154. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue.
譯文
對(duì)于經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家而言,婦女的教育問題可能并不是個(gè)熟悉的領(lǐng)域,但實(shí)際上,加強(qiáng)婦女對(duì)于社會(huì)發(fā)展的貢獻(xiàn)既是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)問題,也是社會(huì)問題。
點(diǎn)睛
本句為復(fù)合句,由but連接兩個(gè)具有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的簡單句women's education may be unusual territory for economists和enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue。
enhance意為“提高”。如:
He made many efforts to enhance his reputation. 他作了許多努力來提高自己的聲譽(yù)。
contribution意為“貢獻(xiàn)”。如:
He minimized the value of her contribution to his research so that he got all the praise. 他極力貶低她在他研究中作出的貢獻(xiàn),以獨(dú)攬全部獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。
考點(diǎn)歸納
unusual,uncommon,rare都可以譯為“不平常的”,三者的區(qū)別在于:
unusual意為“不平常的;異常的”,強(qiáng)調(diào)與正常的狀態(tài)不同。如:
Snow is an unusual sight in this warm place. 在這個(gè)暖和的地方下雪是一種罕見的景象。
uncommon意為“不凡的;罕有的”,強(qiáng)調(diào)事件發(fā)生的頻率低。如:
It is not uncommon for parents to put a newborn in a separate room. 父母把新生兒放在單獨(dú)的房間里的情況并不罕見。
rare意為“罕見的;珍貴的”,可以強(qiáng)調(diào)事件發(fā)生的頻率低,也常與animal等連用,表示“珍稀的(動(dòng)物)”。如:
A collector of rare insects will show us some of his latest discoveries. 一位稀有昆蟲收藏家將給我們展示一些他的最新發(fā)現(xiàn)。
