I want you to gain the intelligence of spending time wisely, because while you're killing time, time is killing you.
语音讲解:
今日发音练习重点:
1. gain 注意练习双元音/e?/ /e/→/?/的过渡。尤其注意第一个元音/e/的口形,上下齿间不要过大,也不要过小。
注:下图中的/?/是KK音标,其对应的发音就是DJ音标中的/e/。
2. wise while 注意练习双元音/a?/ /a/→/?/的过渡。
言之有物:
1. 词链儿:gain intelligence of doing XX
获得做XX的智慧
gain XX of doing XX
2. 词链儿:spend your time wisely
明智利用时间
回顾【spend time doing XX 花时间做XX】
回顾【it just takes time to do XX 】
拓展:take time& spend time的区别
都是花费时间
一般主语不是人:
It took me 3 hours to get there.
通常主语是人:
I should spend some time with my family.
3. 词链儿:kill time
打发时间; 消遣——本句意为“浪费时间”
回顾【kill的用法】
We have three hours to wait. Let's go to the movie to kill time.
我们要等三个小时,让我们去看场电影来消磨时间吧。
We killed time playing cards.
我们打纸牌消磨时间。
With time to kill, he took a cab to the centre.
还有点时间可以消磨,于是他叫了一辆出租车去市中心。
Well, I know another that might kill some time.
还有一件事也许能消磨时间。
