我们把孩子们看成了物品,以其外表和成就自豪,而不是从尽力满足孩子的最大兴趣出发做事。
点睛本句的主干是we treat them as objects, rather than serve the best interests of the children。whose appearance and...be proud of是定语从句,修饰objects;其中,we can be proud of是省略了引导词that的定语从句,修饰先行词something。
考点归纳serve意为“为……服务;能满足……需要”。与serve有关的其他短语还有:
serve the time意为“随波逐流”。如:
You'd better work harder and identify your own style, or you just serve the time. 你最好再努力些,找到属于自己的风格,否则你只不过是在随波逐流。
serve the turn意为“适用”。如:
Since it's raining outside now, this umbrella may serve your turn. 外面下雨了,这把伞你应该能用到。
serve out意为“分配,分给”。如:
Would you please serve out the soup for us? 请给我们盛一下汤,好吗?
