详解雅思口语中的高频句子
3. I ate salad, soup, steak and pudding. On top of that, I drank two cups of coffee. 我吃了沙拉,汤,牛排和布丁,除此之外,我还喝了两杯咖啡。
讲到除了什么什么之外,以前老师教我们的都是 besides,in addition to (包含的除外),不然就是 except (不包含的除外,详见注1) 所以这个例句一般人的讲法会是,"Besides/In addition to salad, soup steak and pudding, I drank two cups of coffee." 但除了 besides/in addition to 之外,老美也很喜欢用 on top of that 这个片语。而且当他们在讲 on top of that 都还会特别强调加强语气。通常能表现出一种夸大的语气来吸引听者的注意。比方说吧!「她的未婚夫不但有五栋房子和二部豪华轿车,银行里还有十亿元的存款」在这里重点是最后的十亿元存款,所以句子这么造,"Her fiance has five houses and two luxury cars. On top of that, he has 1 billion dollars in the bank."
