高中英語語法-“支持率”的表達法
支持率的表達法
美國11月大選近在咫尺,支持率越來越成為媒體的熱門詞匯。根據(jù)最新民意調(diào)查,在伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭、道德規(guī)范和領(lǐng)導能力等方面,民主黨的支持率均超過布什總統(tǒng)所在的共和黨。與此同時,布什和由共和黨控制的國會的支持率跌跌不休。
請看外電相關(guān)報道:President George W. Bush and Republicans are sinking under the weight of the Iraq war and the Capitol Hill sex scandal,according to a flurry of polls,endangering their control of Congress in the November 7 elections.
The latest polls give Democratic candidates a growing edge of between 13 and 23 percentage points over Republicans on the November ballot,with Bush's approval ratings dropping back into the 30s.
支持率相應(yīng)的英文表達是approval ratings,rating在這里指評估、評價,和approval 連用時常做復(fù)數(shù),如:The Gallup poll gave the Senator an 83 per cent approval ratings.(蓋洛普民意測驗結(jié)果表明這位參議院擁有83%的支持率。)
此外,rating可作等級級別(尤指軍階)、收視率,如:a ship with a rating of 200000 tons(20萬噸級的船舶);good ratings(收視率很好)。
