15. You are the talk of the town and the pride of our class now.
點睛
此句中的the talk屬于口語中動詞活用成名詞的現(xiàn)象，意為“談?wù)摰脑掝}”，這種用法在口語中很常見。釋義時，只要在原詞意思的基礎(chǔ)上稍加變動，使其符合在句中的搭配就可以了。如：
1) There is talk of bankruptcy. 有傳聞?wù)f要破產(chǎn)。
2) He has much talk but no action. 他說了一大堆空話而無實際行動。
3) His threats were just talk. 他的恫嚇只不過是說說罷了。
考點歸納
pride在本句中是名詞，意為“驕傲”。在口語中，pride還可作為動詞使用，意為“使得意，使自豪；使（自己）沉迷于快樂或滿意的感覺之中”，表達為pride sb. on sth.。如：I pride myself on this beautiful garden. 我為這個美麗的花園而自豪。
另外，pride的形容詞是proud，其用法是be proud of sth.或be proud that。如：
1) He is proud of his daughter's ability to speak four languages. 他為女兒能說四種語言而驕傲。
2) She was so proud that her son has so much talent. 兒子這么有天賦令她喜不自勝。
