Your point makes me sit up and take notice.

你的觀點(diǎn)令我刮目相看。

make sb. sit up and take notice 直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“使某人端坐著并集中注意力”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“令某人刮目相看”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"Your point makes me sit up and take notice."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Your point makes me enlightened."、"Your point impresses me."。

情景對(duì)白：

Shirley: I think it's better to rent computers rather than buying them to the benefit of capital turnover.

雪莉：我認(rèn)為租電腦比購(gòu)買劃算，這樣更有利于資金周轉(zhuǎn)。

Boss: That's a good idea. Your point makes me sit up and take notice.

老板：好主意，你的觀點(diǎn)令我刮目相看。

搭配句積累：

①I suggest that we brainstorm a solution to this issue.

我建議大家集思廣益，討論出一個(gè)解決辦法。

②The cost could be enormous to purchase instead of renting since computers should be changed every four or five years.

購(gòu)買相比租用所花成本巨大，因?yàn)殡娔X每四五年就得更新一次。

③I think office tables should be purchased while equipment like computers and copiers should be rented.

我認(rèn)為辦公桌可以購(gòu)買，而電腦和復(fù)印機(jī)之類的設(shè)備可以租賃。

④We'd better make a general cost analysis to decide whether to buy or to rent.

我們最好做一份全面的成本分析來(lái)決定是買還是租。

單詞：

It should be to the benefit of humanity if all individuals - and this includes myself - did a renovation or remodeling job on our own character.

如果所有的個(gè)體包括我自己在內(nèi)能自新或重塑造自己的品格，將有益于整個(gè)人類社會(huì)。

如果信息都被一個(gè)小的集團(tuán)所掌握，這種絕對(duì)的控制和對(duì)商業(yè)利潤(rùn)的追求，有可能會(huì)危害到普通用戶的利益。
