本課簡介

本文作者指出生活中有許多不確定的事物，這種種的不確定支配著我們的語言。我們的日常話語中很多 probably，many，soon，great，little一類的詞。不確定的語言主要有三類。一是如probably，possibly， surely一類詞，代表了一種主觀的可能，是可定量的。二是如many，often，soon一類詞，這類詞雖可定量，但他們表示的是一個知之不確的數 量。三是如fat，rich，drunk一類詞，這類詞不可能轉化為任何可接受的數目，因為不同的人賦予它們不同的價值觀。

在特定的上下文中，這些詞是有什么意義？與使用者的年齡有何關聯(lián)？作者告訴我們三個實驗結果。一，數量取決于所涉及的事物；二，所涉及的事物總量的大小會影響到一種說法被賦予的數值。三，年齡的影響極為明顯。

本課主要語言點

1.Uncertainty spreads through our lives so thoroughly that it dominates our language.

動詞spread的過去式和過去分詞與動詞原形是一樣的。本句中的spread意思是becomes known or shared by more and more people （散布），如：

2）He is making a lecture tour to spread his political influence. （他在作巡回演講以擴大自己的政治影響。）

3）People seem to love spreading gossip. （人們似乎愛傳閑話。）

spread這個詞還可以做名詞用，再請看幾個例子，注意spread的意思和詞類：

3）People spend their lives worrying about wealth and health. （人們一生都在為金錢和健康擔憂。）

2.Our everyday speech is made up in large part of words…

in part意為“在某種程度上；部分地”；in large part則表示“很大部分”，如：

1）Some forms of mental illness are caused in part by lack of communication. （有些形式的精神疾病部分是由于缺少交流引起的。）

2）The driver should in large part be responsible for the accident. （司機應為這起事故負大部分責任。）

2）The disease is likely to spread. （這種疾病可能會傳播。）

It is likely that the disease will spread.

forever是副詞，意思是for good， completely （永遠地），如：

1）She is forever asking to borrow something. （她沒完沒了地向人借東西。）

2）The teacher was forever spotting trivial errors in their calculations. （老師總是在他們的計算中發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤。）

that wages it是定語從句，修飾nation.Wage在本句中用作動詞，意思是start（發(fā)起，開展），如：They waged a campaign against nuclear tests. （他們開展了反核試驗運動。）

4.Lacking any standard for estimating the probability， we are left with the judgment of the editorial writer.

句中的lack 是一個及物動詞，意思是“缺乏”，lack也可用作不及物動詞和名詞，請看下面的例句，注意lack的用法。

1）He wasn't a stern man， in spite of his lack of humor. （盡管他缺少幽默感，但他不是一個苛刻的人。）

2）Lack of funding is making our job more difficult. （資金短缺使我們的工作更加困難。）

allow sb. to do sth. 意思是“允許某人做某事”，如：

1）They were allowed to stay there longer. （他們被允許在那兒時間呆長點。）

2）He allowed me to take two books. （他允許我拿兩本書。）

請注意區(qū)別out of the question和out of question：

6.…which are also quantifiable but denote not so much a condition of certainty as a quantity imprecisely known；

not so much…as…意思是“與其說…不如說…”。如：

2）His achievement was made not so much because of luck as because of hard work.（他取得的成就與其說是由于運氣，不如說是由于努力。）

7.…which can not be reduced to any accepted number because they are given different values by different people.

reduce的意思是make sth. smaller in size or amount or less in degree （減少，減輕），如：

2）The workforce would have to be reduced by 50%. （勞動力將減少百分之五十。）

reduce sb. to a particular state指處于（某種狀態(tài)）；使艱難（處境），用被動語態(tài)時，表示“迫使”。如：

1）He was reduced to begging in the old days. （在舊社會他被逼得討飯。）

2）The old lady was reduced to despair. （老太太陷入了絕望。）

在課文中的這個句子里，be reduced to意思是“使化為，使變?yōu)?rdquo;，如：

1）This kind of analysis reduce the problem to its simplest form. （這種分析方法使問題變得最為簡單。）

2）He had always wanted to reduce his thoughts to writing. （他一直想把自己的思想變成文字。）

8.We have been trying to pin down by experiments what people mean by these expressions in specific contexts，…

pin作名詞用時指“別針，大頭針”，如a safety pin （安全別針）；作動詞用時指“別住”：“使不能行動”，pin down的意思是“準確說明”，“牽制”。如：

1）He pinned a badge on his jacket. （他在外套上別了一枚徽章。）

9.…we find that the number depends of course on the items involved.
