【重点单词讲解（含知识点精讲）】

1. procrastinate /prəˈkræstɪneɪt/ v. 拖延；推迟

【原句】 Like Cathy, many of us procrastinate — we put off doing something important until the last moment.

【译文】 像凯茜一样，我们许多人都会拖延——我们把重要的事情推迟到最后一刻。

✦ 知识点讲解

• 词形转换：procrastinate (v.) → procrastination (n. 拖延症)。语篇末句 "overcome procrastination" 即用名词形式。

• 同义替换：procrastinate = put off doing sth.（语篇用破折号后 "put off doing something important" 来解释）。

• 搭配：procrastinate over/on sth.；overcome procrastination。

练1 1. Many students ________ (拖延) when they have a big project. 2. Don't ________ until the last minute.

练2 3. — Why didn't you hand it in? — I ________ (procrastinate) and waited until Sunday night.

2. due /djuː/ adj. 到期的；预期的

【原句】 Cathy knows that she has an essay due on Monday.

【译文】 凯茜知道她有一篇论文周一要交。

✦ 知识点讲解

• 搭配：be due on + 日期（某日到期）；be due to do sth.（预定做某事）。

• 易混：due 修饰名词时常后置，如 an essay due on Monday（周一应交的论文）。

练2 3. The homework ________ on Monday is difficult, so I should start early.

【译文】 一些研究表明，我们拖延是因为负面情绪，比如恐惧或担忧。

✦ 知识点讲解

• 词形：negative (adj.) → negatively (adv.)；反义词 positive。

✦ 知识点讲解

• 核心用法：avoid doing sth.（避免做某事），avoid 后接动名词，不可接不定式（不能说 avoid to do）。

• 语篇逻辑：in order to avoid... 表目的，说明"推迟工作"的动机是"回避负面感受"。

✦ 知识点讲解

• 核心句型：be likely to do sth.（很可能做某事）；比较级 be more likely to do。
