以這么夸獎他:
What a simply wonderful idea!
真是絕妙的好主意!
當然,在表達否定意思的時候,也可以用simply來強調,比如
This piece of work simply isnt good enough.
這篇作品確實不怎么樣。
雅虎網站早在1996年就為行乞開了一個目錄,(Yahoo started a begging category with four sites in 1996)現在這個目錄已收錄了51個網站,(There are now 51 sites in the category)內容從純粹想要現金到為貸款或醫療服務而融資。(ranging from some shamelessly looking for cash to others seeking financial assistance for loans or medical treatments)
range from A to B意思就是從A到B所有的(包括A和B),它可以指價格、溫度年齡等客觀的東西,
There were 120 students whose ages ranged from 10 to 18.
這有120名年齡在10和18之間的學生。
也可以指人的主觀感覺、行動等,比如:
Their reactions ranged from anger to humiliation.
他們的反應各不相同,有的生氣,也有的覺得羞恥。
自由音樂人Rich Schmidt,(Rich Schmidt, a freelance music marketer)作為第一批網絡乞丐中的一員,(who was one of the first cyberbeggars)說:我當時想,如果上網的人里有1%的人肯給我一美元就好了。(what if one percent of the Web surfers out there sent me a dollar)這個想法就是行動的動力。(That was the impetus for the idea.)自從他的網站建立三年前建立以來,(since it was set up about three years ago)他共討得4800美元。(His site has raised more than $4,800)
「句型留言板」
今天我們要來學一個在口語中非常常用的句型what if
這個句型可以用在兩種情況中:
1、用于提建議,(文中的話就屬于這種情況)比如:
What if we go and see a film tomorrow night?
我們明晚去看電影好嗎?
2、用于詢問將來可能發生的事或面臨的情況,特別是不太好的情況。
在出門旅行的路上,一位太太忽然擔心起家里的安全,就說:
What if we get burgled while were on holiday?
要是我們度假時家里被撬了怎么辦?
今天的基礎英語輕松學,我們講了simply和range from sth. to sth.的用法,還掌握了what if句型。如果你都記住了,那么what if see you next time?
