47. Yes, the power indicator was on, and it was running, but somehow the sound didn't come through.
點睛
power indicator意為“功率指示計”。come through的意思比較多,如“經(jīng)歷,脫險;傳出;捐助;成功”。在此意為“傳出”。本句中,還需要注意介詞on和副詞somehow的用法。
該句中,on是turned on的意思。介詞on可以跟很多動詞搭配組成短語。如:
come on 加油;get on 上(車、船等);go on 繼續(xù);hold on 別掛斷電話等。
on也可以單獨使用,其意思隨語境變化而有所變化。如:
How do you think I have this necklace on? 我戴這條項鏈你覺得怎么樣?
此外,on還可以與名詞連用,表示“處在……狀態(tài);有關(guān);涉及”。如:
1) The building is on fire. 樓房著火了。
2) My uncle went to Tianjin on business. 我叔叔去天津出差了。
3) I bought a book on gardening. 我買了一本園藝方面的書。
somehow在本句中意為“以某種方式”,相當于in some way or other。如:
Somehow we must get to Glasgow. 我們得設(shè)法去格拉斯哥。
此外,somehow也可以表示“由于未知的或未確指的原因”。如:
Somehow, I don't feel I can trust him. 不知什么緣故,我覺得無法信任他。
考點歸納
與somehow類似的詞還有:
somewhat意為“有點,有些”。如:
Mr. Smith is somewhat particular about the outer man and always dresses neatly. 史密斯先生相當注意自己的外表,總是穿得很整潔。
anyhow意為“隨隨便便地,雜亂無章地”。如:
The books were lying on the shelves just anyhow. 書都雜亂無章地擺放在書架上。
