①内容分析
为什么今天的句子有两句话呢?因为需要结合第二句话,第一句话的意思才能更明确。
第一句话的每个词都很简单,但是语焉不详。
China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market.
中国不再是普通的市场;在很多方面它已经变成了市场
“no longer 不再”作为副词短语,表示现在的情况与之前相比发生了改变。
“in many senses 在很多方面”,就等同于“in every aspects 在各个方面”,也就是中文的成语“方方面面”,用来表示范围涵盖的全面性。
这句话里的理解重点是“just another”,another表示“另外某一个”,不指代任何特定的对象,所以就多了一层“没什么特色的、普通的”含义。比如:
He is just another student.
他就是个普通的学生。
This is not just another task, so please keep concentrated.
这不是随随便便一个普通的任务,所以请保持注意力集中。
分号前后的转折逻辑也能帮助你把这个句子读明白。中国不再是普通的市场了,那么变成了什么呢?当然是变成了不普通的市场,也就是有可圈可点的地方了、有自己的特色了、变得举足轻重了,这就是句子里“has become the market”的含义。
说到这里,各位能否明白这句话的关键就是:
just another market VS the market
其实就是不确定的“another”和确定的“the”这二者的区别。我给各位设计一个听力场景,希望你能更好地理解这两个词的作用。
W: I've never told these to another person.
M: Maybe I am not just another person. I am the person.
Question: What relationship will they probably develop?
A. Boyfriend and girlfriend.
B. Teacher and student.
C. Boss and Secretary.
言归正传,中国变成了什么样的市场呢?有什么特色呢?这就需要第二句话解释具体细节了。
If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China
如果今天你谈论时尚,你在谈论的就是中国
一句话概括:fashion today = China。今天的时尚就是中国,中国就是今天时尚的代名词。
那么在谈论的是什么
