Day 38:Englishpod (Buying a Car)
Hey,guys,
I am Carla.
经过我一番思考，我打算以后在前面的内容与大家分享近义词或形近词辨析，因为自己一直在备考专四，然后这部分比较弱，也很少去看到，所以打算把它添加在每次Englishpod打卡前面。大家也可以一起学习。我也有准备在暑假，不仅仅学习Englishpod,可能还会提供经济学人的学习，精读，因为经济学人文章有很多特别好的写作句型，短语和单词，所以希望通过这个方式也能提高自己的写作水平。
好吧，我们下面就来分享一组形近词辨析
arise: 不及物动词，指无形的东西产生，发生和出现，如困难，问题等。
rise:不及物动词，使用范围较广，既用于具体事物的上升，增长，又用于抽象事物的上涨和发生，如，The sun rises in the east.太阳从东边升起。
raise:及物动词，表示把具体某物抬起到高处，或提高某抽象事物(如工资，地位等）
Englishpod 第三十八期（👈音频听力）
A: Hi there, can I help you folks?
B: I’m just browsing; seeing what’s on the lot. My
daughter wants a car for her birthday, you know how it is.
C: Dad! I’m sixteen already and I’m, like, the only one at
school who doesn’t have a car!
A: She is right, you know. Kids these days all have cars.
Let me show you something we just got in: a 1996 sedan.
Excellent gas mileage, it has dual airbags and anti lock
brakes; a perfect vehicle for a young driver.
C: Dad, I love it! It’s awesome! Can we get this one
please?
B: I see... What can you tell me about this one?
A: Oh, that’s just an old World War Two tank that we use
for TV commercials. Now about this sedan...
B: Whoa, whoa wait a minute. Tell me more about this
tank.
A: Well, Sir, if you are looking for quality and safety then
look no further! Three inches of reinforced steel protect
your daughter from short range missile attacks.
B: Does the sedan protect her from missile attacks?
A: It does not.
B: Well, I don’t know. Let me sleep on it.
A: Did I mention the tank is a tank?
B: I’ll take it!
C: Dad!
