220. Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way.

译文 其中一些天才可能在校的学习成绩并不好,那是因为他们的天赋不在学术上。也许我们可以以这个方式解释毕加索的经历。

点睛 本句中,because引导原因状语从句;Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way是一个简单句;in this way是方式状语。

poorly在本句中指“糟糕地;差强人意;不足”。如:

Our candidate fared poorly in the election. 我们的候选人在选举中得票不多。

scholastic意为“学习的;学术的”。如:

He is unfitted for scholastic life. 他不适应学术生活。

account for意为“解释,说明”。如:

He'll have to account for where every cent goes. 他得说明所花掉的每一分钱的用途。

考点归纳 与account有关的短语还有:

on account of意为“由于”。如:

He was disqualified for the post on account of age. 由于年龄不合适,他无法胜任此职。

on no account意为“绝不可以,无论如何也不”。如:

On no account can we discard the banner of Mao Zedong Thought. 毛泽东思想这面旗帜丢不得。

on one's own account意为“为了自己的利益;独自”。如:

He has done all the things on his own account. 他为了自己的利益做了这一切。
