1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

词:determine

英英释义:to control what something will be

例句:What you look like determines how people treat you.

2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

我们很熟悉“determine”常用来表示“下决心”“决定”的用法,今天我们学习它的另一常见地道用法:表示“是…的决定因素”“取决于”。我们可以用 determine 的这个用法在口语和写作中替换 depend on。

《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》中的 depend on 有这样一个例句:

   

The cooking time needed depends on the size of the potato.  (所需的烹饪时间取决于土豆的大小。) 

我们可以用 determine 把它改写为:

The size of the potato will determine the cooking time.   

我们常说“颜值就是王道”,说可以说成:

What you look like determines how people treat you.   

最后看两个《经济学人》中出现的例句:

1)The scale of the revolt will determine what happens next.   

2)For instance, on Air India, the country's state-owned flag carrier, who you know can apparently determine where you sit.

3. 从认识到会用(作业)

1)翻译下面的句子:   

价钱取决于你买多买少。

(参考翻译:How much it costs is determined by how much you buy. 或者  The quantity purchased determines the price.)

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: 父母的眼界决定孩子的成长高度。

场景 Parent's horizon determines the height  of child development.
