重点讲解

一.keep down：控制；镇压；缩减
e.g.:The government tried to keep down the rebels.
政府试图镇压反叛者。
二.show around：带领…参观
e.g.:The US, home to Hollywood and the inventor of televised politics, could be counted on to produce a cliffhanger of a show around the debt-ceiling debate.
作为好莱坞的故乡和电视政治的发源地，美国在上演一场吊人胃口的债务上限争吵闹剧方面，是不会让人失望的。
三.prepare：v.预备, 准备
【语法用法】
prepare后可接双宾语。
His wife is preparing him a meal.
他老婆正在给他准备一顿饭。
prepare to do表示“因要……而作准备”，prepared to do表示“原意且有能力做什么”。
I am preparing to undertake the task.
我正为要担任这个工作作准备。
I am prepared to undertake the task.
我愿意且能够担任这工作。
同will not和cannot相比，be not prepared to的语气要来的更加婉转，常出现在公文中；
prepared后可接that从句，从句里用should。
I am prepared that my son should have a tutor.
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句: I was busy, preparing my examination.
订正: I was busy, preparing for my examination.
翻译: 我忙于准备我的考试。
分析: prepare one's lesson可表示“预备功课”，但是“准备考试”只能在prepare后加介词for表示“为……作准备。”
【例句用法】
Early experiments with military rockets prepared the ground for space travel.
早年对军用火箭进行的实验为发展航天技术奠定了基础。
He is preparing his speech for the meeting tomorrow.
他正准备明天集会的演说。
