resign 和 re-sign 基本相似,但是意思完全不一样,给听力造成很大的困恼,其实细看一下它们还是很好区分的。一、resign 的音标是 [rɪˈzaɪn],记得是“z”,不是“s”,译为“辞职,辞去(某职务)”,常用的格式有:resign from sth 或 resign as sth,例如:He resigned as manager after eight years.Two members resigned from the board in protest.My father resigned his directorship last year.解析:若在表示时间的短语中含有 last 或 next,那么其前不用介词 at,in 或 on. resign 对应的一个短语动词 resign yourself to sth,译为”听任;只好接受;顺从“,此时的 to 是介词,后面跟名词或动名词,例如: She resigned herself to her fate. We had to resign ourselves to making a loss on the sale.You might as well resign yourself to being a poor poet. 解析:在做一件事没有更好的选择又没有理由不做的时候,我们可以使用 might as well 和 may as well 来表达最容易或是最符合逻辑的行动。它们都是非正式的表建议的说法,might as well 更为普遍。二、re-sign 的音标是 [reɪ saɪn] 中间有横杆,译为”重签,重新签名“,通常指再次签署合同,例如: I re-sign my current job because I love it.Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani was overjoyed to re-sign Shevchenko.米兰首席执行官阿德里亚诺加利亚尼对于签下舍甫琴科感到非常高兴。The full-back's refusal to re-sign cost the club its best player and forced the manager to resign.这位后卫拒绝续约,使俱乐部失去了最好的球员,迫使经理辞职。
