●解释
*doctorofphilosophyin:在..领域获得博士学位.注意介词in.doctor有2个意思,一个是哲学,一个是医生.
*history:历史,形容词是historic,顺便把地理也记住;geography
*anthropology:人类学.看这个单词有好多嘴巴.人最重要的事就是关注人类.1976年诺贝尔文学奖获得者索尔·贝娄(saulbellow)学的就是人类学.在老索的影响下,我差点报考人类学.后来填报志愿的时候,我老爸大喝一声:你报anthopology,以后只能喝西北风.我不得不痛苦的填报了其他专业.
*worstofall:最糟糕的是
*runrisk:承担风险.run是一个很重要的动词,经常在4级考到.
*overeducated:拆开来就是over+educated,意思是受教育过多
*nationaldemands:国家需求
*demandandneed:这2个词是同义词,但是在这里是有区别的,need比demand更加迫切.
*mindyou:口语里经常使用,意思:我要告诉你,提醒你.
*thousandsof:成千上万.hundredsof:成百上千.注意phd后小小的s,表示复数.
*waitingontable:指的是做waiter,boy,waitressorbarattendant之类的工作
*fillout:填表,在英国也用fillin,作者意思为了寻找工作,月月要填很多工作申请表,
*application:这里指的是工作申请表.另外要记住applyfor申请.
*backwatercollege:后水大学.有一个乐队叫backstreetboy.后街男孩,实际上就是来自穷街.所以戴上back帽子的,就是比较差点.那么中文里没有后水大学,就只能翻译成二,三流大学.不能翻成下流大学哦.heihei.后水大学是安迪老师首创翻译,10年以后风靡全国.
*muchlessthan:少的多,如:imademuchlessmoneythaniusedto.(我现在赚钱比以前少多了.)
*janitor:doorkeeper门卫.博士毕业赚的money还不如janitor.以后每一次经过大学的校门,看见门卫就是janitor,这也是记单词的窍门,记忆单词,可以无所不在.
*earn:makemoney.meanstogainespeciallyfortheperformanceofservice,labor,orworketc.
*equate:equal的动词形式.
*levelofincome:收入水平,levelofeducation:教育水平
*grossnationalproduct:gnp,国民生产总值.
*youcanequatethelevelofincomewiththelevelofeducationonlysofar.farenough,thatis,tomakeyouusefultothegrossnationalproduct,butnotsofarthatnobodycanturnmuchofaprofitonyou.你的收入水平和教育水平只能平衡到此为止,或者最多你对国民国生产总值有点贡献,但是还没有到人们从你出获得利益的程度.
