六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是Katsue Reynolds has argued that...。that girls...in schools and Out是that引导的宾语从句,作argue的宾语;其中,in order to...in schools and out是不定式作目的状语。
assertive的意思是“肯定的;坚定而自信的”。如:
She stated her opinion in an assertive tone of voice in the meeting.她在会上以一种坚定自信的语气表达了自己的意见。
compete with的意思是“与……竞争”。如:
The committee encourages the athletes to compete with each other on the basis of equality and fairness.大会鼓励运动员们在平等公平的基础上竞争。
in schools and out的意思是“在学校内外”。
六级考点归纳:
宾语从句的时态呼应。
若主句的谓语动词是一般现在时或一般将来时,则从句的谓语动词应根据上下文选用适当的时态。
若主句的谓语动词用一般过去时,则从句的谓语动词一般只能用表示过去的某种时态;但当宾语从句表示科学真理或客观事实时,即使主句的谓语动词为过去时,从句的谓语动词仍用一般现在时。如:
1)She said she had been back for two days.
她说她已经回来两天了。(主句为过去时态,宾语从句用表示过去的某种时态)
2)The teacher said light travels much faster than sound.
老师说,光比声音传播得快得多。(宾语从句的内容为科学真理)
