280. If, for example, you are getting hit with overdraft fees, you need to establish a barrier that you absolutely will not dip below (even if it means paying a bill late).
译文 举例来说,如果你即将透支,你必须建立一个不会透支的屏障(即使那会延误你支付账单的时间)。
点睛 本句的主干是...you need...。第一个if引导的是条件状语从句;不定式短语to establish a barrier...a bill late作need的宾语,其中,that引导的定语从句that you absolutely will not dip below修饰barrier,括号内even if引导的是该定语从句的让步状语从句。
barrier意为“屏障,障碍”。如:
The horse took the barrier easily. 那匹马轻松地越过了障碍。
overdraft意为“透支,透支额”。如:
He has a huge overdraft to pay off. 他有一大笔透支额要偿还。
dip在句中意为“微降,下沉”。如:
The sun dipped below the western sea. 太阳慢慢沉入西边的大海里。
