跟着KK开始学习何凯文每日一句!。如果你能从开始坚持到结束,对于每一句能够融会贯通,那么你就赢了!下面河南文都考研带给大家何凯文每日一句:
Managers don’t need an academic study to recognize that launches take a toll on many parts of a company, from design and development to manufacturing and marketing. Firms that launch many new products incur high costs, which may hurt stock returns.
思考题:
What does the author mean by “take a toll” ?
(A) make the damage
(B) make a survey
(C) win the trust
(D) hurt stock market
词汇突破:
1. launch 新品发布
2. incur 导致(这个词你必须知道哈!)
3. hurt stock returns 损害股票收益
第一句:
Managers don’t need an academic study to recognize that launches take a toll on many parts of a company, from design and development to manufacturing and marketing.
切分:
1. Managers don’t need an academic study to recognize that
2. launches take a toll on many parts of a company,
3. from design and development to manufacturing and marketing.
参考译文:管理人员不需要学术研究来就知道,产品发布会在公司的许多部门造成消极影响,从设计开发、制造到市场营销,不一而足。
第二句:
Firms that launch many new products incur high costs, which may hurt stock returns.
参考译文:公司推出许多新产品会带来高昂的成本,可能会损害股票收益。
想好了吧:
"about-face" (Line 1, Para 3) most probably means
[A] loss of good will
[B] increase of hostility
[C] change of attitude
现在想好了吧,答案C是一定对的!
因为[A] loss of good will 丢掉好意
[B] increase of hostility 增加敌意
[C] change of attitude 态度转变
无论是“丢掉好意”还是“增加敌意”都是态度转变啊!
所以我为什么不选态度转变这样一个一定对的选项呢?
同理:
(A) make the damage
(D) hurt stock market
“伤害股票市场”一定是“造成破坏”
所以(A) make the damage 是一定正确的!
记住:越模糊的选项越正确。
而且这里也不是伤害股票市场,而是伤害股票回报。
这是两个概念。
大家肯定看到了第二句:公司推出许多新产品会带来高昂的成本,可能会损害股票收益。
知道“take a toll”是个负面含义的词汇,
所以只能选(A) make the damage啊!
再次强调:越模糊的选项越正确。
最后:take a toll就是表示“造成破坏”的意思。
