第242句 说唱乐
the flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. levin has consistently defended the company's rap music on the grounds of expression.
译文:人们对饶舌乐(说唱乐)的焦虑使他的日子更不好过。莱文一直以言论自由为借口来为公司的说唱乐辩护。
点睛:第一句是一个简单句。句子的主语是the flap over rap,谓语是is not making,句中出现了“make+名词+形容词”的结构,其中形容词作宾语补足语。本句中的flap是个难点,意为“焦虑”,flap over rap意为“对饶舌乐的焦虑”。第二句也是一个简单句,主干是levin has defended... on the grounds of...(以某种理由或手段为某人辩护)。expression意为“言论表达”。on the ground of意为“以…为理由”。
he was dismissed on the grounds of negligence.
他因渎职而遭解雇。
n. 拍打,拍打声,片状垂悬物(口袋盖等),副翼
