121. "With Wi-Fi (fast, wireless Internet connections) popping up all over the place, even on trains, our fee-earners can be productive as they travel, and between meetings, instead of having to kill time at the shops," he adds.
譯文
“隨著Wi-Fi(高速的無線互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接入)的廣泛普及,甚至火車上也接入了無線互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。我們的員工即使在旅途中或者會議間隙時也能夠高效地工作,而不是在商店消磨時間”,他補充道。
點睛
本句引號內(nèi)的內(nèi)容為直接引語,句子的主干為...he adds。直接引語部分的主干為...our fee-earners can be productive...;其中with引導(dǎo)的短語作伴隨狀語,as引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句和介詞短語between meetings都在句中充當(dāng)時間狀語;instead of引導(dǎo)的介詞短語作狀語。
pop up意為“突然出現(xiàn)”。如:
The idea popped up into my mind. 這個主意突然在我的腦海中浮現(xiàn)。
productive意為“多產(chǎn)的;富有成效的”。如:
It is not productive to do lots of irrelevant tasks at the same time. 同時做許多不相關(guān)的工作,并不見得就是富有成效的。
考點歸納
介詞with常常后接其他名詞或短語,構(gòu)成復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu),在句子中作狀語,相當(dāng)于副詞的作用。
