1. 認(rèn)識這個詞(基礎(chǔ)篇)
詞:perpetuate
英英釋義:to make something such as a situation or process continue, especially one that is wrong, unfair, or dangerous
例句:Social media influencers are perpetuating false perceptions of reality.
2. 體會這個詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“perpetuate”是個動詞牵祟,意思是“使(不好的情況)持續(xù)下去”,是個高頻宣渗、地道的詞沾瓦。perpetuate 后面常接表示錯誤觀念囱晴、分歧雀摘、負(fù)面境況的詞涯穷,比如 myth/misconception/division/inequality,我們通過幾個例句學(xué)習(xí)它的用法柱恤。
比如一些網(wǎng)紅會在社交媒體上用漂亮的照片展示他們的生活有多么美好数初,他們的關(guān)注者們可能會因此越來越看不清現(xiàn)實:
Some influencers on social media are always perpetuating false perceptions of reality.
許多英語教育機構(gòu)利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)營銷,其中有些廣告和營銷手段往往會加深學(xué)習(xí)者對英語學(xué)習(xí)的誤區(qū)梗顺,讓學(xué)習(xí)者更焦慮:
Some marketing gimmicks and promotions tend to perpetuate misconceptions and anxiety about English learning.
最后看幾個《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》中出現(xiàn)的 perpetuate:
1) Teenage pregnancy perpetuates the cycle of poverty.
2) The hukou perpetuates a rigid caste system.
3) Private education also perpetuates disadvantage and exclusion.(說到私立教育的負(fù)面影響時就可以用這句話)
3. 從認(rèn)識到會用(作業(yè))
1)翻譯下面的句子:
私立學(xué)校因持續(xù)助長特權(quán)而受到批評泡孩。
Private schools are criticized because of perpetuating privilege.
造句

(參考翻譯: Private schools are criticized for perpetuating privilege.)
