66. This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well.
點(diǎn)睛
短語give clue to意為“給出有關(guān)……的提示、線索”，其中名詞clue意為“線索，提示”，一般應(yīng)與介詞to連用，to引導(dǎo)的內(nèi)容往往是聽力的關(guān)鍵。短語sooner or later意為“遲早，早晚有一天”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
由sooner構(gòu)成的短語常在口語中出現(xiàn)，常見的有：
no sooner...than...意為“一……就……，剛……就……”。如：
No sooner had I walked in the door than the phone rang. 我剛走進(jìn)房門，電話就響了。
the sooner, the better意為“越快越好”。如：
"When shall I finish the project?" "The sooner, the better." “我該什么時(shí)候完成這個(gè)項(xiàng)目呢？”“越快越好。”
sooner rather than later意為“趕早不趕晚，及早”。如：
I'd like to see it done sooner rather than later. 我希望看到事情及早解決。
