五一假期过后,上海开始逐渐转热,像是个火炉一般炽热的灼烧着我们,而近期的雅思考生也是连连叫苦,明明只是一个小众化的考试,却频频登上微博热搜,其难度可想而知,近期话题度超高的健康话题又被雅思考官重新拉了出来,上一次考试更是直截了当的叙述了fast foot所造成的问题,那么我们应该如何去回答这一类话题呢?今天就让Nick带大家一起解答一下吧。
健康类话题通常为:食物浪费,个人健康,社会焦虑,信仰和相关健康论文等等。
Attention, fast food devotees.
If the start of a new year wasn’t enough to make you change your eating habits, the results of new research might be.
A long-term study has specifically linked consumption of fast food to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
本段经典词汇解析:
devotee /ˌdevəˈtiː/
n. 爱好者;信徒
这个词很明显由 devote 加上名词后缀 -ee 组合而来。-ee 有两个意思,一是很常见的“被……的人;受……的人”,如 trainee “接受培训的人,培训学员”,employee “被雇佣的人,雇员”;第二个意思稍微少见一些,是“做……的人;……的人”,如 attendee “参会的人,与会者”,对应的当然也有 absentee “缺席的人,缺席者”。
在 devotee 中,显然是第二个意思,“供奉事物的人,信徒”,一般语境中理解为“爱好者,发烧友”。
这里作者用 fast food devotees 就很生动形象地表述了“喜欢吃快餐的人”这么一个概念,大家赶紧学起来!以后描述“……爱好者”除了可以说 lover,还可以说 devotee 哟!
consumption,
consume,
consumer
以上三词比较熟悉,核心概念是“消费”,使用方法清奇。其实,除了“消费”,还可表达“使用;消耗”等相关概念。
原文中 consumption of fast food 就是“快餐消耗,吃快餐”的意思。
这里的用法也很妙,用 consumption 替代了 eating,属于经典的替换词。
