145. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap may be "well", in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.
譯文
在這種新的定義之下,只要人們?cè)诿鎸?duì)個(gè)人身體缺陷之時(shí)仍能盡其所能維持健康,就算身患疾病或身有殘疾的人也算是身體好的人。
點(diǎn)睛
本句的主干是people may be "well"。who引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句,修飾people;in this sense為插入語(yǔ);if引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句;條件狀語(yǔ)從句中的they can又是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,修飾health。
handicap既可作名詞,意為“障礙;殘疾;不利條件”;又可作動(dòng)詞,意為“妨礙,使不利”。如:
l) Deafness can be a serious handicap. 耳聾算是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的缺陷。
2) He was handicapped by lack of education. 他因文化水平低而吃了虧。
in the face of意為“面臨;不管”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
well一詞十分常用,用法也很多。包括:
“井;源泉”。如:
The police found the lost treasure in an abandoned well. 警察在一口廢棄的井里找到了丟失的財(cái)寶。
“如泉水般涌出”。如:
Tears welled up in her eyes. 她的淚水奪眶而出。
“充分地”。如:
Read the document well before you sign it. 仔細(xì)審閱文件后再簽字。
“到相當(dāng)?shù)某潭?rdquo;。如:
She was driving at well over the speed limit. 她開車的速度遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了限速。
“徹底地”。如:
The pan must be dried well before you put it away. 這個(gè)鍋必須徹底干燥后才可以收起來(lái)。
