Perhaps the most dramatic impact is the reduction in the amount of sleep, which leads to poor health and weight gain.

参考译文 也许最显著的影响是睡眠时间的减少,这会导致健康状况不佳和体重增加。

难点突破 本句的听力重点在于the reduction in the amount of sleep。reduction in sth. 意为“某事物有所减少”;the amount of意为“……的数量”。

poor health意为“不健康”,其中poor意为“差的,次的”,如:My parents are both in rather poor health. 我父母的身体都很不好。

考点归纳 在听力中,与amount相关的短语和表达还有:

a large/considerable amount of意为“大量的”,后接不可数名词,如:

The gang finally fled with a large amount of jewellery and cash. 那帮歹徒最终带着大量的珠宝和现金逃走了。

total amount意为“总额,总数”,如:

He gave his child a fifth of the total amount . 他给了他孩子总数的五分之一。

full amount意为“全额,总数”,如:

You will receive a bill for the full amount . 您将收到一张全额账单。

no amount of意为“即使再多也不”,如:

No amount of make-up could hide her age. 再多的化妆品也遮掩不住她的年龄。

amount to为固定短语,意为“等于,相当于;总和是”,如:

1) His words amount to a refusal. 他的话等于是在拒绝。

2) My savings amount to $2,000. 我的储蓄共有2,000美元。

听音解惑 amount⌒of [əˈmaʊnt⌒əv]里的[t]与[ə]相邻,读作[əˈmaʊn təv]。
