✅ present itself
含义(书面/高考阅读高频短语)
(机会、问题、困难)出现,显现,降临
present 这里是动词 /prɪˈzent/(不要读成形容词 /ˈpreznt/)
itself 反身代词,指代前面的事物(本句指代 opportunity)
语法本质:反身动词结构
present + 反身代词(itself/yourself)
– present itself:(事物)自己浮现、出现(主语一般是 chance / opportunity / problem / difficulty)
– present yourself:(人)到场,露面,报到
例句
1. When the opportunity presented itself, he took it.
当机会出现时,他抓住了它。
2. A new problem has presented itself.
一个新问题浮现出来了。
回到咱们这道题
the opportunity that has now presented itself
翻译:现在已经到来/出现的机会
定语从句,先行词 opportunity,itself 就指代 opportunity。
同义替换(写作可以互换)
opportunity appears / arises / comes up
