7. Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority.
點(diǎn)睛
雖然句首提到thanks表示感謝,但but之后的內(nèi)容才是應(yīng)關(guān)注的重點(diǎn),其中in view of意為“鑒于,由于,考慮到”,其后所接的內(nèi)容往往是聽(tīng)力的考點(diǎn)所在。definitely意為“明確地,確切地”。minority意為“少數(shù)”,與之相反的則是majority“多數(shù)”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
口語(yǔ)中與view有關(guān)的常見(jiàn)短語(yǔ)有:
have sth. in view意為“心中有……打算(或目的)”。如:
He wanted to find a job, but had nothing particular in view. 他想找份工作,可沒(méi)什么具體的打算。
on view意為“在展出,在陳列”。如:
Her paintings were on view at the new gallery. 她的畫作在那家新畫廊中展出了。
with a view to (doing) sth. 意為“為了,指望”。如:
They bought the cottage with a view to moving there when they retired. 他們買那座小屋是為了退休后搬過(guò)去住。
聽(tīng)音解惑
but⌒in[b?t⌒in]里的[t]與[i]相鄰,讀作[b? tin];and⌒I[ænd⌒ai]里的[d]與[ai]相鄰,讀作[æn dai]。
