第111句:

By capping her grades at 94 while most other teachers grade on a scale that tops out at 100,your teacher could jeopardize a student's chance of getting a scholarship or getting into a top college.

如果你的老师将最高分数定在94分,而其他大多数老师评分范围的最高分是100分,那么她这样做可能会危及学生得到奖学金或进人名牌大学的机会。


六级词汇讲解:

本句的主干是…teacher could jeopardize...chance…。句首的介词短语By capping…是句子的方式状语,其中while引导的是比较状语从句,that引导的是scale的定语从句。由or所连接的getting a scholarship和getting into a top college是介词。f的并列宾语。

1. cap在句子中作动词,意思是“规定限度”。如:
This kind of mortgage is capped.
此类按揭被规定了额度。

2. top out的意思是“以……为顶点;封顶”。如:

Interest rates topped out at 4 percent.
利率在百分之四封顶。

3. jeopardize的意思是“使受到伤害、损失;使陷于险境”。如:

The security of the operation has been jeopardized by one careless person.
作业安全让一个粗心大意的人给破坏了。
