这是个什么词？

词：exposure

英英释义：the chance to experience new ideas, ways of life, etc

例句：His business trip to the US in 1995 gave Jack Ma early exposure to the Internet.

2. 为什么选这个词？

“exposure”是不可数名词，有“揭发、暴露、照片曝光、报道”等意思。除此之外，它还有个非常常见、地道、好用的用法：表示“体验、接触”。作这个意思讲，它后面一般接介词 to， 也就是 exposure to something。我们来看几个例句。

比如，马云是在 1995 年去美国出差时最早接触到互联网，就可以说：

His business trip to the US in 1995 gave Jack Ma early exposure to the Internet.

很多北欧人（比如瑞典人）的英语很好是因为他们从小就可以很容易接触到英语电影和电视节目，我们就可以说：

Many Nordics speak good English because of their exposure to English-language movies and TV shows from an early age.

之前采访一个母语英语的菲律宾朋友怎么看待英语语法学习，他是这么回答的：

Grammar is the foundation of English proficiency. There’s just no way around it. For a student whose English is a second language, he or she has to master the rules and know when to break them. It takes time and exposure.

这里的“exposure”就是要多多接触、不断练习的意思。

另外，exposure 的动词形式是 expose，上面的几个例句也可以用 expose 改写。比如第一个有关马云的例句还可以写成：

Jack Ma was first exposed to the Internet when he took a business trip to the US in 1999.

3. 怎样学会使用这个词？

1）翻译下面的句子：

是那次德国之旅让她接触到了德语。

（参考翻译：The visit to Germany gave her exposure to the language. 或 It is the tour of Germany that gave her exposure to German.）

作业:

1.是那次德国之旅让她接触到了德语。

The visit to Germany gave her exposure to the German.

2.Gaven exposure to one language is the method to learn a foreign language.
