从滴滴安全事件中我们可以学到哪些英文？

今天我从CNBC、CNN以及New York Times关于这起滴滴安全事件的报道中找了几个地道表达，与大家分享。内容不多，但也是熬夜通宵用心准备的，希望你们能够喜欢！ [好文分享：www.11jj.com]

1. expand at a frenetic pace

《..》中这么描述滴滴的发展势头：

It has been expanding at a frenetic pace in China and around the world, and it is widely expected to raise billions of dollars should it seek to sell shares on public markets.

frenetic是形容词，读音为[frə"net.ɪk]，英文解释是：extremely active, excited or uncontrolled 发狂的，狂乱的。

expand at a frenetic pace便是“疯狂发展、疯狂扩张”的意思了，这一表达可以放在写作开头用来描述时代背景，替换With the development of..., As...develops，比如：

With the development of technology in China and around the world...

→

Technology has been expanding at a frenetic pace in China and around the world...

should it seek to sell shares on public markets是一个省略了if的虚拟从句倒装，写成正常句子的形式是：

It is widely expected to raise billions of dollars if it should seek to sell shares on public markets.

如果它寻求在公开市场上发行股票，人们普遍预计可以筹集数十亿美元的资金。
