　　英文原文

　　C4T4P 1: How Much Higher? How Much Faster?

　　中文翻译

　　知识点小结

　　1.“名词1+of+名词2”(此处的“a simple or mundane thing of higher，faster，longer”)的结构我们经常遇到。这个结构中名词1和名词2之间的关系主要有三种：第一种是名词2作名词1的定语，比如the city of China，China修饰city，我们可以改成China's city;第二种是名词2是名词l的同位语，如the city of Beijing，就是北京市的意思，两者不存在修饰关系;第三种一般是在数量词的表达中，比如a group of、a majority of、a lot of等。前两种情况核心词都是名词1，所以遇到这个结构，尤其是名词部分比较长时，可以先抓住名词1，再回头看名词2的内容。最后一种情况，核心词是名词2，因为名词1比较抽象。此处“a simple or mundane thing of higher，faster，longer”属于第一种情况，意思“更高，更快，更远的事”。

　　2.当enter表示“进入某个具体的处所、加入某个组织、参加某场考试”时，无须介词，但表示“开始做某事，达成(协议)，懂得，领会，输入/写入(信息)”时，通常加上介词into。此处enter表示“写入”的意思。

　　3.variable表示“变量，可变因素”，equation表示“方程式”。

　　4.a long way to go是一个很常用的表达，表示“仍需付出很多努力，还有很长的路要走”。大家在写作中也可以借鉴。比如：Now governments are taking actions to deal with envirmental problem，but they still have a long way to go.(政府现在正在采取措施处理环境问题，但还有很长的路要走。)

　　参考翻译

　　核心成绩不是一个简单或平凡的更高、更快、更远的问题。有很多变量要写入这个方程式中，而且我们对很多事物的理解都还很基础。我们还有很长的路要走。
