Come on, sing along with me.
来吧,跟我一起唱。
I'm tone-deaf and can't keep a beat.
我五音不全而且跟不上节拍。
重点讲解:
I can't carry a tune and keep up with the beat.
I'm tone-deaf and can't keep a beat.
很多人不敢唱歌,认为自己唱歌不在调上,英文中形容某人“五音不全且 跟不上节拍”,可以说I can't carry a tune and keep up with the beat, keep up with 有“跟上”的意思,口语中表达“五音不全”有个简单的说法,即tone-deaf, deaf是“聋的”,tone-deaf很形象地表达了“五音不全”。
