英語六級聽力口語關鍵句(89)
The performance is said to be excellent and with a student's discount, the tickets will be really cheap.
點睛
該句需要注意be said to...的類似表達以及discount的用法。be said to...的意思是“人們說”,這種用被動語態(tài)表示主動語氣的表達方式,意在強調(diào)事情的客觀性。類似的表達還有:
1) be supposed to... 意為“人們期望”。如:
You are supposed to be here at nine. 你應該9點到這兒。
2) It is believed that... 意為“人們相信”。如:
It is believed that we will definitely win the prize. 大家相信我們一定會得獎。
3) It must be admitted that... 意為“必須承認……”。如:
It must be admitted that for the present we are inferior to our competitors in technical equipment. 必須承認,目前我們在技術設備上略遜于我們的競爭對手。
本句中,discount是名詞,意為“折扣”。如:
They give a 10% discount for cash payment. 現(xiàn)金付款,他們給予九折優(yōu)惠。
此外,discount還可以用作動詞,表示“打折;認為……不重要,低估”。如:
1) The store discounted all clothing for the sale. 該店服裝全部打折出售。
2) His information is not to be discounted. 他的消息不可不重視。
考點歸納
discount作為名詞,可以組成很多實用短語。如:
at a discount 折價,減價出售;低于面值的價格;不受重視
