英語六級攻克閱讀關鍵句330. Given the huge amount of text generated b
330. Given the huge amount of text generated by almost every transaction—from court briefs and legislation running into the thousands of pages to those foot-long receipts you get when you buy gum these days—a person who is a master of the written word can expect doors to open in just about every field.
譯文 鑒于幾乎每一項交易都會產生數量龐大的文本——從上千頁的法庭摘要、法規(guī)到如今你買個口香糖都能收到的那些長達一英尺的收據——一個擅長書面文字的人理應得到幾乎每個行業(yè)的大門都向他打開（的機會）。
點睛 本句的主干是...a person...can expect doors to open...。其中given引導的介詞短語given the huge amount...transaction是原因狀語；兩破折號之間的內容from court briefs...these days是對the huge amount of text進行具體說明；who引導的定語從句修飾主語a person。
generate意為“產生，發(fā)生”，如：
The minister said the reforms would generate new jobs. 部長說，改革將會帶來新的工作機會。
transaction在句中意為“事務；交易”，該詞還有“處理，辦理”之意，如：
You can leave the transaction of the matter to your secretary. 你可以把這件事交給秘書辦理。
legislation意為“法律，法規(guī)”。
考點歸納 短語run into的常見用法可歸納如下：
表示“偶然碰見”，如：
I ran into my childhood friend at the airport. 我在機場偶然遇到了我童年時的朋友。
表示“遭遇（困難等）”。如：
The man knows his daughter has run into trouble. 這個男人知道他的女兒有麻煩了。
表示“共計，達到……之多”。如：
The guests on his wedding ran into 1000. 出席他婚禮的賓客達1000人之多。
表示“驅車造訪”。如：
The young lady ran into the country with her mother and had a good day. 那個年輕的女士駕車帶著她母親到鄉(xiāng)下轉了一圈，玩得很開心。
