新概念英語第四冊知識點總結：The sporting spirit

6-2. Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce if from general principles.

【譯文】人們即使不能從具體的事例(如1936年奧運會)了解到國際運動比賽會導致極度仇恨，也能從常理中推出結論。

【講解】that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred作know的賓語。one泛指人，可譯為“人們”。it指international… hatred。

【單詞和短語】

concrete：具體的;確實的(definite and specific)，

例如，

a concrete proposal/example 具體的建議/例子

Money is concrete and wealth is abstract.

錢是具體的，財富是抽象的。

concrete的反義詞是abstract。

concrete 亦可做名詞，常見意為“大理石”。

orgy：無節(jié)制行為(an orgy of sth. used emphasize that people suddenly do a lot of a particular activity)，

例如：

an all-night orgy of reading 徹夜的盡情閱讀

an orgy of looting and burning 大肆搶劫并縱火的暴行

hatred：仇恨;敵意;憎惡(an angry feeling of extreme dislike for sb. or sth.)，

例如：

have /nurse a ferocious hatred of/for sb. 對某人懷有深仇大恨

utter one’s hatred against the enemy 說出對敵人的憎恨

deduce：演繹;推論;推斷(to use the knowledge and information you have in order to understand sth or form an opinion about it)，

例如：

From his conversation, she deduced that he had a large family.

她從他的談話中推斷出他家里人口多。

deduce聯(lián)想到deduction(演繹法)、induce(歸納)和induction(歸納法)。
