29. My husband has been transferred to Boston and I understand your company has an opening there, too.
點(diǎn)睛
transfer此處意為“(工作)調(diào)動(dòng)”。understand此處應(yīng)理解為“了解到”,其后的賓語從句說明了解到的具體內(nèi)容,同時(shí)也是聽音的關(guān)鍵所在。opening在句中意為“空缺的職位”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
名詞opening的常見含義還有:
“洞;缺口;通路”。如:
There were several openings to the cave. 去往這個(gè)洞穴有幾條通路。
“開張,啟用”。如:
They came to celebrate the opening of the new cinema. 他們來是為了慶祝新影院的開張。
“開始,開端”。如:
The opening of the movie is dull. 這部電影的開頭很無聊。
“良機(jī),機(jī)遇”。如:
Winning the competition was the opening he needed for his own company. 贏得這次比賽是他自己開辦公司的良好契機(jī)。
