英語六級(jí)-聽力口語關(guān)鍵句10. He wasn't there long, though, because his

10. He wasn't there long, though, because his mother passed away just four years later.

點(diǎn)睛　

though意為“盡管，然而”，此處為插入語，表示語氣的轉(zhuǎn)折，切忌與其后引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句的because混在一起。pass away在句中意為“去世，亡故”。later用在時(shí)間之后通常表示“一段時(shí)間之后”，如：three weeks later三周之后。

考點(diǎn)歸納　

口語中常見的與pass有關(guān)的短語還有：
pass around意為“傳遞；分發(fā)”。如：
This letter is being passed around among the students. 這封信正在學(xué)生中間傳閱。
pass down意為“往下傳，傳給后人”。如：
The knowledge was passed down from one generation to the next. 這些知識(shí)是一代一代傳下來的。
pass out意為“昏迷，失去知覺”。如：
She always passes out at the sight of blood. 她總是一見到血就暈過去。
