341. Intellectual property is protected from misappropriation.

译文　知识产权是用来防止盗用的。

点睛　本句是一个被动句式，句首的短语intellectual property意为“知识产权”。misappropriation意为“盗用；侵吞”。be protected from意为“保护……免受……”，是protect...from的被动形式。如：

Most of the parents will try their best to protect their kids from being hurt. 大多数的家长都会尽力保护他们的孩子免受伤害。

考点归纳　与be protected from近义的短语还有：be prevented from、be stopped from、be kept from、be discouraged from等。这些短语都有“防止、避免、阻止……”的意思。如：

The waters should be prevented from being polluted. 我们应该尽力保护该水域免受污染。

China's population must be stopped from growing more and more rapidly. 中国人口的快速增长必须被控制住。
