10. He wasn't there long, though, because his mother passed away just four years later.
點(diǎn)睛
though意為“盡管,然而”,此處為插入語(yǔ),表示語(yǔ)氣的轉(zhuǎn)折,切忌與其后引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句的because混在一起。pass away在句中意為“去世,亡故”。later用在時(shí)間之后通常表示“一段時(shí)間之后”,如:three weeks later三周之后。
考點(diǎn)歸納
口語(yǔ)中常見(jiàn)的與pass有關(guān)的短語(yǔ)還有:
pass around意為“傳遞;分發(fā)”。如:
This letter is being passed around among the students. 這封信正在學(xué)生中間傳閱。
pass down意為“往下傳,傳給后人”。如:
The knowledge was passed down from one generation to the next. 這些知識(shí)是一代一代傳下來(lái)的。
pass out意為“昏迷,失去知覺(jué)”。如:
She always passes out at the sight of blood. 她總是一見(jiàn)到血就暈過(guò)去。
聽(tīng)音解惑
passed⌒away[pɑ?st⌒??wei]里的[t]與[?]相鄰,讀作[pɑ?s t??wei]。
