2020何凯文每日一句第185句
今天的句子：
Widespread use of smart phone and social media has changed in no small measure our way of communication, of shopping and of learning. We used to be vocal about the benefits that new technologies brought: they will lead to unprecedented job growth, support the economy and improve the quality of our lives. But it’s hard to ignore the growing public apathy in chatting with our friends in person. Regardless of the enormous amount of photos shared on Face book, modern city dwellers grow detached from their immediate surroundings and fail to realize that codes and digits can never provide the human touch that we yearn for.
思考题：
The benefits of the new technologies are dwarfed by the growing public apathy.

再送大家一些实用的表达：(这就是诚意!)
1.vocal about the merits of sth./vocal about the benefits that sth. brings
当你想客观描述一下大众或某个群体对某种事物的积极评价时，可用此述。
比如：
Psychologists have long been vocal about the merits of the optimistic attitude.
2.sb. paint sth. as playing a leading role ...
表扬的同时需作出若干评价，则可以用这个表达。比如：
Many experts paint reading as playing a leading role in achieving great personal success.
3.but it’s hard to ignore/turn a blind eye to…
当说完一个事件的正面，要说反面时，可以用这个表达来转折。比如：
But it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the growing problems of school-weariness among students, who are fed up with test-oriented learning and drop out as soon as they have the chance.
4.Regardless of…
表示“且不论，虽然”这个让步关系时，大家也可以试着用这个短语，会显得行文更地道一些。比如：
Regardless of the great wealth amassed by elites, the hundreds of millions of people living in the countryside still struggle to get formal education for their children.
思考题：
The benefits of the new technologies are dwarfed by the growing public apathy.(A is dwarfed byB=B dwarfs A ; A因为B而相形见绌=B使A相形见绌= B大于A)
The benefits of the new technologies are dwarfed by the growing public apathy.
(新技术的好处因为公众越来越多的冷漠而相形见绌。)
这个比较是不存在的，所以是错误的!
考研惯用套路:原文没有比较，选项出现比较!
