Take answers afterwards from the class and build up a complete list on the board. Possible answers- coffee grown- coffee picked- coffee transported- coffee packed- coffee sold and shipped- coffee sold on to shops- coffee bought and drunk 2 Before students start exercise 2, ask them to look at the title of the article on page 107, Coffeenomics, and say which two words have been combined to make this (unreal) word. The words are coffee and economics.Students then study the four visual aids from a presentation and find the missing facts and figures in the article.Answers1 10p(pence)2 153 504 505 rent6 service charge7 coffee8 1.263 Students complete the text with sentences A-F.

Make sure at least one person in each group has a good knowledge of their country's economy. An alternative is to discuss the questions as a class and ask students who know a lot on the topic. With pre-work students, the questions make a useful research project which they could carry out online and then report back on in the next lesson.ArticlesGrammar1 This grammar section should be a review of articlesfor students but if they have difficulties they should refer to the grammar summary on page 130. When checking the answers, ask students to give their reasons.Answers1 0 (Fair-trade is the name of the organisation)2 an (singular noun)3 a (singular noun mentioned for the first time)4 the (before a superlative)5 the (there is only one)6 an (singular noun)7 the (name of country)8 a (singular noun)9 the (refers to "foundation"-there is only one)10 0 (plural noun)Photocopiable activity 11.1See page 180.Fair-tradeListening2 Students look at the products and discuss the questions as a class. Find out how well known Fair-trade is in the students' countries.3 Listening 11.1 Ask students to read the questions before they listen. They then listen and choose the best endings for the eight sentences.Answers1 C2 A3 C4 A5 B6 B7 B8 B11.1 Listening scriptI = Interviewer IB = Ian BretmanI So, Ian. I understand that the original idea for Fair-trade came in 1989. How did it happen?IB Actually, the Fair-trade Foundation itself was finally set up in 1992, but yes, you're right, the catalyst for the spread of Fair-trade was three years earlier when the international coffee agreement that controlled prices collapsed with the withdrawal of the US. At that time coffee was the world's biggest agricultural commodity. In a few months the price fell by half. It was a huge disaster for the twenty million people growing and processing coffee around the world. Many of the producing countries were dependent on coffee for over half their exports.I Can you give us some examples of how you help, exactly?IB One way is that we encourage producers to learn how to compete effectively in international markets. We help farmers coming into the system to develop the capacity to cope with fulfilling demand and we set a minimum guaranteed price for their products.I I see. But as well as helping farmers directly, you also have influence on governments, don't you? I mean, governments are talking more and more about fairer global trade...IB Yes, we're finding that the issues we've been talking about for the past ten years are moving up the agenda. For example, we're having more of a debate on how we can achieve economic growth and social justice, as both are needed. As a result, leaders of larger Fair-trade organisations have been invited to high-level international meetings and economic forums. We can use our experience to illustrate to governments how trade can be better managed.I But how do you convince people who say economic growth is the answer to everything? Don't these people argue that Fair-trade isn't good for free trade?IB Well, I worked in business for a long time and so I understand the need for a free market, but it seems unlikely to me that when it comes to social problems, like global poverty, the answer is just an economic one, because social choices have to be made, too. Our point is really about priorities. Increasing flows of trade will help wealth goes down to the people who need it most. That requires a little bit more management. Fair-trade has practical experience on the ground in how you can combine the best of both. How you can get people to operate effectively and competitively while trading in a way that producers can earn a decent living and improve their lives. In the long run, if they do improve their lives, they too will become consumers and purchasers.I So is this the message you give businesses to make them change to Fair-trade products?IB It's in the interest of any business to take the message on board, not only to improve their public image but also as a recruiting tool for the future. The younger generation is well informed and wants to be part of the solution. Companies find that having a social conscience has a positive effect on recruiting and retaining good staff. Staff get excited about persuading consumers to buy products that make a difference topeople's lives.I It sounds like that's what motivates you, too.IB For my part - yes - meeting the producers and seeing what a difference Fair-trade can make to their lives is really quite inspiring.Giving reasons and benefitsSpeaking4 This task resembles Part Three of the Speaking Test so students need to work in pairs and discuss the two items. Allow about four minutes and then ask each pair to present their ideas. As you listen, monitor and give some feedback on how to improve the discussion and types of expressions that will help.Module 11.2 Discussing trendsAlternative energy sourcesSpeaking1 Put students into groups of three of four to discuss which types of