use my knowledge of business to write financial news.

Belinda:I know that starting reporters work many hours. I am very willing to ❸ take on the
challenge ❹ .
详细解说
❶ “different from…”表示“与……不同,和……不一样”,相当于“different to/
than”。“different from”在英式英语和美式英语中都最常用,“different to”仅
用于英式英语,“different than”仅用于美式英语,例如:This visit is very
different from/to/than last time.(这次拜访和上次拜访特别不一样。)另
外,“different from”和“different than”后均可以接从句,而“different to”后却
不可以接从句,例如:She looked different from/than what I'd expected.(她看
上去和我期望的不一样。)
❷ “choose to do(sth.)”表示“选择做(某事)”。如果想表达“选择不做(某
事)”,则为“choose not to do(sth.)”,例如:Many people choose not to
marry.(很多人都选择不结婚。)
❸ “be willing to do(sth.)”意为“乐于/愿意做(某事)”,例如:I'm perfectly3
willing to discuss the problem.(我非常愿意讨论这个问题。)
❹ “take on the challenge”与“accept/face the challenge”的意思相近,意为“接受
挑战”,此处的“take on”意为“愿意做/负责”。
