271. Obviously, there's a tremendous difference between getting rid of possessions and losing them through a natural disaster without having a say in the matter.

譯文　顯然，主動(dòng)扔掉一些財(cái)物與在自然災(zāi)難中被迫失去財(cái)物有著巨大的區(qū)別。

點(diǎn)睛　本句的主干是...there's a...difference...。between后面是兩個(gè)由and連接的動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)作賓語(yǔ)，分別是getting rid of possessions和losing them...；介詞短語(yǔ)without...作方式狀語(yǔ)。

tremendous意為“極大的，驚人的”。如：

These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds. 這些猛漲的水流以極快的速度沖上岸邊。

get rid of意為“除去，去掉”。如：

I will go swimming to get rid of my spare tyre. 我要去游泳，以減掉腰部的脂肪。

have a say意為“有發(fā)言權(quán)”。如：

As a member of our group, I have a say in this discussion. 作為我們小組的一員，我在本次討論中有發(fā)言權(quán)。

考點(diǎn)歸納　say作名詞時(shí)，意為“發(fā)言權(quán)，意見(jiàn)”，常見(jiàn)的短語(yǔ)還有：
