Hi everybody, this is Nick, welcome to teaching series "Nick's everyday texts with his American friends". 大家好,我是Nick. 欢迎来到“Nick和美国朋友的短信日常“。So in this series, I will teach you guys some authentic phrases and slang by showing and explaining my texts with American people. 那通过讲解我本人,和美国朋友之间发的短信,来达到学习地道英文的效果。你也可以关注微博@Nick美语天天说,还有微信公众号“铅笔英语”来获取更多免费内容
今天呢,来分享一个开场白和一个实用的表达。很多人说,跟美国人发短信开头不知道怎么发。一般来说,我们都是学生。所以在发短信,甚至是见面的的时候,开头都是问这个学期过得怎么样,比如how's ur classes? (IS classES这个单复数矛盾的知识点,以前讲过),how's ur semester going? What classes r u taking等等。短信中呢,还可以发what's up来开启话题,或者it's been a while之类的寒暄,接着再开启话题。
然后I can see the finish line字面意思就是我可以看到终点线(就是你跑步的终点那根线),实际上意思就是说,我可以看到尽头,我快结束了等等翻译,这个看语境。比如说你做一份工作,加班到晚上8点,你已经到了7点多了,你很累,但是你同事鼓励你,come on Nick!! It's almost 8!! We can see the finish line!加油尼克!快8点了!我们差不多结束了!!
alright, so this is pretty much it for this time, I'll see you guys next time, bye
