2014年秋高中英语 Module 5 The Great Sports Personality 同步攻课讲解外研版必修5
一、 They included six out of seven gold medals at the 1982 Wor ld Championship , and three at the 1 984 Olympics in Los Angeles (as well as two silver and a bronze).
介词短语...out of... 表示分数，表示“……分之……”，如one out of five 相当于one-fifths，three out of t en 相当于three-tenths等。例如：
Over two out of five trees in the forest have been burned down in that fire .
二、 Li Ning，s sports clothes came onto the market at just the right time. The number of young people with money to spend was on the increase—and sport had never been so popular.
句子中on the increase等同于on the rise。这类词组通常说明状态或变化趋势，其中介词on在这里表示“处于……状态中”，而名词通常是由动词转换而来的，类似的词组还有：
on the mov e 不停地运动，走来走去
on the mend 处于康复中，正在治疗中
