⒈O(jiān)f course, advertisers and people...are not content to stimulate emotions and/or plant ideas in our minds.
⑴advertiser廣告商
? ?advisor顧問
⑵與stimulate長得很像的副詞,stimultaneously"同時地"坑填。
⑶[plant ideas in our mind]plant這里是動詞"(使思想弛姜、信念等)植根于"的意思,"to make sb think or believe sth,especially without them realizing that you gave them the idea",詞組:plant sth in sth
plant也是一個用法挺多的詞苍在。
作名詞時,①植物寂恬,②工廠;發(fā)電廠酷鸦,③(不可數(shù))工業(yè)用的大型機器牙咏、設備,④內線妄壶、臥底。
作動詞時氨淌,①種植伊磺、播種,plant+植物"種某植物"屑埋;plant sth (with+植物)"在某地種某植物"。②安放。③(秘密地)放置即寡,安置(為了把它藏起來)。④栽贓莺丑,詞組:plant sth (on sb)"給某人栽贓某物"墩蔓。⑤使臥底,安插(密探)奸披,詞組:plant sb (in sth), eg. He was an America spy planted in Africa during the war.⑥文中的意思。
⒉Before long, it becomes indistinguishable from ideas (developed through careful thought).
⑴括號里的是定從轻局。
⑵before long 不久之后
? ?long before 很久以前
可以這樣記憶:[before long]before 的第一個輔音字母b讀起來有那么一丟丟像"不",所以這個詞組就是"不久之后"仑扑。[long before]就直譯就好镇饮,long 久椭盏,before 前,很久之前键科。

括號里的是定從棺滞。
⒌Many years ago, Harry A. Overstreet noted that "a climate of opinion,like a physical climate,is so pervasive a thing that those (who live within it and know no other) take it for granted."
