比如說,疾病控制中心發(fā)現(xiàn),只有不到四分之一的想要減肥的超重成年人說他們把運動與節(jié)食結(jié)合了起來。
點睛本句的主干是The Centers for Disease Control found that。for example為插入語;that引導的是found的賓語從句,其中who were trying to shed pounds是overweight adults的定語從句;they were combining exercise with their diet為said的賓語從句。
shed pounds的意思是“減輕體重”,相當于shed stones。如:
I'd like to shed a few pounds. 我想減掉幾磅體重。
combine...with...的意思是“將……與……結(jié)合起來,混合”。如:
Remember to combine the eggs with a little flour. 記得把雞蛋和少量面粉混合在一起。
考點歸納動詞combine可用于以下搭配中:
combine to do sth.意為“結(jié)合起來做某事”。如:
These factors have combined to harm our friendship. 這些因素湊在一起,傷害了我們的友誼。
combine sth. with意為“在做某事的同時做……”。如:
You can't combine studying with playing. 你不能在學習的同時還想玩。
combine sth.意為“混合某物”。如:
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. 把所有配料放到碗里攪拌。
