In terms of the share price, Roche is rocketing and GSK might as well stand for Great Swine flu Killing. The profits being reaped by these companies in the wake of the pandemic have been rising faster than the mercury in an old-fashioned thermometer. (From The Times, August 4, 2009: Who is making a profit from swine flu?)

1、in terms of,在……方面。这个词很简单,但我用得不如as for, as reagrds等熟练,所以列出。
2、rocket是飞速上升的意思,即rising faster than the mercury in an old-fashioned thermometer,表达增长的又一个词(其余见每日一词第1课)。
3、reap和profit搭配。
4、in the wake of sb/sth: coming after or following sb/sth
*There have been demonstrations on the streets in the wake of the recent bomb attack.
*A group of reporters followed in her wake.
*The storm left a trail of destruction in its wake.
5、rising faster than the mercury in an old-fashioned thermometer,比喻用法,形容快速增长。
6、might as well ...,“也可以”。

分点列出的语言点都是我们要用心体会、加以学习,并付诸实际应用的。
