1. Now he is suing the casino,charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted.
【译文】 现在他正在起诉赌场，控告赌场既然知道他赌博上瘾就应该阻止他上船赌博。
【析句】 句子比较简单，但是应该掌握句中关键的单词。
【讲词】 sue意为“控告；请求；求婚”。He sued the department store for his personal injury he had suffered when he slipped on the floor inside the store.（他起诉了那家百货大楼，要求对其在店内滑倒所受到的人身伤害进行赔偿。）The enemy sued for peace after the battle.（敌人在战斗结束以后求和。）He sued for the hand of the girl he loved.（他向自己所爱的姑娘求婚。）
charge也有“起诉”的意思，但是charge还可以表示“指责”，不一定要正式起诉某人。
patron意为“赞助人，资助人；老顾客”。patronage表示“保护,赞助,光顾”或“保护人的身份；老顾客的身份”。It seems our little establishment has finally been deemed worthy of the banks patronage.（看来银行终于认为值得资助我们这种小机构。）Shopkeepers thanked Christmas shoppers for their patronage.（店老板感谢圣诞节顾客的光临。）
addict意为“上瘾的人；瘾君子”，a cigarette addict（烟民，烟鬼），a drug addict（吸毒者）。addicted意为“上瘾；着迷”，如表示对什么上瘾或着迷，后面要跟介词to。例如：He was addicted to drugs.（他吸毒上瘾。）
2. Noting the “medical/psychological” nature of problem gambling behaviors,the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical/psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or wellbeing.
【译文】 鉴于其问题赌博行为的“医疗和心理”性质，信中表示在他出示医学和心理学证明以示光顾赌博不会对其安全和健康构成任何威胁之前，赌场不会再次对他开放。
【析句】 句子的主干是the letter said。Noting…gambling behaviors是现在分词短语作状语，宾语是一个that引导的从句。从句是一个复合句，主句是he would have to present… his safety or wellbeing，从句是before(he is) being readmitted to the casino。
【讲词】 /在英语中表示“和”的意思。
admit在句中的意思是“接纳”。
After two years in practice,he was admitted to the bar association.（从业两年以后，他加入了律师协会。）
You will not be admitted to the auditorium without a ticket.（没有票是不会让你进礼堂的。）
wellbeing表示“康乐,安宁,福利”，台湾人喜欢译成“福祉”。
We should put the people first and give priority to the people’s wellbeing.（我们应该把人民放在首位，以人民的安康为重。） |
