場(chǎng)景:屢教不改 該談?wù)劻?/p>
例句:Mindful of her little mistakes frequently-made recently, I decide to have a chat with my daughter. Breathe!
詞:mindful
英英釋義:remembering a particular rule or fact and thinking about it when you are making decisions about what to do
“mindful”是形容詞,意思是“記著的伍俘、留神的”霹期,后面接介詞 of 或 that 從句芳撒。當(dāng)我們想表達(dá)“考慮到......”“知道或意識(shí)到......”的時(shí)候就可以用這個(gè)詞。mindful 偏正式巩掺,可以在寫作中使用,替換“with X in mind”和“realizing X”。我們來通過幾個(gè)例句來吃透這個(gè)單詞的用法洼畅。
? ? 考慮到路況不佳,Eric 把車速降到了每小時(shí) 20 英里棚赔,就可以說:
1. With the poor road conditions in mind, Eric reduced his speed to 20 mph.
? ? 這個(gè)時(shí)候就可以用 mindful of the poor road conditions 替換 with the poor road conditions in mind:
? Eric was mindful of the poor road conditions and reduced his speed to 20 mph.
還可以用 mindful that... 改寫:
Eric was mindful that the road conditions were poor and reduced his speed to 20 mph.
不過帝簇,這兩句話還可以寫得更簡(jiǎn)潔、更優(yōu)雅:
2. Mindful of the poor road conditions, Eric reduced his speed to 20 mph.
如果 mindful of 后面接的內(nèi)容過長靠益,則可以優(yōu)先使用 mindful that...丧肴。比如:
3. Some European politicians are increasingly mindful that young voters are turning away from traditional parties.
mindful 還是奧巴馬在演講中非常喜歡的單詞,比如他在第一次總統(tǒng)就職典禮上第一句中就用到了:
4. I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you've bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.
humbled by, grateful for, mindful of 整齊胧后、簡(jiǎn)潔芋浮、有力,非常講究的開頭句壳快,值得學(xué)習(xí)纸巷。
