今天为大家带来在平时交谈中现身度极高的5个短语,希望可以帮到大家。
短语1: I'm all ears.
猛一看,我全是耳朵,还有点小恐怖。不过其实这个短语的意思是“我在认真地听着呢”,或者说就是“洗耳恭听”。
在《唐顿庄园》第四季第8集里就有这样一幕:
A: I've seen something, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong about it, but I'd feel uncomfortable if I kept it to myself.
B: I'm all ears.
A: 我看见了一件事,我不是说这件事有什么不妥。但如果我不说出来,会觉得难受。
B: 我洗耳恭听。
大家都知道chase有“追赶“之意。Cut to the chase这个习惯用语可是来自好莱坞电影哦。很多电影里最精彩的片断是跟踪追击的场面,不论是牛仔英雄纵马追杀恶棍、还是警方飞车追捕逃犯的镜头,都相当扣人心弦,被认作是影片的重要环节。所以当导演说: cut to the chase,也就是说把摄影镜头切换到追踪场面。换句话说是进行最重要的摄制工作。cut to the chase也被广泛应用在商界,意思是“进入关键时刻或者决定性的一步”,比方说:
A: You know what, I've heard enough about all the details of this deal. Now shall we cut to the chase - how much money do you want me to pay?
那如果在平时交流中用到这个词组,它又是什么意思呢?让我们看个例子来琢磨用在这样的场合这个习惯用语的意思是什么。
A: Hi everyone, we all know why we are here today, so let's cut to the chase.
开门见山、言归正传,恩,就酱
短语3:hit the hay
一头扎进干草垛,是不是有种一头扎进被窝里的既视感呢?这个词组就是“去睡觉”的意思。有时候很想继续聊天,但是身为学生党明天还要早起上课,这时就可以用这个词组啦
A: We really need to hit the sack now! We have to get up early.
B: That's true. But I do enjoy chatting with you!
A: Me too.
要知道hit the sack和hit the hay是一个意思哦,这两个词组是可以相互替换滴
短语4:What do you mean?
What do you mean? 你什么意思啊?当你不明白对方为何这样说时,不妨用一下这个短语。根据小二的经验,这个词组在分手的时候出现频率颇高。
让我们实战演练一下:
Boyfriend: Today is our one-month anniversary of dating.
Girlfriend: You know everything has a beginning and an end.
Boyfriend: What do you mean by saying that?
Girlfriend: Well, I think it’s time for us to break up. I’m sorry.
B宝有首歌就叫What Do You Mean
来段歌词:
What do you mean?
你到底想怎样?
When you don't want me to move
你明明想要留住我的心
But you tell me to go
却要我离开
短语5:What do you say?
这个短语和what do you mean长得很像,不过意思可不一样哦。从字面上看,是:你会怎么说? 想一想,这不就是“你觉得呢?”
话不多说,上栗子!
A: Joe and I are going to see a film tonight. I think it's better if we go dutch. What do you say?
B: I agree. He's not your boyfriend after all.
