重点解释

There was still demand for a drug还需要一些药物

demand for:对 ... 的要求； 对 ... 的需求

The heavy demand for coffee sent the price up.

大量的需求使咖啡价格上升。

The demand for coal begins to slacken off in the spring.

煤的需求在春天开始减少。

demand的用法:

1.demand作为名词时后面可以跟介词for，表示“需求”。(注意demand作为及物动词时，其后不跟介词for。)

2.demand后接that从句，从句应该要用虚拟时态，用should或shall。

He makes the demand that he shall(should) leave the place immediately.[可省略shall(should)，但决不可用leaves或left]

3.demand做动词时，不能把指被要求的人的词如him，her做宾语。

I shall demand of him to answer.(句中of不能省略。)

The weight just literally fell off of me.体重真正被我甩掉了

fall off:跌落；下降

Ripe apples are beginning to fall off the trees.

成熟的苹果开始从树上落下来了。

I no longer craved... Sugar-free Diet 7 Up.我不再渴望无糖七喜饮料

no longer:不再

近义词：no more不再
