84.It protects you from minor and major medical expenses that can wipe out not only your savings but your dreams of an education abroad.
四級詞匯講解:
短語protect sb. from…意為“保護某人免受……”;wipe out此處意為“徹底消滅,去除”,是本句的聽力難點。not only…but…意為“不僅……而且……”,but之后還可加上also。
英語四級考點歸納:
wipe out除了意為“徹底消滅,去除”外,還有以下含義:
※ “跌倒,翻跌下來”。如:
He wiped out wile skiing and broke his ankle.他滑雪時跌倒了,摔斷了踝骨。
※ wipe sb. out意為“使某人疲憊不堪”,被動語態be wiped out表示“疲憊不堪的”。如:
The heat really wipes me up.炎熱真是讓我筋疲力盡。
After a day's hard work, he was wiped out.辛苦工作了一天,他疲憊不堪。
