207.a suggestion about/concerning„一项有关„的建议 208.at sb’s suggestion 按照某人的建议

209.suggestion, advice & opinion这三个词都可译作“意见”。suggestion 意为“建议”或“意见”，特指为了改进或解决问题而提出的办法，常带有“不一定正确，提出供对方参考”的意味。例如： This is merely a suggestion.211.advice 着重提意见的人比对方（或自认为）有更多的经验知识，因此可用于医生给病人的“劝告”，老工人讲给新手的“经验之谈”等。该词有时也用得比较广泛，凡是与己无关、纯粹为了帮助旁人而提出的“意见”都可译作advice。例如：

You should follow the doctor’s advice and give up smoking.212.opinion 指对事物的一般“意见，看法”。例如：He showed me a poem he had written and asked my opinion about it.213.Champagne is a luxury they can no longer afford.214.我们花不起买奢侈品的钱。We can’t afford to spend money on luxuries.215.enjoy(a)luxury 享受

例如：For the use of beginners, the book is adequate.226.enough 指“能够满足一种欲望或需要”，比较偏重数量，并可放在所形容的名词后面。例如：Are there enough apples for everyone? 227.sufficient 具有与enough相同的意思，只是更为正式，并较强调程度。

231.He acquired a knowledge of computer by careful study.232.格林先生靠做石油生意发了一笔大财。Mr.Green acquired a fortune in the oil business.233.astonish, amaze, & surprise 这三个词在表示“使„惊异”时，意义相近，一般以事物或人作主语；以人作主语时，一般用被动语态。它们的主要区别在于：

234.astonish 特指不可能解释的事发生后使人产生较强的惊异感情。astonish 表示惊异的时间较 surprise 长久。例如：They were astonished at/by the news of his escape.235.amaze 指带有迷惑或赞美的惊奇，是意义很强的词。例如：I was amazed at/by her calmness.我对她的冷静感到惊讶。（含有“钦佩”之意）

236.surprise 着重因意外之事或特殊的事而产生的突然反应。例如：Her frank answer surprised him.她坦率的回答使他感到惊讶。237.make a living by: earn money by(doing sth.)238.by a miracle 依靠奇迹；奇迹般地 239.to a miracle 奇迹般地；（好得）不可思议地 240.accomplish/perform/work a miracle创造奇迹

19.consist, compose, comprise & constitute 这几个词都是动词，都有“组成”的意思。

consist 是个不及物动词，与介词of一起连用，不可用于被动语态。consist的主语表示事物的整体，of后的宾语表示事物的组成部分。例如：Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen.水由氢和氧组成。North America consists of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.compose 的主语表示事物的组成部分，宾语表示事物的整体。但在被动语态中正好相反。例如：The United States, Canada, and Mexico compose North America.Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.comprise 用作及物动词,有两种用法:传统规则认为其主语应当为事物的整体,宾语应当为事物的组成部分,词义为“由„„组成,由„„构成”;另一种趋势是用comprise表达“组成,构成”的意思,此时其主语为事物的组成部分,宾语为事物的整体。
