364. But a review of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at protecting themselves from guaranteed threats.
但对过去一年的灾难史的回顾表明,现代美国人极不善于保护自己免受特定威胁的侵害。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是.a review...suggests that...。其中,modern Americans are particularly bad at protecting themselves from guaranteed threats是that引导的宾语从句。
review的意思是“回顾”,常用短语a review of意为“对……进行回顾”。如:
a review ofthe year's sport
(对全年的体育活动进行回顾)。
protect sb. from sth.的意思是“保护某人不受某事的侵害”。如:
The shady trees can protect you from the burning rays of the sun.
树荫可以保护你不被炙热的阳光灼伤。
英语六级考点归纳:
suggest后接宾语从句有两种情况:
一是当suggest表示“提议,建议”时,其后接的宾语从句应用虚拟语气,动词形式为“should+动词原形”。如:
I suggested that we should finish the project in two months.
我建议,在两个月内完成这项工程。
二是当suggest意为“表明”时,从句不用虚拟语气。如:
The accident suggests that they dislike each other.
这起事故表明,他们不喜欢彼此。
