66. This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well.
点睛
短语give clue to意为“给出有关……的提示、线索”,其中名词clue意为“线索,提示”,一般应与介词to连用,to引导的内容往往是听力的关键。短语sooner or later意为“迟早,早晚有一天”。
考点归纳
由sooner构成的短语常在口语中出现,常见的有:
no sooner...than...意为“一……就……,刚……就……”。如:
No sooner had I walked in the door than the phone rang. 我刚走进房门,电话就响了。
the sooner, the better意为“越快越好”。如:
"When shall I finish the project?" "The sooner, the better." “我该什么时候完成这个项目呢?”“越快越好。”
sooner rather than later意为“赶早不赶晚,及早”。如:
I'd like to see it done sooner rather than later. 我希望看到事情及早解决。
