单词回顾 | 他们都是如何用“cloud”和“rate”造句的？
6月2日的单词是“cloud”，和“obscure”，“color”，“distort”等词同义，后面一般接“judgement”，“perspective”，“decision”等。
下面是几个句子点评：
1. When it comes to stock market, fear and greed cloud millions of individual investors' vision.
点评：很好的句子。“fear” 和 “greed” 都是股民的常见心理状态。
2. Her attitude towards her daughter's marriage has clouded as she get older.
点评："cloud"用在这里语义不是很通，和 “attitude”的搭配不常见。而且“attitute”只能是被影响，应该用被动语态。另外，“get”应改为“gets”。
3. Negative emotions such as fear and anger may cloud your mind and even shape your mental condition.
点评：无可挑剔的句子。
4. In a love triangle, no one can escape the bite of bitterness; jealousy, anger, and anxiety tend to cloud lovers' mind and color their judgement.
点评：又是一个无可挑剔的句子。“cloud”和“color”两个词用得恰到好处。所有的名词用得也非常精准。
6月3日的单词是“rate”，作动词时有一个意思相当于“consider”和“regard”。
下面是几个句子点评：
1. Before the battle between Ke Jie and AlphGo, Ke Jie had been rated the top Go player in the world. But now he is just second to AlphGo.
点评：用词准确，照顾到了当时的热点新闻。需要注意比赛一般不用“battle”，可以用 contest, competition, match, game, tournament 等。
2. The desired user experience of the newly released product is rated more highly, but its market share among its competitors is rather small.
点评：可以这么改写：
The user experience of the newly released product is rated more highly than expected, but compared with its competitors its market share is rather small.
3. He is delighted that the client seems to rate him very highly, and that enhance his confidence in getting the bid.
点评：“enhance”应该改为“enhances”。“bid”前可以用“succeeding in”。
