一句一分析：中国女排战胜塞尔维亚

今天，听YLYK的文章，本着少就是多的原则，每次只挑一句。

On September 28, China routed Serbia 3-0 in the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup, sealing the tournament title with one match left to play and pocketing its fifth gold medal in World Cup history, an unparalleled feat.

这句话是对标题的扩展，用两个动词分词以及一个名词短语来补充中国3比0拿下塞尔维亚意味着什么。至于语言点，主要学的三个动词：rout, seal和pocket。

rout: to defeat (someone) easily and completely in a game or contest，表示“轻而易举地击败……”。

显然defeat已经不能说明程度，用rout表示defeat easily and completely，简单有力。英语是不轻易用形容词/副词的语言，只有词汇量不够的，才喜欢加此类修饰词。我就是其中之一。

1984年的洛杉矶奥林匹克运动会，美篮以97比47的悬殊大比分轻取中国队。可以说：

America routed China 97-47 in the 1984 Log Angeles Olympic Games.

seal：海豹-->咬住-->锁定

柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典

请记住一个思想而非事件决定你的命运。

Keep in mind that a thought, not an incident, will seal your destiny.

pocket：常用的是名词，表示“裤兜”。在这里，它作为动词，表示“将……纳入囊中”。

这个pocket跟前面的rout呼应，表示赢得很轻松。

去年校运动会，他将人生中的第一块奖牌纳入囊中。

Last year, he was the thrid people who crossed the final line in the 100-meter dash held by the school, pocketing his first bronze medal in his life .
