今晚去我公寓坐坐吧,这个嘛,要看情况。在英语中如何来表达“这个嘛,要看情况”呢?今天就来讲讲depend这个词的用法:
It depends... 看情况,视……而定
—Would you like to visit my apartment tonight? 今晚去我公寓坐坐吧?
—well, it depends... 这个嘛,要看情况……
—Are you coming to the party this weekend? Come on, it must be fun. 来参加周末的聚会吧,一定很好玩的。
—well, it depends... I might be working that time. 这个嘛,要看情况,我那时可能要上班。

—Well, it depends... Are you able to make 1 million dollars before 30? 这个嘛……你能在30岁前挣到100万吗?
下面,学个与“depend”有关的很popular的英语词组:depend on, 意思是;依赖于,依靠于,取决于,后面可以接名词
