英語六級攻克閱讀關(guān)鍵句237. For the sake of fairness, it must be note

237. For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels.

譯文　說句公道話，必須認識到高跟鞋有值得肯定的一面。

點睛　本句的主干是...it must be noted that...。其中，that引導(dǎo)的主語從句是形式主語it指代的真正主語；for the sake of fairness為目的狀語。

for the sake of意為“為了……的利益或好處”。fairness意為“公平，公正”。

考點歸納　positive、passive、optimistic和pessimistic這四個都是與態(tài)度有關(guān)的詞，必須區(qū)分清楚：

positive意為“積極的”。如：

There has been a positive response to the UN Secretary General's recent peace efforts. 聯(lián)合國秘書長最近作出的和平努力得到了積極的回應(yīng)。

此外，它還可以表示“肯定的；絕對的”。如：

There is positive proof that he did it. 有確切的證據(jù)證明他做了此事。

passive意為“消極的”，相當于negative。此外，它還可以表示“被動的”。如：

It is a sad truth that children are the biggest victims of passive smoking. 孩子們是被動吸煙的最大受害者，這是個令人傷心的事實。

optimistic意為“樂觀的”。如：

The President says she is optimistic that an agreement can be worked out soon. 總統(tǒng)說，她相信不久就會達成共識。

pessimistic意為“悲觀的”。如：

Hardy has often been criticized for an excessively pessimistic view of life. 哈迪經(jīng)常由于人生觀太過悲觀而受到批評。
