    译文

    点睛

    本句是一个简单句。

    in the long run为固定短语,意为“从长远来看”。如:

    In the long run, what they have sacrificed for their children is worthwhile. 从长远来看,他们为孩子作出的牺牲是值得的。

    与此形式十分相近的in the long term是介词短语,表示“在长期内;从长远观点来看”。如:

    This regulation will be valid in the long term. 这一规定长期有效。

    本句中的pay off意为“偿清(欠款等)”。如:

    It took them three years to pay off the debt. 他们用了三年时间才还清欠债。

    考点归纳

    与pay有关的短语还有:

    pay up意为“还清(欠款等)”。如:

    I'll take you to court unless you pay up immediately. 除非你马上还清欠款,否则我要起诉你。

    pay back意为“偿付;还击”。如:

    He will pay back the money in monthly installments. 他将按月以分期付款的方式偿还。

    He paid her kindness back with blows. 他以拳头回报她的好意。

    pay attention to意为“留意”。如:
