第173句：

Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americants view Mexico-as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorerlocals can't afford to join the merrymaking.

現在，很顯然歐洲人看待美國就像美國人看待墨西哥一樣，認為它是一個廉價的度假、購物和狂歡勝地，一直都忽略了比較貧窮的本土居民無力加入這種狂歡的事實。

六級詞匯講解:

本句的主干是...Europeans...view the U.S.．。the way many Americans view Mexico作主句的方式狀語，破折號后as引導的短語as a cheap place to vacation，shop and party則作U.S.的賓語補足語。while引導的是主句的時間狀語，that引導的是fact的同位語從句。

apparently意為“顯然地”。如：

Apparently the girls are not scared by the situation.

很顯然，女孩們并沒有因為這種情況而被嚇著。

ignore意為“忽略，忽視”。如：

Maria said her husband ignored her.

瑪麗亞說丈夫忽視了她。

afford意為“負擔得起”，該詞還含有“提供，給予”之意。如：

The meeting afforded much useful information.

本次會議提供了許多有用的信息。

六級考點歸納：

“連詞+現在分詞”作狀語的情況總結。

while、when、before、although、unless等連詞引導的狀語從句的主語與主句的主語一致時，可以簡化為v．+ -ing形式作狀語，但通常要保留原連詞，形成“連詞+現在分詞”結構。如：

Although having nothing to do here, we can't leave.=Although we have nothing to do here, we can't leave.

雖然我們在這里無事可做，但不能離開。

My dad glanced over the newspaper while having breakfast.=My dad glanced over the newspaper while he had breakfast.

我爸爸邊吃早餐邊瀏覽報紙。

Some people get nervous when speaking in public.=Some people get nervous when they speak in public.

有的人當眾講話時就變得很緊張。

Wash your hands before eating your breakfast.=Wash your hands before you eat your breakfast.

Retum the book to the library after reading it.=Retum the book to the library after you read it．

Though working day and night, we still could not finish our job.=Though we worked day and night, we still could not finish our job.
