15. You are the talk of the town and the pride of our class now.

四級詞匯講解:

此句中的the talk屬于口語中動詞活用成名詞的現象，意為“談論的話題”，這種用法在口語中很常見。釋義時，只要在原詞意思的基礎上稍加變動，使其符合在句中的搭配就可以了。如:

1 ) There is talk of bankruptcy.有傳聞說要破產。
2 ) He has much talk but no action.他說了一大堆空話而無實際行動。
3 ) His threats were just talk.他的恫嚇只不過是說說罷了。

英語四級考點歸納:

※ pride在本句中是名詞，意為“驕傲”。在口語中，pride還可作為動詞使用，意為“使得意，使自豪;使(自己)沉迷于快樂或滿意的感覺之中”，表達為 pride sb. on sth.。如:I pride myself on this beautiful garden.我為這個美麗的花園而自豪。

※ 另外，pride的形容詞是proud ,其用法是be proud of sth.或be proud that。
如:1 ) He is proud of his daughter's ability to speak four languages.他為女兒能說四 種語言而驕傲。
2 ) She was so proud that her son has so much talent。兒子這么有天賦令她喜不自勝。
