1. 認識這個詞（基礎(chǔ)篇）
詞：hurdle
英英釋義：a problem or difficulty that you must deal with before you can achieve something
例句：Life is all about jumping over one hurdle after another.
2. 體會這個詞 （進階篇）
“hurdle”是可數(shù)名詞，本意是“欄架”，常被引申為“障礙”，常見、好用、形象。當我們想表達“克服XX障礙”“解決XX問題”時，除了使用 problem、difficulty、obstacle 外，還可以使用 hurdle。
我們經(jīng)常會說，生活就是解決一個又一個問題，不斷往前走的過程，就可以這么說：?
Life is all about jumping over one hurdle after another and keeping moving on.（注意 and 連接的 jumping 和 keeping 的一致性。）
hurdle 前面經(jīng)常搭配的動詞除了上面的 jump over，還有 clear、overcome等。比如創(chuàng)業(yè)會面臨一系列的挑戰(zhàn)，例如融資、招人、持續(xù)增長等。我們就可以這么說：?
To run a start-up, one needs to clear a series of hurdles, and securing enough funding is simply one of them.
通常還可以在 hurdle 前面加上一個形容詞，來說明是哪方面的障礙。上面的句子也可以改寫成：
Every entrepreneur has to clear the financial hurdle to get their project started.（hurdle 前面用 financial 修飾，說明是資金方面的障礙。）再比如，我們想說“滴滴在剛開始的時候需要搞定政府監(jiān)管”，“政府監(jiān)管”就可以說成是“regulatory hurdle”：?
When Didi, a Chinese cab-hailing app, first started, it had to overcome the regulatory hurdle.
3. 從認識到會用（作業(yè)）
1）使用《牛津英語搭配詞典》查“hurdle”，了解它作為名詞時的常用搭配。?
2）翻譯下面的句子：
中國學(xué)生申請赴美留學(xué)面臨的一大障礙是托?？荚嚒?
TOEFL test is one of the biggest hurdles faced by Chinese students who are applying for the universities in the US.
（參考翻譯：A big hurdle that Chinese students who wish to study in the US face is TOEFL. 或 To get admitted to US colleges, Chinese students have to clear a difficult hurdle: TOEFL, an English language proficiency test.）
3）結(jié)合自己的生活、學(xué)習(xí)、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達。先簡要描述這個場景，再造句。
例子： A big hurdle to be cleared for me is to find the balance between family, work and study.
