品析经济学人

 Frontispiece. - The Tailor Mouse Beatrix Potter

早上走路上听完这篇经济学人，还没觉得什么，待到读时，觉得写的真是太棒了，虽然现在是期末复习时间，但还是想赏析下。

GRE我还不太清楚，要是托福雅思写作到这种程度，保准满分。

原文：【Economist】The next frontier

其实这篇报道的内容更震撼，科技真的进步到小说里的程度了。

1.引言中， ....may change what it means to ....

这句话超级棒，这个句型相当于 change the definition of ... 

2.首段中，.....are often billed as.... For...the term is justified.

看一下今天我做的句型训练吧：

eg.
Technologies are often billed as transformative. For William Kochevar, the term is justified. Mr Kochevar is paralysed below the shoulders after a cycling accident, yet has managed to feed himself by his own hand. 

es .
AAA are often billed as transformative. For BBB, the term is justified. Mr Kochevar is paralysed ........, yet has managed to.............

il.
Cellphones are often billed as addictive. For college students, the term is justified. They seems paralysed in the beds or on the desks, yet has managed to stick their eyes onto the rectangular screens.

3.举例论证

......tarting to focus on ....  

.......dreams of .... 

.........has $100m to spend on....

........has formed a firm ...

可见阵势之大和重视程度

4.这两个词组用在期望、设想时

...........envisage a world in which....

...........open the door to......

5. Sceptics scoff.

这两个单词，组成一句话，放在段首。太精湛了！

无论在什么时候，只要是讨论文，简单地来个转折，而且还押头韵。

6.那么接下来就该举例做反派论证了，三个例子这样印出来！

Start with......

Clear the barrier, and another one looms.

The third obstacle comprises ....

简直传神！

7. And consumer applications will take off only when they perform a function people find useful.

take off这里用的比较夸张，也很生动。

8.如何简单地阐述三个东西？

Privacy is an obvious one:

Security is another...

Inequality is a third:

9.一个词组：grapple with

Ethicsts are already starting to grapple with queations of identity and agency that arise when a marchine is in the neural loop.

grapple是摔跤，抓住

1. to hold or make fast to something, as with a grapple. 2. to use a grapple. 3. to seize another, or each other, in a firm grip, as in wrestling; clinch. 4. to engage in a struggle or close encounter (usually followed by with): He was grappling with a boy twice his size. 5. to try to overcome or deal (usually followed by with): to grapple with a problem.

graple 才是葡萄，对比一下。

ok就这九个啦。

天天都读一篇经济学人，我之前怎么没发现这么好的知识点呢。
