154. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue.
译文
对于经济学家而言,妇女的教育问题可能并不是个熟悉的领域,但实际上,加强妇女对于社会发展的贡献既是经济学问题,也是社会问题。点睛
本句为复合句,由but连接两个具有转折关系的简单句women's education may be unusual territory for economists和enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue。enhance意为“提高”。如:
He made many efforts to enhance his reputation. 他作了许多努力来提高自己的声誉。
contribution意为“贡献”。如:
He minimized the value of her contribution to his research so that he got all the praise. 他极力贬低她在他研究中作出的贡献,以独揽全部奖励。
考点归纳
unusual,uncommon,rare都可以译为“不平常的”,三者的区别在于:unusual意为“不平常的;异常的”,强调与正常的状态不同。如:
Snow is an unusual sight in this warm place. 在这个暖和的地方下雪是一种罕见的景象。
uncommon意为“不凡的;罕有的”,强调事件发生的频率低。如:
It is not uncommon for parents to put a newborn in a separate room. 父母把新生儿放在单独的房间里的情况并不罕见。
rare意为“罕见的;珍贵的”,可以强调事件发生的频率低,也常与animal等连用,表示“珍稀的(动物)”。如:
A collector of rare insects will show us some of his latest discoveries. 一位稀有昆虫收藏家将给我们展示一些他的最新发现。
