听力原文

204. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.

译文

与此相反,30到59岁之间的司机在载有乘客时出车祸的几率随着乘客的增多而减小。

点睛

本句的主干是the risk of death decreases。between 30 and 59修饰drivers;with引导伴随状语。

by contrast意为“相反”,相当于in contrast。如:

The coastal areas have mild winters, but by contrast the central plains become extremely cold. 沿海地区的冬天天气暖和,而与此相反,中部平原却会异常寒冷。

考点归纳

by contrast与in contrast含义相同,都表示“相反,大不相同”。与此含义相同的短语或者词汇还有on the contrary, conversely和oppositely,它们的区别在于:

by contrast与in contrast都只强调所比较的事物是不同的。如:

But, in contrast, it is only in modern times that Galileo has become a problem child for historians of science. 但是相比之下,对于科学史学家来说,伽利略唯有在现代才被看做是问题小孩。

on the contrary多用于观点或想法,暗示有很多不同方面的选择。如:

He is not poor, on the contrary, he is a millionaire. 他不穷,相反,他是个百万富翁。

conversely暗示所比较的两者截然相反。如:

Describe your greatest accomplishment and why it is important to you and conversely, your greatest disappointment and what you learned from that experience. 描写你最大的成就,并说明对你而言它为何重要,还要描写与此相反的你最大的失败经历以及从中得到的教训。

oppositely暗示所比较的两者之间矛盾突出而尖锐。如:

My plan for career is not single, oppositely, I tend to expand my work into diversification. 我的职业规划不是单一的,相反,我倾向于在不同的领域中开拓事业。
