10. exacerbate the plight of...,加剧了...的问题,雪上加霜,火上浇油

make one's woes worse 雪上加霜,火上浇油

表示“问题”,除了problem,还可以说woe, plight

例如:

Newcomers are disrupting every part of retail, but Victoria’s Secret has made its woes worse.

exacerbate意思是让不好的东西变得更不好,即“恶化、加剧”,“雪上加霜,火上浇油”,后面常加疾病、问题等词。比如,谈到环境污染对人类健康的影响时,可以说:

Environmental pollution exacerbated human's health problems.

exacerbate可以用aggravate替换,含义及用法完全一致。

make one's woes worse,给某人雪上加霜,火上浇油。知道woe可以表示“问题、困境”的意思就可以了,而且常用复数,外刊中常用woes来替换problems,比如,financial woes 金融问题。

11.a growing body of research

表示“很多、大量”,除了a lot of..., a large amount of...等词,我们还可以说a body of...,比如a body of evidence 大量证据,a body of information 大量信息, a body of research 大量研究。

例如:

还有a host of:

2)A dearth of competition among firms helps explain wage inequality and a host of other ills.

企业间缺乏竞争是导致工资不平等和其他诸多问题的原因。

还要说明的一点是,在新闻中,body还经常表示“机构、组织”,比如a regulatory body 监管机构,an advisory body 咨询机构。

12. obsess over likes and comments 迷恋于点赞和评论,引申为沉迷社交媒体

例如:

It is difficult to prove that obsessing over likes and comments causes mental illness, rather than the other way around.

很难证明沉迷社交媒体会引发精神疾病,而不是精神疾病患者容易沉迷社交媒体。

likes指“点赞”,也可以说thumbs-up.

mental illness=psychiatric illnesses:精神疾病

the other way around是一个很地道的用法,表示“另一种(相反的)情况”,前面常加否定词,比如rather than, not等,表示“而不是相反的情况”。

例如:

To succeed, edtech must be at the service of teaching, not the other way around.

教育技术要成功,必须要服务于教学,而不是学习。

(言外之意是,教育技术要辅助老师教学,而不是学生学习。因为一旦学生接触了技术,很难抵挡诱惑。not the other way around = not at the service of learning.)

13. well-paid 表示“高薪的”

如果觉得这个词用腻了,也可以换成lucrative:a lucrative job 一份高薪工作。如果表示“工作成功“,可以说:a high-flying job/a successful job.
