    1. 这是个什么词?

    词:exemplify

    英英释义:to be a very typical example of something

    例句:The city's economic growth is exemplified by the many new buildings that are currently under construction.

    2. 为什么选这个词?

    “exemplify”是及物动词,意思是“是......的范例/典型”、“反映出了”、“代表了”,是写作时举例论证的必备单词。当我们想表达 A is a typical example of B 或 A serves as a typical example of B 的时候,就可以用 A exemplifies B,可见这个词简洁、漂亮,可以实现表达的多样性,体现使用者的词汇驾驭力。下面通过几个例子来掌握这个词。

    他诠释了一个好父亲是怎么样的,可以说:

    He is a typical example of a good father.

    也可以说:

    He exemplifies a good father.

    很多在建的新建筑反映出了这座城市的经济增长,就可以说:

    The city's economic growth is exemplified by the many new buildings that are currently under construction.

    这句就相当于:

    One example/sign of the city's economic growth is the many new buildings that are currently under construction.

    这座城市的多元不仅仅体现在它的多民族上,还体现在它丰富的菜式上,就可以说:

    The city's diversity is exemplified not only by different ethnicities but also the wide range of cuisines.

    Along with people from different ethnicities, the range of cuisines further exemplifies the city's diversity.

    《经济学人》一篇关于中国资本寒冬的文章中就出现了 exemplify:

    The woes of Ofo, a bike-sharing unicorn, exemplified the sort of hubris that many reckon had spread too far in tech.(这里的意思是,Ofo 的厄运反映了很多发展过快的创业公司身上的自大)

    《经济学人》在另一篇关于终生学习的文章中也用到了 exemplify:

    This is the argument of the techno-pessimists, exemplified by the projections of Carl-Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne, of Oxford University, who in 2013 famously calculated that 47% of existing jobs in America are susceptible to automation.(这里是说,牛津大学的这两位学者的预测代表了前文说的悲观主义)

    3. 怎样学会使用这个词?

    1)翻译下面的句子:

    她充分诠释了一名优秀老师的品质。

    She perfectly exemplifies the qualities of an excellent teacher.

    (参考翻译:She perfectly exemplifies the qualities of an excellent teacher.)

    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。

    例子: 人工智能反映出了科技的进步。

    场景:The advancement of technology is exemplified by Artificial Intelligence.
