    如何用小词“concern”写出精彩句子?经济学人小词大用!

    Joy高斋翻译 

    这篇外刊精读是腾讯20周年纪念日经济学人报道的中国互联网巨头之间的博弈,“高斋外刊双语精读”今天给大家分享小词大用!适合MTI,CATTI和考研英语备考学习。

    《经济学人》在11月8日的一篇报道中,在提到腾讯面临的两大问题时,用了这样一个词concern,现在让我们看看原文是怎么说的。

    Two concerns are particularly acute. Because its games have done so well, Tencent has been lackadaisical in monetising other parts of its business.

    参考译文:有两个问题尤其突出。由于游戏业务战绩彪炳,腾讯对于从其他业务上赚钱直漫不经心。

    通过阅读《经济学人》,我们可以发现,在这句话中,concern用作n.,意为“令人担忧的事实(或情况) ;A concern is a fact or situation that worries you.

    再举个例子,《经济学人》在一篇论及不良借贷对欧洲经济的影响时,说道 :Bad loans remain a concern in Italy and across southern Europe.

    不良贷款仍是意大利及整个南欧极为关注的问题。

    现在,全球气候变暖问题日益引发国际社会的关注,如果让你写一篇关于环境保护的作文,大家就可以套用这个句式:Global climate warming remains a concern in the international community.

    如果拓展一下concern这个词,就会发现它是一个用法很广的多义词。

    concern作为名词,还可以表示“关心、关切、关注”;

    比如,cnn曾报道过这样一条新闻:

    We learned Tuesday that health care is a big concern for voters, with exit polling from CNN.

    周二,我们从cnn获悉,出口民调显示医疗是选民们普遍关注的问题。

    再如,财富中文网在一篇关于中国贫困人口状况的文章里,有这样一句话

    You'll know by how they express concern and empathy for them, their family, their situation.

    听听他们怎么表达对这些人及其家庭和处境的关心和同情,你就能作出判断。

    我们在写作中也可以套用这一表达,比如在表达对弱势群体的关注时,我们就可以说:

    It is of great importance to express concern for vulnerable groups in the era of building a harmonious society.

    concern作为动词,意为“ 使担忧;使心烦 ;与…有关;涉及”;

    比如,cnn在报道特朗普对媒体的反感态度时,说道:

    President Donald Trump suggested he was still concerned about the conglomeration of media outlets under one corporate head.

    特朗普总统表示他仍然担心在一家公司领导下形成的媒体集团。

    再如《经济学人》

    IF further proof was needed that the euro crisis has ended as far as bond markets are concerned, it was provided by Ireland’s successful bond auction on January 7th.

    如果需要进一步的证据证明,就债券市场而言,欧元危机已经结束,那么爱尔兰1月7日成功进行的债券拍卖就足以证实这一点。

    as far as … is concerned是个常用的词组,我们在写作中,可以用as far as I‘m concerned来表达自己的态度、观点,比如:

    As far as I'm concerned, I like to work in shanghai.

    就我而言,我喜欢在上海工作。

    有关concern的固定短语和习语

    as/so far as sb/sth is concerned 关于、至于、就…而言

    be concerned about/over 关心、担心、忧虑

    have a concern in/with 与…有利害关系

    of much concern 很重要、很有关系

    It is no concern of mine. 这不关我的事
