VOA慢速英语:Broadband Subscribers Pass 500-Million in July
run out of用完…,耗尽…
例句:We have run out of sugar.
我们的糖用完了。
2.One of the things that we're really seeing with broadband is that there are markets opening up, especially for emerging and developing countries that they would have never had an audience for."
open up变宽; 展现; 揭示
例句:After a while the road opened up and they traveled more quickly.
过了一会儿, 路变宽了, 他们也走得更快了。
The State Council are examining possibilities which are opening up in local affairs.
国务院正在考查开放地方事务的可行性。
The chance meeting with the president opened up new possibilities for him.
与总统邂逅提供给他新的机会。
3.China and the United States are next, with an average of more than six million subscribers each.
an average of平均有(跟数词)
例句:An average of ten students are absent each day .
每天平均有10个学生缺课。
each用法易错说明:
1)关于 each of:其后接的名词或代词必须是复数,而不能是单数;其后所接名词必须要有冠词、物主代词、指示代词等之类的限定词修饰;
反过来,若是名词前有了限定词修饰,则必须要用 each of而不能只用 each:
正:each of the (my, your, these) children
误:each the (my, your, these) children (因为没有of而错)
误:each of childrne (因 of 后的名词没有限定词而错)
2)主语中使用 each 时,需注意以下主谓一致和代词一致:
(1) 几个并列的“each+单数名词”结构用作主语时,谓语通常用单数。如:
Each boy and each girl likes the book. 每个男孩和每个女孩都喜欢这本书。
(2) 在反意问句中,其谓语可以用单数(强调个体 )也可以用复数(强调整体)。如:
Each of the students has seen the film, haven’t they [hasn’t he]? 每个学生都看过这部电影了,是吗?
(3) 用于复数主语后作同位语,其后的谓语要用复数。如:
We each have an umbrella. 我们每人都有一把雨伞。
比较:Each of us has an umbrella. (from www.hxen.net)
(4) 用代词代替 each 时,原则上用单数,但有时为了避免男女人称使用上的不便,也可用复数。如:
Each member of the party must do their best. 队里每个人都要尽他们所能。
3)不要因受汉语“每个……都……”的影响,将 each 与 all 连用。如:
误:Each student all wants to go.
正:Each student wants to go. 每个学生都想去。
但是 each and all 是固定短语,意为“全部”。如:
Each and all have gone to see the play. 大伙都去看戏了。
4)用于 each other 与 one another:一般认为 each other 指两者,other another指三者或三者以上。但在实际运用中,这两个短语常可互换。如:
We see each other [one another] every day. 我们彼此每天都见面。
The sea and the sky seem to melt into one another [eachother]. 大海和蓝天似乎融为一体。