energies would be a good investment. Their responses may depend upon which part of the world they come from.Possible answersa) Wind power has already been implemented in many countries though some people say it can never provide enough energy on its own. The initial cost is also very high.b) Solar power is being widely used either on people's own houses or in the form of huge areas of land with solar panels. The cost of technology is falling for this energy so it looks like a good investment.c) Bio fuels which make use of residue from plants are already used in some cars. They look set to provide one solution to the lack of petrol fuels.d) Coal is criticized for the pollution it creates and many countries are looking at alternatives which suggests it isn't a good investment. However, in some parts of the world such as China there are huge coal reserves which are only now being mined and used in power stations. In this case coal may still be a good investment but be bad for the environment.e) Wave power has many of the same pros and cons as wind power.f) Nuclear power has attracted bad publicity in the past but more recently many governments have returned to the idea of building nuclear power stations in the next century in order to solve the potential shortage of energy. Private investment may yet provide good returns.Good greedReading2 Students complete the article as in Part Four of the Reading Test.Answers1 B2 B3 A4 C5 D6 B7 C8 D9 A 10 B 11 B 12 A 13 D 14 A 15 C3 Discuss the questions as a class.AnswerThe graph shows that while solar power costs twice as much per kilowatt-hour than traditional energy sources used on power grids at present, its costs have been falling continuously since the early nineties. The line showing the average price for power from the grid for residential energy is also climbing. If these trends continue, solar power may become very competitive, making it a good long-term investment.Describing trendsvocabulary4 Students find the trend words in the last two paragraphs of the article and complete the table. They may find it helpful to use a good dictionary to check whether the word is a verb, noun or adjective. If students know more trend words, these can be added to the table (see also the next Extension activity). Answers1 peak (n)2 rising (v)3 soar (v)4 remained stable (v)5 crash (n)6 go down (v)7 descent (n)8 declined(v)ExtensionIf students are using dictionaries, ask them to find out if the words have other forms, eg the verb increase can also be the noun increase and its adjective form is increased. You could draw this table on the board and ask students to complete it with more trend words in their different forms. Write in the first examples to help: Verb adjective nounto increase increased increaseto fluctuate fluctuating fluctuationPronunciationStudents should mark the stressed syllable in the trend words. They can use their dictionaries to check. Pay special attention to stressed syllables which move in different word forms, eg fluctuate / fluctuation.Photocopiable activity 11.2See page 181.Reasons for trendsListening1 11.2 This listening continues the work on trend language on the previous page, but here students also focus on the language for explaining reasons for trends. AnswersA no speakerB 2C 4D 3E 1F 511.2 Listening scriptS = SpeakerS1 I think wind power is probably a good long-term investment because its growth has been slow but fairly consistent over the last decade, and more and more wind farms seem to be appearing, so someone must be making money - unless it's all coming from government subsidies. So if you can spare some money for the next fifty years or so I'd say you're probably on to a good thing.S2 The whole eco-investment craze is a bit risky at this stage. It's all a bit up and down due to the fact that some governments are saying now is the time to look for alternative energies and others are still using coal and oil. It's so political that you only need a change of government and the whole thing changes again. Certainly in the short term it's going to be difficult to predict...S3 Actually, I'd say oil is still a good one - at least in the short term. It's really kept increasing very well and I don't know anyone who's lost. Another reason for putting your money in oil companies is that quite a few are also developing environmentally-friendly fuels...S4 It's funny, because everyone was trying to get out of nuclear energy for a while. We all thought it would be replaced with wind power and solar energy. Anyway, as a result of governments suddenly realizing for at least the next century we won't be able to get enough energy from natural sources, nuclear will probably have a bit of a revival. So I wouldn't move all your money out of that industry just yet...S5 The one you hear about least is wave power but there are one or two companies that are investing heavily in the technology. I suppose with all the sea it's worth looking into, but overall I wouldn't expect it to do well for the small, short-term investor. Anyone with money here already won't have seen much change in the near future, either, as it's going to be slow to develop.2 11.2 Give students time to read extracts 1-5 before playing the recordings again. Students write in the missing words that are used to explain reasons for trends.Answers1 because2 due to the fact that3 Another reason for4 as a result of5 asDiscussing trendsSpeaking3 Students create sentences in pairs to describe recent real trends. Make sure they use trend words from exercise4 on page 111, and linking expressions for explaining reasons from exercise 2 on page 112. At the end, ask different