1. 這是個什么詞嘁捷？
詞：reliant
英英釋義：dependent on someone or something
例句：Despite constant conflicts between China and the US, the two countries are heavily reliant on each other.
2. 為什么選這個詞欺抗？
“reliant”是形容詞腮恩，意思是“依賴的”回官。從它的英文釋義也可以看出它和 dependent 是同義詞母谎，是個非常高頻的簡單慨蓝、好用的小詞覆山，幾乎每期《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》中都可以碰到竹伸。 reliant 的用法非常簡單，前面經(jīng)常搭配 heavily 和 overly 這兩個副詞簇宽，后面接 on 或 upon勋篓。下面我們通過幾個例子掌握它的用法。
雖然中美之間經(jīng)常有矛盾魏割，但兩國其實非常依賴彼此譬嚣，我們就可以說：
Despite constant conflicts between China and the US, the two countries are heavily reliant on each other.
一些地區(qū)經(jīng)濟過分依賴某一種資源，我們就可以用 reliant钞它。比如山西依賴煤炭拜银，中東依賴石油：
Because Shanxi is overly reliant upon its coal resources, its economy suffers when demand declines drastically. The Middle East is famously reliant on its oil, but in the past couple of decades, it has tried to diversify its economy.
下面來看《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》中的幾個例子：
1）In 2018 two-thirds of small and medium-sized [British] building firms said they could not find enough bricklayers, carpenters and joiners, in part because they had become overly reliant on importing plumbers from Poland and carpenters from Hungary.
2）Proposition 13, which caps the rate at which property taxes can rise, is why the state is so heavily reliant on personal-income tax.
3）Meanwhile, unlike the former coal-mining areas, which were hopelessly reliant on a single industry, Redcar has long had a more diversified economy, making it easier for ex-steelers to find work than it was for jobless miners a generation ago. (注意 reliant 前面的 hopelessly 這個副詞表示的程度和情緒)
3. 怎樣學(xué)會使用這個詞？
1）翻譯下面的句子：
拼多多主要依賴中小城市的用戶须揣。
Pinduoduo is heavily reliant on users from small and medium-sized cities.
造句
地球上的很多服務(wù)盐股，比如應(yīng)急響應(yīng)，依賴于衛(wèi)星耻卡。
A wide array of services, such as emergency response, are reliant on satellites.
（參考翻譯：Pinduoduo, a Chinese e-commerce startup, is heavily reliant on users in small and medium-sized cities.)
