The? Wind? Wings
Goldmund - Sometimes
這是“讀外刊，學(xué)英文句型”欄目的第七期孽查，關(guān)于該欄目第一期的說明可以見如何通過閱讀外刊積累英文寫作句型饥悴？
1. 說比做簡單
在解決類方案的寫作里面我們有時(shí)候需要表達(dá)一種這樣的情況：批評……很容易，但是要真正做點(diǎn)什么很難盲再。用英文應(yīng)該怎么說呢西设？可以參考下面的這一句式：
Obstacles on the internet, just like barriers to trade, are easy to decry but hard to prevent.
這句話的意思是“設(shè)立在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的障礙就像貿(mào)易壁壘一樣，要抨擊它很容易答朋，但要防止它很難”贷揽。其中decry的意思是“譴責(zé)，抨擊”（to say publicly that you do not approve of someone or something）它的意思要比criticize更重梦碗。
從這里我們可以提取出一個(gè)句式：something is easy to decry but hard to prevent禽绪，它可以用于說明某些不好的現(xiàn)象（比如環(huán)境污染蓖救、食品安全、交通堵塞等）很容易批評印屁，但很難阻止循捺。舉個(gè)例子：
Traffic congestion in big cities is easy to decry but hard to prevent. As household income rises, a growing number of city dwellers are willing and able to afford private cars, which will cause more traffic problems in the foreseeable future.
2.后視鏡看歷史
下面的句子出自The Economist關(guān)于金融的一篇文章：
Any adjustments to pension liabilities should be justified by beliefs about the future and not by looking in the rearview mirror to see what gilt yields used to be.
上面這句話的大意是“任何對養(yǎng)老金負(fù)債的調(diào)整都應(yīng)該基于對未來的信念，而不是基于歷史上債券收益率的情況”雄人。其中有一個(gè)很有意思的表達(dá)：look in the rearview mirror to do something从橘，rearview mirror是指汽車的后視鏡，開車時(shí)看后視鏡可以清楚后方的情況柠衍，這里則采用了它的引申義：通過借鑒過去的情況來決定做某事洋满。
該句型可以用在一些涉及今昔對比的情形中，例如：
Today’s labor market is much more complicated than in the past, as technological advances are destroying and creating jobs at an unprecedented rate. In light of this, it would be imprudent to look in the rearview mirror to see what a so-called stable job used to be.
3.某觀點(diǎn)站不住腳
要表達(dá)“某觀點(diǎn)/陳述/論證站不住腳”珍坊，最常見的說法是something is groundless/baseless牺勾，除此之外，還可以使用下面這一說法：
Most important, there is full confidence in the central bank and the rupee. Reserves are healthy and the Bank of Mauritius is clean. Yet the worries of Mauritian businessmen are not entirely unfounded. The island's success has been partly built on protected trade deals in textiles and sugar with America and Europe.
其中the worries of Mauritian businessmen are not entirely unfounded意思是“毛里求斯商人的擔(dān)憂并非完全沒有根據(jù)”阵漏，unfounded含義是“沒有事實(shí)根據(jù)的”（not supported with facts or evidence）驻民。
由此我們可以提取出一個(gè)句型：something is entirely unfounded，它可以用來說明觀點(diǎn)履怯、消息回还、論證等沒有根據(jù)，站不住腳叹洲。舉個(gè)例子柠硕，有這樣一道雅思作文題：
Individuals can do nothing to protect the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
如果你想完全反對題目中的觀點(diǎn)，就可以說：
The claim that only governments and large companies can protect the environment is entirely unfounded. Individuals also play an important role in environmental protection.
4.一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折句型
下面這一句型出自《衛(wèi)報(bào)》一篇關(guān)于兒童虐待的文章：
The council's defence has been that no one could have protected against deceitful carers and parents. But closer scrutiny of the case reveals that Baby P's bruising stopped when he was removed for a short while from his abusers. It would not have been overly cautious to have put two and two together.
第二句的大意是“但是經(jīng)過更細(xì)致的檢查后發(fā)現(xiàn)嬰兒P身上的淤青在他被帶離虐童犯不久后就不再增加了”运提，其中close scrutiny of…reveals that…是一個(gè)常見的論證句型蝗柔，它可以用來說明接下來要揭示的情況與之前人們認(rèn)為的不同，借此引出新的觀點(diǎn)民泵。
還是以一道雅思作文題目作為例子：
Foreign tourists should be charged higher fees than local people to visit cultural places and historical sites. Do you agree or disagree with this statement.
如果你持反對觀點(diǎn)癣丧，可以這樣說：
Some people argue that foreign tourists to cultural places and historical sites should be charged more than locals, as local people already pay to these sites through the tax system. However, close scrutiny of this claim reveals that such an approach is at best short-sighted, at worst counterproductive. Foreign tourists contribute to the economy of the host country not only by paying entrance fees to cultural and historical sites, but also by spending on a wide range of goods and services, including transportation, food and accommodation. The money they spend could be a boon to local businesses, the prosperity of which helps to create jobs for local residents.
總結(jié)：
這期一共介紹了以下幾個(gè)表達(dá)：
(1) something is easy to decry but hard to prevent
(2) look in the rearview mirror to do something
(3) something is entirely unfounded
(4) close scrutiny of…reveals that…
