424. On the contrary, to achieve the greatest chances for success, much emphasis should be put on education -- everyone should strive to get as much education as possible.
相反,要确保成功,教育应该受到重视:每个人都应该努力争取更多的教育机会。
六级词汇讲解:
on the contrary为表示转折关系的介词短语,不定式to achieve...作句子的目的状语,主句所使用的被动语态成功地避免了人称代词或有生命的名词做主语,凸显了英语句子的结构。put/lay/place/impose emphasis on sth.意为强调某事物。 strive to do/for/after sth.的意思是“努力做某事”。as十形容词+as possible表示“尽可能”。如:as soon as possible(尽快)。
