自己整理的词句unleash a wave of social problems 这个短语大家背下来，指「引发一系列社会问题」
be born into sth 指「生于…家庭」
all-encompassing指「包罗万象的」
Jin Jiang, which is controlled by Shanghai’s local government, operates everything from budget digs (think Marriott’s Fairfield Inn) to the upper end of the mass market (like Sheraton). Huazhu is a more all-encompassing group, which also competes in the luxury segment.锦江由上海市政府控股，经营范围涵盖从经济型酒店（类似万豪的费尔菲得酒店）到大众市场的高端酒店（类似喜来登）。华住更加包罗万象，还参与豪华酒店市场的竞争。
have / gain the upper hand 指「占上风；处于有利地位」
immensely副词也是高频词
比如张爱玲的小说《半生缘》英译版的前言里有这样一句话： In the 1970s, her works became immensely popular throughout the Chinese- speaking world. 上个世纪七十年代，张爱玲的作品在中文世界非常流行。[写作推荐]
