407. When it comes to..., most people believe that...; but other people argue that...
译文当谈论到……问题时,大多数人认为……,但是有些人争论说……
点睛本句是典型的议论文的开头,是表达两种截然对立的观点的句型。when it comes to...后面必须接名词或者动名词,表示“当提及/谈论……时”。如:recycling(回收利用),banning fireworks(禁止燃放烟花爆竹),market economy(市场经济),human right(人权),trade protection(贸易保护)等。本句型应当注意的是:后两个省略号处都有that,其后应接宾语从句,因此在替换的时候应当注意句子结构的完整性。
句型拓展When people talking about saving water, most of them believe that the government should take the major responsibility; others think that people waste water in their daily lives and cause water shortages, and therefore commoners should take the main responsibility. 当人们谈论到节水问题时,大多数人都认为政府应该承担主要责任,而有些人则认为,是老百姓在生活中浪费水而导致了水资源短缺,因而他们应该承担主要责任。