pairs to say some of their sentences. If students are from different countries it will be interesting to find out and compare the differences in trends and reasons from around the world.A proposalWriting4 Students can work alone or in pairs or small groups to read the information and then draw up a list of reasons for and against investing. Note that they can also add their own ideas, eg we know from the previous article on page 111 that solar energy is tipped to become a profitable investment.Possible answers(based on information given)Reasons for:- it has a new deal with Mainline Energy worth 190million euros- the company has over ten years' experience in a relatively new field- it hit a high earlier in the year- the recent fall is described by many analysts as a short-term problem- it has developed a new silicon-saving technologyReasons against:- its recent stock price fell by half- there is a shortage of silicon.5 Students use their list of reasons in exercise 4 to writea proposal. They will also find the list of expressions helpful. You could also refer students back to page 72 in Module 7, which presented another type of proposal.Possible answerDear Mr. Keating,In response to your enquiry about Sungreen Power, the company seems to be performing well.One thing to consider is their new sales agreement with Mainline Energy, worth 190 million euros. This should help their share price which recently halved. On the one hand this was caused by a shortage of silicon, but on the other hand Sungreen specialize in technology which requires less silicon.So despite the fall, I would still suggest you consider investing. The fact that solar power costs have continuously fallen since the early nineties and look set to equal normal energy costs in the next few year makes this a good investment opportunity.Feel free to call me to discuss any further queries you might have.Best regards!Module 11.3 Reading test: Part threeExam practiceAsk students to read the introduction to Part Three of the Reading Test. Refer them to the Exam Success tip before they read the text and answer the questions.Answers1 C2 D3 B4 A5 D6 D。

D1 Companies usually try to motivate employees with extra payment or verbal praise.2Financial rewards don't work so well when the manager assesses performance himself3In the end, motivation has to come from the person himself.4Loyalty and commitment are two different things.5Employees are committed when they understand and believe in the company's aims.6Most employees see rewards as an end in themselves.7How well you work does not depend on how good your working conditions are.8Good relations between managers and workers create the right working environmentAFundamental to the issue of motivation is the distinction between employee loyalty to the company and employee commitment. Employees feel loyal when they feel comfortable and well looked after job security, reasonable conditions of pay, generous holiday entitlement, medical insurance and a good pension. Without these conditions an employee will feel neither loyalty to the company nor any motivation to work. But it is also possible that even with good conditions, the employee may not feel motivated. This is because performance is not directly related to working conditions: an employee can feel secure. whether he works hard or notBMotivation has more to do with commitment to the job. The conditions that produce commitment are different from those that inspire loyalty. Committed employees will have a clear sense of the goals of the company and understand their part in contributing to achieving them. Moreover, they will believe that these goals are worth working for: they will derive job satisfaction from what they do. So companies who want a motivated staff ought to be spending their time thinking about their goals and communicating these with enthusiasm to their staff.CInstead, the motivation debate seems to focus on rewards, either financial or non-financial. For example money is commonly used as an incentive for sales people or others with measurable targets to reach. Sometimes it is also used to reward employees whose performance has been evaluated subjectively by a line manager. This is less satisfactory. Verbal commendation is also used to motivate, from a simple word of encouragement in the employee's ear to a public award ceremony.DBut do all these types of rewards motivate people Well yes, they do. They motivate them to get rewards. What they don't necessarily do is motivate them to be a committed employee and do a good job. What really motivates people is the level of satisfaction they find in their work. As Herzberg famously put it: 'If you want people motivated to do a good job, give them a good job to do‘ESo the real motivators are things which are intrinsic to the job: that the employee feels part of a unit that is working towards something worthwhile. And from this as long as communication between employee and management is open and respectful, will come recognition for good work, advancement in the company and personal growth. The best that companies can do is to create such an environment and then hope that within it people are able to motivate themselves。

Secondly in May, we ran a competition which was very popular.With regards to costs, banners have cost 3200 euros a month but very few people seem to visit the website as a result of these.On the other hand, the newsletter doesn’t cost anything (other than my time) but has helped to increase the number of visitors.RecommendationsIn order to increase this number I would recommend that we continue with the newsletter and run more competitions and quizzes.

