    1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

    词:-minded

    英英释义: having a particular character, interest or way of thinking about things

    例句:The Lancet, a general medical journal, is highly popular among academically-minded medical students.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

    “minded”常以后缀的形式使用,比如我们常见的有 like-minded(志同道合的),open-minded(思想开明的)。-minded 作为后缀可以表示“有…性格”“对…感兴趣”,我们在一些语境下可以用来灵活替换 charater, be interested in。一起通过几个例子来了解它的灵活用法。

    比如我们想说领导者要有说一不二的职业作风,就可以说成:

    Great leadership calls for tough-minded professionalism.(在这里 tough-minded 就表示有“tough”这种性格的人)

    许多对学术研究有兴趣的医学生都喜欢读医学期刊《柳叶刀》(The Lancet),我们可以用 academically-minded 来表示“对学术研究有兴趣的”:

    The Lancet, a general medical journal, is highly popular among academically-minded medical students.

    《经济学人》中也常用 -minded,比如:

    And as more career-minded women have had children, they have become powerful enough to demand time off from their employers.(这里的 career-minded 可以理解为“事业心强的”)

    《经济学人》的招聘广告上也有 -minded:

    This is an opportunity to work with smart digitally-minded people fighting to keep the newspaper competitive in an ever-changing environment.(digitally-minded 指的就是“对数字媒体感兴趣的”)

    3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子:

    这个项目是为这些和学术研究相比,对运动更感兴趣的学生而设计。

    This program is designed for students who are more sports-oriented than academically-minded.

    (参考翻译:This program is designed for students who are more sports-oriented than academically-minded. )

    2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

    这款游戏的设计是为对音乐感兴趣的儿童而设计。

    This game is designed for children who are  music-minded.
