António Guterres's election as UN Secretary-General was not a surprise for many as he was the first Portuguese to run the United Nations in its 71-year history.
该题需要把握英语中指代性替换词语的意义,原话 在 finally elected as UN Secretary-General之后,使用的the victory,就是对其意义的替代性表达.。词语的指 代性替换在英文中是一个频繁出现的情况,中文则使用比较少,而词语重复比较多。 认识这两种语言在这方面的差异,并在平时加强对各种指代性词语的理解非常重要。
[重点难点]
the victory可以替换为this victory,指前面刚听到的finally elected as UN Secretary-General 。
[录音原文]
António Guterres, the former Portuguese prime minister was finally elected as UN Secretary-General. The victory was surprising, because there was widespread sentiment this year that it was time for a woman to run the organization for the first time in its 71-year history.
