时间:2020-03-06 来源:文都网校 浏览:何凯文考研英语每日一句开始了。 坚持不易,每日一句kk已经不间断的坚持了八年,希望大家也能坚持下去直至2021考研考试到来。今天给大家带来何凯文考研英语每日一句:第二十七句,是关于“独角兽”。一起来看看吧。
复盘一下何凯文考研英语每日一句第二十六句:
第一句:
The key element we need to survive and thrive in this century will be (主题)
写作考什么就填什么!(NB)
考完的同学,你以后考博也能用啊!出国也能用啊!评职称也能用啊!
第二句:
If we can predict nothing else about the future, we know that it is going to involve a rapidly accelerating pace of change, from the growth of AI to a warming climate.
直接翻译:
如果关于未来我们其他什么都不能预测,我们也知道未来将会涉及到变化的急剧加速的步伐,从人工智能的发展到气候变暖。
改进的翻译:
虽然我们无法预测未来,但我们知道未来的变化步伐将急剧加速,从人工智能的发展到气候变暖,不一而足。
所以翻译是两个步骤:
第一步:英文到正确但不太像中文的中文
第二步:从不太像中文的中文到通顺的意思没有改变的中文。
(第二步很难,你们先到第一步就好了。)
第三句:
Coping with this level of uncertainty will require adaptability and psychological resilience.
应对这个级别的不确定性就需要适应性和心理的韧性。
四个选项只有D符合这个psychological resilience(心理韧性)这个定义。
be able to persist /in the face of unpleasant events
面对不开心的事也能坚持。
请看真题思路:
The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training.
问:The trend might be more clearly seen in sciences such as ________.
[A] sociology and chemistry
[B] physics and psychology
[C] sociology and psychology
[D] physics and chemistry
只有D选项(物理和化学)符合“基于数学和实验室训练”这个定义。
今天的句子:
In November 2013, venture capitalist Aileen Lee published an article coining the term “unicorn” to describe a startup that’s less than a decade old and worth at least $1bn. She chose the word carefully, to convey a mix of rarity and magic power. What Lee seemingly didn’t anticipate was that just a few years later it would have become a misnomer: these days there’s nothing rare about unicorns.
思考题:
At present, the term “unicorn” ___.
A.aptly captures the traits of tech startup
B.has been too overused to be accurate
C.is known to be a chosen word by linguists
D.has been used wrongly by entrepreneurs
分析句子我会用到的颜色:
句子解析:
思考题解析:
A. aptly captures the traits of tech startup
(恰如其分地描述了科技初创公司的特点)
A选项错误。
刚好相反,已经不准确了。
B. has been too overused to be accurate (已经因过度使用而不准确)
B选项正确
对应的就是最后一句:
a misnomer: these days there’s nothing rare about unicorns.
虽然你不认识misnomer
但你应该之后冒号后的内容!也就是不准确了!
虽然你可能觉得overuse 没有对应,但是这个就是**了!
C. is known to be a chosen word by linguist (被认为是语言学家选择的词)
C选项错误。文章也没有谈到
D. has been used wrongly by entrepreneurs (被企业家错误地使用)
D选项错误。文中没有谈到!
文章来源和背景:
For our overhyped, overvalued tech startups, soon the reckoning will come
对于炒作过度、过于高估的科技初创公司来说,清算很快就会到来

背景:“独角兽”一词最早由美国著名投资人艾琳·李用来分类估值10亿美元以上的初创企业。随后这个新概念迅速流行于硅谷,并席卷全球。虽然这个词刚开始带有“稀缺”的意思,但到了现在独角兽企业不再少见,2019年,就有142家新公司达到10亿美元估值的标准,令独角兽的总数膨胀至500家,总体估值2万亿美元。这让“独角兽”一词显得非常不恰当。初创企业的普遍高估值显著表明,目前国际经济又一次进入非理性繁荣。也许对于工资上涨停滞的普通人来说,这听起来有些不可思议。但商业界实际上现金泛滥。在超过一半未偿政府债券负利率的全球背景下,投资者轻而易举地就把钱投给了硅谷那些闪亮的新企业。所以,我们现在常常看到非常荒谬的高估值。
在关注、防范疫情上,请大家保持情绪稳定,积极乐观面对,坚信一切都会好起来,同时希望各位学子能够安心在家学习,后续文都网校考研继续更新2021考研英语:何凯文每日一句。2020,文都网校,与你一路同行!
