第104期:研究课题

Sometimes the student may be asked to write about his reaction to a certain book or article that has some bearing on the subject being studied.

译文：

有时，学生可能被要求写自己对与研究课题相关的某本书或某篇文章的看法。

点睛：

sometimes作句子的时间状语。asked和student是被动关系。his reaction为介词about的宾语，而介词短语to a certain book or article为reaction的后置定语。that引导的是以book or article为先行词的定语从句，其中bearing意为“关系，影响”，现在分词短语being studied为subject的后置定语。

考点归纳：

与名词bearing相关的常见短语有：

*have some/no bearing on...对…有某种／没有影响
The market fluctuations have a direct bearing on company policy．
市场波动对公司政策有直接影响。

*lose one's bearings迷失方向
I completely lost my bearings in the dark.
黑暗中我彻底迷失了方向。

*get one's bearings（藉可辨认的路标等）确定自己的位置
I'll show you around and help you get your bearings.
我会带你四处走走，帮你熟悉一下这个地方。
