听力原文

207. But in the long run, too much specialization doesn't pay off.

译文

但是,从长远来看,过多的专业技能得不偿失。

点睛

本句是一个简单句。

in the long run为固定短语,意为“从长远来看”。如:

In the long run, what they have sacrificed for their children is worthwhile. 从长远来看,他们为孩子作出的牺牲是值得的。

与此形式十分相近的in the long term是介词短语,表示“在长期内;从长远观点来看”。如:

This regulation will be valid in the long term. 这一规定长期有效。

本句中的pay off意为“偿清(欠款等)”。如:

It took them three years to pay off the debt. 他们用了三年时间才还清欠债。

考点归纳

与pay有关的短语还有:

pay up意为“还清(欠款等)”。如:

I'll take you to court unless you pay up immediately. 除非你马上还清欠款,否则我要起诉你。

pay back意为“偿付;还击”。如:

He will pay back the money in monthly installments. 他将按月以分期付款的方式偿还。

He paid her kindness back with blows. 他以拳头回报她的好意。

pay attention to意为“留意”。如:

You snooze, you lose. Next time you should pay closer attention. 一不留神就会错过良机。下次要多注意了。
