1. 這是個什么詞？
詞：idea
英英釋義：the aim, intention, or purpose of doing something
例句：The idea of Phenomenal English is to help students to learn how to learn and enjoy English.
2. 為什么選這個詞？
“idea”是可數(shù)名詞，我們非常熟悉它作“主意”的意思，今天來學它的另一個意思：“目的”。作這個意思它的用法比較簡單，一般會說 the idea of/behind something is，我們可以用 idea 來替換 aim 和 purppse。下面我們通過幾個例子掌握它的用法。
公司組織的這次出游目的是為了讓新員工增進對彼此的了解，可以說：
The idea behind the outing is to encourage new employees to get to know each other.
現(xiàn)象級英語的目的是讓英語學習者學會學習英語，并愛上英語，就可以說：
The idea of Phenomenal English is to help students to learn how to learn and enjoy English.
某一個撲克牌游戲的目的是把牌全部出完，可以說：
The idea of the card game is to get rid of all your cards.
下面來看《經(jīng)濟學人》中的幾個例子：
1）Dramatic make-up is likely to attract more attention from other people than it deflects from machines. HyperFace is a newer project of Mr Harvey’s. Where CV Dazzle aims to alter faces, HyperFace aims to hide them among dozens of fakes. It uses blocky, semi-abstract and comparatively innocent-looking patterns that are designed to appeal as strongly as possible to face classifiers. The idea is to disguise the real thing among a sea of false positives. （注意第五句話中的 the idea is to 和第三句話中的兩個 aim to 用法相同）
2）Haidian district, where Zhongguancun is located, recently opened a business park dedicated to fostering Chinese chip companies. The idea behind Zhongguancun IC Park (the IC stands for integrated circuit), according to Wu Chunyan, one of the park’s sales team, is that it will smooth the way for new chip companies, and not just through subsidised rents.
3）The new rules will enable managers to hire more easily from the private sector for short-term projects and longer contracts. The promotions committees will be relegated to judging contested cases. The idea is to give managers more freedom and responsibility, a change that Mr Dussopt calls “very profound”.
3. 怎樣學會使用這個詞？
1）翻譯下面的句子：
這個夏令營的目的是教會孩子如何省錢。
（參考翻譯：The idea behind the summer camp is to teach children to save money.)
2）結(jié)合自己的生活、學習、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達。先簡要描述這個場景，再造句。
例子： The idea of the project is to make more poor kids to read.
