美思英语精读:
美国前First Lady,Michelle 自传,年度畅销书《Becoming》112节:
What I knew at the time was that my dad moved a bit more slowly than other dads.
I sometimes saw him pausing before walking up a flight of stairs, as if needing to think through the maneuver before actually attempting it.
词汇解释:
think sth through:
to carefully consider the possible results of doing something
maneuver:
/məˈnuː.vɚ/
在文章句子里出现的maneuver,词性是名词,因为词前有定冠词the。
做名词时,剑桥字典的英文解释是:
a movement or set of movements needing skill and care
(需要技巧和小心的动作或者一系列动作)
这里Michelle说:.在怕楼梯前父亲需要停住pausing,好像要仔细想想maneuver,在的爬楼前。
我们可以想到这里的maneuver就是父亲爬楼梯的动作,这些动作当然要非常care和需要special skill,因为父亲的腿上的疾病。
所以maneuver做名词时的一个真实意思通过文章的背景,你可以具体知道。
