　　今天我们来学的句型是to attract sb’s attention。

　　attract意思是“吸引，引起……的注意”，我们形容一个女孩特别有魅力，用的就是这个词的形容词形式attractive，That girl is so attractive.

　　Attention意思是“注意力”，老师在上课前常会这样说一句：

　　Let me have your attention!

　　请注意听我讲话!

　　现在，我们把它们组合在一起，to attract attention就是“引起……的注意”。21世纪，人类面临的最大问题可能就是环境危机了，所以“污染问题引起了人们的关注”就可以说：

　　The pollution attracts the attention of people.

　　能够引起别人的注意，有时候也是好事，比如下面这个例子中，一种奇异的花就抓住了大家的眼球：

　　Heze peony flowers attract many foreigners' attention.

　　菏泽牡丹吸引了众多外宾的注意力。

　　今天的节目里，我们讲到了一个短语a series of(一系列)，介绍了一个句型attract sb’s attention(引起……的注意)，大家记住了吗？希望朋友们在生活中多多使用，我们下次再见！
