除夕夜的这天，跟大家分享一下托福中常见容易误解意思的词组，帮助同学
虎年考托福如虎添翼！
1. Forbes’s azoic zone was entirely plausible at the time, and it
was certainly [far from the strangest] idea that was then
entertained about the deep sea.
far from the strangest = not strange at all
特别注意这边的entertain是抱持着...想法的意思，比较特别，同学可以顺
便记起来。
类似例句：
The prehistoric record of the meat-eating habits of early humans
is [far from clear] about the prevalence of scavenging.
2. This ignored the fact that water is [all but] incompressible.
all but= very nearly, almost
其他例句
We had[all but]given up hope. = We had almost given up hope.
3. This value is easily exceeded in most coastal water, but in the
deep sea, the levels of organic matter range from [next to
nothing] to around 7 micrograms per cubic liter.
next to nothing 直接翻像是“没有的隔壁”，就是almost nothing
4. Hersuccesshasn'tcausedtension- [if anything], it'shelpedour
marriage.
if anything— used when saying that whatpeoplemaybelieveis not
true, and theoppositemay betrue 带出相反的概念时可用的发语词，可翻
成“倒不如说”“恰恰相反地”
这四个都是托福很常见的用法，一定要搞清楚，不然误会了意思，影响文章
/听力理解，就很可惜囉！
虎年新年快乐！
