77. Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old.
点睛
动词raise在句中作“抚养,养育”讲。Great Depression特指美国1929年开始的经济“大萧条”。短语take its toll on sb./sth.为本句的听力难点,其意为“对某人或某事物产生严重的不良影响,造成重大损失”。短语result in意为“造成,导致”。
考点归纳
名词toll在口语中经常出现,其含义归纳如下:
意为“(道路、桥梁等的)通行费”,也可指“长途电话费”。如:
You have to pay the highway toll, or you will be fined. 你得支付高速路通行费,否则就会被罚款。
意为“伤亡人数”,常用于death toll中。如:
Death toll rises in the floods. 因洪水造成的死亡人数有所增加。
意为“(缓慢而有规律的)钟声”。如:
Can you hear the toll over there? 你能听到那边传来的钟声吗?
