80. What would you do if you were in my place?
点睛
本句采用了虚拟语气,由主句中的would和条件状语从句中的were可知,此处是对现在情况的虚拟,表示与事实相反或实现的可能性不大。短语in one's place在口语中经常出现,意为“处于某人的境况”。考点归纳
听力中有关place的短语常见的有:in one's place除表示“处于某人的境况”之外,还可意为“代替某人”。如:
The manager asked me to open the conference in his place. 经理让我代替他为本次大会揭幕。
all over the place意为“到处,各处”。如:
Harmless comments are all over the place. 四处可见毫无恶意的评论。
take place意为“发生;举行”。如:
Paris visit will not take place. 巴黎之行不会成行。
take the place of意为“代替,取代”。如:
Nothing can take the place of persistence. 坚持不懈是无可替代的。
