大家好,我是燃燃。本专栏中,学习外刊最新报道中的地道表达+句式



 capitalize on/upon



Local tourism authorities are capitalizing on the city’s newfound fame to stimulate the local economy.当地旅游局正在利用这个城市的新名声来刺激当地经济。


capitalize on/upon sth表示「充分利用(to gain a further advantage for yourself from a situation).比如The team failed to capitalize on their early lead.这个队未能充分利用开场初期领先的优势。


可以和take advantage of sthmake full use of sth.交替使用。


■结合网红猫一杯造谣事件造句,

中国网红猫一杯因利用热门话题编造男孩丢作业的假故事而被社交媒体封号。

Chinese social media celebrity Maoyibei was kicked off social media for capitalizing on hot topics and fabricating a fake story of a boy’s lost homework.



have less to do with


The gender imbalance in STEM fields has less to do with outdated stereotypes about “male reasoning” and more to do witha lack of role models for aspiring female scientists. STEM领域的性别失衡与关于男性推理的过时刻板印象关系不大,更多的是与缺乏有抱负的女科学家的榜样有关。

句中的reasoning表示「推理能力」,是指对于男性推理(逻辑、思辨)方面的能力更强的刻板印象。


sth. have less to do with A and more to do with B表示「某事和A关系不大,而更多在于B。可以用于原因分析。需要注意连接词为and,而不是but。比如It has less to do with the orientation of the person and much more to do with their character.这与一个人的取向关系不大,更多的是与他们的性格有关。


■试着造句,

学业上的成功与智力的关系不大,更多的是与努力和决心有关。

Academic success has less to do with intelligence and more to do with hard work and determination.



...is primarily rooted in...


The phenomenon of children being left behind by migrant parents is primarily rooted in economic factors.农民工父母留守儿童现象的根源主要在于经济因素。

The phenomenon of A is primarily rooted in B现象A的根源主要在B,可用来进行原因分析,A为结果,B为原因root名词表示「根,也可以是动词「扎根」be rooted in sth起源于某物。the root cause of sth造成某事的根本原因。


上述例句可改写为,

The root cause of children being left behind by migrant parents is primarily lies in economic factors.农民工父母留守儿童的问题的根本原因主要在于经济因素。lie in表示在于也可用于原因分析。


lie in表示「在于」,也是进行原因分析的精彩表达,推荐积累。primarily副词,表示「首要地,主要地」,和mainly, chiefly为同义词,可以替换使用。比如a course designed primarily for specialists主要为专业人员开设的课程。


结合数字鸿沟话题试写,
数字鸿沟现象的根源主要在于获得科技资源方面的差距。
The phenomenon of the digital divide is primarily rooted in disparities in access to technology resources.
