90. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist, distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car.
點(diǎn)睛
短語(yǔ)turn sth. upside down意為“使某物顛倒,底朝天”。ran a stop sign在本句中意為“闖過(guò)了一個(gè)停車(chē)標(biāo)志”,要注意其中run的特殊用法。crash into意為“碰撞,撞擊”。
考點(diǎn)歸納
動(dòng)詞run除了常見(jiàn)的“跑”的含義外,在聽(tīng)力中還會(huì)用到其他含義:
“參加賽跑”。如:
The old man ran the marathon, too. 那位老人也參加了馬拉松比賽。
“管理,經(jīng)營(yíng)”。如:
Don't run my life. 不要操縱我的生活。
“提供,開(kāi)設(shè)”。如:
The university also runs various courses for adults. 這所大學(xué)還為成人開(kāi)設(shè)了各類(lèi)課程。
“操作,運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)”。如:
My new computer is running smoothly. 我的新電腦運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)正常。
聽(tīng)音解惑
