太空城因自身旋转所产生的轻微引力能使太空游客和驻留者在太空城内正常行走和活动。


六级词汇讲解:

allow意为"允许,准许"。如:
The employees of this、firm are allowed to anticipate their salary.

这家公司允许员工提前支用薪水。


function在句中作动词,意为"活动;起作用"。如:
Japanese schools teach skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group.

日本的学校教给孩子坚韧、专注的品质和作为成员在团队中发挥作用的能力。

我承认她的解释是合理酌。


let作"允许"讲时,常暗含"听任"、"默许"之意,较口语化,语气最弱。如:
