15. You are the talk of the town and the pride of our class now.
點(diǎn)睛
此句中的the talk屬于口語(yǔ)中動(dòng)詞活用成名詞的現(xiàn)象，意為“談?wù)摰脑掝}”，這種用法在口語(yǔ)中很常見。釋義時(shí)，只要在原詞意思的基礎(chǔ)上稍加變動(dòng)，使其符合在句中的搭配就可以了。如：
1) There is talk of bankruptcy. 有傳聞?wù)f要破產(chǎn)。
2) He has much talk but no action. 他說(shuō)了一大堆空話而無(wú)實(shí)際行動(dòng)。
3) His threats were just talk. 他的恫嚇只不過(guò)是說(shuō)說(shuō)罷了。
考點(diǎn)歸納
pride在本句中是名詞，意為“驕傲”。在口語(yǔ)中，pride還可作為動(dòng)詞使用，意為“使得意，使自豪；使（自己）沉迷于快樂或滿意的感覺之中”，表達(dá)為pride sb. on sth.。如：I pride myself on this beautiful garden. 我為這個(gè)美麗的花園而自豪。
另外，pride的形容詞是proud，其用法是be proud of sth.或be proud that。如：
1) He is proud of his daughter's ability to speak four languages. 他為女兒能說(shuō)四種語(yǔ)言而驕傲。
2) She was so proud that her son has so much talent. 兒子這么有天賦令她喜不自勝。
