研讨生考试下周就要初步，今日咱们学习的是来自 2022 年考研真题中的三个金牌写作短语，期望能 到我们。
01
a crop of
as the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what generation z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.
译文：在最新一批学生填写本科请求表，斟酌备选学校之时，以下疑问或许值得思考：大学学位的意义、意图和价值究竟已发生怎样的改动？z 代代翻开教育旅程第三期间时需要思考哪些要素?
▍拆骨干
as the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what generation z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.
这句话不只长，骨干也常，但全体规划却比照简略。骨干前后别离是 as 引导的时刻状语从句，最初的 as 从句意思是「在最新一批学生填写本科请求表，斟酌备选学校之时」，结束 as 从句的主语 they 指代的是前面的 generation z，即咱们在此前精读文章中多次遇到的「z 代代」。
再来分析骨干。整个的句型可以归纳为 it may be worth doing sth 「值得做某事」。在consider 后边别离呈现了 how 和 what 规划，作用是啥呢？作 consider 的宾语。所以准大学生们在入学前需要思考两件事，别离是：
① 大学学位的意义、意图和价值究竟已发生怎样的改动？
② z 代代翻开教育旅程第三期间时需要思考哪些要素?
a crop of sb/sth
好，如今咱们来说短语。crop 的「庄稼」之义为咱们所熟知。咱们种庄稼时会把种子撒在一亩或许几十、数百亩地上，所以庄稼一般是大片存在的，而不是孤立的个别。因而，crop 构成的短语 a crop of sb/sth 就有了「一群人，一连串作业」。比方，a new crop of students「一批重生」，a crop of disasters「一连串灾害」。
▍动笔写
假定需要写跟「气候变暖」这个主题有关的文章，咱们在描述有许多极点气候接连呈现时，可以用 a crop of 来润饰，替换常用的 many, a lot of, plenty of 等等。

exacerbated by climate change, a crop of extreme weather events has become still more common.

受气候改变的严峻影响，极点气候变得愈加广泛。

02
weigh up
as the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what generation z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.
译文：在最新一批学生填写本科请求表，斟酌备选学校之时，以下疑问或许值得思考：大学学位的意义、意图和价值究竟已发生怎样的改动？z 代代翻开教育旅程第三期间时需要思考哪些要素?
这个语句还呈现了另一个重要短语 weigh up，标明 to consider something carefully so that you can make a decision about it「细心思考，权衡」。或许，咱们也可以去掉 up，直接用 weigh 来标明 consider。
2021 年《经济学人》在评价美国经济体现时说到 weigh up the specific costs and benefits 这个分配，意思是「衡量具体本钱和收益」。

economists will continue to weigh up the specific costs and benefits of those policies. a true evaluation will take some time.

经济学家还将持续衡量这些方针的具体本钱和收益。要得出真实的评价还需时日。

拓宽内容：weigh a against b
除了 up 外，weigh 也可以和 against 分配，意思不变。咱们常常需要在作文中标明「权衡利害」，给自个三秒时刻，想想这个表达大约怎么写呢？答案是： weigh the advantages against the disadvantages ，或 weigh (up) the advantages and disadvantages 。留心，前者有两个定冠词。
其间的 advantage 和 disadvantage 也可以替换成 pluses 和 minuses 。这两个名词也可以别离指「优点」和「害处」。

we have to weigh the benefits of the scheme against the costs.

咱们有必要把这个方案的优点和费用放在一同进行权衡。

▍动笔写
「整形手术」一方面让我们满足了爱漂亮的期望，另一方面也带来了安康风险，所以谈到这个论题，咱们必定得环绕利害谈论谈论对吧？

when it comes to cosmetic surgery, it’s rational to weigh the pluses and minuses since it will have permanent consequences for both physical and mental health.

谈到整容手术，咱们应理性地权衡利害，因为手术将对身体和精力安康发生耐久性的影响。

03
over the course of …
it has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfilment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers.
译文：据估量，科技带来的压力、关于自我完成和作业多样性的盼望会使这代人在其作业生计中效能于 17 家不一样的雇主，从事 5 种不一样类型的作业。
标明「某段时刻内」，咱们第一反应是用 during the period，除此之外，你还可以用上另一个短语——over the course of sth。这儿的 course 是个「熟词生义」，不再标明「进程」，而是 a period of time or process during which something happens「进程，时期」。除了 over 外，你相同可以用 in 或许 during 来跟 course 做火伴，不过，over 和 in 运用频率要更高一些。

in the course of the 1930s steel production in britain approximately doubled…

在 20 世纪 30 年代

，英国的钢铁产量几乎翻了一番。

本年《经济学人》写了一篇有关电竞竞赛的文章，其间说到了《英豪联盟》季中冠军赛。标明「在曩昔三周中」，作者用的是 over the course of three weeks 来替代 in the past three weeks 。

a dozen teams had been competing over the course of three weeks to show off their skills at league of legends (lol), an online strategy-fantasy game.

在之前三周的时刻里，十几支参赛部队轮流对战，一展他们在 lol 这款战略网络游戏中的特别身手。

拓宽内容：in the course of doing sth
当 of 后边加上 doing sth，那么这个短语就有另外一层意思，即「在做某事的进程中」。咱们可以用来干嘛呢？当你不想用 when 引导的时刻状语从句，期望独出机杼时，就可以用 in the course of doing sth。一同读一读下面的例句。

in the course of researching customer needs, we discovered how few families have adequate life insurance.

= when we are researching customer needs, we discovered how few families have adequate life insurance.

在研讨客户需要的进程中，咱们发现很稀有家庭投保了满足的人寿险。

▍动笔写
2022 年英语一的主题是「广泛学习常识」，这关于咱们的自个生长很有协助，咱们可以用 over the course of 和 life 分配，写出下面的语句：

over the course of one’s life, acquiring knowledge extensively plays a vital role in personal growth.

在人的终身中，广泛获取常识在自个生长中起偏重要作用。
