Feifei: 大家好,欢迎收听《地道英语》。我是冯菲菲。
William: And I'm William Kremer. 我是威廉·克莱默。
Feifei: So, are you going to the gig tonight? 你今天去演唱会吗?
William: No! I didn't get tickets; I'm really gutted. 不去!我没有票;我真的很沮丧。
Feifei: Gutted, 特别失望、特别伤心。
William: Do you know anyone who has a spare ticket Feifei? 你认识的人里有额外的票的吗?
Feifei: Well, it just so happens that I have one. I take it you would like it? 嗯,碰巧我有一张。我猜你想要,对吗?
William: Too right! 太对了!
Feifei: Sorry? 抱歉,你说什么?
William: I said too right! 我说太对啦!
Feifei: So you do want the ticket? 所以你想要票咯?
William: Yeah, of course I do! I said too right. That's two words: T-O-O; second word, right; R-I-G-H-T. 是的,当然我想要!我是说太对啦。有两个单词:too和right。
Feifei: So too right means you agree? 所以它的意思是你同意?
William: Yes. In English we tend to use the phrase too right when we completely agree with something.
Feifei: 在英语里当你非常同意一个观点的时候,就可以说 too right.
William: Let's hear some examples. 比如。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: Let's go out dancing this weekend! 周末我们出去跳舞吧!
B: Too right. 太好啦!
A: I think footballers are paid too much money. 我觉得足球运动员能拿很多钱。
B: Too right they are. 他们确实能那很多。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William: So in the first example the speaker agreed by saying too right. In the second example the speaker used too right with the pronoun 'they' and the verb 'are'.
Feifei: 在第二个例子中我们听到 too right they are 这句话,too right 这个短语和代词 they are 用在一起是为了加强语气。
William: Let's hear another example of using too right with a pronoun. 我们来看另一个和代词一起使用的例子。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A: Sorry! I'll pay for the damages to your car. 抱歉!我会赔你车损的钱的。
B: Too right you will. 你这样做太对了。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feifei: Well I think that is a very useful phrase. 嗯,我觉得这个词组很实用。
William: Too right it is! Right Feifei, we better getting going to that gig; it's going to be great! 太对啦!菲菲,我们最好准备去演唱会吧;它一定很棒!
Feifei: Too right! 说的太对了!
Am I the best dressed man in this room? Too right I am! 我是这件屋子里穿着最好看的人吗?我太对啦!
