第222句:
As an example of what's going on, consider U.S. Bancorp,which was recent sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minne80ta.
作為現在正在發生的事情的例子,考慮一下最近被明尼蘇達州以欺詐行為起訴的美國合眾銀行。
六級詞匯講解:
本句中,as引導伴隨狀語;which引導定語從句,修飾U.S. Bancorp。U.S. Bancorp即“美國合眾銀行”,其中Bancorp為bank和corporation的合成。sue意為“起訴;控告”,常用于sue sb. for sth.這一搭配。如:
I'll sue you for libel.
我要以誹謗罪控告你。
六級考點歸納:
