47. Do you understand why the local people are opposed to the new dam up the river?
點(diǎn)睛
why引導(dǎo)的是understand的賓語(yǔ)從句，因此應(yīng)采用陳述句語(yǔ)序，這種看似疑問(wèn)句套疑問(wèn)句的句式在聽力中要格外留意，避免理解錯(cuò)誤。local意為“當(dāng)?shù)氐?rdquo;。be opposed to此處意為“強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
在口語(yǔ)中表示“反對(duì)”的單詞或短語(yǔ)主要有：
oppose作動(dòng)詞，意為“反對(duì)；阻止”，相對(duì)正式，暗含“采取行動(dòng)以阻止”的意味。如：
The reintroduction of the death penalty was opposed by the public. 公眾強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)恢復(fù)死刑。
He was opposed to the idea of reforming. 他強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)改革這一想法。
be against意為“反對(duì)”，強(qiáng)調(diào)狀態(tài)，十分常用。如：
They are all against the proposal. 他們?nèi)挤磳?duì)這一提議。
object to意為“反對(duì)，對(duì)……反感”。如：
Why did you object to our proposal? 你為何反對(duì)我們的提議？

dam⌒up［dæm⌒?p］里的［m］與［?］相鄰，讀作［dæ m?p］。
