【語法用法】

predict意為“預(yù)言”，“預(yù)告”，指將來有可能發(fā)生但是現(xiàn)在尚未發(fā)生的事情，因此謂語時態(tài)要遲一步于主語時態(tài)。

207.a suggestion about/concerning?一項有關(guān)?的建議 208.at sb’s suggestion 按照某人的建議

209.suggestion, advice & opinion這三個詞都可譯作“意見”。suggestion 意為“建議”或“意見”，特指為了改進或解決問題而提出的辦法，常帶有“不一定正確，提出供對方參考”的意味。例如： This is merely a suggestion.211.advice 著重提意見的人比對方（或自認為）有更多的經(jīng)驗知識，因此可用于醫(yī)生給病人的“勸告”，老工人講給新手的“經(jīng)驗之談”等。該詞有時也用得比較廣泛，凡是與己無關(guān)、純粹為了幫助旁人而提出的“意見”都可譯作advice。例如：

例如：For the use of beginners, the book is adequate.226.enough 指“能夠滿足一種欲望或需要”，比較偏重數(shù)量，并可放在所形容的名詞后面。例如：Are there enough apples for everyone? 227.sufficient 具有與enough相同的意思，只是更為正式，并較強調(diào)程度。

228.fall/sink into a decline 開始衰落, 衰弱下去； 體力衰退(尤指因患肺病而衰弱)229.hasten the decline of 加速?的衰退 230.on the decline在下降； 在衰退中
