　　四级词汇讲解:

　　此句中的the talk属于口语中动词活用成名词的现象，意为“谈论的话题”，这种用法在口语中很常见。释义时，只要在原词意思的基础上稍加变动，使其符合在句中的搭配就可以了。如:

　　1 ) There is talk of bankruptcy.有传闻说要破产。

　　2 ) He has much talk but no action.他说了一大堆空话而无实际行动。

　　3 ) His threats were just talk.他的恫吓只不过是说说罢了。

　　英语四级考点归纳:

　　※ pride在本句中是名词，意为“骄傲”。在口语中，pride还可作为动词使用，意为“使得意，使自豪;使(自己)沉迷于快乐或满意的感觉之中”，表达为 pride sb. on sth.。如:I pride myself on this beautifulgarden.我为这个美丽的花园而自豪。

　　※ 另外，pride的形容词是proud ,其用法是be proud of sth.或be proud that。

　　如:1 ) He is proud of his daughter's ability to speak four languages.他为女儿能说四 种语言而骄傲。

　　2 ) She was so proud that her son has so much talent。儿子这么有天赋令她喜不自胜。
