要能跑一英里需要他三个月。

cope, contend, fight这组词的共同意思是“争斗”。其区别在于:

1.contend表示与某人对峙或对立的争斗,侧重指压倒对方的欲望或所作出的努力; cope指均等之势的抗衡、对抗,也可指面临灾难、困难或变故等; fight指精神方面的战斗及用拳头或用武器进行打斗,强调体力和勇气。

2.contend和cope多用作不及物动词,后常接介词with; 而fight除可用作动词外,也可用作名词。

So the Life team joins research scientists for survival training,to prepare them for any situation.所以制作团队和科学研究员一起接受求生训练,为所有的突发状况做好准备

prepare for为 ... 做准备
