第111句:
By capping her grades at 94 while most other teachers grade on a scale that tops out at 100,your teacher could jeopardize a student's chance of getting a scholarship or getting into a top college.
如果你的老師將最高分數定在94分,而其他大多數老師評分范圍的最高分是100分,那么她這樣做可能會危及學生得到獎學金或進人名牌大學的機會。
六級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是…teacher could jeopardize...chance…。句首的介詞短語By capping…是句子的方式狀語,其中while引導的是比較狀語從句,that引導的是scale的定語從句。由or所連接的getting a scholarship和getting into a top college是介詞。f的并列賓語。
1. cap在句子中作動詞,意思是“規定限度”。如:This kind of mortgage is capped.
此類按揭被規定了額度。
2. top out的意思是“以……為頂點;封頂”。如:
Interest rates topped out at 4 percent.利率在百分之四封頂。
3. jeopardize的意思是“使受到傷害、損失;使陷于險境”。如:
The security of the operation has been jeopardized by one careless person.作業安全讓一個粗心大意的人給破壞了。
