「Note」
1. go through 这个词组有很多意思,今天我们来了解其中的几种:
a ) To examine carefully 仔细查看,审查(对话中就是这个意思~ )
eg: go through the students' papers检查学生的试卷
b ) To experience; to suffer经历,遭受eg: go through many wars
经历很多战争 go through tremendous pain 遭受巨大痛苦
c ) To be approved or accepted 被通过,被接受eg: The amendment went
through.修订案被通过了。
d ) To consume ; exhaust用完,耗尽eg: We went through our supplies
in a day. 我们一天就把供给品用完了。
2.对话中的 due的意思是“预定,约定,预期”,相当于 scheduled, arranged,
expected等,常用“be due to + 动词”的形式。
而我们知道due 还有个介词短语叫due to,它的后面是接名词或代词,表示
“应归于,应属于,应给予”,相当于 caused by sb/sth 或者 because of sb/sth.
例如:Her absence is due to illness.她因病缺席。
The game has been cancelled due to frost. 比赛因雾而取消。
3. count是个很好用的单词,除了有我们熟知的“数数”的意思外,它还能
表达(sth ) be of value or importance“某样东西有价值,有重要性”。例
如:Her opinion counts because of her experience. 因为她有经验,所以她
的意见很重要。
We've only a few bullets left , so make each one count.我们只剩几
颗子弹了,因此要弹不虚发。(此句中的 make each one count就是指 use it
effectively )
