单词 | 投票者 |
释义 | 〔negative〕"As voters get to know his liberal views, his negatives will rise"(Richard M. Nixon)"I'm known for being very forthright and honest in my opinions. If that's a negative, it's a negative"(Kitty Dukakis)“当投票者开始了解他的自由派言论后,他的消极之处便会显露出来”(理查德M.尼克松)“我因发表见解正直且诚实而闻名,如果那也是缺点的话,它就是一个缺点”(基蒂·杜卡基斯)〔majority〕When it refers to a group of persons or things that are in the majority,it may take either a singular or plural verb,depending on whether the group is considered as a whole or as a set of people considered individually.So we sayThe majority elects (not elect ) the candidate it wants (not they want ), since the election is accomplished by the group as a whole;butThe majority of the voters live (not lives ) in the city, since living in the city is something that each voter does individually. ·Majority is often preceded by great (but not by greater ) in expressing emphatically the sense of "most of": 当它是指处于多数地位的一组人或事物时,其动词既可以用单数也可以用复数,取决于把这个集体当作一个整体来看待还是当作个别的人的组合。所以我们说大多数人选举了 (不用 elect ) 他们所想要的候选人 (不用 they want ), 因为选举是由一个作为整体的群体所完成的;但是大多数投票者住在 (不用 lives ) 市区, 因为住在城市里是每个投票人作为个人所做的事情。Majority 的前面往往加一个 great (但是不加 greater ), 用来强调指出“大多数”的含义: 〔nonvoter〕A person who does not vote or has no right to vote.不投票者:不投票或无权投票者〔cynical〕a cynical distrust of friendly strangers; a cynical view of the average voter's intelligence.对和善的陌生人轻蔑的不信任;对每个投票者的智力表示轻视的看法〔vote〕A group of voters alike in some way:选民,选区:在某些方面的相同的一组投票者:〔bandwagon〕young voters jumping onto the party's bandwagon.转而支持胜利在望的候选党的年轻投票者 |
