今天我们要学的词是bearing. Bearing is spelled b-e-a-r-i-n-g, bearing. Bearing 意思是关系，意义。我们常用 to have bearing on something 意思就是同某事有关系，对某事有影响。The decision had much bearing on the way the company was run. 这个决定对公司的管理运营有很大影响。His private life has no bearing on his competence as a manager. 他的私生活同他作为经理的工作能力无关。美国总统奥巴马最近公开支持同性婚姻，一项民调发现，Sixty percent of Americans say Obama's new position on same-sex marriage will have no bearing on how they vote in the November election.百分之六十的美国人表示，奥巴马在同性婚姻问题上的新立场并不会影响他们在11月总统大选中把票投给谁。好的，今天我们学习的词是 bearing, bearing, bearing.
