除了There is a general discussion about….外,另一開頭段甚至開頭句可用的句子結構是:
…. arouse great concern…(…引起好大的關注)
例句:Recently the problem of fake commodities has aroused great concern.(最近假產品的問題引起好大關注。)
首先,是什麼引起好大的關注呢?主詞部份,可用the problem of (…的問題),可用the phenomenon of (…的現象),或the rise of (…的上升)。例如:The problem of obesity has aroused concern about the unhealthy lifestyle of people. (過度肥胖的問題已引起對人們不健康生活方式的關注。)
句子變化:動詞部份,arouse是引起(一些感覺),也可用raise(引致…的存在),如:The issue of contaminating the unsold food in some stores has raised concern about the problem of food waste。也可直接用cause(引致):The demolition of Ferry Pier has caused concern about the importance of preservation of cultural heritage in Hong Kong. 若名詞是attention或concern,也可用draw:The conviction of the Bit-Torrent user has drawn attention about the situation of illegal downloading.
名詞部份,concern是關注,也可用awareness,(察覺、覺悟、意識」,或attention(關注)。注意concern通常是不可數名詞,但可以是可數名詞,one concern即一件關注。可用worry(憂慮)。
至於形容詞,跟以前提過的形容discussion/debate/contention/argument/ controversy等時一樣,可以用wide/big/huge/general(廣泛的)。也可用public (大眾的)、popular(流行的)、considerable(重大的)、world-wide(世界性的)。
