47. Do you understand why the local people are opposed to the new dam up the river?
點(diǎn)睛
why引導(dǎo)的是understand的賓語從句,因此應(yīng)采用陳述句語序,這種看似疑問句套疑問句的句式在聽力中要格外留意,避免理解錯(cuò)誤。local意為“當(dāng)?shù)氐?rdquo;。be opposed to此處意為“強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
在口語中表示“反對(duì)”的單詞或短語主要有:
oppose作動(dòng)詞,意為“反對(duì);阻止”,相對(duì)正式,暗含“采取行動(dòng)以阻止”的意味。如:
The reintroduction of the death penalty was opposed by the public. 公眾強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)恢復(fù)死刑。
He was opposed to the idea of reforming. 他強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)改革這一想法。
be against意為“反對(duì)”,強(qiáng)調(diào)狀態(tài),十分常用。如:
They are all against the proposal. 他們?nèi)挤磳?duì)這一提議。
object to意為“反對(duì),對(duì)……反感”。如:
Why did you object to our proposal? 你為何反對(duì)我們的提議?
