语段精讲:
第一、词汇精讲
seize
双语释义:take hold of (sth) suddenly and violently

第二、写作加分短语
1. in a + adj. +voice
讲解:该短语的意思是“以......的声音”,文中用到的是in a faint voice,意思是“用微弱的声音”“以有气无力的声音”。Faint做形容词用时,可以表示“迷糊的,微弱的”意思。往期中我们总结了一个短语是in a loud voice,意思是“大声地,用响亮的声音”。
范例:John’s girlfriend said in a faint, far voice that she wanted to break up with him and she can noticed the shock in his sensitive face.
约翰的女朋友声音低沉而辽远地说要和他分手,她在他敏感的脸上看出了震惊的表情。
2. ask for
讲解:这个短语的意思是“要求,请求”。介词for表示对象。
范例:He had the audacity to ask for an increase in salary.
他竟然厚着脸皮要求增加薪水。
He ask for leave of absence to visit his mother in hospital.
他请假去探望住院的母亲。
3. shout for
讲解:这个短语表示“大声呼喊叫来某人”,介词for表示原因,因为(需要)某人(的帮助)而大声呼喊(喊叫)。介词for后面可以接somebody,也可以接something。
范例:Once more he raised his voice in a shout for help.
他又扯高了嗓门,大声叫着救命。
