跟读内容:跟读的是C19 Test3 Part4的第9句-第15句
跟读时间:上午8:40-9:00, 11:30-12:00
跟读心得日记:
1、There is evidence that microplastics harm small creatures in a variety of ways, such as by damaging their mouths, or by impairing their ability to feed, for example when microplastics get lodged in their digestive system.(C19 Test3 Part4第10句)
跟读这句话,最大的收获是一下子学习到了三个表示“损害,伤害的”意思的单词,分别是harm,damage和impair,让自己未来表达这个意思的时候,词语一下子丰富了好多。特别是harm,过去我只知道当名词用,或者用其形容词harmful,现在知道harm可以直接做动词。
另外一个知识点就是lodge这个词,以前只知道表示山间小屋,现在发现lodge还可以做动词,表示临时租住,安置,安顿的意思。这里get lodged in 表示什么东西沉积或滞留在什么地方。
2、Surprisingly perhaps, it is likely that humans consume microplastics, as these have been detected in a wide range of food and drink products, including bottled water, as well as in water that comes direct from the tap.(C19 Test3 Part4第11句)
surprisingly perhaps是一个固定搭配,表示“也行令人惊讶的是”。
另外这里又是一个很好的as well as 的用法,就是用来表示并列列举,但是需要限定和形容的内容比较多,是一个句子,就用as well as来引导,而不是简单的and。
这句话中,还有一个点,就是direct,我听写的时候,写成了directly,后来跟读发现,其读得是direct,当时还感觉很意外,后来查了一下,才发现,direct本身除了形容词外,还可以直接做副词,表示直接地,主要用来形容在空间上的连续,而directly更多表示在时间和动作上的连续。
3、What's more, salt and many kinds of seafood have also been found to contain microplastics.(C19 Test3 Part4第12句)
跟读这句话主要是又学到了一个新的短语“what's more”用在口语中,来增加新的信息,与in addition, moreover比较类似。
4、However, it's important to underline that there is not yet conclusive proof that microplastics cause significant harm to people.(C19 Test3 Part4第13句)
跟读这句话主要学到了两个新词,一个是underline,表示强调。
另一个就是conclusive proof确凿证据,决定性证据。
5、在今天的跟读中,还一下子就学会了三个我们在洗澡间经常用的东西
shower gels 沐浴露
facial cleansers 洗面奶
toothpaste 牙膏
