drive
今天的第一个词，是一个熟词僻义。drive，初中词汇甚至小学词汇但一般我们只会学习其“驾驶”相关的释义。但这么一个“初级”词汇，我们真正掌握了么？或许，还差一点点。（不，我不想喝果茶）
全球疫情仍在持续，世界经济复苏动力不足，大宗商品价格高位波动，外部环境更趋复杂严峻和不确定。The Covid-19 pandemic is still ongoing. The world economic recovery lacks drive, and commodity prices remain high and are prone to fluctuation. All of this is making our external environment increasingly volatile, grave and uncertain.
drive，我们可以视为动力~
如柯林斯所述：
[U] (approving) a strong desire to do things and achieve sth; great energy • 冲动；干劲；精力:
»He'll do very well—he has tremendous drive.
他会干得很出色的——他干劲冲天。
甚至再读读词典，还会发现：
1．a drive to raise funds（筹款运动），a membership drive（征求会员运动）等表达方式里的 drive 是美国英语，在英国用 campaign。drive 用作“进攻”解也是美国用法，在英国用 offensive。
2．drive（不及物动词）和 ride（不及物动词）略有不同。drive 通常是“乘完全或部分地自己管理的车”，如 He is driving in his own car, He is driving in a friend's car 和 He is driving in a hired car。**ride 通常是“乘自己并不管理的车”，如 He is riding in a bus, He is riding in a tram-car 和 He is riding in a train。**在美国 ride 也指“乘船”。例如：He is riding in a steamer. drive 和 ride 用作名词，有跟用作不及物动词同样的区别。
3．drive 是“驾驶”，drive in 是“乘坐”。例如： He is driving a car. （他正在驾驶汽车。） He is driving in a car. （他正在坐着汽车行路。）
4．He drives his own car 可能有两个含意：“他驾驶自己的汽车（不必借用别人的）”和“他自己驾驶汽车（没有司机）。” ——《葛传椝英语惯用法词典》
■drive 指驾驶四轮以上的车辆：drive a car， drive a truck等。如果是要张腿跨着骑的，如马匹、自行车、小摩托，或是不能坐着驾驶的，如踏板车（scooter），都不能说是drive，而应该说ride。即使是机动的也不例外。 ——《英语常用词疑难用法手册》
Mindful
第二个词，大体也是一个“认识”但“懒得用”的词汇。
我们要增强忧患意识，直面问题挑战，全力以赴做好工作，决不辜负人民期待！ We must be more mindful of potential difficulties, face problems and challenges squarely, make every effort to deliver a satisfactory performance, and do our utmost to live up to people's expectations.
去看看OALD7，我们可以发现，我们多了一些替代词的选择。
• ~ of sb / sth | ~ that... (formal) remembering sb / sth and considering them or it when you do sth • 记着；想着；考虑到 SYN conscious :
»mindful of our responsibilities 意识到我们的责任
»Mindful of the danger of tropical storms, I decided not to go out. 想到热带风暴的危险，我决定不出门。
再看一眼柯林斯的例句：
Mindful of the needs of its students, Cardiff has invested heavily in providing new and improved residences. 考虑到学生的需要，加的夫大学投入了巨资兴建和改善学生宿舍。
想到了什么？没错啊，considering。
◙ prep. , conj. • used to show that you are thinking about a particular fact, and are influenced by it, when you make a statement about sth• 考虑到；就…而言；鉴于:
»She's very active, considering her age. 就她的年龄来说,她是十分活跃的。
»Considering he's only just started, he knows quite a lot about it. 鉴于他才刚刚开始,他懂得的已经不少了。
»You've done very well, considering (= in the difficult circumstances).考虑到处境的艰难,你已经做得相当不错了。
是豁然开朗？还是更加迷茫？Considering为啥不是动名词啊？逻辑主语不对啊，balabala别说了看葛老先生怎么说的吧~
**considering 从现在分词转作介词，作“鉴于……”解。**例如：You write very well considering your age（就你的年龄而论，你可算写得很好）和 You write very well considering how young you are。因为是 participle，所以后面也可以接以 that 引导的从句。例如：You write very well, considering that you are so young. 有时 considering 被用作副词似的，作 considering the circumstances 解。例如：You write very well, considering.（就情形而论，你可算写得很好。） ——《葛传椝英语惯用法词典》
当然，如果细扣的话，我们还是要基于语域和实际情况选择用词~
lend
熟词僻义，再来一个Lend
完成今年发展目标任务，宏观政策要稳健有效，微观政策要持续激发市场主体活力，结构政策要着力畅通国民经济循环，科技政策要扎实落地，改革开放政策要激活发展动力，区域政策要增强发展的平衡性协调性。社会政策要兜住兜牢民生底线。To fulfill the development goals and tasks for the year, we should pursue prudent and effective macro policies, micro policies that can continuously energize market entities, and structural policies that facilitate smooth flows in the economy. Science and technology policies should be fully implemented, reform and opening up policies should lend impetus to development, regional policies should ensure more balanced and coordinated development, and social policies should meet basic living needs.
借借借，就知道借？“lend impetus to”借动力干啥？说不动的话，问问词典~
~ sth (to sb / sth) | ~ (sb / sth) sth to give or provide help, support, etc. • 给予,提供(帮助、支持等):
▪ [VN] »I was more than happy to lend my support to such a good cause. 我非常乐意给这样美好的事业提供援助。
▪ [VNN] »He came along to lend me moral support. 他来给予我精神上的支持。
come to the fore
第四个词，让我觉得，市场类稿件的表达+1+1+1~
使用1000亿元失业保险基金支持稳岗和培训，加快培养制造业高质量发展的急需人才，让更多劳动者掌握一技之长、让三百六十行行行人才辈出。A total of 100 billion yuan from the unemployment insurance fund will be used to support enterprises in maintaining stable payrolls and providing training programs, and we will speed up training of skilled workers who are urgently needed to promote high-quality development of manufacturing. These efforts will enable more workers to acquire marketable skills and large numbers of talented people to come to the fore in all sectors.
be / come to the fore
(BrE) (NAmE be at the 'fore) to be / become important and noticed by people; to play an important part• 变得重要(或突出)；起重要作用:
»She has always been to the fore at moments of crisis. 在危急时刻她总是挺身而出。
»The problem has come to the fore again in recent months. 近几个月来这个问题又成为热点。
play an important role in？还是有替代词的呀~
further
深入推进公平竞争政策实施，加强反垄断和反不正当竞争，维护公平有序的市场环境。We will further the implementation of policies to ensure fair competition and take stronger action against monopolies and unfair competition to ensure a well-ordered and fair market environment.
词性是啥？adv. adj.？再来一个，v.~
◙ verb [VN]• to help sth to develop or be successful• 促进；增进:
»They hoped the new venture would further the cause of cultural cooperation in Europe. 他们希望这个新项目将促进欧洲文化合作事业。
»She took the new job to further her career. 她接受了这项新工作以进一步发展她的事业。
再回顾：
