英語六級-完形語法關鍵句341. Intellectual property is protected from m

341. Intellectual property is protected from misappropriation.

譯文　知識產(chǎn)權是用來防止盜用的。

點睛　本句是一個被動句式，句首的短語intellectual property意為“知識產(chǎn)權”。misappropriation意為“盜用；侵吞”。be protected from意為“保護……免受……”，是protect...from的被動形式。如：

Most of the parents will try their best to protect their kids from being hurt. 大多數(shù)的家長都會盡力保護他們的孩子免受傷害。

考點歸納　與be protected from近義的短語還有：be prevented from、be stopped from、be kept from、be discouraged from等。這些短語都有“防止、避免、阻止……”的意思。如：

The waters should be prevented from being polluted. 我們應該盡力保護該水域免受污染。

China's population must be stopped from growing more and more rapidly. 中國人口的快速增長必須被控制住。
