    1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

    词:come/get to grips with

    英英释义:to make an effort to understand and deal with a problem or situation

    例句:The executives have failed to come to grips with the real problem.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

    “come/get to grips with”是个词组,意思是“认真考虑并着手处理”。根据它的英英释义,它一方面强调认识到某事、某问题的重要性,一方面强调开始着手高效解决问题,因此它是个准确、形象的表达,在口语和写作中都可以用到。 这个词组有些长,不过用法很容易掌握,我们通过几个例子掌握它。

    特别注意:come/get to grips with 中的 grips 一定是复数形式。 当我们想表示“认识到”“处理”的时候都可以用 come/get to grips with 来替换 realize 和 deal with 这样的词。

    比如我们可以用 come/get to grips with 吐槽:

    The executives have failed to come to grips with the real problem.

    再比如政府的首要任务是处理好经济问题:

    The government's first task is to get to grips with the economy.

    《经济学人》中也经常用到 come/get to grips with,比如:

    1)Few firms have got to grips with the fact that harassment is often a symptom of bigger, subtler problems: unequal access to power and unaccountable cultures.

    2)For several years state-run banks have failed to get to grips with a $100bn mountain of dud loans.

    3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子: 政府需要处理好失业问题。

    (参考翻译: The government needs to come to grips with the unemployment problem.)

    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。
