阅读导评
有人戏言 Survival of the prettiest , Good looks are a woman s most fungible asset 。可我们也不要忘了 Beauty is only skin-deep 。我们欣赏的不仅是女人的美貌, 更重要的是内在的智慧、气质和修养。如今无论哪种场合, 鲜有美女不现身的, 当美女被当作纯粹花瓶或摆设, 或干脆是性欲对象时,那么美女们的悲哀也就近在咫尺了。
阅读讲解:
1. 注意这句话的前半个倒装句。正常的句子顺序是 What you will say about the liberties ... 。 liberties 后面省略了 that 。take liberties with sb. or sth. 意思是 放肆, 随意 , 如: She told him to stop taking liberties. The film take considerable liberties with the novel on which it is based.
2. stradivari 斯特拉迪瓦里, 意大利提琴制造家, 在型号和种类上颇多创新, 制作过大提琴、中提琴、小提琴和吉他, 其制造的小提琴成为后世的楷模。exorcism n. 驱除邪魔, 用魔法招魂。这句话的字面意思是: 迫使斯特拉迪瓦里都要订制符咒驱妖了。
3. prowl v. 小心地悄悄移动, 如: wild animals prowling in the forest ;burglars prowling in the grounds of the house 。prowl, skulk,lurk, slink, sneak 这几个词都有 人或动物为免受注意而做出的缓慢而无声的动作 的意思, 但用法上还是有区别。prowl 指野兽觅食或罪犯伺机行动, 如: Wolves prowled the forest in search of prey. skulk 指含怒或含罪恶目的窥伺可乘之机, 如: He skulked around outside until the police had gone. slink 通常含有 垂头 之意, 如: The dog slunk off to lick its wounds. sneak in / out 指偷偷摸摸做坏事, 但还够不上犯罪, 如: She was caught sneaking into the show without paying.
