220. Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way.

譯文　其中一些天才可能在校的學習成績并不好，那是因為他們的天賦不在學術上。也許我們可以以這個方式解釋畢加索的經(jīng)歷。

點睛　本句中，because引導原因狀語從句；Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way是一個簡單句；in this way是方式狀語。

poorly在本句中指“糟糕地；差強人意；不足”。如：

Our candidate fared poorly in the election. 我們的候選人在選舉中得票不多。

scholastic意為“學習的；學術的”。如：

He is unfitted for scholastic life. 他不適應學術生活。

account for意為“解釋，說明”。如：

He'll have to account for where every cent goes. 他得說明所花掉的每一分錢的用途。

考點歸納　與account有關的短語還有：

on account of意為“由于”。如：

He was disqualified for the post on account of age. 由于年齡不合適，他無法勝任此職。

on no account意為“絕不可以，無論如何也不”。如：

On no account can we discard the banner of Mao Zedong Thought. 毛澤東思想這面旗幟丟不得。

on one's own account意為“為了自己的利益；獨自”。如：

He has done all the things on his own account. 他為了自己的利益做了這一切。