You enquired about availability at the Virginia Walk Centre and offices are still vacant. However, please note that there is limited parking and some offices are on different floors.

Use the layout and expressions from the proposal in exercise 1 on page 72.Dear Mr Burr,Further to your enquiry about the warehousing at the W1 site, I am delighted to say this space is still available. However, with regard to your additional requirements please note that you would have to rent two separate spaces of 50 square meters and the warehouse has limited parking for five cars only and limited access.As an alternative, you might wish to consider a new storage option called Circular Storage that has recently become available to Spacesaver. While itis a little further from the centre of the city than W1, it has the following features:- easy access for lorries and adequate parking for twenty- security with CCTV- space availability of 100 square meters (and more if required)Please also note that it would be two-thirds the price of W1, and the 10% discount for a two-year booking would still apply.

However, on the first day the trainer arrived 30 minutes late, which was followed by a further delay due to a room change. As a result of this nearly 90 minutes was missed. In addition to this, my staff inform me that the approach of the trainer was tolet participants discover solutions to problems rather than being told what to do.Despite having been very satisfied with your services in the past I may have to reconsider sending staff in the future. I would be grateful to hear any comments you have to make either by phone or in writing.I look forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerelyMrs A HeneageHuman ResourcesA letter of complaintDear Mrs HeneageWith regard to your concerns about the PowerPoint course on the 26th April, I have now spoken to my head of computer training and as a result I am in a position to respond.Unfortunately, and due to circumstances beyond our control on that day, the head of training was unavailable at short notice. As a resultwe had to get a placement trainer and he was somewhat late. For this I apologize, but because of this delay we added the lost time on the end of the two days.Secondly, there was a room change which was due to the fact that your company sent an extra person. Finally, our approach to training has always been based on discovery approach.Moreover, it has always received positive feedback. Following this letter, I would like to suggest a meeting at your convenience to discuss any remaining issues and your future traini ng needs…Writing: A letter of complaintWork in pairs. You will write a letter to eachother and then write the reply. You recently stayed at a hotel. Your partner is the manager. Read the notes on the problems.•There was no record of the booking at reception — I waited 45 minutes.• The meeting room was double-booked— had to meet clients in smaller room.• The towels were not changed in the bathroom overnight — room service said this was hotelpolicy based on ‘environmental reasons’. Write a letter to the hotel manager. Write 120-140 words usingappropriate linking words or expressions. Swap letters with your partner. Now you are the manager. Write a reply to the letter. Respond to each complaint, again using appropriate linking words or phrases.Possible answers：Dear Sir or Madam,Following my recent experience of your hotel, I have decided to send you some feedback in the hope that you can improve your services.I arrived at reception at 6pm on 7th November to find there was no record of my booking. As a result of this I waited 45 minutes. The following day, my two clients and I were delayed due to the meeting room being double-booked. Eventually we were given another smaller room. Finally, towels were not changed overnight. Room service explained that thiswas because of the hotel's “environmentally-friendly” policy. While I agree with the sentiment of this policy, I do not think that changing at least one towel is unreasonable.Despite having been very satisfied with your services in the past I may have to reconsider using your hotel in the future. I would be grateful to hear any comments you have to make in writing.Yours faithfullyDear M…Thank you for your recent letter regarding your stay at our hotel. Iregret that the experience did not achieve your normal expectations. I have now spoken to the staff involved and as a result I am in aposition to comment.Unfortunately, our online booking system has been undergoing some changes and this may have affected both your booking of a room and the meeting rooms.I apologise for any delays but please note that all our meeting rooms are equipped with the same levelof services. With regard to the policy on towels, the hotel feels that it must play its part in working towards helping the environment and so we have recently considered a number of ways in which