自現(xiàn)象級(jí)英語(yǔ)
PROMPT
1. 英英釋義：to cause something to happen or be done
例句：The scandal?prompted?the immediate resignation of the company’s CEO.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 （進(jìn)階篇）
“prompt”可以做名詞、形容詞也可以做動(dòng)詞厦章，今天我們學(xué)習(xí)它的動(dòng)詞用法渣聚。prompt 作為動(dòng)詞表示“促使”“推動(dòng)”“引起”，是個(gè)高頻詞匯蚕断，幾乎每一期的《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中都會(huì)多次用到它。 ? ?
比如丑聞曝光導(dǎo)致一家公司的首席執(zhí)行官立刻辭職，我們就可以說(shuō)：
The scandal prompted the immediate resignation of the company’s CEO.
我們想說(shuō)“某事引發(fā)熱議”時(shí)，這里的“引發(fā)”除了用常見的 cause, lead to 外奈偏，還可以用 prompt，比如：
The mass shooting prompts a heated debate on gun control.
最新一期的《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中就出現(xiàn)了 4 次 prompt 的這種用法躯护，我們看其中兩個(gè)句子：
1）The disastrous drought?prompted?government action to restore the river.
2）An attack by JEM in September 2016 killed 19 Indian soldiers,?prompting?Mr Modi to send special forces across the line of control.
3. 從認(rèn)識(shí)到會(huì)用（作業(yè)）?
翻譯：
失業(yè)率的持續(xù)增加可能會(huì)引發(fā)社會(huì)動(dòng)蕩惊来。(重點(diǎn)：持續(xù)continuous，社會(huì)動(dòng)蕩 social unrest)
The continuous rise in the rate of unemployment may prompt social unrest.?
造句
例1：The marathon event held in Annaka in 1855 prompted a sudden strike from the Shogun. 安中藩的馬拉松賽事引發(fā)幕府的突襲
例2：Her worries over her ears and hearing health have prompted an immediate purchase of a pair of expensive earphones. 擔(dān)心聽力受損棺滞，促使她迅速下單裁蚁，買了天價(jià)耳機(jī)?

個(gè)人拓展：
