二、今天学了一个关于“人设”的表达,project.
这个词烂大街的意思是“工程/项目”的意思,但是作为动词是“投射”之意。
搭配:project sb as sth 就是表示“把某人投射成...”(想象投射到墙上的那画面。),那就是意味着“自己打造出了某形象。”
如:He projected himself as a career-obsessed woman.她把自己打造成了一女强人的形象。
名词:projected image.人设。
project sb into/onto sth指某人在某事上大获成功
三、补充一个刚才看到的词burgeoning
adj.快速发展=rapid growth/development
eg. the burgeoning market disturbs us.
burgeoning market=emerging market
四、feasible与practicable的区别。
feasible 暗示一般是可以成功的,eg the project is technologically feasible and economicly affordable.
practicable 是说理论上可行,但实际上的结果不太好。

让她继续做原来的工作在情理上行不通。

place ( ) a five-star hotel. The service is so dreadful.(B)

pass for 错误地被看作
pass over 忽略,不注意。
pass up错过,放过某事。
