Hello, 大家好,欢迎收听《Faith口语课堂-天天学》,我是Faith老师。你是第一次来到我们的课堂吗?如果答案是肯定的,那要告诉你一声,我们的每期堂课,不仅有英语学,还有英语歌听,不要走开。
首先来看一个相当简单的词:hard,不要看它这么简单,用起来可活得很。
He was so hard on me last night. 他昨晚对我很凶。
No hard feelings, I believe you'll pass it next time. 别难过,下次你会通过的。
I'm having a hard time with my girlfriend lately. 近来我跟我女友关系非常不好。
You will have a hard time getting a ticket. 你想买到票可不容易。
Why do you have such a hard time admitting it? 要你承认错误有那么困难吗?
当我们have a hard time时,心里可能就会有些不踏实,局促不安。那么,用英语如何表达呢?
My mind is not at ease.(我心中并有些不踏实),或者I don't feel at ease.(我有些局促不安),Be/feel at ease. 安逸,感觉自在。
I am never at ease with strangers. 我在陌生人面前总会感到不自在。
With our work done, we felt much at ease. 工作做完后,我们觉得好轻松。
I never feel at ease in his company. 我同他一起从未感到轻松过。
He is quite at ease in public. 他在公众场合十分自在。
After confession he feels a little better and can sleep at ease. 忏悔之后他觉得好过一点,并且能睡好了。
你在什么场合下会感到自在或局促不安呢?
