Part 01
Scale
n 规模
Here was corruption on a grand scale
v 攀登

介绍一个经常用的词组 scale back
联想应用在作文中的方式
1 削减生产规模 scale back output
2 缩减规划 ~ plans
3 减少期望值
4 减少支出
5 减少承担风险
例句
Scale back your expectations just a bit so you
won't have to face unnecessary disappointment.
减少你的期望值也许就不会面临不需要的麻烦了
I think I wanted to be able to scale back without worrying about keeping up a consumer lifestyle.
我想我应该要减少支出，这样我就不必因为要保持消费的生活方式而担心受怕。
If firms loosen their purse-strings to hire workers and to invest, that will allow governments to scale back their borrowing.
如果企业放松财政，雇用工人，投资，就会让政府减少借贷。
减少的词语还有：Diminish/undermine /weaken/decrease/decline..后续会出相关积累与应用。
He specialised in criminal law.
他专攻刑法。
Swiss Re and the re/insurance industry have set aside billions to help shoulder the financial impact of the pandemic. And across the world, countries have made emergency aid programmes available. Still, the suffering and the uncertainty for those affected is enormous.
shoulder
on sb‘s shoulders
由某人承担
to shoulder the responsibility/blame for sth
对某事承担责任╱过失
相近的表示承担的词 如 Bear/undertake/assume 可以记到小本本里
短语有类似 take on
可以联想 承受 与其意思相近
deserve/ sustain/ support /afford... 意思相近要对比记忆
Enormous
表示大可以是具象和抽象
如要说巨大的成功
stellar /crowning/gravity-defying success 可以很好表达
To do better next time, we as a society need to be better prepared. One solution is to partner in public-private risk-sharing arrangements to cover pandemic-related losses. Swiss Re is committed to helping society become more resilient and progress.
be committed to
承诺 致力于
如果作文中要写到致力于某方面的工作，可以用到词组
delicate/devote/commit/bend/devote oneself to。。。
resilient
有弹性的、人的性格乐观
To ensure that food is always available, the global food market will have to be deeper and more resilient than it is now.
为了确保食物充足，全球的食品市场将不得不比现在更深入和更有弹性。
联想记忆：人的性格乐观更能接受更多别人接受不了的事，不容易被挫折打击所以更有弹性。
原文如下：
