“The consumer research manager for Mintel, Angela Hughes, said it (environmental consumerism) has become firmly established as a mainstream market. She explained that as far as the average person is concerned environmentalism has not‘gone off the boil’. In fact, it has spread across a much wider range of consumer groups, ages and occupations.”
“gone off the boil”这种表达只用于英国。许多说英语的人也不会了解,应试者可能也是同样。但如前一个例子一样,上下文可能帮助我们了解它的意思。
在密切关注连接词及它前后的词后,我们可以猜测它的意思。词组“in fact”就是好线索。例如在此句中,“in fact”让我们了解到我们所期待的情况并未发生。相反,出现的是生态消费主义(environmental consumerism—估译)的增长。那么,期待发生的又是什么呢?一定是对生态消费主义兴趣的衰退。不必完全懂得“off the boil”的含义,我们现在也知道它意味着对环境问题关注的减退。
