1. 這是個(gè)什么詞必尼?
詞:jeopardize
英英釋義:put (someone or something) into a situation in which there is a danger of loss, harm, or failure
例句:The scandal that involved Liu Qiangdong, CEO of JD, seriously jeopardized the company's interests.
2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞篡撵?
“jeopardize”是動(dòng)詞判莉,意思是“危及、損害育谬、影響”券盅,是一個(gè)出現(xiàn)頻率甚高的動(dòng)詞。它可以替換 hurt, endanger, put something at risk 等詞斑司,后面一般接 chances, interests, ability, future, safety 等詞渗饮。我們來看幾個(gè)例句。
去年的劉強(qiáng)東事件嚴(yán)重?fù)p害了京東的利益宿刮,我們就可以這么表達(dá):
The scandal that involved Liu Qiangdong, CEO of JD, seriously jeopardized the company's interests.
類似的互站,很多政客緋聞纏身,都會(huì)影響到他們的再次當(dāng)選僵缺,就可以說:
Scandals could severely jeopardize politicians' chances of being re-elected.
這家公司如果無法正常發(fā)貨胡桃,就可能會(huì)影響到它的生意,就可以說:
Any failure of delivery could potentially jeopardize the company's ability to do business.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》最近在一篇關(guān)于核武器控制的文章中用到了 jeopardize:
The task for America and NATO is to meet the Russian challenge without triggering an arms race that would split the alliance and jeopardise what is left of global arms control.
在另一篇討論世界銀行行長(zhǎng)人選的文章中磕潮,《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》再一次用到了這個(gè)詞:
The bank’s shareholders must also know that, if they were to reject Mr Malpass, Mr Trump could turn violently against the institution. That would scupper the chances of America’s Congress ratifying the agreed capital increase. It would also jeopardise future American contributions to the World Bank’s fund for helping the neediest countries.
注意翠胰,這段話第二句中的“scupper (the chances)”和第三句中的“jeopardise”是同義詞,都表示“危及自脯、損害”之景。不過 scupper 出現(xiàn)的頻率遠(yuǎn)低于 jeopardise,我們只需要認(rèn)識(shí)即可膏潮。
3. 怎樣學(xué)會(huì)使用這個(gè)詞锻狗?
1)翻譯下面的句子:
如果這次司法考試如果不及格,就會(huì)影響到她的職業(yè)前景焕参。
(參考翻譯:Failing the law exam could potentially jeopardize her professional prospects.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活轻纪、學(xué)習(xí)、工作叠纷、興趣等刻帚,想象在什么語(yǔ)境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景涩嚣,再造句崇众。
?場(chǎng)景 1:這個(gè)時(shí)候掂僵,失去這份工作,可能會(huì)危機(jī)我的整個(gè)未來發(fā)展校摩。
造句:Losing this job ?at this time could jeopardize my whole future development看峻。
場(chǎng)景2:如果你還是一直熬夜,就會(huì)危機(jī)你的健康衙吩。
造句:If you keep staying up, it may jeopardize your health.?
