每日一词学英语(128): glaring

经济合作与发展组织(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD)说,G7的多数国家2009年的经济表现都会比6月预测的好,只有英国例外。The organisation, which exists to promote economic growth and development, said that several of the economies in the G7 group of developed nations would perform better during the whole of 2009 than it predicted in June — with Britain a glaring exception. (From Times Online, September 3, 2009: Britain to lag world in emerging from recession)

与其它6国形成鲜明对比,所以用glaring: (adj.) [usually before noun] (of sth bad) very easily seen. 同义词:blatant。
*a glaring error / omission / inconsistency / injustice
*the most glaring example of this problem

经合组织6月时预测英国经济今年萎缩4.3%,现在这个数字增长为4.7%,这在G7这些发达国家里绝无仅有。
