例句:A happy by-product of the trip was that she found her Mr Right.

2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

“by-product”是名词,它最基本的意思是“副产品”,常用来表示“附带产生的结果”,这种结果可以是意外收获,也可能是不幸产物,因此常常可以用来替换 side effect,result 等词。我们通过几个例句掌握它的用法。

比如我们学习一门语言,顺带的好处是提升了文化意识和交流技能,就可以说:

Cultural awareness and communication skills are the by-product of learning a language.

出门旅游没想到遇到了自己的真命天子:

A happy by-product of the trip was that she found her Mr Right.

拼多多的创始人黄峥在浙江大学读书时入选了 Melton Foundation 的项目培养计划,有机会与其它国家的年轻人交流。他后来说这段经历的一个意外收获是自己很早就习惯了印度口音,对之后的学习工作都有很大帮助:

A by-product of this was that I got used to Indian English very early on. It helped tremendously later when I went to the U.S. for graduate school and work, listen to my Indian teachers and communicate with my Indian colleagues.

再读几个《经济学人》中用到 by-product 的句子:

1)Securing the crippled plant has led to a troubling by-product: tonnes of radioactive water.

2)China's economic reforms since the 1980s have actually greatly increased inequality as a by-product of rapid economic growth.

3)Restrictions on the four high-flying companies are best seen as a by-product of stricter financial regulation, says Joe Ngai of McKinsey, a consultancy.

3. 从认识到会用(作业)

1)翻译下面的句子: 失业带来的一大恶果是犯罪率上升。

(参考翻译:One of the by-products of unemployment is an increase in crime.)

2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

场景:A by-product of learning writing is to improve concentration.
