7. Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority.
點睛
雖然句首提到thanks表示感謝,但but之后的內(nèi)容才是應(yīng)關(guān)注的重點,其中in view of意為“鑒于,由于,考慮到”,其后所接的內(nèi)容往往是聽力的考點所在。definitely意為“明確地,確切地”。minority意為“少數(shù)”,與之相反的則是majority“多數(shù)”。
考點歸納
口語中與view有關(guān)的常見短語有:
have sth. in view意為“心中有……打算(或目的)”。如:
He wanted to find a job, but had nothing particular in view. 他想找份工作,可沒什么具體的打算。
on view意為“在展出,在陳列”。如:
Her paintings were on view at the new gallery. 她的畫作在那家新畫廊中展出了。
with a view to (doing) sth. 意為“為了,指望”。如:
They bought the cottage with a view to moving there when they retired. 他們買那座小屋是為了退休后搬過去住。
