47. Do you understand why the local people are opposed to the new dam up the river?
點睛
why引導的是understand的賓語從句,因此應采用陳述句語序,這種看似疑問句套疑問句的句式在聽力中要格外留意,避免理解錯誤。local意為“當?shù)氐?rdquo;。be opposed to此處意為“強烈反對”。
考點歸納
在口語中表示“反對”的單詞或短語主要有:
oppose作動詞,意為“反對;阻止”,相對正式,暗含“采取行動以阻止”的意味。如:
The reintroduction of the death penalty was opposed by the public. 公眾強烈反對恢復死刑。
He was opposed to the idea of reforming. 他強烈反對改革這一想法。
be against意為“反對”,強調(diào)狀態(tài),十分常用。如:
They are all against the proposal. 他們?nèi)挤磳@一提議。
object to意為“反對,對……反感”。如:
Why did you object to our proposal? 你為何反對我們的提議?
聽音解惑
dam⌒up[dæm⌒?p]里的[m]與[?]相鄰,讀作[dæ m?p]。
