①Income inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one.② Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides, and decrease opportunities to cross them--- especially for young people.③ The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed: those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.
句子切分:
第一句:
1. Income inequality usually falls during a recession,
2. but it has not shrunk in this one.
翻译解析:通常,在经济衰退时期(状语前置)收入差距会缩小,但是这次却没有。
第二句:
1. Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides, and decrease opportunities to cross them
2. --- especially for young people.
翻译解析:事实上,这一次的经济疲软可能会加剧阶级分化,缓和的机会也会减少——对年轻人来说更是如此。
第三句:
1. The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist in Columbia University, suggests
2. that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed:
3. those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times;
4. it is the masses beneath them that are left behind. (强调句)
翻译解析:哥伦比亚大学经济学家Till Von Watcher的研究表明,不是所有在萧条时期毕业的人都把自己的生活机会看得很渺茫,那些从名牌大学毕业的人能够很快赶上,占据他本该拥有的职位(增词),恰恰是普通大众被落在后面。
动词及短语(重点):
shrink-shrunk:收缩,使缩小;注意下该词的过去形式;
reinforce:加强,加固;force力量;in在。。里面,re反复,反复在里面增加力量,所以这个词延伸出来表示加强,增强;
catch up:赶上,追上;
leave A behind:把A超过;A落后;
suggest:该词在真题中用来表示暗示的义项被频繁用到,翻译成认为;重点考试义项;
其他相关词汇:
inequality(不平等性)-equivalent(相应的事物,相等的事物;2011-3文中出现过)-equation(影响因素;综合体);2017年text4):这三个单词是真题中出现的与equ-相关比较难的单词,可以多注意下;
divide(s):该词在这里用作名词,表示差异,区分;还考察过相关如division表示分配以及undivided单一的,完整的这两个形式;
dim(模糊的,暗淡的)-dimmed
elite:该单词也是真题高频词汇,精英,精英的;
masses:该词虽简单,但有个两个重点义项:第一表示大众,民众;第二表示大量;
beneath-under-below真题中,这几个单词都可以用来表示在什么之下;
