1. 认识这个词(基础篇)




词:frown




英英释义:to not approve of something




例句:This practice is frowned upon as being wasteful.




2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)




“frown”是个动词,最基本的意思是“皱眉”,常常用来表示“不赞成”。当 frown 用于表示“不赞成”时,后面常接介词 upon 或者 on,我们常可以用它替换 disapprove,disagree,dislike 等词,这也是外刊中的高频、形象的词汇。我们通过几个例子掌握它的用法。




比如近几日 90 后创业者孙晨宇花了 456 万美元拍得和巴菲特共进午餐,之后引发热议,许多人认为他是以“发空气币割韭菜”发家,称他是骗子。我们可以用 frown 造句为:




That Justin Sun struck it rich with cryptocurrency has been frowned upon.




网上有许多美食博主在拍摄美食时,往往会点很多菜,最后并没有吃上几口,许多网友认为这种做法是浪费食物。我们可以说:




This practice is frowned upon as being wasteful.




《经济学人》中也经常用到 frown on/upon,比如:




1) Most African leaders still frown on homosexuality.




2)Recruiters may also frown upon messy handwriting, body piercings and tattoos, even though these have no bearing on people's ability to do particular jobs.




3)President Rodrigo Duterte has encouraged his citizens to murder drug-dealers, something that is generally frowned upon in Britain.

3. 从认识到会用(作业)

1)翻译下面的句子:

许多老师不赞成这样的做法。

(参考翻译:Many teachers frown on such practices.)


作业:

1.许多老师不赞成这样的做法。

2.她不赞成他这种不负责任的做法。
