①内容分析
这次的两句话,最核心的结构是需要各位认识“on the contrary 相反地”这个短语,这个短语作为正反两方对比的标志,让这两个句子里的部分一一对应了起来。
Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth.
Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.
我们分开部分逐一对应来看。
对应一:主语
Resilient people who think positively
坚韧不拔积极思考的人
VS
Pessimists
悲观主义者
我们在上次的文章里讲到过“people who ……样的人”这样的定语从句补充描述应该如何理解。也许你不认识“resilient 坚韧不拔的”或者“pessimist 悲观主义者”,但是只要你知道第一句话里的人是“积极思考的”,那么相反的另一方就一定是“不积极思考的”,think和positively绝对是考试里必然考察的核心词汇。
对应二:谓语和宾语
tend to treat every problem as
倾向于把每个问题当作
tend to perceive problems as
倾向于把每个问题视作
这个部分的对应里陌生的词汇只有“perceive 认为 感知”这一个。而如果你能够看出来前后两句话的对应关系,这里的perceive就等同于前一句话的treat。两种截然相反的人,看待问题当然也是截然相反的态度。
“tend to do sth 倾向于做某事”,“treat A as B 把A当作B”,这些是必须认识的动词短语。
另外补充一下:-ceive结尾的动词,变成名词是-ception。在高考阶段需要各位重点注意的就是这三个词:
receive - reception 接收
perceive - perception 感知
deceive - deception 欺骗
对应三:补充部分
a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth.
一个挑战、一个任何种类改善的机会、或一个个人成长的机会
VS
a source of additional stress.
一个额外压力的来源
在积极思考的人看来,即便是problem问题也有各种积极的意义,challenge挑战和chance/opportunity机会并存,而且在迎接挑战解决问题的过程中,你得到的就是improvement提升和growth