to achieve this. However, your comments on towels will be raised at our next meeting on this policy. Following your letter therefore, I wish to apologise for anyinconvenience caused. I would like to offer you a free two-dayvoucher which can be used at this hotel in the future. We lookforward to your next visit and any further feedback you have.Best regardsYours sincerelyModule 9IMPORTANT! Telephone me back as soon as possible as I’m going out tonightHi Mr KayI received you’re message on my voicemail this morning which was about next weeks brand development meeting. When I called back you were unavailable. I am delighted to let you know that I will be able to participate. Please find attachment the latest proposal from ScentAir.I look forward to see you thenYours faithfullyJ.Work in pairs and re-draft the email.Dear Mr. Kay,Further to your message regarding next week’s brand development meeting, I can confirm that Iwill be able to attend. Please also find attached ScentAir’s latest proposal, which we can discussin more detail next week.I look forward to seeing you.Best regardsJohn TaylorYou work for a market research company. Your client，a soft drinks company，wants to launch a new flavored drink. You tested two possible flavors with focus groups. You also asked people to compare normal and diet versions of the two drinks. You have been asked to write a report on your findings and make recommendations to your client.Look at the graphs below showing results, on which you have already made some handwritten notes.Then using all these handwritten notes, write your report.Write 120-140 words.Cherry flavour9% Strong7% Nomuch higher than forstrawberry flavourStrawberry flavour9% Mediumcomments included ‘too much sugar ’, ‘flavour doesn ’t taste real’Diet / normal versions（%）summarise thesedifferencespreferencefocus groupfor the normal and diet versionsReport on findings from focus group research IntroductionThe aim of this report is to make recommendations based on findings from ten focus groups.FindingsFirstly, nearly three-quarters of responses to the cherry flavour were very positive with only 7%being neither positive nor negative about the product.On the other hand, about two-thirds said they disliked the strawberry flavour because of the sugar and artificial taste.Finally, with regard to the normal and diet versions, approximately 20% more people preferred the diet cherry version and nearly three times as many preferred the diet strawberry version. RecommendationsBased on these findings, I would recommend that the company launches two types of cherry flavor drink (normal and diet). While I wouldn't suggest a normal strawberry version, the company could consider producing a diet version which was clearly more popular.Module 10Subject: Soundblaster TourDear AllFollowing on from my initial meeting with theclient last week, I can now confirm that theschedule (see attached chart) will extend over the first six months of next year (from Jan to June). Please note that the client will announce the tour on January 28th. In order to be in time for ticket sales we need to have the tickets printed during the first half of January. Secondly, planning and design for merchandizing such as tour T-shirts needs to begin in March. This is a little earlier than normal but I’d like to stay ahead of the client’s schedule to be safe – you know how they ch ange things at the last minute and we’re all suddenly behind! So that we are in time for the start of the tour, the merchandise needs to delivered to all retailers and concert venues in the two weeks prior to the start of the tour. So, approximately by June 15th. The client has also asked merchandizing to stay well within the budget of the last tour. As a result of this, we won’t be selling anything except the basic package of T-shirts and badges. Let me know if you have any queries.Writing: An Email1. Two days later, the manager sends another email to all staff informing them of changes. Complete the email with phrases from the previous exercise. To: All StaffSubject: Update on Soundblaster tourFurther to / Following on from my email the other day, the client has informed me of certain changes to the schedule, though we can still start work in January. The tour dates will now be announced a month later and the tour starts two weeks earlier. This is due to the sales period, which they feel is unnecessarily long, and because two dates have been added to the tour. In order to stay within the planned schedule and not run out of time, we will now need to bring the delivery dates for any merchandising forward by two weeks. The period for planning and design do esn’t need to change therefore we have no problems with that. It just means we need to be on schedule for the middle of April so we are not late for delivery.2. Imagine you are the manager of this project. Write another email a week later to all staff.Explain that the