  难点

  本文选自《卫报》- Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down – and we keep making more

  细节-1:

  rather than  B1

  instead of; used especially when you prefer one thing to another

  宁愿,更喜欢;而不是

  例句:

  I think I'd like to stay at home this evening rather than go out.

  我觉得我今晚更想呆在家里,而不是出去玩儿

  细节-2:

  drink from clean streams, or from faucets … 这里的or在连接两个介词短语时,若前后使用的是相同的介词,那么后面一个介词通常可以省略,可以改成 drink from clean streams, or faucets …

  or 延伸用法:

  当or连接两个介词短语时,如果前后使用的是不同的介词,后面的介词不能省略,因为省略后意思就不对了。

  如:

  Shall we go by car or on foot? 我们是坐车还是走路去?

  Will you pay in cash or by credit card? 您是付现金还是刷卡?

  但是,如果前后使用的是相同的介词,那后面一个介词可以省略吗?比如下面句子中

  细节-3:

  break down 原意为(机器或车辆)出故障,或(系统或关系)崩溃,瓦解;(讨论)失败,但在这个语境的意思是降解,同样的表达比较常见的还有degrade或biodegrade
