第123期:电话网
Just as the value of a telephone network increases with each new phone added to the system. So does the value of a computer system increase with each program that turns out.
译文:
正如电话网的价值随着系统里新电话的加入而上升一样,电脑系统的价值也随着每项程序的出现而增加。
点睛:
本句中包含比较结构just as...so...,意为“正如…一样,…也…”。第一个with引导的是increases的伴随状语,其中过去分词短语added to...为each new phone的后置定语。第二个with引导的是increase的伴随状语,其中that引导的是以each program为先行词的定语从句。句中so的前置使得助动词does提前,构成了倒装。
考点归纳:
与动词tum相关的常见短语还有:
*turn down调低;拒绝
Mary turned down John's proposal.
玛丽拒绝了约翰的求婚。
*turn over翻身,翻转
The boy tumed over and went to sleep.
男孩转过身就睡着了。
*turn to sb./sth.向某入/某事物寻求帮助/指教
We have nobody we can turn to.
我们求助无门。
