94. You will be working with two other head brokers, in other words, you will be handling about a third of our clients.
点睛
短语work with意为“与……共事、工作”;head broker意为“经纪人经理”;in other words意为“换句话说,也就是说”,在听力中其后的内容往往是设题的关键。a third为分数表达,意为“三分之一”。
考点归纳
听力中常见的有关word的短语具体归纳如下:
have/exchange words (with sb.) (about sth.)意为“(就某事)(与某人)争吵”。如:
I had words with my mother yesterday. 我昨天和我妈妈吵起来了。
in a word意为“总之,简言之”。如:
In a word, you must make your own decision. 总之,你必须自己做决定。
keep one's word意为“遵守某人的诺言”。如:
Will you keep your word to us? 你会对我们兑现你的承诺吗?
