2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞韧衣?
“durable”是形容詞版述,意思是“耐用的志衣、持久的”。這個(gè)詞一般多用來(lái)形容能多次使用赂苗、壽命較長(zhǎng)的商品,如電視機(jī)正蛙、電冰箱绅作、音響、電腦等骤竹;有時(shí)候還可以用它來(lái)形容品牌帝牡、公司和關(guān)系等。如果是前者蒙揣,我們可以用它來(lái)替換 tough 和 sturdy靶溜;如果是修飾環(huán)境,我們可以用它來(lái)替換 lasting懒震。下面我們通過(guò)幾個(gè)例子掌握它的用法罩息。
GoPro 以生產(chǎn)便攜、耐用的照相機(jī)而出名挎狸,可以說(shuō):
GoPro is known for its portable and durable cameras.
Vans 的鞋子非常耐穿扣汪,如果保養(yǎng)好的話,一雙鞋穿 4-5 年沒(méi)問(wèn)題锨匆,可以說(shuō):
Vans shoes are so durable that, if maintained well, a pair can last for four to five years.
在北京王府井步行街逛一趟崭别,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一些有年頭的品牌冬筒,可以說(shuō):
Walk around Wangfujing Street and you will find quite a few durable brands.
下面來(lái)看《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中的幾個(gè)例子:
1)Democracies have proved more durable than Plato imagined.(這里的 durable 可以用 long-lasting, lasting 等詞替換)
2)Shipping second-hand clothes off to countries in Africa and Asia is also a bust. Even if local markets are large enough to absorb them, the poorer quality of polyester-mixed garbs means they do not survive long. More durable apparel could help.(這里的 durable 可以用 tough, sturdy 等詞替換)
3)Germany is the world's largest goods exporter after China despite high labour costs and a strongish euro. It is also stuffed full of durable companies that have survived hyperinflation and two world wars. (這里的 durable 可以用 long-lasting, lasting 等詞替換)
3. 怎樣學(xué)會(huì)使用這個(gè)詞?
1)翻譯下面的句子:豐田凱美瑞普遍被認(rèn)為是世界上最結(jié)實(shí)耐用的車子茅主。
(參考翻譯:Toyota Camry is widely considered the most durable car in the world.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活舞痰、學(xué)習(xí)、工作诀姚、興趣等响牛,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)景赫段,再造句呀打。
