重点看看adopt在雅思里的高频使用!

要懂得词本无义，义由景生----只要是表示“可以选择什么的时候”，均可以使用adopt.

根据语境不同，常见的搭配有如下：

背它背它背它，好用~

采取某项政策adopt a policy

通过立法adopt legislation

养成一个习惯adopt a habit

以上可以看出，adopt分别有采取、实施、养成的含义。

以下练习有点难度，慢慢来，先感受就好：

例1： 我认为政府或许会制定总体的儿童健康医疗政策，但父母通常有最后的决定权。

My own view is that while governments may adopt a general policy for children's medical care, parents should normally have the ultimate say.

例2：毫无疑问，当今世界已成为了全球村。其中一个影响就是在世界各地人们越来越多的接触到类似的服务和产品，养成类似的习惯。

It is undoubtedly the case that the world today has become a global village. One of the effects of this is that increasingly people in all corners of the world are exposed to similar services and products and adopt similar habits.

例3：政府应该如何解决人口过剩的问题并不是一件容易的事。在有些国家，法律规定超生的父母要缴纳特别税。不过，我怀疑这个方法在其它国家是否切合实际。

It is not quite so easy to decide how governments should deal with the causes of overpopulation. Some countries have adopted legislation that requires parents to pay a special tax if they have more than one child. I doubt, however, whether this solution is realistic in other countries.
