94. You will be working with two other head brokers, in other words, you will be handling about a third of our clients.
點睛
短語work with意為“與……共事、工作”;head broker意為“經(jīng)紀人經(jīng)理”;in other words意為“換句話說,也就是說”,在聽力中其后的內(nèi)容往往是設題的關鍵。a third為分數(shù)表達,意為“三分之一”。
考點歸納
聽力中常見的有關word的短語具體歸納如下:
have/exchange words (with sb.) (about sth.)意為“(就某事)(與某人)爭吵”。如:
I had words with my mother yesterday. 我昨天和我媽媽吵起來了。
in a word意為“總之,簡言之”。如:
In a word, you must make your own decision. 總之,你必須自己做決定。
keep one's word意為“遵守某人的諾言”。如:
Will you keep your word to us? 你會對我們兌現(xiàn)你的承諾嗎?
