　　Sat词汇重点解析

　　1、Original: Bill Gates gives a definite answer that college education does count.

　　Revised: Bill Gates gave a definitive answer: college education does count.

　　Definite意思是“明确的”、“一定的”，指意思明确，不会误解;definitive也是“明确”的意思，但往往指“权威性、最后决定的”。此话出自比尔·盖茨之口，体现权威性，故将definite改为definitive。

　　2、Original: They can foster their interests in some fields to make life more colorful and meaningful.

　　Revised: They can even pick up hobbies to make life more colorful and enjoyable.

　　Foster their interests是“培养兴趣”，此处用pick uphobbies(开始各种各样的兴趣)更为合适;不同的兴趣是我们生活的调味剂，使我们的生活多姿多彩，乐趣无穷，把meaningful换成enjoyable，与colorful搭配更合适。

　　3、Original: Another important factor that contributes to the extension of life expectancy is the development of medical science.

　　Revised: Another imortant factor that contributes to the rise in life expectancy is the development of medical science.

　　“人的寿命的延长”可以表示为life extension，但是如果用life expectancy，则要用the increast of 或the rise in life expectancy。

　　4、Original: Such experience will difinitely be helpful in children's later life.

　　Revised: Such experience will benefit them later in life.

　　Helpful是“提供帮助”的意思，而benefit是“使…受益”。这里作者想说的是孩子将来的人生会受益于这样的经历，用benefit合适，因为这样的经历不一定能对孩子将来的人生提供什么具体的帮助。
