听力原文

290. It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross's campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines.

译文

1997年,威尔士王妃戴安娜出访安哥拉,支持红十字会关于全面废除非人道地雷的活动,这一事件在当时引起了轰动。

点睛

when引导的是主语从句,句首的it仅为形式主语。插入语Princess of Wales是Diana的同位语;to support the Red Cross's campaign...landmines为目的状语,其中all anti-personnel landmines为介词on的宾语。

campaign for的意思是“要求(为争取)……的运动”。如:

He conducted a compaign for reform. 他领导了一场要求改革的运动。

ban on的意思是“对……的禁令”。如:

There is a total ban on smoking in the office. 办公室全面禁止吸烟。

考点归纳

有关surprise的短语有:

come as a surprise意为“出乎意料”。如:

The news that he was leaving came as a surprise to everyone. 他要离开的消息让所有人大感意外。

with/in surprise意为“吃惊地”。如:

He noticed with surprise the change in her appearance. 他吃惊地注意到了她外表的变化。

take sb. by surprise意为“出乎某人意料”。如:

The heavy rain took us all by surprise. 这场大雨让我们大家猝不及防。

take sb./sth. by surprise意为“出其不意地袭击某人(某物)”。如:
