英語六級-完形語法關(guān)鍵句357. Both in Europe and in the U.S., the day-n

357. Both in Europe and in the U.S., the day-nursery movement received great impetus during the First World War, when shortage of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented numbers of women.

譯文　一戰(zhàn)期間，由于勞動力的匱乏導(dǎo)致了工業(yè)雇工中的女性數(shù)量達(dá)到了空前的數(shù)目，所以歐洲和美國的日托運動都受到了很大的推動。

點睛　本句主干為...the day-nursery movement received...impetus，后面when引導(dǎo)的是時間狀語從句。

impetus意為“推動力，促進”。如：

It will have positive impetus function on the development of our economy. 這將對我國經(jīng)濟的進一步發(fā)展起到積極的推動作用。

unprecedented意為“空前的，無先例的”。如：

The new technology has reached an unprecedented level. 這種新科技已經(jīng)達(dá)到了一種空前的水平。

shortage of意為“缺乏，短缺”。如：

Shortage of capital is a fundamental factor that restricts the economic development. 資本不足是限制經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的一個根本因素。

考點歸納　與shortage of近義的短語還有：

be short of意為“短缺”。如：

They are short of money, but not their willing heart or firm determination. 盡管缺錢，但他們卻不缺乏堅定的信念和決心。

be lacking in意為“缺乏，缺少”。如：

They seem to be lacking in experience and patience. 他們看起來缺乏經(jīng)驗和耐心。

be devoid of意為“缺乏”。如：

He's the kind of guy who's not devoid of compassion. 他是那種不乏同情心的人。
