1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

词:godsend

英英释义:a very helpful or valuable event, person, or thing

例句:With her strong work ethic and can-do attitude, Sherry is a godsend for Phenomenal English.

2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

“godsend”字面的意思是“上帝派来的”,也就是我们常说的“天赐之物”,常常用来表示非常有帮助的人或物,在有些语境中有“雪中送炭” “及时雨”的意思。

当我们想说一个人或物非常有帮助时,除了想到可以用“very helpful”,还可以试试用“godsend”。比如我们可以用它来夸人:

With her strong work ethic and can-do attitude, Sherry is a godsend for Phenomenal English.

“godsend”后面的介词可以用 for 也可以用 to。我们如果读到了一本好书,对自己很有帮助,就可以评论这本书是个“godsend”,比如 American Accent Training 就是一本改善发音的好书:

American Accent Training is a real godsend for anyone seeking to reduce their accent.(注意这里的 their 是替换 his or her 的用法)

《经济学人》在讨论儿童节目日益增多时,在副标题中就用到了“godsend”:

Children's television is booming, which is a godsend to some parents and a growing worry for others.

3. 从认识到会用(作业)

1)翻译下面的句子: 

对平摊账单来说,微信支付是个不可多得的好工具。 

WeChat Pay is a godsend tool for splitting bills.

(参考翻译:When it comes to splitting the bill, WeChat Pay is a godsend.) 

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。

场景:ipad笔是记笔记不可多得的好工具

造句:IPAD pencil is a godsend tool for taking notes.
