84. It protects you from minor and major medical expenses that can wipe out not only your savings but your dreams of an education abroad.
點(diǎn)睛
短語(yǔ)protect sb. from...意為“保護(hù)某人免受…… ”；wipe out此處意為“徹底消滅，去除”，是本句的聽(tīng)力難點(diǎn)。not only...but...意為“不僅……而且……”，but之后還可加上also。
考點(diǎn)歸納
wipe out除了意為“徹底消滅，去除”外，還有以下含義：
“跌倒，翻跌下來(lái)”。如：
He wiped out while skiing and broke his ankle. 他滑雪時(shí)跌倒了，摔斷了踝骨。
wipe sb. out意為“使某人疲憊不堪”，被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)be wiped out表示“疲憊不堪的”。如：
The heat really wipes me up. 炎熱真是讓我筋疲力盡。
After a day's hard work, he was wiped out. 辛苦工作了一天，他疲憊不堪。
