ALTERNATIVE
1. 英英釋義：something that you can choose instead of something else ? ??
例句：Equipped with best-in-class delivery networks, JD.com has become a popular?alternative?to Taobao.com. ? ?
2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞？?? ?
“alternative” 既是形容詞也是名詞，今天我們學(xué)習(xí)它的名詞用法渤涌。作為名詞赖阻，alternative 表示“可供替代的”羊苟，是個(gè)可以用在口語(yǔ)和寫(xiě)作中乘盖，讓表達(dá)更加簡(jiǎn)潔的單詞。我們想表示“選擇”時(shí)多柑，除了“choice” “option”外论衍，很多時(shí)候還可以使用 alternative恒水。 ? ?
比如對(duì)有些人來(lái)說(shuō)，除了在淘寶上購(gòu)物外饲齐，還會(huì)因?yàn)榫〇|物流快而在京東上買(mǎi)東西，我們就可以說(shuō)：Equipped with best-in-class delivery networks, JD.com has become a popular alternative to Taobao.com.?
要注意咧最，alternative 后常接介詞 to捂人，A is an alternative to B，就是說(shuō)“A 是 B 的替代品” “代替 B 做法的另一做法（A）”矢沿。 ? ?
和我們前面學(xué)習(xí)的 panacea 一樣滥搭，在說(shuō)到問(wèn)題的解決方案時(shí)，就可以用到 alternative捣鲸。比如在寫(xiě)教育話題時(shí)瑟匆，我們想表達(dá)為了滿足不同的學(xué)習(xí)需求，學(xué)校除了提供實(shí)體課堂外栽惶，還應(yīng)該為學(xué)生提供更多的選擇愁溜，就可以說(shuō)： ? ?To cater to various learning needs, schools should offer students more alternatives, say online courses, to classes delivered on campus. ? ??
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》曾在一篇文章中引用過(guò)葡萄牙總理 Antonio Costa 的一句話： ?“We showed that there is an alternative to ‘There is no alternative,’” says Mr Costa. ? ??
“別無(wú)選擇”的英文可以說(shuō)成“There is no alternative”。 當(dāng)我們認(rèn)為別無(wú)選擇的時(shí)候外厂，可以試著鼓勵(lì)自己說(shuō)一句：There is always an alternative to “There is no alternative”冕象。 ? ? ? ??
個(gè)人拓展：
Alternative側(cè)重兩者之間的選擇，二者任選其一汁蝶，或兩者相互排斥渐扮，非此即彼
