　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　Walmart is taking on Amazon Prime with its own subscription program, one that will offer free deliveries and discounted gas to members, as the nation’s largest retailer attempts to win over homebound consumers during the pandemic.

　　参考译文：沃尔玛拟通过自己的订阅计划向亚马逊Prime发起挑战;该计划将为会员提供免运费和燃气打折，因为这家美国最大的零售商试图在疫情期间赢得本土消费者。

　　第二句：

　　Walmart Plus rolls out Sept. 15 and is the retailer’s most pointed effort to compete with Amazon’s wildly popular Prime program, which has grown to more than 100 million members since it was launched in 2005.

　　参考译文：沃尔玛Plus将于9月15日正式推出，这是该零售商针对亚马逊广受欢迎的Prime计划最尖锐的尝试，Prime自2005年推出以来已发展了1亿多名会员。

　　思考题解析：

　　Walmart will launch a subscription program to__.

　　沃尔玛将会发动一个订阅计划来_____

　　A. promote its gas stations services for members

　　没有燃气站服务这是一个拼凑!

　　B. confront the rival’s growing marketing program

　　记住rival 就是亚马逊!

　　会员项目=营销项目

　　这就是正确选项!

　　C. deter the largest retailer’s subscription program

　　deter阻碍!

　　记住：沃尔玛就是the largest retailer

　　所以不存在阻止自己的订阅计划。

　　当然你认为亚马逊是最大的零售商，就是对文章指代关系的误解了。

　　一定要找到名词的指代!

　　加了定冠词the 就是对前面名词的呼应!

　　如果这里的最大的零售商指的是亚马逊那就应该在文章中明确说明是亚马逊。

　　这个方式写，那就是沃尔玛!

　　比如：

　　1.The Facebook …

　　2.The largest online advertiser…

　　脸书=最大的在线广告商

　　加了定冠词the就是对前面名词的呼应。

　　如果这里的最大的在线广告商指的不是脸书，作者就应该加一个同位语告诉读者这个最大的在线广告商是谁?

　　D. compete with Amazon’s gas station member service
