英語六級攻克閱讀關鍵句222. As an example of what's going on, conside

222. As an example of what's going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota.

譯文　作為現在正在發(fā)生的事情的例子，考慮一下最近被明尼蘇達州以欺詐行為起訴的美國合眾銀行。

點睛　本句中，as引導伴隨狀語；which引導定語從句，修飾U.S. Bancorp。

U.S. Bancorp即“美國合眾銀行”，其中Bancorp為bank和corporation的合成。sue意為“起訴；控告”，常用于sue sb. for sth. 這一搭配。如：

I'll sue you for libel. 我要以誹謗罪控告你。

考點歸納　deceptive是由動詞deceit引申而來的形容詞。由deceit引申而來的詞主要有：

deceptive意為“迷惑的；虛偽的；詐欺的”。如：

Deceptive advertising have damaged the company's image among the consumers. 虛假廣告已損害了該公司在消費者心目中的形象。

deceptiveness意為“欺騙的性質或狀態(tài)”。如：

Precisely because he can still deceive a number of people and has a certain deceptiveness, he was still kept in the gang group. 就是因為他還能欺騙一部分人，還有一點欺騙人的價值，所以他現在還是那一流氓團伙的成員。

deception意為“騙局，詭計”。如：

His pretended friendship was part of the deception. 他偽裝出來的友誼是騙局的一部分。
