VOA慢速英语:Internet Training Center Comes to Togo

1.A new Internet training center in Togo will give young people in that part of West Africa a chance to improve their job skills.

give双宾语

双宾语由直接宾语和间接宾语组成。直接宾语是谓语动词的承受者，间接宾语表示谓语动作的方向（对谁做）或动作的目标（为谁做），间接宾语紧接在谓语动词后，但它不能单独存在。它和直接宾语组成双宾语，例：
　　
Please show me your passport.请把护照给我看一下。（your passport是直接宾语，me是间接宾语）

常用的能接双宾语的及物动词
　
　　有：give, teach, buy, lend, find, hand, leave, sell, show, read, pay, make, offer, build, pass, bring, cook等。
　　I’ll fetch you a chair.我给你拿一只椅子。（a chair是直接宾语，you是间接宾语）
　　间接宾语可以用一个由to 表示动作方向）或for 表示动作目标）引起的短语来表示。这时，间接宾语置于直接宾语之后。我们可以把上面例句改写为：
　　Please show your passport to me.
　　I'll fetch a chair for you.
　　一般用法如下:for example:
　　give sth to sb = give sb sth.

　　英语中，有些及物动词可接两个宾语（双宾语），即指人的间接宾语和指物的直接宾语。常用句型为：主语＋及物动词＋间接宾语＋直接宾语。如：
　　Give me a cup of tea, please. 请给我一杯茶。
　　有时，间接宾语也可改为由介词to或for引起的短语，放在直接宾语的后面。如：
　　She passed him the salt. ＝She passed the salt to him. 她把盐递给了他。
　　Her uncle bought her an English-Chinese dictionary yesterday. ＝ Her uncle bought an English-Chinese dictionary for her yesterday. 昨天，她叔叔给她买了一本英汉词典。

2.So either directly or indirectly we're dependent upon these systems.

either or用于连接两个表示选择关系的名词或代词，意为“要么……要么”。如：

He must be either mad or drunk. 他不是疯了就是醉了。

You can go swimming or play tennis. 你可以去游泳也可以去打网球。

Either you or I am wrong. 不是你错了就是我错了。

Are either you or I wrong? 是你错了还是我错了?

说明：通常应连接两个相同性质的句子成分，但有时后一成分可能省略与前一成分相同的词。若连接两个成分作主语，其谓语通常与靠近的主语保持一致。如：

You can either have tea or coffee. 你喝茶也行，喝咖啡也行。

Either you or I am wrong. 不是你错，就是我错。

3.The Internet and these networks are growing so fast, it's really hard to keep up.

keep up跟上, 赶上

例句：If you cannot keep up, I can walk more slowly.
      要是你跟不上, 我可以走得慢一点儿。

4.So there's a recommendation that they target at least thirty percent female enrollment.

recommendation同位语从句

在复合句主句中名词性成分之后与该名词性成分并列， 补充说明该名词性成分的有关情况的名词性从句， 被称为同位语从句。同位语从句的先行词通常为answer, hope, fact, truth, belief, news, idea, promise, information, conclusion, order, suggestion, problem, question, thought, report, belief, decision, doubt, opinion, theory等抽象名词。例如： The news that his heath is failing made us sad. 他健康状况不佳的消息使我们很难过。// I have no idea where they are spending their holidays. 我不知道他们在哪里度假。// The question who should do the work requires consideration.谁该干这项工作的问题需要考虑。// There is no doubt that he will come here again.他会再来这里， 这是毫无疑问的。// He was tortured by the doubt whether he would accept their presents.他被是否接受他们的礼物这个疑虑所折磨着。
