66. This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well.
點睛
短語give clue to意為“給出有關……的提示、線索”,其中名詞clue意為“線索,提示”,一般應與介詞to連用,to引導的內(nèi)容往往是聽力的關鍵。短語sooner or later意為“遲早,早晚有一天”。
考點歸納
由sooner構成的短語常在口語中出現(xiàn),常見的有:
no sooner...than...意為“一……就……,剛……就……”。如:
No sooner had I walked in the door than the phone rang. 我剛走進房門,電話就響了。
the sooner, the better意為“越快越好”。如:
"When shall I finish the project?" "The sooner, the better." “我該什么時候完成這個項目呢?”“越快越好。”
sooner rather than later意為“趕早不趕晚,及早”。如:
I'd like to see it done sooner rather than later. 我希望看到事情及早解決。
