玛丽亚:通常警示灯亮了之后,车子还剩5 加仑油。

亨 利:真的?有那么多吗?

玛丽亚: 当然了。如果加油会让你觉得踏实点儿,我们就在街角那个埃克森加油站停下来加油好了。

亨 利:好主意。

玛丽亚:我完全相信我们有足够的油供我们开回家。

亨 利:相反,我特别担心汽车会在高速公路上中途没油。

经 典 释 疑

On the contrary, I feel so worried that my car will run out of gas on themiddle of the highway. 相反,我特别担心汽车会在高速公路上中途没油。on the contrary: 相反地。这是一个固定搭配,后面需要加逗号,on the contrary 是指相反的两个方面。同样是做比较,on the other hand这个短语是指一方面和另一方面的比较。例如:He is not poor, on thecontrary, he is a millionaire. 他不穷,相反,他是个百万富翁。
