bank account银行账户;take sth into account 考虑,注意;on no accounts 绝不,无论如何都不;on one's account 为了某人的缘故。
【易错点】 account for的主语可以是人,也可以是表示原因的事物。如:
His headache accounts for his bad mood.
表示"解释钱的用途"时,一般用account for,不用explain。如:
You must account for every cent you've spent.
4. Well, we will have to take a chance. (P22)
【归纳】 take a chance冒一冒险, 碰碰运气, 利用一下机会。
【延伸】 get a chance = have a chance 有机会;seize the chance 抓住机会;miss a chance 错过机会;lose a chance 失去机会;give sb a chance 给某人一次机会;by chance = by accident 恰巧、碰巧、偶然意外。
【易错点】 (1)表示"冒险试做某事"时,用 take a chance on sth。如:
We will take a chance on the weather and have a party outdoors.
(2) take a chance与take the chance意思有区别,前者表"碰运气,冒险";后者是"趁机,借此机会"。
