英語六級攻克閱讀關(guān)鍵句271. Obviously, there's a tremendous differenc

271. Obviously, there's a tremendous difference between getting rid of possessions and losing them through a natural disaster without having a say in the matter.

譯文　顯然，主動扔掉一些財物與在自然災(zāi)難中被迫失去財物有著巨大的區(qū)別。

點(diǎn)睛　本句的主干是...there's a...difference...。between后面是兩個由and連接的動名詞短語作賓語，分別是getting rid of possessions和losing them...；介詞短語without...作方式狀語。

tremendous意為“極大的，驚人的”。如：

These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds. 這些猛漲的水流以極快的速度沖上岸邊。

get rid of意為“除去，去掉”。如：

I will go swimming to get rid of my spare tyre. 我要去游泳，以減掉腰部的脂肪。

have a say意為“有發(fā)言權(quán)”。如：

As a member of our group, I have a say in this discussion. 作為我們小組的一員，我在本次討論中有發(fā)言權(quán)。

考點(diǎn)歸納　say作名詞時，意為“發(fā)言權(quán)，意見”，常見的短語還有：

have one's say意為“把想法說出來”。如：

The professor is trying to have his say on financial crisis. 教授正試著把他對金融危機(jī)的想法說出來。

have no say in sth. 意為“對某事沒有發(fā)言權(quán)”。如：

Some children have no say in their future. 有些孩子對自己的未來沒有發(fā)言權(quán)。

say one's say意為“說出要說的話，暢所欲言”。如：

Why didn't you just say your say at the meeting? 你們在會議上為何不暢所欲言呢？

give one his say意為“讓人把話講出來”。如：

It's your program; we'll give you your say. 這是你的節(jié)目，我們想讓你說說自己的想法。
