最近天气很好,阳光灿烂,欢迎再次回到同样充满阳光的Faith口语课堂-天天学,我是Faith老师。有了好心情,学英语也那么开心。
当我们谈论某人或某事怪怪的时,有一个最恰当的英语单词:weird,怪怪的,它可以用来形容一个人,也可以描述一件事有些蹊跷。
Jason is acting weird today, what’s wrong with him? 杰桑今天怪怪的,他怎么了?
Tony is a little weird, be careful when you’re talking to him. 托尼这人有点怪,和他谈话时要小心点。
The atmosphere here is weird, what’s going on? 这里的气氛有点怪,发生什么事了?
Carrie is weird about her hair. 凯丽对她的头发过度紧张。
下面,要介绍一个很活用的口语表达法:Here’s the thing,意思是“是这样的,事情是这样的,问题是”:
Here’s the thing, even if I could get it together enough to ask a woman out,
whom am I going to ask? 问题是,即便我鼓足勇气去邀请某个女人,我又该去邀请谁呢?
Here’s the thing, I don’t have anything to wear for the party. 问题是,我没有去参加派队穿的衣服啊。
You know, here’s the thing, there’s nothing available in the kitchen. 你知道吗,问题是厨房里什么吃的都没有。
Here’s the thing, I offer you 20% discount, your payment will be made within 10 days. 这样吧,我给你20%的折扣,你要在10天内付款。
Here’s the thing, I give you 5 more days to think about it. 这样吧,我再给你5天时间考虑。
今天就先学到这吧,让我们一起学好英语吧!这里是Faith口语课堂-天天学,我是Faith老师,这个声音很有特性,磁性,低沉,一首Joe Nichols带来的美国乡村歌曲:the difference is night and day, have a good day, enjoy the music!
