1. 這是個(gè)什么詞享甸?
詞:fare
英英釋義:to perform in a specified way in a particular situation or over a particular period
例句:As a company less than one year old, we fared reasonably well last year.
2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞绵疲?
“fare”可以作名詞也可以作動(dòng)詞糜芳,作名詞最常見的意思是“票價(jià)”焚挠。作動(dòng)詞的意思是“進(jìn)行闺兢、表現(xiàn)”卤妒,比如我們說一個(gè)人或一家公司過得怎么樣息尺,除了用 do域庇,perform 等詞嵌戈,還可以用 fare覆积。這個(gè)意思雖然簡單,用法也很單一熟呛,但卻是很多英語學(xué)習(xí)者很少能想得起的地道用法宽档。fare 后面一般接 well, badly, better, poorly 這樣的副詞。我們來看幾個(gè)例句庵朝。
好友 Mark 昨天剛參加了谷歌的面試吗冤,不知道結(jié)果怎么樣,就可以說:
I wonder how Mark fared in the interview at Google yesterday.
作為一家成立不到一年的公司九府,我們?nèi)ツ旮傻眠€不錯(cuò)椎瘟,就可以說:
As a company less than one year old, we fared reasonably well last year.
滴滴的順風(fēng)車業(yè)務(wù)不是特別順,后來居然關(guān)閉了侄旬,我們就可以說:
The carpool operation of Didi fared badly and was, to many's surprise, shut down.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》最近一篇文章寫的是芝加哥市的發(fā)展肺蔚,它的摘要中就出現(xiàn)了 fare:
How America’s third-biggest city fared under its abrasive, energetic mayor.
前不久《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在一篇討論職業(yè)足球經(jīng)理人的表現(xiàn)時(shí)用到了 fare。為了更好地理解帶 fare 的句子勾怒,我們附上整個(gè)段落:
Conversely, Carlo Ancelotti has squandered resources. Although he has led the team with the best players in its league in eight of his past 12 seasons, he has won only three titles in that time. A top-league player who fared so poorly would have lost his job. But the market for coaches is inefficient. Mr Ancelotti keeps getting hired—perhaps because employers over-weight his three Champions League trophies, which required a much smaller number of wins.
怎么樣婆排?這個(gè)詞簡單、實(shí)用又很地道吧笔链?How did your week fare? Hope you have had a wonderful week.
3. 怎樣學(xué)會(huì)使用這個(gè)詞段只?
1)翻譯下面的句子:
John 上周末才考完雅思,我還不知道他考的怎么樣鉴扫。
I wonder how John fared in his IELTS exam last weekends.
(參考翻譯:I wonder how John fared in his IELTS last weekend. 或 It remains unclear how John fared in his IELTS last weekend.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活赞枕、學(xué)習(xí)、工作坪创、興趣等炕婶,想象在什么語境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)。先簡要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景莱预,再造句柠掂。
例子: With full preparation, I fared reasonably in a job interview yesterday.
場(chǎng)景 :因?yàn)闇?zhǔn)備充分,我昨天在工作面試中表現(xiàn)得還不錯(cuò)依沮。
