NECCS 2020.7.27

1.Some bacteria are extremely harmful, but others are regularly used in producing cheeses, crackers(薄脆饼干) and many other foods.
①bacteria 是细菌bacterium的复数形式 ②others表示“其他的，别的一些”， the others 表示“其他所有的”
2.Other things being equal(表达一种条件，且为主动), a man who expresses himself effectively is sure to succeed more rapidly than a man whose command of language is poor.
在其他条件相同的情况下，一个有效表达自己的人肯定会比一个语言不好的人成功得多。
考查独立主格结构。独立主格由名词或者代词加上分词构成，表时间、原因、条件、伴随、目的及状态等，在句中作状语，主动用现在分词，被动用过去分词。
3.True patriotism (爱国主义) relies on putting the interests of one’s country above everything, including one’s own life.
真正的爱国主义依赖于把国家的利益置于一切之上，包括自己的生命。
4.Libraries have reference books by which you can check out a physician’s educational background, training and other credentials.
图书馆有参考书。在书中可以查看医生的教育背景，培训情况和其他凭证。
考查介词+定语从句引导词的用法。介词后面的定语从句引导词只能用which不能用that，本句which指代前面的 reference book，使用介词by 表示“靠，用，通过”，相当于 you can check out a physician’s educational background, training and other credentials by the reference books.
5.The term BRIC was first coined(创造，杜撰（新词等）) by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill in a research paper, in which BRIC stands for Brazil, Russia, India and China.
"金砖四国"一词是由高盛经济学家吉姆.奥尼尔在一份研究报告中首先提出的，BRIC四个字母分别代表巴西、俄罗斯、印度和中国。
in which 为定语从句， which 指代 term
6.Had Dickens foreseen that his novel would cause such a disturbance(骚动)， he would not have written it.
如果狄更斯预见到他的小说会引起这样的骚动，他当初就不会写这本小说了。
==虚拟语气： 省略了if 动词提前形成倒装句，是与过去事实相反的假设，主句使用would not have done ==
e.g. Your brother would certainly have attended the proceedings had he not had a flat tire.
如果不是瘪胎，你的兄弟肯定会出席诉讼。
不用 if the flat tire hadn’t happened 或者 had the tire not flattened itself 是因为将轮胎作为主语的表达少见。
7. In my opinion, all these special offers are there to tempt people into buying things they don’t really want.
在我看来，所有这些优惠都是为了诱惑人们购买他们不想要的东西。
==tempt sb. into doing sth. 诱使某人做某事 ==
8.My approach is not to learn everything about something, but instead to learn something about evergthing.
我的方法不是要学习某个领域的所有知识，而是什么东西都要学一点。
instead 做副词表示“而是”， instead of 表示“不是”
rather than 与 instead of 的用法类似，but 与 rather搭配较少使用。
9.The members of the Board of Directors agree that chief attention should be paid to what can bring in the highest profit.
董事会成员一致同意，应主要关注能够带来最高利润的事务。
pay attention to 表示“关注”， attention 放在句首作为被动句的主语，意思不变
10.Only when you have acquired a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary can you write fluently.
只有当你掌握了很好的语法和词汇知识时，才能流利地写作。
副词only+状语放在句首时句子的倒装语序：句子需要倒装，且为不完全倒装，例如：“only after you finish your homework can you go home”
11.——Would you mind… 你介意…?
——Yes, I do. 我介意。
——No, of course not, not at all. 不介意。
