2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 （進(jìn)階篇）? ?
“caliber”是個(gè)不可數(shù)名詞邻寿，最常見的意思是“質(zhì)量”蔫磨，也常常用來表示“素質(zhì)”。我們常澄滤悖可以用它來替換常見的 quality她肯，是個(gè)在口語和寫作中都會(huì)讓人眼前一亮的實(shí)用表達(dá)佳头。? ?
Justin 老師在英文隨筆中就多次用到了 caliber。比如在用英文吐槽《紐約客》的訂閱體驗(yàn)時(shí)他寫道：? ?

Justin 老師在描寫瑞幸咖啡的高品質(zhì)標(biāo)簽時(shí)寫道：? ?
It boasts three major highlights: premium Arabica coffee beans, recipes devised by award-winning baristas, and fresh brewing, all signs of high caliber.? ?
我們平時(shí)說的“高質(zhì)量”“高素質(zhì)”就是“high caliber”晴氨，口語之中想說“教學(xué)質(zhì)量非常高”就可以說成：? ?
The caliber of teaching at this high school is very high.? ?
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中也經(jīng)常使用 caliber康嘉，比如：? ?
Our aim is not to predict the winner in Russia, which can be done best by looking at a team's recent results or the calibre of its squad. （要注意 caliber 的英式寫法是 calibre。這里的 calibre of its squad 指的是這個(gè)足球隊(duì)的素質(zhì)）?
Regardless of family income, a graduate from one of the Ivy League-calibre institutions, has roughly a two-thirds chance of making it into the top 20%.? ?
我們可以從這句話中學(xué)到 caliber 的靈活用法籽前，Ivy League-calibre 指的是“有常春藤級別質(zhì)量的”亭珍。句中的 20% 指的是社會(huì)地位最高的 20%。? ?
3. 從認(rèn)識到會(huì)用（作業(yè)）? ?

（參考翻譯: Many young people in under-developed areas still have a huge thirst for a high caliber education. 或者 A high caliber education remains desirable for many youngsters in backward regions.）? ?
2）結(jié)合自己的生活肄梨、學(xué)習(xí)、工作膘格、興趣等峭范，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)場景瘪贱，再造句纱控。? ?
