  Average income for a household of people of working age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a row.

  相反,工薪阶层家庭的平均收入已经连续五年下降了。

  六级词汇讲解:

  本句是个简单句,主干是...income...has fallen...。for引导的介词短语for a household ofpeople ofworking age作定语修饰lncome,by contrast为插入语。

  by contrast意为“相反;相比之下”。如:

  Lucy seems prettier by contrast with her sister.

  露西与她妹妹相比似乎更美些。

  in a row意为“连续;成一排”。如:

  This is the fifth day in a row that it's snowed.

  这是接连第五天下雪了。

  六级考点归纳:

  与by contrast意思相近的短语还有:

  by contrast with意为“和……形成对照;和……比起来”,后接名词或名词短语。如:

  By contrast with his peer, Tom is much more intelligent.

  和同龄人比起来,汤姆要聪明得多。

  by comparison意为“相比之下”。如:

  Beijing is larger by comparison.

  相比之下,北京比较大。

  on the contrary意为“正相反,恰恰相反”。如:

  On the contrary, the housing price keeps going up after the reform.

  正好相反,改革后,房价持续上涨。

  The fire saved us the agony of deciding what to keep and what to get rid of.

  那场大火为我们省去了决定什么东西应该抛弃、什么东西应该留下来的烦恼。

  六级词汇讲解:

  本句中,两个what引导的名词性从句作decide的宾语。save常作“挽救;节约”之意。如:

  1) The doctor managed to save his life.医生设法救了他的命。

  2) Children should leam to save.孩子们应学会节约。

  save在本句中意为“省去”。agony意为“(极度的)痛苦”。如:

  The boxer folded up in agony.

  那名拳击手痛苦地倒下了。

  六级考点归纳:

  get rid of意为“摆脱;除去”,remove也有类似的含义,二者的区别在于:

  get rid of强调“摆脱(使人困扰的东西、情感等)”。如:

  I wish I could get rid of this cold; it's been hanging about for two or three days now.

  我希望能摆脱这场感冒;两三天来,它一直困扰着我。

  remove主要表达“移走,搬走”的含义,多用于具体的物体。如:

  Our office has removed to Shanghai from Beijing.

  我们的办公室已从北京迁至上海。
