2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“juggle”是動(dòng)詞,它的基本意思是“玩雜耍指連續(xù)向空中拋接多個(gè)物體”,因此也常用來(lái)表示“同時(shí)兼顧“,是個(gè)好玩、形象、實(shí)用的小詞。當(dāng)我們想表示“一邊要(做某事)… 一邊還要做(某事)“時(shí),就可以用到 juggle。我們通過(guò)幾個(gè)例句掌握它的用法。
比如 Mike 努力工作,盡可能兼顧工作和家庭:
Mike works hard to juggle work and family demands.
許多人來(lái)大城市打工,他們要不僅要養(yǎng)活自己,還要給家里寄錢(qián):

1)Flexible schedules help parents who want to juggle work and child care.
2)His diplomatic skills will help him juggle relations with Kazakhstan's mighty neighbours, Russia and China, as well as the West.
3)A farmer must constantly juggle a set of variables, such as the weather, his soil’s moisture levels and nutrient content, competition to his crops from weeds, threats to their health from pests a
