13. I really can't stand the way David controls the conversation all the time.
點睛
本句的聽力難點在于對stand的理解,stand一般作“站立”講,而此處stand意為“忍受,容忍”。David controls the conversation all the time為way的定語從句,其中all the time意為“一直,向來”。
考點歸納
聽力中常見的有關(guān)time的短語還有:
ahead of time意為“提前”。如:
You should prepare ahead of time for your interview. 你應(yīng)該為面試提前作準(zhǔn)備。
at no time意為“永不,在任何時候都不”。如:
At no time will I give up my dreams. 我永遠不會放棄我的夢想。
at one time意為“一度;從前”。如:
At one time, the turkey and the bald eagle were each considered as the national symbol of America. 火雞和白頭鷹都曾一度被看做是美國的國家象征。
at the same time意為“同時”。如:
Don't all speak at the same time. 大家不要同時說話。
at times意為“偶爾,不時”。如:
Dad admits he still smokes at times. 爸爸承認他偶爾還是會抽煙。