tickets will be printed by the end of January.Tell them that the client has increased themerchandising budget so we can include hats and scarves.Thank staff for their patience.Subject: Further changes to schedule for LJ tour. Further to my previous email, I can confirm that tickets need to be printed by January 31st. Please also note that the client has increased the merchandising budget in order to include hats and scarves. I appreciate your patience with these changes to the schedule.Imagine you are in investment advisor. One of your clients is interested in investing in environmentally-friendly business and has heard about Sungreen Power. He thinks the company might be a good investment and has asked for your advice. Write a letter(120-140) to explain：the current pros and cons of the investmentif you think it is a good investmentThis list of expressions will help you.Making a proposalIntroducing the proposalIn response to your enquiry about…At present the company seems to be performing (well/badly)…Comparing pros and consOn the one hand…but on the other…One advantage/disadvantage is that…One other thing to consider is…Balancing and concludingDespite…I would still suggest that…Overall, I would strongly recommend that…The fact that…makes this a good/poor investment opportunity.Dear Mr Keating,In response to your enquiry about Sungreen Power, the company seems to be performing well.One thing to consider is their new sales agreement with Mainline Energy, worth 190 million euros. Thisshould help their share price which recently halved. On the one hand this was caused by a shortage of silicon, but on the other hand Sungreen specializein technology which requires less silicon.So despite the fall, I would still suggest you consider investing. The fact that solar power costs have continuously fallen since the early nineties and look set to equal normal energy costs in thenext few year makes this a good investment opportunity.Feel free to call me to discuss any further queries you might have.Best regards初中化学知识点总结完全版1一、基本概念1.物质的变化及性质（1）物理变化：没有新物质生成的变化。
新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版Moudule11课文Coffee
新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版Moudule11课文CoffeeCoffee is a beverage made from roasted coffee beans, which is popular all over the world.There are many kinds of coffee, such as Nescafe, cat poo coffee, cappuccino, latte, mocha and so on.In the eyes of foreigners, coffee is like Chinese tea, something is nothing to make a cup of tea, small taste, as if the bitter coffee is nectar. This is the habit of foreigners, we Chinese young people, now also seldom invite friends to tea, but will say: "let's go to coffee shop chat!" It can be seen that for us Chinese, drinking coffee is a kind of leisure and entertainment.In the past, I drank a few cappuccinos at Starbucks on my dad's dime, and they were as bitter as drinking Chinese medicine. Even though dad adds sugar, I can't feel any sweetness.Recently, my mother and I have been following the fashion by pretending to drink coffee. It is not coffee, but something similar to cocoa milk, asking everyone "Do you want coffee? When guests come to our house, my mother will not pour tea for guests any more,just a cup of hot coffee, drink it!Why is that? My mother read on the Internet that drinking coffee can prevent cancer. This is not good for mom, but the last part of the sentence excited mom, "drinking coffee can also delay aging." Mother went to buy cocoa powder that afternoon, and also pulled me, let me and her "through thick and thin".The taste of coffee is a long story, especially bitter, my taste buds have silently protest. Every time after drinking a glass of milk, my mother and I are similar. Then I had a whim and poured the milk into the coffee, which tasted much better. Now my mother drinks a cup of cocoa milk every morning.But, Mom, did you see the other one on theInternet? "Drinking too much coffee can also harm your health!"。

新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版答案【篇一：新编剑桥商务英语(中级)课文翻译】1、we wanna hold your hand 我们愿与你携手创业带着浓厚的经营意识，加上一些进取精神，再来瞧瞧，哈!你拥有了一家连锁店!如果想自己开店、大展身手却又苦于缺乏经验，同时又不想在这个充满风险的昙花一现的独立法人世界中立足，那么开家连锁店不失为一个明智之举。
然而你必须明白自己将从事何种性质的经营，这是至关重要的。
特许经营就是由一方(授予特许经营者)授权允许另一方(加盟特许经营者)使用其商标或商号，并使用其一揽子经营理念。
当然如果你下定决心，白手起家地单干，你随时可以从总店分离出去，另立门户，发展特许经营店。
阿齐尔说，想要设立特许经营店的新公司数目与日俱增。
“加入这个队伍的人数多得令人难以置信，他们年龄越来越小，投资越来越少，他们获得回报后进行更大的风险投资。
”如果能够募集到起步经费，开设自己的特许经营店，就为冒险家一展身手提供了理想机会2、not sold on sales相比之下，销售则意味着挨家挨户推销，进行不期而至的拜访或拨打不期而至的电话。
不过这完全是误导人的印象。
在英国，从事销售职业的人数比营销人员多出大约20万人。
其中部分原因是那些投身销售工作的人们意识到销售工作根本不像传言中说的那么可怕。
要点解析：(1) shake off its unglamorous image摆脱其乏味的形象。
shake off摆脱，例如：shake off responsibility摆脱责任。
(2) associations with something rather dishonest本意为“和某种不诚实守信的因素紧紧相联”，在这个语境中可以翻译为“与无商不奸的概念紧紧相联”。
unglamorous单调的，乏味的，例如：unglamorous environment单调的环境。
(3) retain an air of glamour 显得很风光，retain an air of 带着??的样子，例如retain an air of cheerfulness保持一种欢喜的样子。
