1.United Nations aid agencies say millions of survivors of Haiti's catastrophic earthquake are in urgent need of tents and food.
in need of需要,急需…
例句:The brickwork in this house is in need of repair.
这所房子的砖造部分需要修理。
need前面加上形容词ugent表示修饰,急切需要
2.It says only a fraction of the required tents are in the country.
a fraction of一小部分的
例句:The story does not contain a fraction of truth.
这故事没有一点真实性。
He has done only a fraction of his homework.
他只做了家庭作业的一小部分。
3.In the same order of importance is the need for food.
In the same order of importance同等重要。order表示顺序,也就是说,如果按照重要性进行排序的话,两者是同样的,换句话说,就是同等重要的。
4.Given the enormous needs, she says her agency is making plans to expand its humanitarian operations beyond the six months for which it is budgeted.
given与provided意思一样,表示“如果有……,则……”,
但两者的区别是provided后面只能跟that引导从句,而不能跟名词或名词性短语。而given后既可跟从句,又可跟名词性短语。
5. The United Nations is urging donors to convert all pledges into much needed cash in the near future.
in the near future在不久的将来
例句:I have no plans to visit her in the near future.
近期内我不打算去看她。
in the future表示将来,in future表示今后。
