第171句:
"United 93" is the first feature film to deal explicitly with the events of September 11, 2001, and is certain to ignite an emotional debate.
《93号航班》是第一部内容直指9-11事件的故事片,必然会掀起一场情感上的激辩。
六级词汇讲解:
本句是个简单句,主语是“United 93”,两个并列的谓语都是is,第一个不定式to deal explicitly with the events of September 11,2001作film的定语,第二个不定式to ignite an emotional debate则作形容词certain的补语。
feature film意为“故事片”。 explicitly意为“明确地,明白地”。如:
The minister stated explicitly our foreign policy.
部长明确地阐述了我们的外交政策。
ignite意为“引发,激起”。如:
The case has ignited a nationwide debate.
这一案例已经引发了全国性的争议。
