语段精讲
第一、词汇精讲
depress
双语释义:make (sb) sad and without enthusiasm
[vt.] 使(某人)忧愁, 消沉, 沮丧
典型范例:Wet weather always depresses me.
我在阴雨天总是心灰意懒。
第二、短语精讲
1. have nothing to do with
讲解:这个短语很常用,意思是“与某人或某物无关”。介词with后面既可以接something,又可以接somebody。
e.g.You had better have nothing to do with him.
你最好不要跟他交往。
e.g.I have nothing to do with the matter.
我和那件事没有关系。
2. tell a lie:说谎
e.g.You degrade yourself when you tell a lie.
你撒谎时就贬低了自己。
e.g.He would think it beneath him to tell a lie.
他觉得说谎有失他的身份。
3. lead a life
讲解:这个短语和live a life意思相同,意思是“过生活”。如果要说过着什么样的生活了,在life前面加上名词或是形容词等修饰词语,也可以在life的后面加上介词of,在加上名词等。例如:lead a cat and a dog life(过着水火不相容的生活)。
e.g.You can lead a life of undisturbed peace ever afterwards.
你今后能安安静静地过日子,无人登门打扰。
e.g.We lead a quiet life in the country.
我们在乡下过着安静的生活。
4. have honor:有尊严,有荣耀
讲解:honor在这里是“尊严,荣耀”的意思。我们可以在honor前面加上形容词或名词等修饰词语,表示有什么样的尊严。
e.g.We're not gentlemen and we have no honor, have we?
我们不是上等人,也不顾及什么名誉,对不对?
5. have a reason:有理由
讲解:这个短语reason后面可以接动词不定式,也可以接由why引导的同位语从句。
e.g.I have a good reason not to be your friend!
我也有很好的理由不与你为友!
e.g.He must have had a good reason to have killed Tybalt.
他杀死提伯特一定有正当理由。
