〔正〕For the latest couple of years the tertiary industry in our country has been developing very fast.
注:“第一产业”是the primary industry,“第二产业”是the secondary industry,但“第三产业”不是the third industry,而是the tertiary industry。其实tertiary与third是同义的,都是“第三”的意思,这样用只是约定俗成。另外,“第三产业”还可以说成the service industry,因为第三产业主要是指服务业。 7. 适当保持低调是维护好的公众形象的窍门。
〔误〕To keep an adequately low tone is a tip to maintain good public impression.
〔正〕To be adequately low-keyed is a tip to maintain good public impression.
注:tone指“音调“或“口气“,是实指。如:She always speaks with a rising tone.(她讲话总是用升调)。而这里的“低调”是“不张扬”的意思,应用low-keyed 或low-key。如:The wedding is a very low-key affair/The wedding is very low-keyed.
