译文 就是以现在的价格来衡量,一台导航电脑也是相当昂贵的。
点睛 本句的主干是...a navigation computer is impressive。even at current prices为副词性短语作状语,表示状态。
current意为“目前的,现在的”。如:
This word is no longer in current use. 这个词现在已经不再使用。
navigation意为“航行;导航”。如:
Navigation is difficult on this river because of the hidden rocks. 因为河中有暗礁,所以在这条河上航行很困难。
考点归纳 impressive的本义是“使人印象深刻的”,但是在具体语境中,它的含义会有一些变化。如:
The wedding was an impressive affair, with many guests. 婚礼办得很热闹,来宾很多。
It was a big face, impressive, well modeled. 他的面庞很大,五官很端正,使人印象深刻。
