長難句：now he is suing the casino,charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted.

重點(diǎn)詞匯：sue，charge，patron，addict

■答案■

1、長難句翻譯：現(xiàn)在他正在起訴賭場，控告賭場既然知道他賭博上癮就應(yīng)該阻止他上船賭博。

分析：句子比較簡單，但是應(yīng)該掌握句中關(guān)鍵的單詞。

2、重點(diǎn)詞匯： sue意為“控告；請求；求婚”。he sued the department store for his personal injury he had suffered when he slipped on the floor inside the store.（他起訴了那家百貨大樓，要求對其在店內(nèi)滑倒所受到的人身傷害進(jìn)行賠償。）the enemy sued for peace after the battle.（敵人在戰(zhàn)斗結(jié)束以后求和。）he sued for the hand of the girl he loved.（他向自己所愛的姑娘求婚。） charge也有“起訴”的意思，但是charge還可以表示“指責(zé)”，不一定要正式起訴某人。 patron意為“贊助人，資助人；老顧客”。patronage表示“保護(hù),贊助,光顧”或“保護(hù)人的身份；老顧客的身份”。it seems our little establishment has finally been deemed worthy of the banks patronage.（看來銀行終于認(rèn)為值得資助我們這種小機(jī)構(gòu)。）shopkeepers thanked christmas shoppers for their patronage.（店老板感謝圣誕節(jié)顧客的光臨。） addict意為“上癮的人；癮君子”，a cigarette addict（煙民，煙鬼），a drug addict（吸毒者）。addicted意為“上癮；著迷”，如表示對什么上癮或著迷，后面要跟介詞to。例如：he was addicted to drugs.（他吸毒上癮。）
