美國(guó)Flint市的鉛中毒事件到現(xiàn)在一直還沒(méi)有解決。其原因就是之前的老化的水管中含鉛量高,進(jìn)而造成鉛中毒事件飞崖。政府承諾更換所有的水管诫惭,但這需要一筆巨款,所以進(jìn)度一直很慢驯鳖,政府給各家配發(fā)了水龍頭上用的凈水器 ,承諾水是安全的,但是市民不相信嚣崭。而且新?lián)Q的水管,政府也沒(méi)有承諾完全無(wú)鉛懦傍。特斯拉的老總馬斯克帶著他的新舉措準(zhǔn)備幫助Flint的市民雹舀。效果如何?我們拭目以待粗俱。
今天的句子:
It is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that sets lead safety levels for drinking water utilities, although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises there is no safe amount of lead once it gets into the bloodstream.
思考題:
EPA regulates the safety standards for lead in the drinking water.
詞匯突破:
1.lead 鉛 (這個(gè)真的是必考詞匯)
2. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 美國(guó)環(huán)保署
3. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 食品與藥物管理局
4. drinking water utilities 飲用水的公共設(shè)施 (這個(gè)是解題的關(guān)鍵信息)
切分:
1.It is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that sets lead safety levels for drinking water utilities,
2.although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises there is no safe amount of lead once it gets into the bloodstream.
參考譯文:
盡管美國(guó)食品和藥物管理局(FDA)建議说榆,一旦進(jìn)入血液中,就不存在鉛的安全含量這一說(shuō)了寸认,但美國(guó)環(huán)境保護(hù)局(EPA)為飲用水公用設(shè)施設(shè)定了鉛的安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)签财。
思考題:
EPA regulates the safety standards for lead in the drinking water.
其中:regulate 可以等于set;
? ? ? Safety standards= safety level
但是:drinking water ≠drinking water utilitites
所以這個(gè)說(shuō)法是錯(cuò)的!
試想一下:這瓶水含鉛量是安全的偏塞。誰(shuí)也不敢喝啊唱蒸。
頂多說(shuō)這個(gè)水管含鉛是多少,但是不會(huì)到水里去灸叼,是安全的神汹。
這是我模仿昨天的mobile content ≠ mobile 設(shè)計(jì)出來(lái)的一個(gè)題目。
希望能幫到大家怜姿。
明天的句子:
In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.
Mr. McWhorter’s academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of “whom,” for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English.
思考題:
According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English ________.
[A] is inevitable in radical education reforms
[B] is but all too natural in language development
[C] has caused the controversy over the counter-culture
[D] brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s
