英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀關(guān)鍵句：296. We treat them as objects whose

296. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children.

譯文

我們把孩子們看成了物品，以其外表和成就自豪，而不是從盡力滿足孩子的最大興趣出發(fā)做事。

點(diǎn)睛

本句的主干是we treat them as objects, rather than serve the best interests of the children。whose appearance and...be proud of是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾objects；其中，we can be proud of是省略了引導(dǎo)詞that的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞something。

考點(diǎn)歸納

serve意為“為……服務(wù)；能滿足……需要”。與serve有關(guān)的其他短語(yǔ)還有：

You'd better work harder and identify your own style, or you just serve the time. 你最好再努力些，找到屬于自己的風(fēng)格，否則你只不過(guò)是在隨波逐流。

serve the turn意為“適用”。如：

Since it's raining outside now, this umbrella may serve your turn. 外面下雨了，這把傘你應(yīng)該能用到。

serve out意為“分配，分給”。如：

Would you please serve out the soup for us? 請(qǐng)給我們盛一下湯，好嗎？
