2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)
“strike”这个词的用法很多,今天我们学习的是 strike 的一个高频用法,表示“给…印象”“让…觉得”。当 strike 表示这个意思时,常用的形式是 strike someone as。我们通过几个例子掌握它的用法。
当我们想表达“我觉得…”时,除了用最常见的 I think… 外,就可以用 strike。比如口语中我们想说“你觉得她怎么样?”“我觉得很奇怪”,就可以说成:
How did she strike you? (你觉得她怎么样?)
It strikes me as odd.(我觉得很奇怪。)
He struck me as a very serious but friendly person. (他让我感觉他是一个十分严肃但友好的人。)
马云在阿里巴巴集体婚礼上说工作上要有“996”的精神,生活上要“669”,还说“婚姻的第一 KPI 是生孩子”。这一言论让许多人认为粗俗、觉得被冒犯:
That Jack Ma encourages newlyweds to follow “669” and have more kids strikes many as vulgar and offensive.
《经济学人》中也经常出现 strike…as,比如:
1)Ms Wojcicki, in contrast, strikes even some critics as the “good CEO” of the social-media giants, the one with a soul.
2)Google's and Facebook's tools for targeting users strike advertisers as a more efficient, scalable way to reach specific audiences.
