第222句:
As an example of what's going on, consider U.S. Bancorp,which was recent sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minne80ta.
作为现在正在发生的事情的例子,考虑一下最近被明尼苏达州以欺诈行为起诉的美国合众银行。
六级词汇讲解:
本句中,as引导伴随状语;which引导定语从句,修饰U.S. Bancorp。U.S. Bancorp即“美国合众银行”,其中Bancorp为bank和corporation的合成。sue意为“起诉;控告”,常用于sue sb. for sth.这一搭配。如:
I'll sue you for libel.
我要以诽谤罪控告你。
