1. In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. (P15)
【归纳】 cut down削减，减少，砍倒。
【延伸】 cut in插嘴；cut off切掉，隔绝；cut up切碎；cut across 抄近路穿过。
【易错点】 注意cut down后面介词的使用，如果表示“削减，减少”时，后面可以跟介词on；如果表示“使……降低到”时，用to；如果表示“使……降低了”时，用by。如：
The doctor told my husband to cut down on smoking. 医生嘱咐我丈夫少吸烟。
You can cut the book down to 200 pages. 你可以把这本书减到200页。
2. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant!(P10)
【归纳】 1. “more than ＋ 数词”意为“……以上”，如：I have known David for more than 20 years.
2. “more than ＋ 名词”表示“不仅仅”，如： Jason is more than a lecturer; he is a writer, too.
3. “more than ＋ 形容词 / 副词”意为“非常”，如：I am more than glad to help you.
【延伸】 rather than而不是；other than除了；less than很少，不到。
【易错点】 no more than意为“只有，仅仅，不过（ = only; just ）”，强调“少”；not more than意为“至多，顶多，不超过”，其意义与 at (the) most 相同。
