    1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

    词:far-fetched

    英英释义:difficult to believe because it is very unlikely

    例句:Without timely and appropriate feedback, it is far-fetched to suggest that practice makes perfect.

    2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

    “far-fetched”是形容词,最常见的意思是“难以置信”“牵强附会的”,因此可以常用来替换 unbelievable, unlikely 等词形容一个观点或想法。far-fetched 是口语和写作中都可以用到的好词,我们通过几个例子掌握它的用法。

    网上总有一些为博眼球的阴谋论:

    The conspiracy theory sounds bizarre and far-fetched.

    比如我们看了个动作片,打斗画面非常精彩,不过故事情节很离谱,就可以评论说:

    The movie is action-packed and exciting, but the storyline strikes many as far-fetched.

    我们常说“熟能生巧”,但是如果缺乏及时、有效的反馈,恐怕熟并非能生巧:

    Without timely and appropriate feedback, it is far-fetched to suggest that practice makes perfect.

    《经济学人》中也经常用到 far-fetched,比如:

    1)Just a few years ago the notion of using a computer to deliver television seemed far-fetched.

    2)Speculating about the future, even if it is far-fetched, can help people and institutions cope with what comes next.

    3)The idea that HBS is responsible for the ills of Western civilisation is far-fetched. (HBS指的是哈佛商学院,Harvard Business School)

    3. 从认识到会用(作业)

    1)翻译下面的句子:月球旅行的想法看来未必不能实现。

    The idea of travelling to the moon may not seem to be so far-fetched.

    (参考翻译:The thought of traveling to the moon no longer seems so far-fetched.)

    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

    造句:Without the encouragement from her supervisor and her schoolmates, it seems far-fetched for Alice to finish her dissertation in 10 days.
