词汇精解:

manage:

v.管理；经营；做成；设法对付；提供；有空

deal with ,manage ,handle 这些动词或短语都含有“处理”，“对付”之意。

deal with: 既可指处理具体事情，也可指处理或解决具有抽象意义的问题。

We have no space to deal with such details.

我们没有篇幅来讨论这种细微末节。

manage: 指处理日常事务与工作，也可指经营管理。

He managed the company when his father was away.

handle: 从原义“手柄”，转引申为作“处理”解时，其内涵是管理和操纵。

语法剖析:

原文:She was what mother called "new money."
母亲说她是"新贵族"。

解析:what mother called "new money."在句中的成分是表语，所以它是一个表语从句。结构:主语+连系动词+句子作表语（表语从句）

表语从句就是用一个句子作为表语。说明主语是什么或者怎么样，由名词、形容词或相当于名词或形容词的词或短语充当。

例句:The problem is when we can get a pay rise. 　　

问题是什么时候我们可以得到加薪。 　　

注意:表语从句一定要用陈述语序。 　　

错: The question is when can he arrive at the hotel. 　　

对: The question is when he can arrive at the hotel.
