第262句:
But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to rlrltend doesn't come down merely to dollars and cents.
但这些变化迥异的学费表明,选择上哪所大学,归根结底并不仅仅是钱的问题。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是a look...reveals that...。其中,that引导的宾语从句that the choice...dollars and cents作reveal的宾语。介宾结构about which college to attend作定语,修饰the choice。
dollars and cents本义指“美元和美分”,在此引申为“金钱;纯经济”。短语come down to在句中意为“归结起来,说到底”,此外还有“屈尊做某事,沦落为”之意。如:
The jobless had come down to begging.
这个失业者已经沦为乞丐。
