118 According to a review of 61 studies of patients suffering from severely debilitating depression,a large majority of the patients reported that missing a night's sleep immediately lifted their depression.Yet sleep-deprivation is not used treat depression even though the conventioal treatments,which use drugs and electric shocks,often have serious side effects.
此题如何理解,missing a night's sleep immediately lifted their depression说明缺少睡眠会加重depression,那当然不应去用sleep-deprivation去治疗depression了,这有什么矛盾的。作者: zm_patrickS 时间: 2010-12-20 20:03
我的理解正好相反lifted their depression应该是指会减少depression 吧,把depression提起来不就是减少吗?作者: logowuyi 时间: 2010-12-21 06:56
i agree with LZ, lifted their depression means release their suffers.作者: 静若水 时间: 2010-12-23 20:04
《The Mwrriam Webster Dictionary》解释Lift:
(1) raise,elevate
(2) to put an end to
(3) to pay off
看来本题中的Lift作put an end解。其它解释放入题中不通。另外根据字典,raise也有end的意思。作者: angelsgx 时间: 2010-12-24 06:45
多谢楼上的解释。作者: judyenglishS 时间: 2010-12-24 21:12
但是lift本身还有上升的意思。。这个怎么解释呢。。
