听力原文

255. While I might adapt my list to what's on sale—maybe swap out a movie title or choose a different video game based on what is available.

译文

而我或许会根据促销情况来调整自己的清单——可能根据可选择的物品来换掉一部电影,或是选择一款不同的电子游戏。

点睛

本句的主干是I might adapt list。句首的while表示与前文内容的轻微转折关系;破折号之后的内容是对adapt的具体说明,其中based on what is available为swap out和choose的状语,而what is available是介词on的宾语从句。

adapt...to的意思是“使……适应、适合”。如:

It took me quite a while to adapt myself to the new surroundings. 我花了好一阵子时间才适应新的环境。

on sale此处的意思是“折价销售,减价出售”。如:

All instruments are on sale today and tomorrow. 所有乐器今明两天降价出售。

swap out的意思是“换掉”。如:

Many high schools swap out textbooks this year. 今年许多中学都换了教材。

考点归纳

sale意为“销售,出售”,与其相关的常见短语有:

make a sale意为“卖出,做成一笔买卖”。如:

Every time you make a sale, you will get $20 commission. 你每做成一笔生意就会得到20美金的佣金。

for sale意为“待售”。如:

They put their old house up for sale. 他们着手出售自己那栋老房子。

on sale还可指“上市,出售”。如:

Tickets are on sale from the booking office. 售票处正在售票。
