2021考研英语何凯文每日一句第一百四十一句

今天的句子：

Coronavirus has dealt the fossil-fuel industry the biggest single blow in its history, and it is clear that 2020’s plummeting demand for oil and gas is no mere flesh wound. BP’s decision last week to reset its oil price forecasts for the next three decades was the latest shock for the industry. Its forecasts of a $75-a-barrel oil price over the next 30 years were scrapped in favour of an average price of $55. The decision wiped more than $17bn from the value of its business at a stroke.

思考题：

The BP’s decision is a shock for the industry because______.

(A) it disregards the current plummeting demand.

(B) it levels the playing field by cutting down the price.

(C) it removes huge amount of value from the business.

(D)it causes another round of price decrease in no time.

词汇突破：

1. deal sth/sb a blow=deal a blow to sb 给…以打击;“使…受到伤害”

2. plummet: 下降，暴跌

3. reset:重新调整

4.flesh wound: 皮肉伤

5.scrap:废弃，取消，报废

6.in favor of=in exchange for another thing

基本含义:为获得…(前面会搭配abandon，scrap等词)

但是在具体语境中翻译很灵活。

He abandoned teaching in favor of a career as a soldier.

他弃教从军

7.wipe: 抹去，擦掉

8.at a stroke: 一下子，突然之间
